The Witch of Vera Wood: Chapter 9

The Witch of Vera Wood

Chapter 9

 

            Today was Lina’s big day. Tarja had already shown her how to make the potion for eternal life, and it was almost done, except for one ingredient: some poor soul’s virginity. It was her job to acquire it now.

 

            Tarja had told her that this was considered a big day for young witches because it was one of the biggest steps in becoming a witch.

 

            “Or at least, it’s considered so,” Tarja had said to her before she left the cabin. “It’s really not that big a deal, practically.”

 

            Lina walked along the forest path to the clearing where Tarja herself had lured so many of her victims. Lina was alone, though, because she was told she had to be. Something about proving that you can do these things yourself was Tarja’s reason.

 

            As she walked, she played with the little, corked bottle in her pocket. In it was a small portion of the energy-harnessing potion that the two had made a few days back. It was necessary for acquiring the ingredient, and Lina was given explicit instructions on what to do. She recited them in her head, making sure she had them all. She didn’t want to disappoint Tarja. Peter had told Lina during one of their lessons about what happened the last time she’d failed to get what she wanted.

 

            She reached the clearing. It was empty except for two small squirrels that were fighting over a nut upon the large boulder in the center. Lina headed toward the boulder, sitting down at its base. She continued to play with the little bottle in her pocket, taking it out occasionally and looking at the clear liquid. The two little squirrels continued to fight, ignoring Lina and making annoying scratching and scraping sounds against the surface of the rock.

 

            After about an hour of impatient sitting and being nervous, Lina heard footsteps nearby. She peeked around the rock to see who it was. Tarja had told her that, a lot of times, there was a large group of boys who came out here to hang out and see if the witch would come. She didn’t see any group of boys, but a single, lonely teenage male walking across the clearing, looking down at his feet. Lina almost felt sorry for him, but regained her state of mind quickly. “This is the one,” she thought.

 

            She once again recited Tarja’s directions in her head. First, attract him. Make your presence known, but subtlety. Don’t make him think you were waiting there for him.

 

            The boy crossed the clearing, and walked into the woods again on the other side. There was a bend in the road about five hundred feet in. Lina decided she would wait for him there. She got up and ran silently through the trees, careful to make as little noise as possible. She got to the bend, quickly taking her place beneath a birch tree, leaning against the trunk. Hearing the boy’s footsteps, she quickly picked a nearby mushroom and pretended to examine it as the boy came around the corner. Seeing her, the boy began to turn around, but Lina wouldn’t let him get away.

 

            “Hello!” she said, cheerfully. She resisted cringing at hearing the words come out of her mouth. How on earth was that seductive?

 

            “Hi,” replied the boy shyly, turning his head in Lina’s direction. He had a handsome face and light blue eyes that were almost grey. He turned his head back and proceeded to make his way back toward the clearing.

 

            No! Lina though. Come back!

 

            She got up and ran after him. Was it really this hard? He was about twenty feet away from the bend when she reached it.

 

            “Why’re you leaving? Afraid of me?” Lina called to him. He turned around and looked at her. “I don’t bite, you know. Well, not unless you want me to,” she said, letting out a girlish giggle. She figured she’d go for cutely seductive.

 

            “You’re not the witch, are you?” asked the boy, a slight note of fear in his voice.

 

            “Ha ha, no,” said Lina, giving another girlish laugh and sitting down on a nearby rock and throwing her head back. She looked at the boy again. “I’m not the witch.”

 

            “Oh,” muttered the boy.

 

            Lina patted the space on the rock beside her, beckoning him. “Come sit,” she said. The boy obeyed and sat down. Lina finally got to see the boy up close. He was wearing a regular white tee shirt and jeans. She could also see that he was well built, with well defined muscles on his arms and torso. Check his eyes her conscience told her. She followed Tarja’s instructions and looked deep into his eyes and saw the little glimmer of light somewhere in the back. He’s a virgin!

 

            “What’s your name?” she asked, leaning her hand on her fist and batting her eyelashes cutely, but overdoing it a little bit. This is sooo girly.

 

            Obviously a little creeped out, the boy inched away a little bit, but replied quietly, “Jason.”

 

            “Well James, I’m Lina,” she said, continuing to use her fake, overly-girly voice. “What brings you to this part of the woods?”

 

            The boy remained silent, averting his gaze back down to the forest floor.

 

            “Aww, it’s ok if you don’t want to talk about it,” said Lina in an almost mocking tone, but not quite. She smiled, placing her hand on his thigh, a little too close for James to be comfortable. He took his hand and pushed Lina’s off gently. To his surprise, Lina then jumped nimbly onto his lap, lifted his head a bit, and looked into his eyes. “But it really does help if you talk about it!” she said with an even wider smile.

 

What am I doing?! she thought. She couldn’t believe herself. She pushed the thought away and continued to look into James’s eyes.

 

James, startled, fell back onto the ground. Lina jumped off his lap just in time not to fall, but then straddled James while he was down and put her hands on his chest.

 

“Oh, nice muscles!” she exclaimed, and proceeded to rip his shirt off. She could tell he was thinking something along the lines of “what the fuck is going on!? This chick is crazy!” but she didn’t care. She needed that ingredient. She leaned down and kissed him, her golden hair falling around his face. Initially startled, James could see where this was going and decided to go with the flow. Free sex from a hot girl, right? First time or not, any guy would take this.

 

Just as James was beginning to get into it, Lina pulled away.

 

“Now, you must do everything I say, got that?” she said, her voice a little more commanding now, but still with an air of cuteness. “Absolutely everything I say, or you’ll face the consequences.”

 

“Yes ma’am,” said James. He was actually into this kind of stuff, despite his shy exterior. Lina took the little bottle out of her pocket and uncorked it.

 

“Right when you orgasm, you have to look straight into this bottle, you got me? Straight in! Or else!”

 

James nodded. Lina the leaned down and they began to kiss again, Lina’s hands slowly going down towards his pants. At the same time, James reached for Lina’s jeans and pulled them down.

 

Once his dick was out and all clothes were off, they proceeded to have sex, Lina still on top. Soon James was getting close to climax.

 

“Look into the bottle,” said Lina, looking into his face to make sure his gaze was averted from her and onto the bottle. James was almost looking forward to the “or else” that Lina mentioned and decided not to listen. Lina saw he wasn’t looking, and just as he was about to climax she gripped his head and turned his eyes toward the opening of the bottle. He came, and Lina saw the bottle glow slightly, then fade back to clear. Realizing her mission had been accomplished, she got off while James lay there, panting. He sat up as Lina picked up the bottle and examined it.

 

“Good boy,” she said to James, still looking at the bottle and noticing a small spec of bright light bouncing around in the liquid. She put her clothes back on and then took out a small vial and a pocket knife. She went over to James, who still sat, naked, on the ground. She stood behind him, leaned down and put her knife to his skin.

 

“This will only hurt a little bit,” she said as she carved a small “L” into his back. He let out a hiss of pain, but he seemed to enjoy it. Lina collected a little bit of blood into the vial and corked it. She put both bottles and the knife back into her pocket.

 

“Nice meeting you, James,” she said, now with her cute voice again, and then skipped away gleefully. She’d gotten the ingredient she wanted, and now she was happy.

 

As she reached the clearing, a black dog bounded out of the woods behind her and knocked her over, licking her face.

 

“Peter!” she exclaimed. “What’re you doing here?”

 

            “Arf arf,” he replied. She wished she could understand what he said when he was in his canine form, but only Tarja could do that.

 

            “You weren’t watching me, were you?” she asked. Peter nodded and stuck his tongue out.

 

            “You were watching me have sex. That’s not creepy at all!” she said sarcastically, but smiled. Tarja probably sent him to make sure nothing bad happened. The two headed merrily towards the cabin.

 

            Tarja was there to greet the two. She tossed Peter a pile of clothes which he picked up and ran behind the cabin.

 

            “So? Did you get it?” she asked.

 

            “Of course she did!” said Peter, coming back and straightening out his shirt. “And she did amazingly well, especially for a first timer!”

 

            “Why’d you send him?” asked Lina, pointing to Peter.

 

            “To make sure you got the ingredients,” Tarja replied.

 

            “Yea,” said Peter. “And I would have attacked him if he left. Thankfully you drew him back. Complements, too, on the way you did it. The whole cute-and-seductive thing really worked!”

 

            “Come inside you two, and you’ll tell me about it over tea,” said Tarja. “Here, give me the ingredients.”

 

            Lina handed Tarja the two bottles. Tarja looked at the clear liquid closely. Satisfied, she pocketed them and headed inside. The other two followed her in.

           

           

 

            Lina smiled. She felt happier than she ever had before.
