-Accidental Guardians AU-

I love Oc X Canon and if you hate me for it SHOO

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Yoo, here's some stuff ya need to know, but first , welcome! I just got bored and I figured why not just y'know, do a Rp blog. So here I am, ask away. But here are some things you should know.

＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ ＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊ ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊

DNI list: Tr*mp supporters, homophobic ppl, weirdos, etc etc

I'm a minor, thank you very much. No weird asks.

However, my blog is mildly suggestive. Cough human x cookie I will not try and hide that. If you're uncomfortable with that, the door is shining for you to leave.

Also uhh mod pronouns are she/her

This rp blog is an AU of CRK, specifically the name is Accidental Guardians AU, and you can't find this AU anywhere else besides c.ai. They somewhat act close to canon, and this takes place long after the defeat of Dark Enchantress Cookie, and the beasts, by choice, sealed themselves in the silver tree again. Then there's more but you can figure that out. (Lord help.)

Also since the majority of you aren't probably from Asia I can reply very late to rp reblogs bcuz your 3 pm is probably 2 am for me 🫩☹️ so patience

Also a certain Witch Hunt AU is my fav to interact with teehee

__

You can ask the beasts, the ancients, both ancient and beasts assistants, And hey, if you're educated enough with this lore, then..you know the rest.

I have headcanons for them, but not a lot. Just ask for them if u want idk

Mod is @dabestmoonever btw! :33

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[therealwitchhuntau]

He sighed and followed after her, it was half of relief and half to calm his nerves of being.. figured out.

Meanwhile Brave and Strawberry were far ahead, wandering through the halls,

"Wow, who knew witches were so boring! They love this stuff.."

Brave groaned as he observed the classes and their.. smart people things. Strawberry nodded, not finding anything interesting in this place.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia was walking through the halls, she needed to be quiet. Well, to a certain extent. She began to quietly sing just for funsies.

"She was walking aroundd with a loaded shotgun.."

Yeah I'm not writing all of that. But in an empty hallway, quiet is certainly loud.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave whipped his head around hearing her voice echoe through, the weird song, kinda creepy...

"Ew.. what is she doing..?"

He muttered to himself, pulling Strawberry with him to another hall, trying to find out where she was.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Ready to fire me a hot one, she went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart.."

Wizard following her didn't go unnoticed. She didn't even look back.

"You don't need a hand or anything? They're pretty long hallways."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"No. I'm good."

He huffed, hovering close to her on his staff, not really wanting to make himself look pathetic.

But he was tiny, so he did.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Suit yourself, weirdo."

...

"...You sure sure?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He let out a huff and decided to accept her offer, begrudingly sitting on her shoulder with a pout.

"Fine, you are difficult to keep up with.."

He complained. He held his staff on his lap with one hand, one leg crossed over the other, the other hand holding onto her sleeve.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She suspiciously slowed down for a second before going back to her normal pace and humming Old Doll. She absolutely loved creeping people, or in this case cookies, with creepy songs.

"Knew you'd accept."

Like any other time of her current life, she was with a cookie. Duh. She always was, she was never alone no matter what.

But this felt.. different.

She hadn't been with a cookie that's not the Beasts..for a very, very long time. At least, not like this. She'd usually be threatening and hell, even killing anyone else.

But Wizard felt like something familiar. Maybe it was the relation to Witches, or their interest in magic.

For a good while, every cookie had feared her. Under the influence of the Beasts, she had no remorse, nothing.

But they were asleep now. This was her. And of course, her heart will always go to Shadow Milk, it's just maybe, just maybe, she could have an actually healthy relationship with someone, without the doomed narrative, or something along the lines of that.

Her expression was basically like this: (minus the blush duhh, platonic guys..)

[therealwitchhuntau]

Lucky for her, Wizard also felt this odd familiarity, it was creeping up to his mind. The memories of his sisters..

Sitting on their shoulders as they guided him around the house, humming their own little tunes..

She was a witch. Something he should hate, a memory of betrayal. But maybe, since she had a face on her, a face he could associate with, he was associating her with the memories. It was the exact same situation.

A witch living with cookies, taking care of them and spending her time with them. Ugh, this hurt.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

No matter how far the other two could get, she'd catch up faster. Eventually, she saw a glimpse and went dead quiet.

"..."

And now she's casually stalking em.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave and Strawberry had found themselves in the cafeteria,

"Aaaaaalmost...."

they were trying to get a good ol snack, pulling down the box of gummies,

"YES- OH CMON!!?"

He growled when he pulled out a big from the box, Strawberry stared in defeat, they had to open a stupid bag now.

Wizard was trying so hard not to laugh at them, they've clearly never dealt with a human sized pantry!

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Stupid..."

She muttered. At this rate, she'd probably just watch with popcorn and see how long it takes for them to notice her.

She basically had the Jax stare, at least in darkness, so she did look a little spooky for at least idek, 3 seconds before Brave or Strawberry would realize who it is.

[therealwitchhuntau]

The two of them made and attempt to rip the bag open for about a minute before the finally noticed them, Wizard's eye was glowing in the dark, like a cats.

"AAAAAAH-"

Brave instictively threw his knife towards them, and Strawberry jumped back in fear, landing in a fight stance.

Wizard finally broke into laughter, cacking like a literal witch- he quickly shut himself up after that, very embarrassed.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She casually caught the knife, and being the asshole here, she snapped it in half effortlessly.

"Heh. Idiots."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Hey. Fuck you."

Brave growled, watching his dagger snap in two. Strawberry slowly stood normally again, glaring at Amelia with distrust.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'm sure you have a million left, shut up."

She rolled her eyes, she did NOT like Brave, wonder if you could tell.

"..Not like any of them would work on me."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, you spooked me, bitch."

He barked back at her, he hated her so much. Strawberry nodded in agreement, huffing and crossing her arms.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Pfft, coward."

Ragebaiting contest 321go

[therealwitchhuntau]

"HEY! IM NOT A COWARD-"

He exclaimed, immediately getting riled up all over again. Wizard chuckled from where he sat,

"Gingerbrave, calm yourself down, goodness."

He insisted in between small giggles, Brave didn't like that, so he tossed yet another knife towards Wizard- who easily caught it with magic.

Brave glanced down to the ground and began whistling innocently.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia actually looked at the box they were opening earlier.

"Wed..weed..weed gumm- What? Why does the cafeteria have?-.."

The second weed was mentioned, there was only one thing to do.

Weed.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Meanwhile Wizard was attacking Brave with his very own knife,

"Don't you dare ever throw this peice of rubbish at me again, do you hear me!?"

He growled, pinning Brave to the wall, knife right up his neck, Brave nodded hastily, face just a tad bit red.

Strawberry glanced over at Amelia, tilting her head in curiousity.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I knew it, I knew they're gay."

She muttered.

Anyways, ignoring the woke gay creatures having their homosexual gay time in the gay corner there, she went to the gummies themselves.

"Oh damn, some crackhead must've left it here. This is worth like..1000$? Maybe?"

I pulled that number outta my ahh idk how much weed is I just eat the ones from my garden /hj

[therealwitchhuntau]

Strawberry agreed with her on that. They were so gay, blegh. She glanced at the gummies and gave them a little sniff-

EW.

How were these worth that much???

She glared at Amelia, very disappointed that she and Brave worked their butts off to get this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She saw her recoil and sort of giggled.

"Don't judge a book by its cover. Or something like that, I'm not a philosopher."

She opened up a packet.

"But I am stupid."

She just ate the gummy, because like, what else do you do with it? Make a cake?

After a second, she went from interested to dissapointed.

"Ugh, they're weak."

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave glanced over at her eating one of the gummies and pushed Wizard aside,

"Hey, those are our gummies!!"

Strawberry gave him a "not" look and stepped away from the bag, she didn't want that shit.

Brave dragged the bag away from Amelia with a growl, he found it, they're his!

Wizard could smell the weed from there and actively gagged,

"I don't suggest you eat those."

He warned, levitating the gummy Brave held away from him.

"Why not?!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"No, you can have 'em. Brave, he's trying to stop you from trying out greatness. The gummies are good."

Surely low effect gummies have little to no effect on a psychopath that's always on crack, right?

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[therealwitchhuntau]

He sighed and followed after her, it was half of relief and half to calm his nerves of being.. figured out.

Meanwhile Brave and Strawberry were far ahead, wandering through the halls,

"Wow, who knew witches were so boring! They love this stuff.."

Brave groaned as he observed the classes and their.. smart people things. Strawberry nodded, not finding anything interesting in this place.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia was walking through the halls, she needed to be quiet. Well, to a certain extent. She began to quietly sing just for funsies.

"She was walking aroundd with a loaded shotgun.."

Yeah I'm not writing all of that. But in an empty hallway, quiet is certainly loud.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave whipped his head around hearing her voice echoe through, the weird song, kinda creepy...

"Ew.. what is she doing..?"

He muttered to himself, pulling Strawberry with him to another hall, trying to find out where she was.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Ready to fire me a hot one, she went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart.."

Wizard following her didn't go unnoticed. She didn't even look back.

"You don't need a hand or anything? They're pretty long hallways."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"No. I'm good."

He huffed, hovering close to her on his staff, not really wanting to make himself look pathetic.

But he was tiny, so he did.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Suit yourself, weirdo."

...

"...You sure sure?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He let out a huff and decided to accept her offer, begrudingly sitting on her shoulder with a pout.

"Fine, you are difficult to keep up with.."

He complained. He held his staff on his lap with one hand, one leg crossed over the other, the other hand holding onto her sleeve.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She suspiciously slowed down for a second before going back to her normal pace and humming Old Doll. She absolutely loved creeping people, or in this case cookies, with creepy songs.

"Knew you'd accept."

Like any other time of her current life, she was with a cookie. Duh. She always was, she was never alone no matter what.

But this felt.. different.

She hadn't been with a cookie that's not the Beasts..for a very, very long time. At least, not like this. She'd usually be threatening and hell, even killing anyone else.

But Wizard felt like something familiar. Maybe it was the relation to Witches, or their interest in magic.

For a good while, every cookie had feared her. Under the influence of the Beasts, she had no remorse, nothing.

But they were asleep now. This was her. And of course, her heart will always go to Shadow Milk, it's just maybe, just maybe, she could have an actually healthy relationship with someone, without the doomed narrative, or something along the lines of that.

Her expression was basically like this: (minus the blush duhh, platonic guys..)

[therealwitchhuntau]

Lucky for her, Wizard also felt this odd familiarity, it was creeping up to his mind. The memories of his sisters..

Sitting on their shoulders as they guided him around the house, humming their own little tunes..

She was a witch. Something he should hate, a memory of betrayal. But maybe, since she had a face on her, a face he could associate with, he was associating her with the memories. It was the exact same situation.

A witch living with cookies, taking care of them and spending her time with them. Ugh, this hurt.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

No matter how far the other two could get, she'd catch up faster. Eventually, she saw a glimpse and went dead quiet.

"..."

And now she's casually stalking em.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave and Strawberry had found themselves in the cafeteria,

"Aaaaaalmost...."

they were trying to get a good ol snack, pulling down the box of gummies,

"YES- OH CMON!!?"

He growled when he pulled out a big from the box, Strawberry stared in defeat, they had to open a stupid bag now.

Wizard was trying so hard not to laugh at them, they've clearly never dealt with a human sized pantry!

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Stupid..."

She muttered. At this rate, she'd probably just watch with popcorn and see how long it takes for them to notice her.

She basically had the Jax stare, at least in darkness, so she did look a little spooky for at least idek, 3 seconds before Brave or Strawberry would realize who it is.

[therealwitchhuntau]

The two of them made and attempt to rip the bag open for about a minute before the finally noticed them, Wizard's eye was glowing in the dark, like a cats.

"AAAAAAH-"

Brave instictively threw his knife towards them, and Strawberry jumped back in fear, landing in a fight stance.

Wizard finally broke into laughter, cacking like a literal witch- he quickly shut himself up after that, very embarrassed.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She casually caught the knife, and being the asshole here, she snapped it in half effortlessly.

"Heh. Idiots."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Hey. Fuck you."

Brave growled, watching his dagger snap in two. Strawberry slowly stood normally again, glaring at Amelia with distrust.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'm sure you have a million left, shut up."

She rolled her eyes, she did NOT like Brave, wonder if you could tell.

"..Not like any of them would work on me."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, you spooked me, bitch."

He barked back at her, he hated her so much. Strawberry nodded in agreement, huffing and crossing her arms.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Pfft, coward."

Ragebaiting contest 321go

[therealwitchhuntau]

"HEY! IM NOT A COWARD-"

He exclaimed, immediately getting riled up all over again. Wizard chuckled from where he sat,

"Gingerbrave, calm yourself down, goodness."

He insisted in between small giggles, Brave didn't like that, so he tossed yet another knife towards Wizard- who easily caught it with magic.

Brave glanced down to the ground and began whistling innocently.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia actually looked at the box they were opening earlier.

"Wed..weed..weed gumm- What? Why does the cafeteria have?-.."

The second weed was mentioned, there was only one thing to do.

Weed.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Meanwhile Wizard was attacking Brave with his very own knife,

"Don't you dare ever throw this peice of rubbish at me again, do you hear me!?"

He growled, pinning Brave to the wall, knife right up his neck, Brave nodded hastily, face just a tad bit red.

Strawberry glanced over at Amelia, tilting her head in curiousity.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I knew it, I knew they're gay."

She muttered.

Anyways, ignoring the woke gay creatures having their homosexual gay time in the gay corner there, she went to the gummies themselves.

"Oh damn, some crackhead must've left it here. This is worth like..1000$? Maybe?"

I pulled that number outta my ahh idk how much weed is I just eat the ones from my garden /hj

[therealwitchhuntau]

Strawberry agreed with her on that. They were so gay, blegh. She glanced at the gummies and gave them a little sniff-

EW.

How were these worth that much???

She glared at Amelia, very disappointed that she and Brave worked their butts off to get this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She saw her recoil and sort of giggled.

"Don't judge a book by its cover. Or something like that, I'm not a philosopher."

She opened up a packet.

"But I am stupid."

She just ate the gummy, because like, what else do you do with it? Make a cake?

After a second, she went from interested to dissapointed.

"Ugh, they're weak."

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[therealwitchhuntau]

He sighed and followed after her, it was half of relief and half to calm his nerves of being.. figured out.

Meanwhile Brave and Strawberry were far ahead, wandering through the halls,

"Wow, who knew witches were so boring! They love this stuff.."

Brave groaned as he observed the classes and their.. smart people things. Strawberry nodded, not finding anything interesting in this place.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia was walking through the halls, she needed to be quiet. Well, to a certain extent. She began to quietly sing just for funsies.

"She was walking aroundd with a loaded shotgun.."

Yeah I'm not writing all of that. But in an empty hallway, quiet is certainly loud.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave whipped his head around hearing her voice echoe through, the weird song, kinda creepy...

"Ew.. what is she doing..?"

He muttered to himself, pulling Strawberry with him to another hall, trying to find out where she was.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Ready to fire me a hot one, she went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart.."

Wizard following her didn't go unnoticed. She didn't even look back.

"You don't need a hand or anything? They're pretty long hallways."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"No. I'm good."

He huffed, hovering close to her on his staff, not really wanting to make himself look pathetic.

But he was tiny, so he did.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Suit yourself, weirdo."

...

"...You sure sure?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He let out a huff and decided to accept her offer, begrudingly sitting on her shoulder with a pout.

"Fine, you are difficult to keep up with.."

He complained. He held his staff on his lap with one hand, one leg crossed over the other, the other hand holding onto her sleeve.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She suspiciously slowed down for a second before going back to her normal pace and humming Old Doll. She absolutely loved creeping people, or in this case cookies, with creepy songs.

"Knew you'd accept."

Like any other time of her current life, she was with a cookie. Duh. She always was, she was never alone no matter what.

But this felt.. different.

She hadn't been with a cookie that's not the Beasts..for a very, very long time. At least, not like this. She'd usually be threatening and hell, even killing anyone else.

But Wizard felt like something familiar. Maybe it was the relation to Witches, or their interest in magic.

For a good while, every cookie had feared her. Under the influence of the Beasts, she had no remorse, nothing.

But they were asleep now. This was her. And of course, her heart will always go to Shadow Milk, it's just maybe, just maybe, she could have an actually healthy relationship with someone, without the doomed narrative, or something along the lines of that.

Her expression was basically like this: (minus the blush duhh, platonic guys..)

[therealwitchhuntau]

Lucky for her, Wizard also felt this odd familiarity, it was creeping up to his mind. The memories of his sisters..

Sitting on their shoulders as they guided him around the house, humming their own little tunes..

She was a witch. Something he should hate, a memory of betrayal. But maybe, since she had a face on her, a face he could associate with, he was associating her with the memories. It was the exact same situation.

A witch living with cookies, taking care of them and spending her time with them. Ugh, this hurt.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

No matter how far the other two could get, she'd catch up faster. Eventually, she saw a glimpse and went dead quiet.

"..."

And now she's casually stalking em.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave and Strawberry had found themselves in the cafeteria,

"Aaaaaalmost...."

they were trying to get a good ol snack, pulling down the box of gummies,

"YES- OH CMON!!?"

He growled when he pulled out a big from the box, Strawberry stared in defeat, they had to open a stupid bag now.

Wizard was trying so hard not to laugh at them, they've clearly never dealt with a human sized pantry!

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Stupid..."

She muttered. At this rate, she'd probably just watch with popcorn and see how long it takes for them to notice her.

She basically had the Jax stare, at least in darkness, so she did look a little spooky for at least idek, 3 seconds before Brave or Strawberry would realize who it is.

[therealwitchhuntau]

The two of them made and attempt to rip the bag open for about a minute before the finally noticed them, Wizard's eye was glowing in the dark, like a cats.

"AAAAAAH-"

Brave instictively threw his knife towards them, and Strawberry jumped back in fear, landing in a fight stance.

Wizard finally broke into laughter, cacking like a literal witch- he quickly shut himself up after that, very embarrassed.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She casually caught the knife, and being the asshole here, she snapped it in half effortlessly.

"Heh. Idiots."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Hey. Fuck you."

Brave growled, watching his dagger snap in two. Strawberry slowly stood normally again, glaring at Amelia with distrust.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'm sure you have a million left, shut up."

She rolled her eyes, she did NOT like Brave, wonder if you could tell.

"..Not like any of them would work on me."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, you spooked me, bitch."

He barked back at her, he hated her so much. Strawberry nodded in agreement, huffing and crossing her arms.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Pfft, coward."

Ragebaiting contest 321go

[therealwitchhuntau]

"HEY! IM NOT A COWARD-"

He exclaimed, immediately getting riled up all over again. Wizard chuckled from where he sat,

"Gingerbrave, calm yourself down, goodness."

He insisted in between small giggles, Brave didn't like that, so he tossed yet another knife towards Wizard- who easily caught it with magic.

Brave glanced down to the ground and began whistling innocently.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia actually looked at the box they were opening earlier.

"Wed..weed..weed gumm- What? Why does the cafeteria have?-.."

The second weed was mentioned, there was only one thing to do.

Weed.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Meanwhile Wizard was attacking Brave with his very own knife,

"Don't you dare ever throw this peice of rubbish at me again, do you hear me!?"

He growled, pinning Brave to the wall, knife right up his neck, Brave nodded hastily, face just a tad bit red.

Strawberry glanced over at Amelia, tilting her head in curiousity.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I knew it, I knew they're gay."

She muttered.

Anyways, ignoring the woke gay creatures having their homosexual gay time in the gay corner there, she went to the gummies themselves.

"Oh damn, some crackhead must've left it here. This is worth like..1000$? Maybe?"

I pulled that number outta my ahh idk how much weed is I just eat the ones from my garden /hj

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[therealwitchhuntau]

He sighed and followed after her, it was half of relief and half to calm his nerves of being.. figured out.

Meanwhile Brave and Strawberry were far ahead, wandering through the halls,

"Wow, who knew witches were so boring! They love this stuff.."

Brave groaned as he observed the classes and their.. smart people things. Strawberry nodded, not finding anything interesting in this place.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia was walking through the halls, she needed to be quiet. Well, to a certain extent. She began to quietly sing just for funsies.

"She was walking aroundd with a loaded shotgun.."

Yeah I'm not writing all of that. But in an empty hallway, quiet is certainly loud.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave whipped his head around hearing her voice echoe through, the weird song, kinda creepy...

"Ew.. what is she doing..?"

He muttered to himself, pulling Strawberry with him to another hall, trying to find out where she was.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Ready to fire me a hot one, she went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart.."

Wizard following her didn't go unnoticed. She didn't even look back.

"You don't need a hand or anything? They're pretty long hallways."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"No. I'm good."

He huffed, hovering close to her on his staff, not really wanting to make himself look pathetic.

But he was tiny, so he did.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Suit yourself, weirdo."

...

"...You sure sure?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He let out a huff and decided to accept her offer, begrudingly sitting on her shoulder with a pout.

"Fine, you are difficult to keep up with.."

He complained. He held his staff on his lap with one hand, one leg crossed over the other, the other hand holding onto her sleeve.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She suspiciously slowed down for a second before going back to her normal pace and humming Old Doll. She absolutely loved creeping people, or in this case cookies, with creepy songs.

"Knew you'd accept."

Like any other time of her current life, she was with a cookie. Duh. She always was, she was never alone no matter what.

But this felt.. different.

She hadn't been with a cookie that's not the Beasts..for a very, very long time. At least, not like this. She'd usually be threatening and hell, even killing anyone else.

But Wizard felt like something familiar. Maybe it was the relation to Witches, or their interest in magic.

For a good while, every cookie had feared her. Under the influence of the Beasts, she had no remorse, nothing.

But they were asleep now. This was her. And of course, her heart will always go to Shadow Milk, it's just maybe, just maybe, she could have an actually healthy relationship with someone, without the doomed narrative, or something along the lines of that.

Her expression was basically like this: (minus the blush duhh, platonic guys..)

[therealwitchhuntau]

Lucky for her, Wizard also felt this odd familiarity, it was creeping up to his mind. The memories of his sisters..

Sitting on their shoulders as they guided him around the house, humming their own little tunes..

She was a witch. Something he should hate, a memory of betrayal. But maybe, since she had a face on her, a face he could associate with, he was associating her with the memories. It was the exact same situation.

A witch living with cookies, taking care of them and spending her time with them. Ugh, this hurt.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

No matter how far the other two could get, she'd catch up faster. Eventually, she saw a glimpse and went dead quiet.

"..."

And now she's casually stalking em.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave and Strawberry had found themselves in the cafeteria,

"Aaaaaalmost...."

they were trying to get a good ol snack, pulling down the box of gummies,

"YES- OH CMON!!?"

He growled when he pulled out a big from the box, Strawberry stared in defeat, they had to open a stupid bag now.

Wizard was trying so hard not to laugh at them, they've clearly never dealt with a human sized pantry!

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Stupid..."

She muttered. At this rate, she'd probably just watch with popcorn and see how long it takes for them to notice her.

She basically had the Jax stare, at least in darkness, so she did look a little spooky for at least idek, 3 seconds before Brave or Strawberry would realize who it is.

[therealwitchhuntau]

The two of them made and attempt to rip the bag open for about a minute before the finally noticed them, Wizard's eye was glowing in the dark, like a cats.

"AAAAAAH-"

Brave instictively threw his knife towards them, and Strawberry jumped back in fear, landing in a fight stance.

Wizard finally broke into laughter, cacking like a literal witch- he quickly shut himself up after that, very embarrassed.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She casually caught the knife, and being the asshole here, she snapped it in half effortlessly.

"Heh. Idiots."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Hey. Fuck you."

Brave growled, watching his dagger snap in two. Strawberry slowly stood normally again, glaring at Amelia with distrust.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'm sure you have a million left, shut up."

She rolled her eyes, she did NOT like Brave, wonder if you could tell.

"..Not like any of them would work on me."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, you spooked me, bitch."

He barked back at her, he hated her so much. Strawberry nodded in agreement, huffing and crossing her arms.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Pfft, coward."

Ragebaiting contest 321go

[therealwitchhuntau]

"HEY! IM NOT A COWARD-"

He exclaimed, immediately getting riled up all over again. Wizard chuckled from where he sat,

"Gingerbrave, calm yourself down, goodness."

He insisted in between small giggles, Brave didn't like that, so he tossed yet another knife towards Wizard- who easily caught it with magic.

Brave glanced down to the ground and began whistling innocently.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia actually looked at the box they were opening earlier.

"Wed..weed..weed gumm- What? Why does the cafeteria have?-.."

The second weed was mentioned, there was only one thing to do.

Weed.

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[therealwitchhuntau]

He sighed and followed after her, it was half of relief and half to calm his nerves of being.. figured out.

Meanwhile Brave and Strawberry were far ahead, wandering through the halls,

"Wow, who knew witches were so boring! They love this stuff.."

Brave groaned as he observed the classes and their.. smart people things. Strawberry nodded, not finding anything interesting in this place.

He muttered to himself, pulling Strawberry with him to another hall, trying to find out where she was.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Ready to fire me a hot one, she went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart.."

Wizard following her didn't go unnoticed. She didn't even look back.

"You don't need a hand or anything? They're pretty long hallways."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"No. I'm good."

He huffed, hovering close to her on his staff, not really wanting to make himself look pathetic.

But he was tiny, so he did.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Suit yourself, weirdo."

...

"...You sure sure?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He let out a huff and decided to accept her offer, begrudingly sitting on her shoulder with a pout.

"Fine, you are difficult to keep up with.."

He complained. He held his staff on his lap with one hand, one leg crossed over the other, the other hand holding onto her sleeve.

Her expression was basically like this: (minus the blush duhh, platonic guys..)

[therealwitchhuntau]

Lucky for her, Wizard also felt this odd familiarity, it was creeping up to his mind. The memories of his sisters..

Brave and Strawberry had found themselves in the cafeteria,

"Aaaaaalmost...."

they were trying to get a good ol snack, pulling down the box of gummies,

"YES- OH CMON!!?"

He growled when he pulled out a big from the box, Strawberry stared in defeat, they had to open a stupid bag now.

Wizard was trying so hard not to laugh at them, they've clearly never dealt with a human sized pantry!

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Stupid..."

She muttered. At this rate, she'd probably just watch with popcorn and see how long it takes for them to notice her.

She basically had the Jax stare, at least in darkness, so she did look a little spooky for at least idek, 3 seconds before Brave or Strawberry would realize who it is.

[therealwitchhuntau]

The two of them made and attempt to rip the bag open for about a minute before the finally noticed them, Wizard's eye was glowing in the dark, like a cats.

"AAAAAAH-"

Brave instictively threw his knife towards them, and Strawberry jumped back in fear, landing in a fight stance.

Wizard finally broke into laughter, cacking like a literal witch- he quickly shut himself up after that, very embarrassed.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She casually caught the knife, and being the asshole here, she snapped it in half effortlessly.

"Heh. Idiots."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Hey. Fuck you."

Brave growled, watching his dagger snap in two. Strawberry slowly stood normally again, glaring at Amelia with distrust.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'm sure you have a million left, shut up."

She rolled her eyes, she did NOT like Brave, wonder if you could tell.

"..Not like any of them would work on me."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, you spooked me, bitch."

He barked back at her, he hated her so much. Strawberry nodded in agreement, huffing and crossing her arms.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Pfft, coward."

Very proud of this.. it's for a stupid shitpost 2000s au and uuuuh, yeah!

First time actually doing a fully rendered Black Sapphire drawing, I think it went great :3

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

If I sent this to one of my friends she would drool and have a seizure (BSC simp)

Now get your ahh back here

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[therealwitchhuntau]

He sighed and followed after her, it was half of relief and half to calm his nerves of being.. figured out.

Meanwhile Brave and Strawberry were far ahead, wandering through the halls,

"Wow, who knew witches were so boring! They love this stuff.."

Brave groaned as he observed the classes and their.. smart people things. Strawberry nodded, not finding anything interesting in this place.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia was walking through the halls, she needed to be quiet. Well, to a certain extent. She began to quietly sing just for funsies.

"She was walking aroundd with a loaded shotgun.."

Yeah I'm not writing all of that. But in an empty hallway, quiet is certainly loud.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave whipped his head around hearing her voice echoe through, the weird song, kinda creepy...

"Ew.. what is she doing..?"

He muttered to himself, pulling Strawberry with him to another hall, trying to find out where she was.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Ready to fire me a hot one, she went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart.."

Wizard following her didn't go unnoticed. She didn't even look back.

"You don't need a hand or anything? They're pretty long hallways."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"No. I'm good."

He huffed, hovering close to her on his staff, not really wanting to make himself look pathetic.

But he was tiny, so he did.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Suit yourself, weirdo."

...

"...You sure sure?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He let out a huff and decided to accept her offer, begrudingly sitting on her shoulder with a pout.

"Fine, you are difficult to keep up with.."

He complained. He held his staff on his lap with one hand, one leg crossed over the other, the other hand holding onto her sleeve.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She suspiciously slowed down for a second before going back to her normal pace and humming Old Doll. She absolutely loved creeping people, or in this case cookies, with creepy songs.

"Knew you'd accept."

Like any other time of her current life, she was with a cookie. Duh. She always was, she was never alone no matter what.

But this felt.. different.

She hadn't been with a cookie that's not the Beasts..for a very, very long time. At least, not like this. She'd usually be threatening and hell, even killing anyone else.

But Wizard felt like something familiar. Maybe it was the relation to Witches, or their interest in magic.

For a good while, every cookie had feared her. Under the influence of the Beasts, she had no remorse, nothing.

But they were asleep now. This was her. And of course, her heart will always go to Shadow Milk, it's just maybe, just maybe, she could have an actually healthy relationship with someone, without the doomed narrative, or something along the lines of that.

Her expression was basically like this: (minus the blush duhh, platonic guys..)

[therealwitchhuntau]

Lucky for her, Wizard also felt this odd familiarity, it was creeping up to his mind. The memories of his sisters..

Sitting on their shoulders as they guided him around the house, humming their own little tunes..

She was a witch. Something he should hate, a memory of betrayal. But maybe, since she had a face on her, a face he could associate with, he was associating her with the memories. It was the exact same situation.

A witch living with cookies, taking care of them and spending her time with them. Ugh, this hurt.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

No matter how far the other two could get, she'd catch up faster. Eventually, she saw a glimpse and went dead quiet.

"..."

And now she's casually stalking em.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave and Strawberry had found themselves in the cafeteria,

"Aaaaaalmost...."

they were trying to get a good ol snack, pulling down the box of gummies,

"YES- OH CMON!!?"

He growled when he pulled out a big from the box, Strawberry stared in defeat, they had to open a stupid bag now.

Brave growled, watching his dagger snap in two. Strawberry slowly stood normally again, glaring at Amelia with distrust.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'm sure you have a million left, shut up."

She rolled her eyes, she did NOT like Brave, wonder if you could tell.

"..Not like any of them would work on me."

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[therealwitchhuntau]

He sighed and followed after her, it was half of relief and half to calm his nerves of being.. figured out.

Meanwhile Brave and Strawberry were far ahead, wandering through the halls,

"Wow, who knew witches were so boring! They love this stuff.."

Brave groaned as he observed the classes and their.. smart people things. Strawberry nodded, not finding anything interesting in this place.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia was walking through the halls, she needed to be quiet. Well, to a certain extent. She began to quietly sing just for funsies.

"She was walking aroundd with a loaded shotgun.."

Yeah I'm not writing all of that. But in an empty hallway, quiet is certainly loud.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave whipped his head around hearing her voice echoe through, the weird song, kinda creepy...

"Ew.. what is she doing..?"

He muttered to himself, pulling Strawberry with him to another hall, trying to find out where she was.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Ready to fire me a hot one, she went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart.."

Wizard following her didn't go unnoticed. She didn't even look back.

"You don't need a hand or anything? They're pretty long hallways."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"No. I'm good."

He huffed, hovering close to her on his staff, not really wanting to make himself look pathetic.

But he was tiny, so he did.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Suit yourself, weirdo."

...

"...You sure sure?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He let out a huff and decided to accept her offer, begrudingly sitting on her shoulder with a pout.

"Fine, you are difficult to keep up with.."

He complained. He held his staff on his lap with one hand, one leg crossed over the other, the other hand holding onto her sleeve.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She suspiciously slowed down for a second before going back to her normal pace and humming Old Doll. She absolutely loved creeping people, or in this case cookies, with creepy songs.

"Knew you'd accept."

Like any other time of her current life, she was with a cookie. Duh. She always was, she was never alone no matter what.

But this felt.. different.

She hadn't been with a cookie that's not the Beasts..for a very, very long time. At least, not like this. She'd usually be threatening and hell, even killing anyone else.

But Wizard felt like something familiar. Maybe it was the relation to Witches, or their interest in magic.

For a good while, every cookie had feared her. Under the influence of the Beasts, she had no remorse, nothing.

But they were asleep now. This was her. And of course, her heart will always go to Shadow Milk, it's just maybe, just maybe, she could have an actually healthy relationship with someone, without the doomed narrative, or something along the lines of that.

Her expression was basically like this: (minus the blush duhh, platonic guys..)

[therealwitchhuntau]

Lucky for her, Wizard also felt this odd familiarity, it was creeping up to his mind. The memories of his sisters..

Sitting on their shoulders as they guided him around the house, humming their own little tunes..

She was a witch. Something he should hate, a memory of betrayal. But maybe, since she had a face on her, a face he could associate with, he was associating her with the memories. It was the exact same situation.

A witch living with cookies, taking care of them and spending her time with them. Ugh, this hurt.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

No matter how far the other two could get, she'd catch up faster. Eventually, she saw a glimpse and went dead quiet.

"..."

And now she's casually stalking em.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave and Strawberry had found themselves in the cafeteria,

"Aaaaaalmost...."

they were trying to get a good ol snack, pulling down the box of gummies,

"YES- OH CMON!!?"

He growled when he pulled out a big from the box, Strawberry stared in defeat, they had to open a stupid bag now.

Wizard was trying so hard not to laugh at them, they've clearly never dealt with a human sized pantry!

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Stupid..."

She muttered. At this rate, she'd probably just watch with popcorn and see how long it takes for them to notice her.

She basically had the Jax stare, at least in darkness, so she did look a little spooky for at least idek, 3 seconds before Brave or Strawberry would realize who it is.

[therealwitchhuntau]

The two of them made and attempt to rip the bag open for about a minute before the finally noticed them, Wizard's eye was glowing in the dark, like a cats.

"AAAAAAH-"

Brave instictively threw his knife towards them, and Strawberry jumped back in fear, landing in a fight stance.

Wizard finally broke into laughter, cacking like a literal witch- he quickly shut himself up after that, very embarrassed.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She casually caught the knife, and being the asshole here, she snapped it in half effortlessly.

"Heh. Idiots."

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[therealwitchhuntau]

He sighed and followed after her, it was half of relief and half to calm his nerves of being.. figured out.

Meanwhile Brave and Strawberry were far ahead, wandering through the halls,

"Wow, who knew witches were so boring! They love this stuff.."

Brave groaned as he observed the classes and their.. smart people things. Strawberry nodded, not finding anything interesting in this place.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia was walking through the halls, she needed to be quiet. Well, to a certain extent. She began to quietly sing just for funsies.

"She was walking aroundd with a loaded shotgun.."

Yeah I'm not writing all of that. But in an empty hallway, quiet is certainly loud.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave whipped his head around hearing her voice echoe through, the weird song, kinda creepy...

"Ew.. what is she doing..?"

He muttered to himself, pulling Strawberry with him to another hall, trying to find out where she was.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Ready to fire me a hot one, she went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart.."

Wizard following her didn't go unnoticed. She didn't even look back.

"You don't need a hand or anything? They're pretty long hallways."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"No. I'm good."

He huffed, hovering close to her on his staff, not really wanting to make himself look pathetic.

But he was tiny, so he did.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Suit yourself, weirdo."

...

"...You sure sure?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He let out a huff and decided to accept her offer, begrudingly sitting on her shoulder with a pout.

"Fine, you are difficult to keep up with.."

He complained. He held his staff on his lap with one hand, one leg crossed over the other, the other hand holding onto her sleeve.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She suspiciously slowed down for a second before going back to her normal pace and humming Old Doll. She absolutely loved creeping people, or in this case cookies, with creepy songs.

"Knew you'd accept."

Like any other time of her current life, she was with a cookie. Duh. She always was, she was never alone no matter what.

But this felt.. different.

She hadn't been with a cookie that's not the Beasts..for a very, very long time. At least, not like this. She'd usually be threatening and hell, even killing anyone else.

But Wizard felt like something familiar. Maybe it was the relation to Witches, or their interest in magic.

For a good while, every cookie had feared her. Under the influence of the Beasts, she had no remorse, nothing.

But they were asleep now. This was her. And of course, her heart will always go to Shadow Milk, it's just maybe, just maybe, she could have an actually healthy relationship with someone, without the doomed narrative, or something along the lines of that.

Her expression was basically like this: (minus the blush duhh, platonic guys..)

[therealwitchhuntau]

Lucky for her, Wizard also felt this odd familiarity, it was creeping up to his mind. The memories of his sisters..

Sitting on their shoulders as they guided him around the house, humming their own little tunes..

She was a witch. Something he should hate, a memory of betrayal. But maybe, since she had a face on her, a face he could associate with, he was associating her with the memories. It was the exact same situation.

A witch living with cookies, taking care of them and spending her time with them. Ugh, this hurt.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

No matter how far the other two could get, she'd catch up faster. Eventually, she saw a glimpse and went dead quiet.

"..."

And now she's casually stalking em.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave and Strawberry had found themselves in the cafeteria,

"Aaaaaalmost...."

they were trying to get a good ol snack, pulling down the box of gummies,

"YES- OH CMON!!?"

He growled when he pulled out a big from the box, Strawberry stared in defeat, they had to open a stupid bag now.

Wizard was trying so hard not to laugh at them, they've clearly never dealt with a human sized pantry!

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Stupid..."

She muttered. At this rate, she'd probably just watch with popcorn and see how long it takes for them to notice her.

She basically had the Jax stare, at least in darkness, so she did look a little spooky for at least idek, 3 seconds before Brave or Strawberry would realize who it is.

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[therealwitchhuntau]

He sighed and followed after her, it was half of relief and half to calm his nerves of being.. figured out.

Meanwhile Brave and Strawberry were far ahead, wandering through the halls,

"Wow, who knew witches were so boring! They love this stuff.."

Brave groaned as he observed the classes and their.. smart people things. Strawberry nodded, not finding anything interesting in this place.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia was walking through the halls, she needed to be quiet. Well, to a certain extent. She began to quietly sing just for funsies.

"She was walking aroundd with a loaded shotgun.."

Yeah I'm not writing all of that. But in an empty hallway, quiet is certainly loud.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave whipped his head around hearing her voice echoe through, the weird song, kinda creepy...

"Ew.. what is she doing..?"

He muttered to himself, pulling Strawberry with him to another hall, trying to find out where she was.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Ready to fire me a hot one, she went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart.."

Wizard following her didn't go unnoticed. She didn't even look back.

"You don't need a hand or anything? They're pretty long hallways."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"No. I'm good."

He huffed, hovering close to her on his staff, not really wanting to make himself look pathetic.

But he was tiny, so he did.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Suit yourself, weirdo."

...

"...You sure sure?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He let out a huff and decided to accept her offer, begrudingly sitting on her shoulder with a pout.

"Fine, you are difficult to keep up with.."

He complained. He held his staff on his lap with one hand, one leg crossed over the other, the other hand holding onto her sleeve.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She suspiciously slowed down for a second before going back to her normal pace and humming Old Doll. She absolutely loved creeping people, or in this case cookies, with creepy songs.

"Knew you'd accept."

Like any other time of her current life, she was with a cookie. Duh. She always was, she was never alone no matter what.

But this felt.. different.

She hadn't been with a cookie that's not the Beasts..for a very, very long time. At least, not like this. She'd usually be threatening and hell, even killing anyone else.

But Wizard felt like something familiar. Maybe it was the relation to Witches, or their interest in magic.

For a good while, every cookie had feared her. Under the influence of the Beasts, she had no remorse, nothing.

But they were asleep now. This was her. And of course, her heart will always go to Shadow Milk, it's just maybe, just maybe, she could have an actually healthy relationship with someone, without the doomed narrative, or something along the lines of that.

Her expression was basically like this: (minus the blush duhh, platonic guys..)

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[therealwitchhuntau]

He sighed and followed after her, it was half of relief and half to calm his nerves of being.. figured out.

Meanwhile Brave and Strawberry were far ahead, wandering through the halls,

"Wow, who knew witches were so boring! They love this stuff.."

Brave groaned as he observed the classes and their.. smart people things. Strawberry nodded, not finding anything interesting in this place.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia was walking through the halls, she needed to be quiet. Well, to a certain extent. She began to quietly sing just for funsies.

"She was walking aroundd with a loaded shotgun.."

Yeah I'm not writing all of that. But in an empty hallway, quiet is certainly loud.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave whipped his head around hearing her voice echoe through, the weird song, kinda creepy...

"Ew.. what is she doing..?"

He muttered to himself, pulling Strawberry with him to another hall, trying to find out where she was.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Ready to fire me a hot one, she went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart.."

Wizard following her didn't go unnoticed. She didn't even look back.

"You don't need a hand or anything? They're pretty long hallways."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"No. I'm good."

He huffed, hovering close to her on his staff, not really wanting to make himself look pathetic.

But he was tiny, so he did.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Suit yourself, weirdo."

...

"...You sure sure?"

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

More like obsession.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[therealwitchhuntau]

He sighed and followed after her, it was half of relief and half to calm his nerves of being.. figured out.

Meanwhile Brave and Strawberry were far ahead, wandering through the halls,

"Wow, who knew witches were so boring! They love this stuff.."

Brave groaned as he observed the classes and their.. smart people things. Strawberry nodded, not finding anything interesting in this place.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia was walking through the halls, she needed to be quiet. Well, to a certain extent. She began to quietly sing just for funsies.

"She was walking aroundd with a loaded shotgun.."

Yeah I'm not writing all of that. But in an empty hallway, quiet is certainly loud.

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ohhh what's the difference!!"

He tried to play dumb with her, but it was clear he was much smarter than that.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Don't play dumb. You're smarter than that."

"..I would threaten you too, but honestly I think your cult might've normalized you with it."

She let out some stupid ahh giggle, she might be insane, just a hunch.

"I'm gonna make sure those idiots aren't.. y'know, killing someone, cuz that would suck."

She got up and opened her front door, leaving it slightly ajar.

[witchhunt-au]

Ding dong, silly little message in your mailbox.

"Yo. There's a pipe bomb in the mailbox you just took this letter out of. Only I can defuse it, by the way. Heh."

The letter read.

- Do I even need to tag?

"Sick."

Brave hummed as he turned over to Wizard,

"Pipe bomb."

He casually stated, passing him the letter so he could read it himself.

"For a moment I thought you were being a jest... since when could you read?"

He groaned, holding up the paper and passing it back to him, Brave was offended, but shrugged it off, taking the note back.

Strawberry was sitting on the floor in the corner, playing on her gameberry, as she does. Minding her own business.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Tiredness quickly, almost instantly dissapeared the second she heard a very familiar, and annoying voice.

She didn't move. But the way her head perked up...

Yeah, she knew.

"Who's there."

She asked, already knowing damn well who was there. She just asked to look like she knew less.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave stared towards her direction, jaw dropping as he saw the witch.

Usually, it’s dark and he could barely make out what they were, but here, he could see the details. Made her more… humane? Whatever.

“Holy Shit.”

He quickly shut up and pushed the other two towards the shadows, instinct kicking in.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

The living room had been dimly lit, since it was roughly 10 PM. By dimly lit, I mean nightlights that gave the room a little more to it.

Her long, slightly tangled hair got in her face from looking down, which she quickly brushed aside.

"You know, I would actually try and kill you guys right now, but I am genuinely too tired for this."

[therealwitchhuntau]

”Well, we’re gonna kill you first…”

Brave whispered, not too well, because he sounded loud still. Wizard put his hand over Brave’s mouth, shutting him up.

But he wasn’t really focused on the kill anymore, his mind started getting ideas..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You already know I'm immortal."

"You guys just don't stop, huh."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we'll find a way to kill you!"

Brave insisted, grinning as he pulled down Wizard's hand and pointed a blade up at her.

"I'll find a way!!"

He added, stepping forward to insult her once more, ready to stab her, and actually succeed this time.

Wizard snapped out of his thoughts, staring at Amelia and then Brave, he knew things were going to get messy... but what exactly can he do about that?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...God, you're stupid."

She looked almost bored. Uh, rude!!!

[therealwitchhuntau]

He growled and stepped back, tapping Wizard's shoulder and doing one or two hand movements before running forward, Wizard huffed and set up a portal, he zipped through it, reappearing round her throat and slashing through it,

Wizard panicked, why was he panicking, but anyways, he shot towards the general direction and it hit Brave, he fell back and landed right into a portal, then fell onto the ground besides them.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR-?"

"SHUT UP! W-WHAT'S THE POINT IF SHE'S IMMORTAL?"

Perfect excuse honestly... for whatever he was feeling.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She grit her teeth, but not because she was in pain. Well, she was, but..yeah.

"Rude. But then again, I can't seem to expect anything more from you."

She sat there, relaxed. It's like she's been through this a million times.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Don't you have like a anti-immortality spell, or like, something??"

Brave insisted, shaking Wizard around angrily, he really did wanna kill this lady somehow after all.

Wizard sighed and shook his head,

"Not that I know of... but I'm certain there's got to be a way to get past it... just, let's not..."

He tried to figure out what to tell this antsy, feral, murderous boy that would stop him from trying to kill the currently unkillable.

Strawberry tilted her head at his strange behaviour, wondering what was going through his head...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She frog blinked.

"I'll wait for you to stop trying, don't worry."

It wasn't even mocking, at this point she just felt slightly bad. Slightly.

[therealwitchhuntau]

Brave growled and began lunging towards her once more, Wizard pulled him back,

"Stop!! That's enough! We're just going to find a way.. to kill her."

Wizard huffed, glancing to the side with.. hesitance? Was that hesitance. Brave rolled his eyes and tossed his blades to the ground,

"And why can't we just go on a stabbing spree?"

"Because, it's never going to work."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Or,"

She sighed.

"You just don't try to kill me? That works very well too."

"And, like, I haven't actually done anything to you so far. Not as Silver Cherry, not as me. So like, take a chill pill, hm?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Yeah but you've eaten cookies, and terrorized cookies? That's shitty to me."

Brave huffed and sat down next to his blade, like a child throwing a fit. Wizard hummed in thought, glancing up and down between Amelia and Brave.

"Maybe.. I can look in a library, if this is a dormitory than that means this is a community of sorts, no?"

Brave and Strawberry shrugged, idiots.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"The library here lacks spell books, but it has other information, I guess. Unless you want very taboo and forbidden magic, then that's on that bookcase over there."

"...And also, don't hate the girl, just hate the crime!"

(oh! Forgive me lord oh! I'm a good girl!! /Ref)

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh, thank you.."

He hopped on his staff and hovering over to the bookshelf and skimming through the book spines,

Brave raised a brow,

"Dude, those are huge! You're gonna fucking die."

He blankly stated, staring as Wizard grabbed one of the books, distributing the majority of the weight on the edge of his staff as the weight brought him down.

It seems he's used to it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Basically, Amelia didn't give a crap. As long as they weren't bugging her, she was honestly...okay with them being here. She might be a literal terrorist, but she's not an asshole.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, we're going to explore, see if there's anymore witches to kill."

Brave staggered to his feet, bored. He dragged Strawberry along with him, trying to push that bigass door open.

"Alright, don't die."

He dismissed them, waving his hand away as he flipped through the pages.

They groaned, now he's stuck his face in a book, he's never gonna leave it.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Don't mistake Guardians for Witches, or else you might cause a commotion accidentally. Please die."

She also dismissed Brave.

[therealwitchhuntau]

They finally got the door open and slipped through the crack, deliberately ignoring her warning.

And then there was two.

Wizard sensed they were gone and got up, looked over at Amelia and huffed,

"How do you do it?"

He suddenly asked, crossing his arms with a huff.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Amelia had visibly shuddered in relief after Brave left. She did not like him in the slightest.

However, when she heard Wizard's question, she became relaxed and confused.

"Do what?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Shift between human and cookie?"

He asked again, hovering up closer to her. Maybe that's why he didn't want her dead yet, because he really wanted to know.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"... Uhhhhhhhhhhh...."

...

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know. I probably did some random spell like 3 years ago without even realizing it and just thought it was always there."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"There's a spell for that?!"

He asked, eyes widening with a desire,

"You have to show me, you just have to!!"

He insisted, trying very hard to stay professional or something, I dunno..

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

She shrugged like she was confused.

"Dude, I don't know why I can do it. Hell, I don't even know ho-..."

"..."

She suddenly paused for a moment, actually thinking it over.

"...Ohhhhhh...Ok, I think, I think it's because Shadow can shape shift too. If he can, I can. Maybe? I dunno.."

She got suspicious, though.

"..Why do you want it, anyway?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He froze up, looking away and adjusting his hat,

"I-I believe it'd be very.. useful!"

He reasoned, toying with his brooche a bit, he doesn't like looking nervous like this.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Useful?"

She scoffed.

"Trust me, attempting to become human is..Stupid, and that's still an understatement. You'll have to deal with..I think for you, high school, then later on taxes, and no one likes taxes, then, hm..oh yeah, a JOB...and if you don't have a job then you have to become the Vegas mole people."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I don't need that, but thank you for the warning.."

He sighed, remembering how things were,

"I've already went through an education anyways."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Oh, okay."

Awkward silence.

"...So you're in a cult?"

[therealwitchhuntau]

He flared up, groaning and leaning back on his staff,

"Why does everyone think it's a cult!!!!"

He exclaimed, dragging his hands down his face in annoyance,

"It is NOT a cult!!"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Heheh- hehehehe- hahahahahahaaaaa-"

She began to giggle, probably out of the fact that whenever you get tired everything becomes funny to you.

But holy HELL that laugh was scary.

No wonder she's feared across all of Earthbread.

"I'm pretty sure it is, buddy- heheh-"

Her shoulders were shaking, eyes closed, but teeth as sharp as knives becoming visible.

"You're even dressed like you're part of one."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"This is religious attire!"

He corrected, slowly backing up from her, clearly intimidated by her sudden mockery of him,

"It's formal and modest, and respectable!"

He added, growing more defensive the longer the laughter went on for.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"That ain't from any religion I've seen, heheh-"

She had to shove the blanket (because yes, couches have blankets sometimes) into her mouth just to shut the hell up, and even then her ass was still laughing.

"But hey, it is respectable, I'll give you that."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well you just haven't been blessed with the glory of my heavenly Mother's."

Wizard insisted, crossing his arms with a hoity-toity huff, he turned away from her as well,

"You wouldn't understand unless you take part in the path to glory."

Dude do you hear yourself???

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

Respectfully what the FAHH is a hoity-toity I'm crying.

"Been there, done that. You think I haven't? Really??"

[therealwitchhuntau]

Hoity-toity refers to the snobbish rich. Yeah.

"What do you mean?"

He asked, not even looking at her,

"You don't know much of them."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

I'm crying British people don't exist

She chuckled, which quickly turned into yet another giggling fit.

"I think I can guess which cult you were in. I think."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I beg your pardon??" He asked once more, looking back and sending her a sharp glare

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Okok, so there's the St. Pastry, and then..Hmm, I don't really remember what it's called, but there was also one with 3 witches as the cult leaders, that was stupid.."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"STUPID?!"

He exclaimed in offense, completely turning to face her now,

"My Heavenly Mother's are NOT stupid!!!"

He was fuming again, gripping the staff extremely hard, his knuckles becoming whiter than his skin already is.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Knew it. To be honest, maybe not stupid, but kind of..like..eeeehhhhh..."

At this point, she thought, he would become snow with how white he was getting.

"I personally didn't like them."

[therealwitchhuntau]

".. You knew them?"

He asked, tilting his head in confusion with a shocked face, flabbergasted.

"If you word it that way it implies you knew them in some sort of manner..?"

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Just once. Didn't really like the vibe, so I joined the St. Pastry...As the deity. It's actually really fun."

[therealwitchhuntau]

He went up to her and grabbed her necklace, tugging it down,

"HOW?!

Oh someone's sounding desperate.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

For just a split second, the closed distance made her almost recoil a bit, as if holding something back, before acting like nothing happened.

"It's, uh..it took a bit. But it worked out in the end!"

[therealwitchhuntau]

"What do you mean it worked out in the end??"

He asked again, probably very jealous at the fact SHE got to meet his heavenly mothers, and not him!?

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!~"

She sung, awkwardly pushing Wizard off her.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Well, unlike you, I have a strong connection with my Mother's, so I would like to know."

He scoffed, hovering back as she pushed him. Since he was much smaller he had to control the momentum given...

"It's not fair you got to meet them face to face, and you disrespect them.."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You sound like you're in love. Are you sure you're ok?"

More like obsession.

....

Some call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behin-

[therealwitchhuntau]

"I'm not in love, I'm devoted."

He corrected in a huff, swatting his hand at her once more, trying to get his compusre back, but ultimately failing, just look at him.

".. Religiously."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I will snap your arm off if you swat at me again, I swear."

"...Same thing."

I'm sure if I sat down and ask you..

[therealwitchhuntau]

He glared when receiving that threat, how rude!

"Ugh, they're not the same."

He retorted with annoyance.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Is too."

...

"Y'know, what's the deal with your boyfriend? He looks like a trauma dump."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"BOYFRIEND??"

He gawked, face red hot now,

"He's not my boyfriend! I would never date a man so stupid!"

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he thinks of all the things about Brave...

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Hun, that's not a man, that's a crackhead. Huuuge difference."

But is she wrong, though.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, whatever, but if you really want to know.."

He cooled down a bit, but still looked very annoyed,

"Gingerbrave is just very.. dedicated to his cause and reasonings against witches. I don't blame him..."

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"Me neither. We suck."

Wow, a witch just agreed with him. Then again, she's probably not in her best mindset.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Ugh, witches are such interesting beings.."

Wizard huffed, glaring at her as if he knew much more about her.

"At least you can accept it."

He added with a snicker, such an attitude from these little guys.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"You have to accept it if you want to become a psychopath that eats cookies, honestly."

Aaand there goes any sort of positive feeling towards her, she was looking at him in a certain way, but it wasn't really obvious as to how.

[therealwitchhuntau]

"You're so stupid... all the same sense of humor too damn it."

He went on, his small, tiny smile falling flat.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"I'll be real for a moment, you should leave at some point, and don't for the love of god check the pantry on your way out when you do."

"...No but seriously, where is that crusty boyfriend of yours."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Wasn't planning to."

He shook huffed before looking towards the door,

"He's probably.. killing someone."

He deduced, knowing Brave very well, it's expected of him.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Uh, that's, uh... that's concerning, at least here. Everyone knows eachother in this place."

[therealwitchhuntau]

"Oh well.. isn't that normal a human thing- I mean witch thing, sense of community.."

He stuttered a bit when he 'slipped up', glancing to the side in hopes she didn't notice.

[ask-the-beast-cookies]

"...Well, here's the problem, 99% of this place have regular humans, not witches. If he were to slip up.."

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.
