Chapter 151
Penny was confused, her mind trying to reel in with what she understood and she was still trying to process around her . She wondered if it was possible . When her eyes met Damien's questioning ones, she asked him, "Could you tell me what I told you? About going to the doctor's house . . . "
Damien's eyes tried to gauge what was going on but nonetheless he went to iterate what he had heard from her, "You said you had been to the doctor's house on foot as there was a riot taking place on the main road . Taking a deviation before meeting him . After some time you did mention that you bought the man to the house but it had been too late . Your mother's health was quickly deteriorating . What happened, Penelope? Speak," he demanded looking at her . There was a heap of confusion that filled up her eyes .
"If my mother is alive . Is she a witch like me?" asked Penny without answering what Damien was asking . Damien's mouth twisted, taking in a deep breath he released to say,
"Yes," Penny nodded her head . Not because she understood what was being told but she was still working on understanding why her mother would die to come back again . If she were a witch along with her father, why had she failed to mention it to her? Was it not important to know who she was or what she was to be precise . It felt as if she had been living a life of lie where she had no clue, "But she isn't the same as you," her eyes looked up at him with a frown .
"What do you mean?" her heart started to thud back .
"I don't know how far it is true but there's rumored lore which hasn't been proven until now . When a white witch dies to reincarnate herself, her body decomposes like any other body that has to decay to turn one with the land she had stepped on to . But this doesn't hold the same for the black witch . When the black witch dies, her body starts to decay and if it is the reincarnation the body doesn't decay one bit because they make use of the same body . "
" . . . she's a black witch," Penny finally came down to the conclusion . Her body suddenly turning cold as if someone had thrown a bucket of water on her .
Damien hadn't planned to tell her this early . After all, she was still learning things around her but keeping it as a secret wasn't going to benefit anyone . Not to him, not to her . The sooner the information to be out in the air the better it was . With Penny's mother who was a black witch and her father who was a white witch, things had truly taken to another turn but there was something more to the story right now .
Penny, on the other hand, wondered what to do . She had the least expectation of her parents being part of the creatures who people despised on a daily basis . She herself had turned out to be a white witch which she thought was the most she could be shocked but with her mother being a black witch, she didn't know what to conclude the life she had lived so far .
"What if the lore is false and untrue . Somethings are only made up to change the course of her person's mind . "
"You don't mean to say the white witches are on the wrong . That would be a plot twist in the history of the witches," he commented to see her shake her head .
"No, that is not what I mean . . . " the person she had loved and whom she had been loved back, her mother who had passed away, how could she be a black witch? Black witches were not known to be good . Throughout the years, it was mentioned over and over again in the history of books on how vile the black witches were . Hunting, killing, cutting people for their own use of the potions and the lack of understanding on how to co-exist with the others . Penny then realized there was Bathsheba who was helping her or helping only because of Damien, "My mother was a good woman . "
Damien didn't know if the girl was trying to assure him or assure herself after finding out about her mother . Not being subtle in the slightest, he said,
"Black witches are not to be trusted . You might be a good actress with chiseling the skill over the months but they, the black witches are born to be sweet talkers to get what they want," he saw Penny get upset over his words .
She went to defend, "You do not know my mother, Master Damien . If you haven't met her you shouldn't be so quick to judge . "
"You will be surprised to know the amount of time I have been right . Truth is bitter and it hurts but it is what it is . You cannot change it . "
