- One
- too
- many.
- And
- I
- couldn't
- remember
- last
- night,
- either.
- Both
- unlikely
- for
- a
- witch.But
- my
- powers
- were
- still
- here.
- Well,
- sort
- of.And
- that's
- all
- I
- remembered.Not
- my
- name,
- not
- how
- I
- got
- dressed
- (or
- un-dressed)
- like
- this.
- Or
- where
- I
- was.Helluva
- hangover,
- especially
- for
- a
- witch.The
- problem
- was
- that
- I
- didn't
- remember
- anything
- before
- I
- woke
- up.
- Nothing.
- No
- childhood,
- no
- witch
- training,
- nothing.Not
- even
- my
- own
- name.I'd
- been
- spelled
- but
- good.
- Now
- I
- had
- to
- figure
- out
- if
- I
- was
- still
- in
- danger...(Contains
- cliffhangers...)Excerpt:I
- hate
- the
- taste
- of
- mixed
- drinks.
- Especially
- the
- second
- time.After
- I'd
- used
- the
- toilet,
- several
- times,
- and
- then
- the
- sink
- to
- clean
- me
- and
- everything
- else
- up
- in
- that
- bathroom,
- I
- tried
- to
- again
- remember
- anything
- about
- last
- night.Or
- remember
- anything
- about
- any
- time
- before
- I
- woke
- up.Even
- my
- own
- name
- would
- be
- nice.Nothing.I
- studied
- myself
- in
- the
- mirror.
- Who
- was
- that
- stranger
- looking
- back
- at
- me?At
- least
- there
- were
- enough
- cosmetics
- in
- that
- bathroom
- so
- I
- could
- touch
- up
- what
- I
- was
- wearing.
- And
- not
- look
- as
- bad
- as
- I
- feel.
- But
- looking
- wasn't
- remembering.Thankfully,
- my
- short,
- one-piece
- shimmery
- black
- thing
- I
- was
- wearing
- hadn't
- wound
- up
- any
- worse
- than
- being
- slept
- in.
- Now
- it's
- time
- to
- find
- a
- purse
- around
- here
- and
- hoped
- it
- had
- a
- photo
- ID
- that
- looked
- like
- my
- reflection.When
- I
- opened
- the
- bathroom
- door
- into
- the
- bedroom,
- I
- found
- another
- surprise
- waiting
- for
- me.Three
- foot
- tall,
- dressed
- in
- a
- brown
- tunic,
- mustard-colored
- pantaloons,
- and
- curly-toed
- brown
- shoes.
- Pointy
- ears
- and
- cute."Fairy,
- gnome,
- or
- dwarf?"
- I
- asked
- the
- creature."Nymph.
- By
- the
- name
- of
- Trimble.""Well,
- I
- don't
- recall
- ever
- meeting
- a
- nymph
- before."
- Then
- I
- frowned.
- "Of
- course,
- right
- now
- I
- don't
- remember
- anything.""Let
- me
- guess:
- you
- woke
- up
- here
- and
- (sniff)
- by
- the
- smell
- in
- the
- room,
- you
- had
- quite
- a
- party
- last
- night.
- But
- you
- don't
- know
- your
- name
- or
- anything,
- other
- than
- you
- know
- some
- witchcraft
- -
- just
- not
- enough
- to
- do
- anything
- much
- with."My
- mouth
- dropped
- open,
- and
- I
- closed
- it.
- I'm
- sure
- my
- breath
- wasn't
- any
- good
- to
- smell,
- either.
- But
- Trimble
- was
- across
- the
- room,
- so
- that
- was
- a
- personal
- comment,
- noting
- that
- my
- hygiene
- was
- pushing
- up
- the
- list
- of
- need-to-do-next's."How
- do
- you
- know
- all
- that
- about
- me,
- and
- how
- did
- you
- find
- me?"He
- patted
- the
- bed
- spread
- next
- to
- him.
- "Come,
- sit
- down.
- You
- may
- want
- to
- before
- I
- finish
- telling
- my
- story."So
- I
- did
- sit
- on
- that
- bed,
- but
- out
- of
- his
- arm's
- reach.
- Then
- he
- started
- rattling
- off
- his
- recent
- events...Scroll
