Short on Money; Sabratina's arrival
Topic Started: Oct 1 2006, 09:00 PM (490 Views)
Sabratina
Little Witch of the South west
It is late in the day and Sabratina slowly walks up the street to a place she was directed. A coven of witches. Another told her that she can take shelter here.

Sabratina is a pretty young lady, though some of her features are hard to tell. When one travels a long way, dirt seems to stick. Her hair, though normally blonde, appears to be dirty blonde for the dirt. Her green emeralds of eyes seem to shine out dispite the dirt on her face. Her clothes are a simple black jeans and off the shoulder black shirt of a peasant style. Her shoes are a knee high black boots, but dirty as well. Around her neck is something she has tried her best to keep clean, a solid silver tricetra. On her person in a pack she carries is a black bound book, some more jewlery of the witch, and her two anthame that she keeps in a side pocket of the bag. She also has some clothes in the bag.

She stops and looks at the covent house with tired eyes. Her money is down. She is a mess and she needs sleep. Maybe they will take her in, being that she too is a witch and will let her clean up and rest.

Sabratina drags herself inside the old building and looks around. "Um, hello?"

An older woman in her mid thirties notices Sabratina's arrival and goes to her. "May I help you?" She is a dark haired woman with dark brown eyes, her attire is that of a robe. Sabratina remembers her grandmother wearing one alot, calling her a priestess of the arts.

Sabratina bows her head out of respect. She doesn't want to rock any boats or up set any customs. "A fellow witch that has been on a long pilgrimage from her home to here. I was told by a lady on the street that I could take shelter here, clean up, and perhaps rest. My name is Sabratina Roma."

The woman takes hold of the necklace that Sabratina wears and nods. She then turns it over to see an inscription and reads, "'To my grandaughter, may you inheret the Covent of the Southern Moon.' You are of a southern branch. I heard they were wiped out."

"They came pretty close. I had left an hour before the main house was raided. That was three years ago."

The woman releases the pendant and looks into Sabratina's eyes. After a moment of contimplation, she smiles. "Welcome to our house, wondering sister. My name is Cora. Come, lets get you cleaned up." She begins to guide Sabratina to a staircase going up to some living quarters.

Sabratina lets her, too tired to complain or argue. Not that she would want to.

The two women end up in a living quarters room up stairs. It is a simple small room with a bed, four walls, a dresser, and a small bathroom to one side. The decore is pretty basic. Sabratina doesn't mind, all she wants is to take a shower and see about bed.

The woman Cora stays around long enough for Sabratina to get undressed and to the shower and then takes her soiled clothes and leaves. Sabratina takes a long hot shower, scrubbing off all dirt, mud and sludge that she was forced to endure. Slowly her hair returns to it's blonde color and her features become more visible. As she steps out of the shower, she finds two towels waiting and she greatfully uses them both. She looks in the mirror and smiles. "Hello self."

Sabratina returns to the room to see Cora waiting for her. She had brought Sabratiina a food tray and something to drink. "Thanks for everything, Lady Cora."

"It is quite alright. You just relax and rest up. And I must say, you are a pretty young lady when you are all cleaned up. Good night." Cora leaves the room.

The wondering witch searches the dresser and finds a brush that she takes to her hair. Then Sabratina changes into a black colored gown and eats a little of the dinner Cora brought her. Afterwards, she pulls back the covers and falls into bed. "I think I could live here, if they let me." Sabratina nods off to sleep.

Nixie had been at the coven dropping off some supplies that she had delivered from her shop " Purple Haze" when she heard the other witches that graced the coven talking about a strange girl that had appeared the night before out of no where, apparently she was from an old family of witches. Nixie left the room she was in and went to see the girl that everyone had been talking about, she was curiouse, there weren't many unexpected visitors to their coven.

She headed to the woman's room after grabbing a few odds and ends of things she had been dropping off, and some warm cinommon rolls and coffee for two that she had placed on a tray.

Nixie knocked on the door and waited for an answer holding the tray and a small bag of parcells.

Sabratina has been awake for the last hour and has already gotten dressed. She definatly appreciates the fact that they took her in without questioning too much. She doesn't like recalling that night. Though she wasn't right there as it happened, who could not see the smoke on the horizan or the chants of "Die witch die". All she sould do was leave. Sabratina back packed across the country ever since.

With the knock on the door, Sabratina comes back to reality. She gets up and opens the door. Taking a small chance for her, but these northern sisters were nice to her last night. They wouldn't change that quick, would they?

Sabratina lets the lady in, especially since she has breakfast with her. She is definatly in acceptance of that. "Um hi. I'm Sabratina Roma."

This lady seemed to be one of the covent here, but she won't assume that. She is a brown haired young woman, and seems to know her way around.

Nixie looked at the beautiful young blonde woman with interest as she opened the door to her room. She pushed past her setting the tray on a nearby table and saying.

" Hello dear, I heard you had come to us and I had to meet you. My name is Nixie, I don't stay here, but I may as well with how often i'm around. Also I hope a local wiccan store if you ever need anything." She said slightly hyper and extending her hand to the girl to shake.

" I brought some cinamon rolls and coffee for us if you would like some." Nixie probably seemed overly friendly, but that was just how she was.

Sabratina isn't used to people being friendly, but this covent did agree to take her in so she will try to relax with it. She takes Nixie's extended hand and shakes hands. Sabratina is a bit stunned at how easily she already seems to be making friends since she has gotten to town.

"I would definatly like the coffee and cinamon rolls, I haven't eatten that much since my money began to run out for my stay in Chicago. Everyone around here has been really nice thus far. Thank you for the breakfast."

She has a seat on the bed near the table and takes a bite out of one of the cinamon role, "These are good." She takes a drink of the coffee.

Sabratina looks her way, "You own a Wicca shop you say? Do you need any extra hands around the shop? I can use a job."

Nixie had stopped looking for people to hire, the shop was rather quiet yet she still made a comfortable living. But now that she thought about it she could use an extra hand around the house. And there would be a much better chance of the other witches in the coven letting her live their if she worked for Nixie. So everyone won in the end.

" You know I think I could use some help around the shop, how advanced are you in your knowledge of the craft? She asked grabbing on of the cinnamon rolls and taking a dainty bite. She mixed some cream and sugar in her coffe, really she added a little cream to a cup of sugar, she really liked sweet stuff except when it came to her alcahol.

" I'm pretty sure that the women here will let you live in the covanent. Of course you'll have rotating chores, everyone does there part here, and things run pretty smooth." She said sipping the hot coffee carefully before taking another bite of her cinnamon roll.

This Nixie has some interesting questions. As usual, Sabratina chooses her words carefully before she attempts to speak. "My family died three years ago. My family being my covent. They never harmed anyone, but people fear what they don't understand. All of them burned at the stake and all I could do was watch. Then I was a little more then a beginner. I went from there to New Orleans for awhile and learned quite a lot in the dark arts. I also learned a lot of the white arts from another girl I was traveling with for awhile. She was attacked and killed by a warewolf in Kansas. I'm not a preistess level, and I don't know what you would call ranks here. But I would be a just under one. I guess, never gave it alot of thought."

She takes another bite of her cinnimon roll and chews it, "I can cast spells. I know about the Sabbats and Rituals and curses. If I wanted to, I could exercise a spirit that is haunting a house. Very good at astrel walking. Meditation too, but you can't do too much of that outside anymore." She pulls a pair of silver anthame out of her bag and shows Nixie, "One of these was always mine. The other belonged to the girl who died in Kansas. Her name was Tashee. I can also do elemental things too. Charms, herbocology, even a little voodoo."

After a sip of coffee, Sabratina continues, "How is that for a resume." She realizes that she has added sarcastum to the last statement. But the feeling she gets from Nixie is that she would understand that. Sabratina can't trust just any body.

"As to the chores for room and board, I don't mind."

She drank more of her coffee while she listened to the girl, feeling bad for her, but also thinking that the events had probably turned her into a very strong woman.

" Well your resumee certainly seems to suit well, can you start tomarrow?" She asked finishing her cinamon roll.


(( Sorry so short))

Sabratina nods, "Tomorrow it is." She pops the last bite of her cinnimon roll and downs the last of her coffee. "That allows me to do some exploring in the meantime." She smiles for a change. Not much makes her smile anymore which is odd for most but not Sabratina.

Before getting up, she shoves the two anthame into each boot that she wears, into the two holsters that she had sewn inside of them. She can use them as weapons but knows better to just flaunt them. "I am going to go explore awhile. See you."

Nixie finished her coffee as the girl said she was going to go explore the city a bit before coming in to work tomarrow. Their certainly was a lot to explore, she was sure the girl would have fun.

" Sounds good, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself. Be careful not to get lost though, It's a big city, I'll see you at noon tomarrow then." She said she said standing and grabbing the tray with the empty cups on it. She made her way to the door and opened it.

" By Sabratina." and she walked out closing the door behind her.
