Thorn

The witch sighed when she heard what Kagome said and seeing the distrustful look on her face she knew this would not go to well. With a sigh she looked Kagome in the eye, “Can we sit somewhere Lady Kagome I have come to speak with you about the curse.”

Kagome’s eyes widened abnormally large as she nodded her head quickly, “Follow me and we will speak in my sitting room.”

The witch nodded her head and followed Kagome down the halls to her private sitting room. Once there Kagome stepped inside and once the witch was inside she shut the door behind her.

Once they were seated Kagome looked at the witch expectantly.  “Why now why after so long would you finally come and speak with me about the curse?”

The witch looked at Kagome and saw the curiosity in her eyes and knew it had to be done. She had to tell her why the curse was placed on her family.

With a sigh she began as she watched Kagome’s reaction to everything she said. “You are approaching your eighteenth year Lady Kagome. That is why I have come to speak with you. I have become old and am tired of holding this curse over your family. I cannot simply remove it only you can break it.”

Kagome’s eyes widened once more, “Only I can break the curse. Why is it only me that can break it?”

The witch looked at Kagome with sadness shining in her eyes, “The reason you are the only one that can break it is because it was set in motion because of you.”

Kagome gasped in shock as she shook her head, “It was cast because of me but why what did I ever do to cause something like this to happen?” She did not understand her mother always told her it was because her father was rude and treated the witch like dirt.

The witch shook her head and then looked at Kagome once more, “What do you know of the curse?”

Kagome told her what she had been told about the curse.  The witch shook her head with a scowl firmly in place. “That is not true Lady Kagome. Have you ever wondered why there are no roses in or around the whole kingdom?”

Kagome thought about it for a moment and she realized the witch was correct there were no roses in the whole kingdom. Out of curiously she asked, “Now that you mention it I do wonder why.”

The witch smiled softy at her, “All roses have thorns my dear.”
