Lil Night 1

Night looked around quietly, being as quiet as she could with her little footsteps. She snuck down the hall and toward the steps, she could hide in the basement if she could make it down there. She held her breath not wanting to make a single sound and went for it.

"Ding ding." Her little bell went. Uh oh.. she felt her little body get snatched up.

"And where do you think you're off to in such a hurry?" The voice teased and carried the squirming girl back up the hall. Night bit her tongue. Curses..

"I asked you a question, its rude to ignore me Nightshade." Night winced. It was rude, she didn't want to be rude but she didn't really wanna talk either! She took a deep breathe. 

"I waz goin to the basseement." The female gave her a questioning look and carried her into her room. 

"Now, there isn't time for that. You should be getting ready for your assesment." She walked over to the little vanity and sat the child down. Night bit her tongue as her mother gently her hair back as she ran a brush through it. 

"Um.. Mommy?" Night asked nervously. 

Minerva glanced at her daughter slightly as she brushed. "Yes?" Night put her tiny hands in her lap. "I.. I don't wanna take the assesment." Minerva stopped for a moment giving a pause of silence. 

Before finally. "Why not?" Night stared down at her hands.. shes disappointed in me. She stayed quiet. 

"Nightshade. Why?" She demanded. Night whimpered. "I.. I don't wanna be made fun of. Wh-what if I fail, or the other kids hate me.. Everyone calls us weird Mommy.. what if they don't even give me my wand." 

Minerva was quiet for a moment. Who had messed with her children, those she'd caught were already dealt with. So who had she missed? "Night. It won't happen."

"But what if it does!" The child whined. Minerva shook her head and resumed brushing gently. "It won't." She affirmed. "You are my daughter, and Mael is my son. Your witch blood demands you the right to practice magic. You will have your wand, and you will pass that test." 

Night clenched her little fists. "But what if I don't mother! Wh-what if I fail.." Minerva gathered her hair into a curly ponytail and began to tie it with the ribbon.

"You won't."

"But mommy what if I do!"

"Then you will retake it."

Night covered her face. "But I'll make you sad mommy." Minerva took a hand away from her face and lifted her chin. Kneeling in front of her. 

"I won't be sad, not if you try your best. If it takes a hundred tries, then it takes a hundred. And each time I will be here to help you study untill you get it right." Night was forced to look up at her.

"E-even if I'm a bad witch?" Minerva nodded. "Even if you're the worst witch in existence. We'll keep trying." 

"Promise?"

Minerva nodded. "I promise. Now no more frowning, I want a smile on this face for your picture. I want one of the moment you get your wand!" She smiles and kisses her forehead, pinning her bangs back behind her ears.

Night smiled. "But my teef mommy. Dey scare people." Minerva made a goofy face. "Do I look scared?" Night giggled. "N-no mommy."

"See? Not scary. Your smile is beautiful baby girl."

"You really think so?"

"I know so." She boops nights little nose. "Now come along, we need to find Maelstrom and get him ready as well." 

Night takes a look in the vanity mirror. She smiled wider. Mommy always made her feel pretty. She nodded. "Ooo, can we match dress?" Minerva laughed.

"Oh no, boys don't wear dresses Night. Im sure he wont appreciate that."

Night pouts. "But we would match." Minerva pokes her side lightly till she giggled. "Well, you'll have to settle for matching colors."

Night wagged her tail slightly excited. "Otay." She took her mothers hand and slid off the stool. Minerva started leading her out.

Night looked up at her. "Hey mommy?"

"Yes?"

"You won't ever leave us.....right?" 

"No, I could never."

Night kept a grip on her Hand

 "Mommy?"

"Yes Night?" 

"I love you." She smiles and hugs her mothers hand.
