20. The witch

"You're not a sorcerer?" I ask with surprise "But Martha said you are, and she would never lie to me!"

"Yes, but my young cousin is always getting things mixed up. I'm a witch, not a sorcerer. There's a difference between the two

"Oh, you're a witch!? - Wait, did you just say your young cousin? That must be a slip of tongue, you meant to say older cousin, didn't you?"

She chuckles

"What do you think? Am I the older or younger cousin?"

"Isn't that obvious enough?"

"Yes, it is. It must have been a slip of tongue then"

It must have been a slip of tongue or it is a slip of tongue? I wonder. She certainly sounds like she's teasing me which is surprising since I've never heard anyone say good things about witches. I heard they make use of magic or supernatural powers to harm or manipulate others into doing their will.

"I'm sorry but aren't witches supposed to be... You know... I thought witches are evil! I heard they sacrifice innocent people especially kids for their own wicked deeds
