Title: An Angel in Disguise...contd.
'Who are you?” she asked. She had a soft voice with a note of apprehension in it. 'Do...do you live here?' she continued. 'Yes' he didn't know what else to say to her. He was so shocked to find her there. Suddenly he found his voice and said, 'Are you 'she'?'
To his surprise, she laughed. It was a sweet, gentle sort of laughter. 'Are you scared of me?' she asked. Her question was more surprising than her behaviour so far! 'Scared? Why should I be scared of you?'
'It's because...uh...don't you know?' she said uncertainly.
'Know what?' he asked.
'I-I know magic,” she said.
'You do, do you?' he asked.
'I can see you don't believe me. It's funny! When I lied to the others, they immediately thought I might know magic and here when I'm telling you the truth, you don't believe me!'
'Why are the villagers after you? Did you do something wrong?'
'No! But one funny looking man saw me and immediately asked where I'd come from. I supposed he knew everyone around this village well or he'd have thought I was just the milkman's daughter or something. But I tried anyway. I told him I was the milkman's niece. I was right in my supposition. He didn't believe me and spread the rumour that I'm a witch,' she said.
'Are you really a witch? Or are you playing along the rumour?' he asked eyeing her carefully.
'Of course I'm a witch. It's strange how that man came to the right conclusion! For all he knows I could be a lost girl from another village or a thief, even!' she retorted. Then she said, “I’m really very tired, Sir. I know you wouldn't turn me over to them. I knew from the first time I saw you. That's why I didn't mind telling you the truth. Please could I stay here just for the night? I would be ever so grateful!'
It took a while for the old man to answer. No one had called him 'sir'. At least not in his old age. He made a quick look-over. He noticed that she was a no-nonsense girl, sweet, adorable but straightforward. Not the type who would lie.
