Chapter 15

—Recap—

"So you're telling me," Josie said slowly trying to comprehend the new information, "You aren't their daughter?"

"No," I muttered in a small voice, "I'm not."

"How did this happen?"

"I don't know," I muttered running a hand through my hair.

"Well did you find out anything else?" Josie asked.

"Yes," I replied in a strained voice, "The person who left me there was my mother. She did it to protect me, apparently. When the witch found out who that woman was, she was terrified beyond belief. She refused to give us anymore information on her. All she said was that the woman is a very, very old witch. She's an ancient. And she's immortal. And if she was scared for my life so much that she had to send me away from her, then we have to worry. She told us to not research on her. Or things might get nasty."

"Immortal?" Josie asked, astounded. "But that's impossible. No one is immortal."

"I know." I nodded, "But apparently, she was. Or is. I don't know."
