As she stands before the big sign board reading what was boldly written on it she couldn't believe her eyes,"the annual dance competition" was boldly written on the sign board but Beatrice still couldn't believe her eyes cos she has always wanted to join since she was just an infant and now finally it's being hosted again and she is now old enough to part take in it, Beatrice was a beautiful girl of 23 years with a light African American skin and thick black curly hair,she has always loved dancing and was incredible good at it but has never been able to show case her talent due to a fatal accident that took the lives of her parents, Beatrice is now forced to live with her uncaring uncle and aunt with their three kids,however Beatrice was given three months to prove that she can make a living for her self else she has to be married to who ever her poor uncaring uncle and aunt chooses.
Beatrice rushes into the sign up line and waits impatiently and excited for her turn with so much happiness as she smiles, finally after hundreds and hundreds of sign ups it finally her turn as she hurrys to the sign up desk,
"name?"the man asks her,
"oh it's Beatrice",she replies,
"no last name?", he asks yet again,
"Kentucky",she answers again,
"alright here your first audition pass but you'd have to have a partner if you wanna make it to the finals talk more if winning", the man advises,
"am an amazing solo act I can do without a partner,so please keep your advice to your self ,thank you", Beatrice replies rudely as she snatches the pass from the man and leaves the sign up desk.
On her way out of the door she can see a few dance groups that has already started practicing their dance movies,
"they're really good, very good I sure I can beat them,yeah yeah I can,am good ,am great ,am awesome....mmmm,or maybe I do need a partner " Beatrice says to herself with a worried look on her face , "but where am I gonna find a partner ",
Beatrice kept asking herself as she makes her ways to the river banks to think on getting there she seats on a rock, devastated and angry she yells out in anger picks up big rock and throws into the water as it causes a huge splash,
"hey what it young lady am trying to enjoy the calm water", a voice said as Beatrice turns around to see a witch with pail blue skin and grey hair sitting across her,
"who are you?", Beatrice asks the witch,
"none of your business small mortal", she replies Beatrice,
"you're a witch aren't you?", Beatrice asks once again,
"and you're supposed to be scared and afraid that you'd run for your dear life",the witch replies
"my life is that dear to me at all"
"well I have never heard anyone say that before, what's wrong?" the witch asks Beatrice out of pity
"none of your business", Beatrice answers sarcastically
"hahahhahhahahahaha, nice one!haha",the witch laughed out aloud as Beatrice's frown face brightens up with a little smirk
"listen oh small mortal whatever be the problem you shouldn't come out here on your own or give up easily had it been you encountered a not so nice witch, you would be dead by now,am sure that all you need to solve your problem is to go home think it through after having a good nights rest", the witch comforted Beatrice
"it's not that easy,am not like you that can do anything they want cause you have powers", Beatrice replied
"See...now that's where you're wrong,my powers can't help me,it can only help others,that's why the only time that mortals like you remember witches like me is when you need special help, you mortal just want to exploit us",the witch explains
"not all of us is like that, you know,but it's sad to hear that", Beatrice replies with sympathy for the witch
"mmmmm..... I'll believe it when I see it" the witch replies
"why didn't attack me or kill me?" Beatrice asked
"well I can sense you've been hurt by this world............, the witch replies as Beatrice bends her head looking sad "and mostly because you mortals taste like dino nuggets" the witch said
"dino nuggets?????" Beatrice asked surprised and confused
"yeah,dino nuggets...,have you ever had dino nuggets before?" the witch asked
"n...n.. no"
"well... lucky you, don't try em they taste like your kind and believe me your kind don't taste good" the witch explained even more which made Beatrice to laugh out really loud with her eyes closed
"hey!!, are you ok?" a voice asked Beatrice from behind her
"me?" Beatrice asked as she opened her eyes to discover that the witch wasn't there anymore
"are you ok?" the hunter asked again
"yeah am fine,I'll go now" Beatrice said as she hurriedly leaves the river bank and makes her way home.
by the time she gets home her uncle's wife that already locked the doors and gone to bed, Beatrice climbed into her bedroom through a tree that near her bedroom window,as she silently made her way to her bed,while lying down she thought about everything the witch had said to her while thinking she finally fell asleep.
