Connor was bored the day that Owen had the great idea to find his mother. He hoped she could help with his grief of losing his dad. Own was excited he had been doing reacherach and finally found her living on a nearby residence. Connor was on the other hand not excited at all. He had a bad feeling about the entire thing and was lounging around. Owen sighed when he saw Connors face and curled up next to him sighing.

“Do you really not want to go?” Owen asked connor shook his head and owen sighed and snuggled deeper into connors armes and sighed saddened.

“I’ll go tho… for you” Owen smiled looking at him looking at connor with real happiness he hadn't had since his father died. Connor couldn't help but smile two. After a little bit Owen had decided he was ready to go Connor sighed and rolled his eyes. Owen looked at him and smiled reassuringly. A few hours later they were at her door Owen rang the doorbell and a middle aged women opened the door looking at them in confusion. Then upon seeing Owen she smiled and let them inside Connor looked uneasy before he stepped inside. Owen on the other hand was excited and was practically bouncing on the walls with Joy. The woman the other hand sent him a scowl before putting on the cheesiest smile and offered them tea TEA really that's what you bring to the table. He sighed and kindly accepted she shot him a look that clearly meant not you. Connor rolled his eyes. How could Owen not see this? He looked sideways at Owen and smiled this was not missed by the woman who glowered at him while stirring Owens tea. She became even angrier when Owen offered his tea to Connor who took a sip and put his arm around Owen who smiled and moved closer. She moved over to them and promptly sat between them forcefully moving Connor onto the floor. Then smiling at Owen who was checking to see of Connor had any injuries. Connor excused himself and left. He went to the nearby hall and eavesdropped almost Gagging at the voice she used to talk it was to sweet but it was also dripping with venom. He watched as he hugged the witch and she greeted him with a kiss to the lips then they spoke in whispers. Then she went over to Connor like she knew exactly where he was.

“Eavesdropping... Well Servant go get more tea make sure it is the left container.” Connor left against his will. What curse did she put on him? He went into the kitchen and recoiled in horror at the tea label : death tea. Then it said will kill slowly person will grow weaker over a matter of time. Will die over any type of conflict after 7 years. He watched as his hands poured the tea and handed it to the witch who gave it to owen who drank it Connor was screaming inside but no words came out. She smiled and laughed as Owen convulsed on the ground with blood dripping out if his mouth. Connor nelt next to him and picked him up leaving the dreaded house. One they were home Connor gave him some medicine. And tucked him in. as he turned to leave Owen pulled him back Conor laughed and allowed Owen to cuddle next to him and fall asleep. The next morning owen had made breakfast he looked normal but asked him what he was whispering about with the the witch he blushed angrily and said

“I should have never trusted her.” before cuddling Connor and fell asleep. Connor signed knowing he would have to figure everything else on his own. He moved so as not to disturb Owen who was still sleeping.
