14 Never Enough (1/2)

There was no girly chit-chat, only growling and snarling. While I was shock, Dylan appeared between me and the psycho woman, following by Nate who was saying. ”…your mind, she's dangerous! Heaven!”

Black wings grew out of Nate's back and he jumped onto a tree instantly, yelping as he did. Dylan morphed into his demon form standing in fighting stance.

'Isn't she supposed to be a witch?” I said loudly in panic. ”A kind witch who helps human cancel demon's contract?!”

”Stupid!” Nate said from the tree above. ”If she kills demons, how can she spares human?! Are you stupid?!”

Seems like I am!

Never enough.

SHE lived a life of a beggar in her childhood. There was never enough food to fill the void, enough water to quench the thirst, or enough clothes to keep her and her family warm. Wiping out all the crops with vicious weather, eliminating all the poultry with murderous flu, the land was never in her favor, and nature just loved to play on her. Unlike those beautiful quotes, to her family, hard work was paid off with the life of her mother and more hardship awaiting ahead.

But SHE wasn't alone. Her only neighbor shared the fate. The only thing that differentiated them was the mind-set.

Amelia was the daughter of the neighbor and her best friend. Every other day the girls would venture deep into the woods in search for food. There was a colony of apple trees which constantly fed them on. Amelia loved them. SHE detested them. It was impossible not to dislike something you eat three times a day. For Amelia, it was better than nothing to eat.

Sometimes the girls would chat about their dreams. Or only Amelia would chat about her dream of following the sun, traveling to the east in search for a better land. And SHE would just remain silent. SHE had no dream. SHE'd never ever had one.

Soon Amelia had grown up into a fine woman. And her beauty that lied beneath the dirty clothes was noticed by a son of a wealthy family. Amelia had become a Madame within one night. Since then on, SHE lived a life of an envier.

SHE adopted the likeness for green. And with some money that Amelia had given her, SHE managed a little house in town. Her family was satisfied, but it wasn't enough for her.

Amelia was now shine and clean and beautiful. SHE was still dirty. A number of her green dresses and the money from Amelia paled over the years. Why can't SHE have new dresses? Why can't SHE have those emerald necklaces Amelia has? Why can't SHE live in a big house like Amelia? Why can't SHE eat what Amelia eats? Why can't SHE have a rich husband like Amelia? Why can't SHE have Amelia' money? Why can't SHE have all the money in the world?

Nothing was ever fair to her.

Envy turned her green and turned her to the notorious witch of the village. SHE wanted a curse. The witch told her the world secret and SHE sought out the green dragon demon. SHE had now got one thing Amelia didn't have. SHE was delighted. Briefly.

The green dragon would help her. One time. Only one time. That wasn't enough. But SHE had no choice since the contract was made the moment SHE set foot inside his den. If there's only one wish SHE could have, SHE chose the one on the top of her list, SHE wanted Amelia dead.

The green dragon granted the wish. Amelia was dead.
