Kim fights a witch

With a bundle of sticks on her back, a frail old lady painstakingly took the first steps into her little cabin lost in the middle of the woods. With long grey hair and more wrinkles than a crumped-up ball of paper, she sighed in relief as she threw the wood into the fireplace.

The old woman reclined on her seat to enjoy the warmth radiating from the fire and into her colorful wool sweater. She almost had a heart attack when she noticed that she wasn´t alone.

“Morpheus wants his crystal ball,” Kim said, sitting cross-legged on the other chair. “Also, I borrowed some of your clothes, hope you don´t mind.” Kim was also wearing a colorful wool sweater along with a hand-knitted skirt.

“W-who are you? Who´s Morpheus? I have no idea-”

“Esmeralda, I know it´s you. Let´s cut to the chase, shall we?”

“…Fine.” With a snap of her fingers, the octogenarian transformed. No longer was she a frail old lady, but a gorgeous young woman. With flawless olive skin, colorful red lips, intense green eyes, flowing dark hair, curves to die for, and legs that you could land a plane in. The beautiful woman was proof that you don´t need to look like an old hag to be a witch. “Better?”

“I don´t care how you look. Just give me the crystal ball and I´ll be on my way.”

“Funny story about it. So, this woman came to my cabin to try and prove that I´m a witch, and wouldn’t you know it? She stole the crystal ball! Tell Morpheus to give me another month, please! I´ll pay back everything.”

Esmeralda´s speech didn´t move Kim. “I can see the ball, it´s under the tablecloth.” Kim pointed behind her, to the messy dining table filled with dirty plates, cups, and suspicious orb-shaped protuberance that was vibrating with an arcane hum.

“Oh wow, what a miracle! It´s back!”

With slow movements, Kim got up. “Well, if you don´t mind, I´ll be taking your collateral and leaving. Morpheus still expects payment for the rest of the debt. Trust me, you don´t want to be on his list of overdue debtors.”

As Kim sauntered to the living room, Esmeralda couldn’t help but notice something odd. “Wait, it´s only you today? The ghost isn´t with you?”

“Err, no. Only me.”

“You? The completely normal human girl?”

“Yep, that´s what I am.”

Before Kim could grab the ball, it went flying back into Esmeralda´s hands. “Yeah, no. Here´s what´s going to happen. You will go back to Morpheus empty-handed and tell him that I´ve been robbed and need three extra months to pay him back, capiche?”

“And why would I do that?”

“So, I don´t do things like this.” With a flick of her fingers, Kim began to laugh. Invisible hands ran under her clothes to tickle her all over her body.

“Ha, you will need, Haha! Something better than that! Hehe, give me that ball Ha! Or I´ll tell Morpheus how uncooperative you are being-Hihi.” Kim tried to look brave, but that was hard to pull considering she was squirming and twisting her body all over itself.
