A Puppet's Strings (On Hiatus)

*The Witches POV*

It has been awhile since I have taken in 'The One', I'll say that even now there is still 'so' much more work that has to be done with him.

Currently right now I have him chained up in his chamber for misbehaving and going against my orders.

The "Witch": I'll say this Alfred~ You have been a bad boy, but not the right one...

"Alfred": Why can't I just have a simple battle against you? Don't you want to improve upon my skills and shape me to be the "Monster Of Timelines" as you call me?

He also has quite the mouth as well, we will have to address this before I can send him out on missions.

The "Witch": Do you know that it's rude to speak when it isn't your turn to speak?~

He just looked at me with a confused look while smiling.

"Alfred": Is that a problem? I thought that it is ok to voice my opinions, is it not the right thing to do?

Boy is he quite snarky, and witty too. I will have to address this sooner or later while I am training him.

The "Witch": It's not wrong, you just need to learn when it's your turn to speak and listen to orders.

My hand is covered in electricity, and I simply touched the chains causing the electricity to flow into it and in turn he is shocked with it passing through his body. But he doesn't scream at all and he looks to be holding it in, I can't have him showing signs of weakness at all.

The "Witch": We still have plenty of things to work on Alfred, and believe me~ All of that will be taken care of soon~

He seems to be confused at that, though it has been a long time since we have done some training. But I have to make sure he doesn't slow down and doesn't fail his objective.

The "Witch": In a few short moments we will take care of all this dear~ I promise that...

As I finished that statement I can sense he had chills going down his spine, good cause he should ALWAYS listen to his master.

Then I sensed a magical presence in this room, I turned around and I saw one of my many minions kneeling to me.

The "Witch": Anything to report? Cause if not then you are wasting my time...

The person in robes shivered and cleared their throat, but I can sense a bit of unease in his consciousness.

Minion: Mistress, we received word that something is amiss. We fear it may have something to do with Morvin and Maybel.

The "Witch": What is it that you said?

My tone of voice grew dark and I grabbed the minion by the collar of their robe. My eyes staring into their own piercing right into their very soul with curiosity and a "kind" demeanor.

The "Witch": Could you care to tell me what you mean by that?

I said that with a curious smile, the last thing I need is to hear news that they both were killed in a mission.

Minion: No no no you got it all wro-

I begin to strangle the person and they are struggling to get out of my iron grip.

Minion: The two....... of them..... left..... for mission....

I had now realized why this person barged In here, I let go and they gasp for air and cough a few times.

The "Witch": Ara Ara~ Its pretty typical for them to go out and do missions without informing me, so there is no reason to come in here and give me those news.

Alfred sat there still in chains, looking down like this is still a "Dream" or a "Nightmare" of somekind.

The "Witch": Alfred Johnson, this is no Dream, Nightmare, or a part of your imagination. This is all real~

I chuckled as I said that last part, he just looks to me with pleading eyes as if telling me "Please let me go."

The "Witch": Dear~ We still have much more to improve on, now let's get this underway!~

Then I grabbed a piece of the chain and drag him back to the "Special" room for his training, then it begins with screams of agony and pain with it storming outside thunder roaring as it booms from the skies.

To be continued...

A/N: Guess what guys? I'm not dead! I am still alive and well but with a side of laziness. Now if I'm being honest going forward with this book I will possibly make more shorter chapters and make longer ones for special events that will happen in the story, cause writing as I have stated before is quite challenging. Especially when you are writing such lengthy chapters that take awhile to think about and do.
