Rachel sat on a bench, texting to her heart's content. She didn't noticed the students walking past her, nor did she notice the person who sat down next to her on the bench. She had more important things to do. Namely, these more important things included texting, chewing gum, and texting people to ask what color she should paint her nails. Suddenly, her phone gave her a message that practically ruined her day.
Low battery.
Baffled, she immediately sent out a mass text to everyone on her contacts, informing them that her battery was low. Then, with a heavy heart, she slid her texting keyboard back into place and sat on the bench, chewing her gum.

Kitt, having peered over Rachel's shoulder to see what she was doing, sat back. "Low battery?" she asked innocently. "I'm surprised that hasn't happened sooner. What, with you constantly texting and all." Kitt smiled friendlily. (is that a word? I hope so.)

An owl flew over Rachel and Kitt, casting a shadow. She landed on a nearby tree, and watched them from afar. Curious, she cocked her feathered head, and peered more closely at them. They seemed to be conversing about a phone. Is this what DWMA students do in their free time? wondered the owl.

Kitt glanced at the owl. "Owls don't usually show up in the daytime," she stated. "Do you think that was a witch?" Kitt was very, very scared of witches. They kill countless weapons and meisters...she was glad that the day she would have to risk her life and kill a witch was far off.

"A witch?" Rachel repeated, in awe. She wondered why one would just sit on a tree and watch them. She had to agree it was unusual. It was strange for owls to come out at daytime, and this one was staring at them intently, while cocking its head, almost as if...it were trying to listen. The last piece fell into place. "Kitt," said Rachel, "That owl has purple eyes."

Kitt felt the prickle of goosebumps climbing her arms. "It's a witch! What should we do?" Kitt knew this behavior was unusual in her, and to hear the fea in her voice scared her. But what was she supposed to do? She was a weapon with no meister (for she had no idea where Luna was) and no experience.

They found me. Estrella sighed, and ruffled her feathers. It was her eyes. Why were they even purple in the first place? She lifted off the branch and changed into her human form. She was in the shade of a tree, without her boots and hat. She didn't look like a witch, besides her hair and eyes, which were hidden by the branches. She cocked her head. "Hi there," she said. Estrella thought these girls seemed nice enough. Maybe they wouldn't try to fight her. They were plenty scared of her, she knew that. All she had to do was start a spell and they would run away screaming...probably.

Kitt stuttered, "H...hi. Are...are you a...witch?" By now she was unspeakably terrified. A witch! A killer of meisters and weapons alike! Kitt was scared down to her rapidly beating heart. A witch! She'd feel much better if Soul, Maka, Kid, or Crona were here. But as it was, she had no powerful ally.

"Me, a witch?" asked Estrella innocently, "What a silly question." She smiled, surprised that the redhead had even had the courage to speak. Her friend, on the other hand, was backing away slowly, eyes wide. "Of course I'm a witch," said Estrella, her voice deepening and becoming more threatening. "Who Hoot Whoo, Grasping Talons." Rachel suddenly went rigid, and floated a few inches off the ground. Estrella moved her hand backwards, and Rachel floated towards her. She smiled.

Kitt's deportment failed her. She turned tail and ran back into the Academy, running over to Soul, Maka, Kid, and Luna, who were chatting happily. "Guys!" she said. "There's a witch outside!"

Hm, so maybe she wasn't so brave. Assuming she had gone to get help, Estrella whispered to a terrified Rachel, "You will say I was not here. You will make Kitt out as a liar. You do not want to disappoint me." She released Rachel, turned back into an owl and flew away, but only so that she could see them without them seeing her.

Kitt led her friends out into the the courtyard where she and Rachel had been sitting. To her utter bafflement, the witch was nowhere to be seen. Kitt asked the traumatized gum-and-phone addict, "Where'd the witch go?"

Rachel did not want to disappoint the owl witch. "What witch?" she asked, trying to sound casual. The witch wouldn't hurt her if she did what she was told, right? Rachel didn't know anything about witches themselves, so, of course, she was absolutely terrified. And to top it all off, her phone was dead. Figures.

Kitt said in confusion, "The witch that was here just now." Soul looked at the two girl weapons in confusion. "Kitt wouldn't lie...did the witch tell you not to tell anyone, Rachel?"

Rachel sighed with frustration. "Guys, let me say this again. There. Was. No. Witch." She shook her head and stood up. "I'm going to charge my phone," she said, and walked away, hoping she had been convincing.
