Mae quickly glanced back and forth as the two children were toyed with by the old crones magic, her mind running in circles trying to figure out how that could possibly happen. It was a dream, it had to be. There was no way such a thing could possibly happen in real life, it was impossible. The coming explanation would only send her mind reeling even more. The way the old witch regarded her made her face twist a bit, 'the silent one' to be 'seen and not heard'. It made her wish she even could shout, but all she could do was bite back her irritation as she gripped her note pad. 

With each passing sentence she could feel herself growing more confused, and annoyed in equal measure. Spirits...and for profit? Using them to make profit off of spirits that would [i]eat[/i] them if given the chance? She found herself remembering back to childhood fairy tales, Hansel and Gretel, Red Riding Hood and plenty of others. The girl quickly wrote something again, catching one of the papers that were tossed out by the witch. She looked over the contract for a moment, grimacing at the strange characters on the page. They may have well had been moon runes to her, which made her glance back to her own paper wondering how the witch could even read her writing if this was how she wrote.

Still she raised her notepad once again. [b]”What about when we're not needed anymore. Are you just gonna eat us then?”[/b] The message read, Mae glancing back to the contract. It didn't make sense to her, if they were wanted for workers why let them go after signing a little sheet of paper? She always heard to read the fine print on any contract... but no one ever said anything about contracts written in weird spirit runes. Looking around again she noticed some of the other children already signing the papers. Maybe they didn’t care, just wanted an adventure, but she was too skeptical to sign immediately.
