Prologue
*Third Person P.O.V*
On a dark, cold, mistry, quiet and shadowy night sat a neighborhood in Cokeworth England.
Cokeworth is a large town located in the midlands of England, Great Britain.
*Inside*
*Upstairs: Bedroom*
Sleeping fast asleep in bed, in one of the bedrooms of the house, is a five year old girl.
With long auburn hair, she was tucked up under the bed covers that were keeping her warm.
Hum..Hum...
The girl suddenly woke up from her dreams and slowly opened her two hazel eyes.
She went and carefully sat up in bed, as the girl heard something.
Hum..Hum...
The girl couldn't see what was making this strange noise, since the room was indeed very dark.
Hum..Hum...
So the girl turned to her side, where she can the small lamp that was on top on the bedside table.
Before she went and pulled the string that was attached to the lamp, lighting up the room with light.
Hum..Hum...
The girl looked around the room with her eyes, trying to find the source of this noise.
Hum..Hum...
Then....
...the girl realise something.
The noise was coming from right in front of her.
So she went and looked forward, only to see...
There, in front of the little girl, on the bed is...
A small hand size, custard, yellow, spherical in shape creature.
Scream!
The girl quickly gets out of the bed and got down on the floor.
She went and crawl under it, holding the teddy bear the girl was sleeping with close to her.
Very scared right now, not knowing what that creature was that she just saw with her very own eyes.
Then suddenly...
The creature from before, jump down from above the bed and onto the floor.
The girl watches as the creature looks around it surrounded, with its big curious blue eyes.
Meanwhile...
*Outside*
Pop!
Sudden out of complete nowhere, a person appeared on the street.
They turn their head, to reveal that it is...a woman.
She take a look around her surrounded with her eyes, making sure that no one was about.
Once the woman make sure the coast is clear, she went and got something out from her pocket...a wand?
"Lumos" she said and a light suddenly appear at the tip of the wand, illuminated the street.
Hum..Hum...
The woman went and made her way over to one of the houses on the street.
Hum..Hum...
Once she got there, the woman looked up, seeing lights coming from a room on the second floor of the house.
"Nox" said the woman and the light from the wand...disappeared.
Putting her wand down and away before she went and starts climbing up a tree that was in front of the house...
A moment later...
The woman made it to the top of the tree, being careful and quiet so she doesn't make anyone aware of her present.
She turn around so that the woman was facing the window and gets out her wand once more.
Pointing it at the window, "Alohomora" she said as the woman cast a spell.
*Inside: Bedroom*
Click!
The window opened fully, as the woman carefully and quietly climb into the room without making any nose.
Once she got inside, window shut
Keeping her wand draw, the woman starts to explore the room.
The woman can tell that she was in a child bedroom; from the toys, the size of furniture etc...
She was in the middle of taking a look around, when..
Hum..Hum...
The woman stopped moving and slowly look down, to found...a creature on the floor in front of her.
"A puffskein" she whisperd, recognising the creature as soon as the woman saw it with her very own eyes.
She went and put her wand away, knowing that she wasn't in any danger.
Kneeling down to the creature level, since it is a lot smaller than her.
"Hello. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to help" the woman reassures the creature with a smile on her face.
She laid down her hand onto the floor and the puffskein look at it for a moment, wondering if it should trust this human or not.
But after a moment or two, the creature climbed onto her hand.
Once she knew that the puffskein was safely on, the woman carefully lifted her hand from the floor.
The puffskein just sat there, on her hand as it just stare at the human with curiosity in its eyes.
She smiled in return and gave the creature a gently rub, hum..hum...
"That's it...See...not going to hurt you" the woman slowly told the puffskein, showing the creature that it was safe.
Noise!
The woman instantly place the puffskein onto something, before drawing her wand out.
She took a look around the room once again, wondering if one she definitely heard something and two where did it come from.
Then...
...the woman noticed something underneath the bed.
So she slowly goes over to where the bed is and crouch down, to see...
Hiding under the bed, in the darkness...is a little girl holding a teddy bear tight to her chest.
"Hello there" the woman greeted her with a smile.
In a low volume so that the parents couldn't hear, to know that a stranger was in the house.
"...."
"Don't worry, I'm not going to harm or hurt you. I promise" she assured the girl.
The girl hesitated for a moment or two, before she climb out from underneath the bed.
"W-What is that?" she asked as the woman goes over to the puffskein.
"A puffskein" the woman answered as she went and picked up the creature.
And then turned around, "It's a harmless and friendly creature" she stated as the woman crouch down to the girl level.
In front of her, "Why don't you stroke her?" the woman suggested.
The girl looked at the puffskein for a moment, before she does so and gently stroke the creature.
Hum..Hum...
The girl smiled, as the woman watch as she continue to stroke the puffskein.
But then she frowned, knowing what she must do next.
"I'm sorry, but I must erase your memories" the woman states, making the girl stop stroking the puffskein.
"Why? Have I-I done something wrong?" the girl asked as she look up at her.
Maybe she stroke the creature a bit hard or holding it incorrectly.
But the woman knew that the child hasn't done anything wrong, well anything she would that know.
"No, no. You haven't done anything wrong" she tells her, assuring her.
As the woman went and took the puffskein out of the child hand, placing it gently onto her shoulder.
She stood up straight to her full height and held out a hand out to the girl.
The girl took her hand, "You're a muggle, my child. Muggles aren't allowed to see this sort of thing" the woman tells her.
As the woman lead the girl over to her bed, "What's a muggle?" she asked with a curious tone in her voice.
Never heard the word before, since a child of her age would only have a limit voluntarily.
The woman helped the girl into the bed, as she knew that the child won't have heard the word muggle before.
Yes, some Muggles in this world are aware of it; who are related to some certain people.
Such as parents, aunts, uncles etc...
But most of them are unaware of the other world and they are created laws to keep Muggles unaware of their community.
"An normal person who isn't like me, a witch or magical person" the woman tells her what the word meant.
As she went and pulled the blanket over her, making sure that the girl was comfortable.
"Miss Witch. Why do you have to erase my memory?" the girl questioned, wondering why she has to do so.
"You witness something related to my world and so I must erase that specific memory from you. That is the law" the woman explain to her.
"Then can I got to sleep. So it was all a dream" she requested innocently as her teddy bear was beside her.
That made the woman smiled, "Sure I can" she replied as she wasn't a cold or heartless person.
So she gets out her wand, "What your name?" the girl ask her name.
"Annabelle...Annabelle Selwyn"
