Hollis POV

I sighed watching my teammates in a river near by.

"This is so awesome!" Elisa smiled swimming.

They stared at me glaring at them.

"What's wrong?" Nadia smiled nervously.

"We should be trying to find the witch" I said while a dark ora surrounded me.

"Try have some fun...Hollis, you are not normally like this" Karma sighed.

"Yea....normal Jayson is like that, a party pooper"Julee shook her head.

"Hey!" Jayson said angrily.

"What do you mean I'm being a party pooper?" I said as my ears drooped.

"We didn't mean you are one, it's just ever since this witch quest....you have been up late hours and being strict," Blaire smiled nervously, "like Jayson" she said.

"Everyone is talking like I'm not here" he mumbled folding his arms.

"I'm going to help Mrs. Usagi" I sighed.

"I'll come!" Nadia smiled hugging my hand.

I blushed extremely staring at her in her swimsuit.

"Should she take off it?" Jayson smirked.

"Jayson!" I glared at him.

~🎆~

Nadia and I help Mrs. Usagi carry pastry boxes in a truck.

"Thanks Hollis" she smiled softly.

"No problem, miss" I smiled nervously.

"With all that muscle" she said looking at me in a perverted way.

I became disturbed staring at her.

"Grandma...." Nadia sighed.

"Come on! You can't have him to all yourself" Mrs. Usagi wined.

Mrs. Toski looked scary carrying her on her shoulder.

"My own daughter!" Mrs. Usagi acted like a spoilt child.

They went inside leaving Nadia and I outside.

"You look so cute with those ears!" she squeezed my cheeks.

I sighed removing her hands from my cheeks, "I.....need to find that witch" I said in a serious tone.

"You need to relax" she chuckled patting my back.

I looked at her eyes. They seemed different from before. I heard the real Nadia trying to scream with her hands and feet tied with magical vines making her can't burn them off.

"Let her go!" I said angrily.

"I remember you," the fake Nadia smirked, "the little boy who asked me to hide his ears so he could go to Yōso Academy" she said holding my hand.

"Let go off me!" I became frightened.

"You are still afraid of me" she pouted.

She seemed bigger than me and I trembled staring at her.

"Leave me alone" I sounded younger.

"Come with me....Hollis and you will see your daddy again" she smirked.

I slowly gave her my hand.

"Hollis don't listen to her!" Mrs. Toski controlled fire towards her.

She disappeared leaving me still as a child.

"I....wanted to see daddy again and you made her leave!" I screamed.

"Hollis listen to me.....she's going to trick you again" Mrs. Toski held my hand.

"No, she won't! I want.....daddy" I said crying harder.

She released Nadia and both of them stared at me crying.

"She....turned him into a child" Nadia spoke softly.

"Nadia you left me alone," I hugged her leg, "Mrs. Toski is a meany" I said pointing at Mrs. Toski.

"This kid....I was just protecting him" she looked at me angrily.

"Mom you need to be calm with him" Nadia sighed.

Mrs. Toski sighed knelling before me. "Hollis please understand I saved your freaking life" she said looking annoyed.

"I don't like you" I glared at her.

"Hollis....." Nadia sighed lifting me.

"I want to stay with you not her" I wined as my ears drooped.

"I don't want to stay with you either.....perverted boy trying to rape my daughter" Mrs. Toski grabbed my ear.

I cried sounding like a kitten.

"You monster" Nadia hugged me and hid me from Mrs. Toski.

"Nadia" Mrs. Toski glared at her.
