The Price Of A Wish

You would think that a witch who grants wishes would be loved.

You would be wrong.

She can never grant happiness, only steal it away and she doesn't hate herself for it. It's who she is, and that won't change, no matter how many times girls with freshly cut hair tell her this.

Tells her how useless she really is.

Can never grant happiness, says that voice in her head, and she sees a boy, clinging to the body of a girl long dead, secure in his illusion, and wonders if that's really true. If he's really not happy.

Then she remembers a vampire, bitter in his desperation even as he refuses, and knows it is.

A witch lives a lonely existence, she knows, especially one who takes happiness in exchange for wishes, but she thinks that she knows that she can always depend on a black cat to stay by her side. It's the only sure thing a witch has, after all.

Then Nao smiles at her and says, "I want to go back. I want to be with Shiki."

She grants her wish, and thinks it ironic.

The first time she gives someone happiness is what secures her in her loneliness.

Just like the boy in the illusion.
