Chapter 657
Folding the torn parchment, Penny put it back in her dress pocket .
"Come, let me take you around the village . I heard from one of the maids that there is a local fair that has been arranged," Penny said, pulling Caitlin along with her .
Returning back to the church where the carriage of the Quinn's was parked, they took it to ride to the next town and as expected, the village was decorated in bright paper colors, hanging up in the air while many people had gathered around the center of the fair that had little shops arranged in tents which held different valuable items as well as food . Games were held for young children while some were for adults .
"I remember these things that were held in Valeria," commented Caitlin as they made their way towards the fair, "Your father and I would often slip out of the house to attend these things . Uncle and aunt never liked it, they feared something, maybe us getting killed out in the open as we were witches and we would hear an earful once we returned back home . Some years later we never told them but only slipped out of our beds and rooms to be able to visit and see what these fairs were all about . "
"Looks like my father and you were mischievous little children," after hearing Penny's words, the woman smiled fondly over her memories .
"We indeed were . Being young and with the bliss of ignorance, life was too perfect I think at that point in time . When we are kids, we believe what is told to us . Accepting it to be the truth and then we grow up . When we were young, your father made up storytelling how the watermelon carried the water of Bonelake in it which was why it was so watery . It is because the fruit isn't frequent in Valeria . "
Penny smiled at Caitlin's words . She was glad to hear that both her father as well as her aunt had had good childhood memories .
They went through the stores one after another, looking at what each one of them had to offer while moving to the next one . Taking some things to eat on their way, Caitlin and Penny had a good time with each other . It was good to hear stories from her aunt about her and her father which in turn made Penny feel as if she were much closer to her father than she was before .
Right now it felt like she knew him . Penny remembered her father in her mind, his very image brightened her mind giving her the hope that she needed along with the strength .
"What are you smiling so widely?" Caitlin questioned as she looked at her niece .
"I don't know if I told you this but I am glad you are here . "
Caitlin nodded her head, "Several times but I don't mind hearing it again," she said warmly, opening her arms for a hug, the woman said, "Come here . "
Penny stepped forward to hug her aunt in the midst of the crowd, "You are a strong girl, Penelope . Stronger than your own father and don't let anyone make you think otherwise . You have the blood of the first generation witch running in you, that itself is special . "
