Snake (Nita gen)
Title: Snake
Fandom: Young Wizards
Length: 200 words
Prompt:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
writing_game: Adder and The Child Catcher +2
Pairing: Nita and OC gen; Kit/Nita implied
Other: mentions of character death
Excerpt: The time that the snake took her daughter, the child was four years old.
The time that the snake took her daughter, the child was four years old-- too young to manifest wizardry, much less be in the hands of the Lone One.
They found her wandering the park an hour after her disappearance, and Nita took one look at the girl and shuddered. She'd been changed.
They used the subtlest and strongest of wizardries to try to find what the Lone Power had done to her, but it was to no avail. Not even Tom and Carl had an explanation.
She looked fine, but there was darkness in there. And she wouldn't stop talking about the snake she played with in the park.
Nita knew that all snakes weren't the Snake, but her daughter said it had talked. And it had taken her away. Nita had trouble sleeping at night, knowing what might be lurking in her child's heart.
She never did learn; she died in an unrelated mission before the girl was ten.
Her daughter kept quiet, kept snakes, and denied the wizardry that would have come to her as the daughter of two of the most powerful wizards on Earth.
(That, you see, was all the Lone One wanted, and for once, It got it.)
