REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch!

"Congratulations graduates!"

The speaker said and with that, all of the students rose from their seats. They were all wearing a white graduation gown as that was their most awaited graduation day.

It was not necessary for them to toss their graduation caps in the air, but they still did. They tossed their caps as they cheered in celebration of that special day.

Everyone was visibly thrilled by the idea of moving up and finally completing their junior high. But no one was as ecstatic as Audrey was.

The other party felt excited and accomplished more than anyone else because it was like she finally overcame one hurdle in her life.

She was able to send herself to school with her own effort and that made her feel that this graduation was more than just a simple ceremony but also a token of her hard work.

Being a student in the morning and a part-timer at night was no easy task, but she was able to pull it off just fine.

Now that she finally graduated, she felt like she was already one step closer to achieving her dream.

Audrey's eyes lingered around as she took in sight the entirety of the school. She would definitely miss the place.

Then all of the sudden, she was reminded of her favorite spot at the school. She felt like it was calling her.

"Maybe I should check the rooftop for one last time."

Audrey thought to herself and with that, she left her batch mates and started heading upstairs.

Audrey was taking her time climbing the flight of stairs as she reckoned that she would probably never climb that same staircase in the future

However, before Audrey could even arrive at the rooftop, she could already hear a loud shriek of a cat.

The animal seemed to be in trouble, and as an animal lover herself, Audrey came to its rescue.

When she opened the door, she was surprised to see a group of girls gathered in what seemed to be a circle drawn with red ink on the floor.

A black cat was bound at its center, and it was the same cat that was crying for help.

"What are you doing here?"

Audrey was frozen on the spot, as one of the girls wearing heavy gothic makeup approached her.

The other party wanted to shut the door so that they could proceed with what they were doing but Audrey was standing right at the door frame.

"No! You, what do you think you guys are doing?!"

She asked back with an incredulous expression pasted on her face. Although she already had a rough guess on what they were doing at the moment.

As a frequent visitor of the rooftop, Audrey already knew the wicked rituals that these schoolmates of hers were doing.

This freakish sorority would often do sacrificial rites to their make-belief goddess, Lilith. But they would mostly use birds or other poultry live stocks like chicken and pigs before.

However, it seemed that they finally decided to up the notch this time and used a poor cat instead!

"Stop sticking your nose on someone else's business and go away while we are still being nice."

Another girl butted in with a threatening voice.

But Audrey was not someone who could easily feel threatened. Disregarding their explicit warning, she shoved the door open and bolted inside.

She headed straight into the circle and freed the cat despite the hostile stares that she was receiving.

If only looks could kill, Audrey would probably be long dead by now. Their eyes were almost shooting daggers but no one was brave enough to step inside the circle.

"I already told you to leave and stay out of our business! You are ruining everything!"

The leader of the sorority shrieked in utter annoyance but Audrey could not be bothered to care. She took the cat out of the circle but as soon as she stepped out of it, the leader pulled her hair.

Audrey let go of the cat so it won't get hurt but the cat did not leave. It looked back at her as though it was reluctant to leave its savior's side.

"Go!"

Audrey mouthed but before she could even shoo the cat more, the leader already pulled her away.

The other party dragged her before forcefully pushing her off her feet. But Audrey held onto the guradrail so that she would not fall completely

As they were currently close to the edge of the rooftop, the strong wind was already blowing on Audrey's hair, and when she looked down she saw how high they were above the ground.
