**Title: The Little Witch’s Trade**
---
**START**
I always thought there was something odd about my little sister, Iris. The day my parents brought her home, they told me she was an orphan—a quiet girl with pale skin, ancient eyes, and a habit of sitting perfectly still for hours. I was seven then, and Iris was supposed to be five. She never cried, never laughed, and there was an unsettling intensity to the way she watched us. I brushed it off as shyness.
For years, our lives spun in routine. Iris learned quickly, rarely spoke, and didn’t seem to grow. At first, my parents overlooked it, delighting in her good behavior. But after three birthdays, she hadn’t changed at all—still wearing the same clothes, still with that unnerving stare.
One rainy night, I woke to find her in my room. Her silhouette stood by my desk, rifling through my things. I blinked, pretending to sleep. She took my silver pendant—a family heirloom—pressed it against her lips, then whispered strange words. I watched, puzzled and uneasy.
The next day, my favorite pen was gone. Then my comb, then my marbles. Each time Iris floated through the house, gathering small things. My parents never noticed.
**MIDDLE**
It became a nightly ritual: Iris slipping into my room, scavenging for objects. She’d smile at me in the morning, innocent and sweet, not a trace of guilt.
One evening, I found her in the attic, arranging her stolen treasures—my belongings, family photos, old coins—into a bizarre circle. Candles flickered, casting jagged shadows. I crept closer, feet silent, heart pounding.
She sat in the center, whispering. Symbols flared blue on the carpet. Suddenly, she looked up and whispered, “I'm sorry, but I need your life.”
Terror gripped me. Before I could scream, the air crackled, and the world spun. I felt myself pulled, twisted—I was falling and falling.
When I woke, I was in a small, frail body. My fingers were thinner, my vision dimmer. Across the room stood a boy who looked exactly like me—but his eyes shone ancient and cold.
I tried to speak, but my voice was high, childish. In a mirror, I saw Iris’s face—my new face. She had taken my body.
I ran to my parents, tried to tell them that I was Daniel, not Iris. But all they saw was a frightened little girl, babbling nonsense. Iris—in my body—smiled and hugged them. She played her role perfectly.
**END**
Days blurred in horror. I tried compelling my friends, screaming the truth to my parents, even showing them Iris’s attic ritual. Each time, their eyes slid away, pitying the sad, delusional “little girl.” The curse she’d broken made them see her new body as normal, and me as an odd child, barely worth their attention.
I watched helplessly as she grew, finally, inch by inch—wearing my face, my voice, living my life. At night, she leaned close: “I played by the rules, Daniel. They cursed my body, not my soul. I’m sorry. You’ll always be a forgetting, a shadow. That’s the price of power.”
In the small body, time meant nothing. I didn’t age. Days and seasons lost meaning. My parents grieved for the “disturbed” Iris and loved Daniel—the new Daniel—whose eyes no longer held any kindness.
And so, the little witch devoured my life, her curse lifted, while I wasted away in childhood, unseen and unheard. My only witness was the attic mirror—where, now and then, the boy's reflection smiled back at me, ancient and cruel.
