But little do they know what this witch is capable of and what she will do to anyone who dares to harm her.

Chapter 1: The witch

Garfield Logan, a blonde, green eyed muscular figure, sat in the tavern with Victor, his best friend. Victor had had an injury a year ago and now had many parts of his body replaced with metal. His legs had been replaced, as well as his left arm, his right shoulder was also cover with metal, and he had a robotic eye. They were having a drink after a long day. Garfield had needed Vitors help with one of his silver blades, Victor was the best smith in the entire kingdom. He and Victor had been friends since Garfield came to Jump.

Garfield's title said "Witch hunter" But he could hunt for other supernaturals. He knew the most about witches, the most dangerous ones.

"Hey, Gar…" Garfield looked at his friend. "Have you heard about what's going on in the dark forest?" He asked. Garfield had, how could he not. There was a witch hiding there, it wasn't many reports that said she had done anything wrong yet, only scaring bystanders.

"How could I not?" Garfield lifted a mug from his lips, he looked at it.

"So… You gonna take her down?" Vic asked, he took a sip of his own drink.

"Not yet, I'm waiting for to do something…" As a cue, the doors to the tavern bursted open. A man ran in yelling.

"The witch!" He yelled, they knew who he was. Dr. Light, the kingdoms strange doctor. "The dark! It's everywhere, someone help!" He yelled, as he spotted Garfield he ran up to him. He grabbed Gar by the shoulders and yelled. "You have to take her down!"

"Calm down Light, what did she do?" He asked, Light let go and sat down in a chair Vic had taken out.

"I was out in the forest looking for herbs to medicine, when I came across a girl. She was wearing a blue robe with the hood up. She was picking up flowers, she seem harmless at first so I asked her who she was. Then…" He trailed off, as if the memory was too much for him. "S-She shot me with her magic… I felt paralyzed and all I could see was darkness with monsters everywhere, they all had four eyes glowing red." He stopped as he gasped, tears ran down his face, he was terrified.

"Did you see the face of the witch?" Vic asked, if they knew who the witch was he could make Garfield a special weapon to help take down the witch.

"N-No… But I heard someone yell and I know it wasn't her." He just managed to finish before he passed out.

"Someone take him home, Victor and I will stop this witch. Nothing will happen to this kingdom while I am here." He shouted before walking out, Vic following him.

As they walked down the street in silence when Victor asked. "So… You're going after her aren't you…" He said, Garfield didn't answer. When they got to Victor's home they walked inside and started to work on weapons.

"I will go after her and take her down." He said, even though he didn't really like Dr. Light, he still had his job to keep.

"So, we know. Powerful, blue cloaked and in the forest." Victor said counting three fingers.

Garfield pulled something out of his pocket, it was a small leather book. It read "Witch journal" He had written down missions and all the witches names and powers he had heard about. He pointed a finger over some names, some of them had an X behind them, showing that the witch had been taken care of. "Mantra X, Artella, Alincy X, Jinx, Rose X, Dove and…" He stopped, the last name had been scribbled over. His master had given him the book and told him to write down as many witches as possible. But the last witch's name was impossible to read. "What he muttered, he remembered that he wrote down the names, but why was one taken away?

"Did you say something?" Victor asked from his work place, he was putting together a silver sword with salt mixed into the metal.

"Huh? No, just one of the witches I studied are gone. The name is scribbled on." He said, he scratches the back of his head, when the memory of why it was scribbled on came back to him.

-Flash back-

sixteen year old Garfield sat in the study with his master. A tall old man with long grey beard and blue eyes. The room had shelves all around, not showing the stone that the house was originally made of, two dust windows at each side of the square room. His master was looking at some books he wanted Garfield to read, but in all honesty Garfield didn't like reading. He had been born with the strength and power to take down witches, he had done it as a kid when one tried to take down his mother. He somehow knew that throwing salt at her would help, he had also used a silver knife the family had been passing though for generations to stab the witch in the back.

The memory of almost losing his mother had stopped him from reading, and when a hand moved in front of his face he looked up at his master.

"You can't go back into the memories while fighting, witches will use your memories to distract you. They could hold the possibility to change them to get the upper hand. If you zone out of past memories, you won't last long, kid." His master wasn't the nicest person in the world, but he meant good.

"I'm sorry sir." Gar said, he got back to reading, but was stopped as his master spoke again.

"Garfield, take notes on this." Garfield took out his notebook and a quill. " I want you to write down these names. Mantra, Artella, Alincy, Jinx, Rose, Dove." He did, he gazed over his book and noticed a name that didn't get mentioned.

"What about this one?... Raven…" He asked. His master went stiff.

"That witch is out of your grasp. Do you remember Trigon?" Garfield nodded. Trigon was the lord of all magic and darkness. "Miss...Raven… Is his daughter, I do NOT want you fighting her. She is almost as powerful as him, don't even try."

Garfield had already written the name down, but his master grabbed the book and scribbled it out.

"But shouldn't she be take out first then?" He asked.

"No, she is too powerful. But if you ever come across her, I recommend you use all power to stop her, I do not want you seeking her. I can tell you a little of how powerful she is." Looked out the window covered in dust. "Let's just say, she could end the world any minute now."

-End of Flashback-

"Hmm…" Garfield grabbed a quill next to him and wrote the name down again. "Raven" He muttered.

"What?" Vic asked walking into the room with half done sword.

"This could be her. Light said he saw darkness, my master told me about the witch of darkness. The daughter of the Lord of magic, her name is Raven." Garfield said.

"Could you two please talk louder? I don't think the lord can hear you" Karen, Victor's wife, came down. She looked tired, her voice was only sarcasm as she almost looked mad.

"Sorry bee, we'll keep quiet." Vic said, Garfield laughed a little. Bee was Karen's pet name from Victor, but she had her own pet name for him too.

"Thanks Cyy…" She dragged her word out before going back to bed.

"Gotta love her." Vic sighed with a goofy loving smile.

"Anyway, if this is the witch I think it is. We should bring more people."

"What do you mean 'we'?" Vic said, they heard a loud *Thump* in the wall. Signalling Karens wishes to have quietness.

"I will need your help." Gar said. "Maybe we could get a guard to come with us…"

"I can't come, I have to protect Bee." He started.

"Then I suggest you come with, if there is more of us we could easily take her down. And in all honesty, with the witch here. Your 'Bee'" He said her name a little sarcastic. "... Will be less safer."

"Good point, we can talk to the guards tomorrow." Victor said, he didn't want argue. But Garfield was right, the longer the witch stayed, the longer Bee would be in danger.

With that Garfield nodded and went home. His house was just three houses down from Victor's workshop. As he went in, he turned on the light. Poster of witches and books of magic and supernaturals was everywhere. It was a hammock hanging from one side of the room to the other, he rarely bothered to clean or anything. The house was only two rooms, the living/ kitchen room and a bedroom. But he used the bedroom as workspace. Even though the work was all over the house. Garfield just jumped into his 'bed' and fell asleep.

The next morning, he and Victor went to the guard post. Where they were allowed to talk to the head guard, mostly because of Garfield's title.

"What are you here for?" They entered a room, similar to his own house. but posters of Criminals instead of witches and supernaturals. The man in the chair looked up at them, he had almost glowing blue eyes, with long white hair. His mouth was covered with a black cloth and he had a iron looking armor.

"We need a guard to come with us to the dark forest to take down a witch." He said simply.

"Werry well, I have a job to do so. You may pick the one yourself."

"Sir Rorek, where could we find a knight?" Vic asked.

"Down the hall, now leave me be. I have a brother I need to talk to." Gar and Vic left him. Carfield knew about Rorek's brother, corrupted by a dark wizard and turned into a dragon. He also knew that because of the the corruption Malchior, as his brother was named, was capable of magic.

They walked down the hall until they meet the door, they walked inside to see a number of knights, one in particular stood out to them. Richard, a old friend. He noticed them and walked over. He as always wore his armor and his mask on, his hair was also spiky as ever.

"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" He asked, a smile spread across his lips.

"We need some help from a knight, wanna join?" Gar asked.

"What's the mission?"

"We're taking down a witch." Richard thought for a second, then he came to think of Kori, his girlfriend.

"I'm in, anything to save the loved ones I have left" With that the three went to say goodbye to their families, at least Vic and Richard. Garfield just stood there looking away from the scene as Robin said goodbye to Kori, a redhead with bright green eyes.

"I promise, I will be back." With that Richard kissed Kori on the lips.

"Be careful" He heard Bee say, he turned his head to see Bee hugging Vic, burying her face her face in his shoulder.

"I will."

The three took off on horses, Garfield riding a white horse, Vic riding a light brown horse and Richard riding a black horse. They rode into the dark forest, being cheered on by some villagers and their loved ones.

They rode the whole day looking for the witch. When dusk came forth they were forced to take camp by a cave. Victor had been carrying their supplies, took a few tents so they could sleep peacefully. But he as he was about the take them out, it started to rain. They got some blankets instead and went into the dryer cave. They made a small fire from the dry wood they could find.

"So what's your plan?" Richard asked, they had been silent a good while now.

"I take her on, I know a lot about witches and I don't think she is any different than other witches, maybe a little more power… But still…"

"Who is she?" He asked.

"Ever heard about Trigon?" Gar asked. Richard nodded, he looked more serious now.

"We're taking on his daughter." Richard's jaw dropped. "Don't worry, I know what to do." He looked into the fire. "I have done it before" A short memory came to his mind.

-Flash back-

She screamed. A young stood in the middle of a fire, she was screaming in pain. She had knee long light blue hair with green eyes, she was dressed in a white long armed dress that had taken flames. The flames had already started to take hold of her. She couldn't stop it even if she tried.

"please" She screamed, her name was Mantra. Garfield wasn't the one who started the fire on her, but he had managed to tie her up and get ready for her death.

"This, kid. Is what must be done to every witch you find. Burn them before they burn you." A scream of pain was heard in the background as his master spoke. The scream died quickly, that's when he saw she was dead.

Gar looked away, even if she was a witch. He felt guilty, she didn't do anything wrong. All she had done was being caught using magic to help someone, but people had sumed she was bad and had tried to kill them.

Garfield hoped that he wouldn't need to really burn a witch, but on a lone mission he was forced to. It had made it easier by the fact that she did try to kill him, but still.

-End of flashback-

Victor and Richard had fallen asleep while Gar had been thinking. He was about to to bed himself, when he heard a branch break. He snapped up and went outside. He looked around for the source, when he noticed someone standing in the darkest shadow of a tree. The figure was looking at him, the person tilted its head before turning back and starting to walk away.

The person had a dark blue cloak, which he remembered was the description of the witch Light had seen.

Garfield ran inside, grabbing his bag of salt and silver and a silver knife he ran after the person. The person was on good distant from him. The figure stopped in a clearing, Gar jumped behind a tree, looking out at the person.

The person had stopped by a deer, it didn't seem frightened. It actually came closer, the cloaked person took out a hand, when Gar looked closely he saw magic. Black magic surrounded the person's hand and a apple came out of the magic.

The deer sniffed the apple before eating it. Garfield was about to attack, when the deer noticed him and ran off. Also warning the magician.

The cloaked one turned around and saw him. He saw the eyes of the person, amethyst. They looked wide, before the person ran off.

Gar didn't let this magician run off, he took off after. Luckily he was a little faster and he caught up. The person stopped only a few meters before him, they were facing a river. Garfield took out his knife, ready to strike.

"Azarth metrion zyntos." The person whispered, before she started to run over the water. There was no way he could follow the person, he assumed it was a witch now that he heard her voice.

"Who are you?" He called after her. She stopped in the middle of the running river. He could tell that the river was deep.

"You don't want to know." She said, she was about to turn around again, when Garfield threw his salt and silver powder. It did hit her, and she screamed in pain and dropped into the water. He quickly threw himself after her, now was his chance.

He swam after her, she finally got to land and gasped for air. Garfield managed to take a grip on her cloak. He up on land, still holding her cloak. When he got up, he pulled on the cloak. Making the witch fall back.

She fell onto her back and looked up at him in fear. He pulled back her hood and gasped. The witch cried.

She had short purple hair and pale skin with a ruby on her forehead. But Garfield had never seen such beauty. She looked at him wondering if he was just going to stare at her. Noticing a chance she pushed him off and ran away pulling her hood as she ran.

Garfield was stunned by the sight, he knew witches could be pretty, but her…. He had no words, getting back to his senses he noticed that she had gotten away without him realizing it. He cursed loudly as he got back up.

The image of her ran across his mind many times as he walked back to camp. Victor and Richard was still asleep, lucky. He didn't really want tell them where he went, he could tell them a lie and say he just needed to "Water the forest"

He laid down on his blanket, the witch was playing in his mind. Again he cursed, this time it was quiet. He let her escape, he had given her the chance.

The words of his master ran across his mind again. "A witch will take any opportunity to get the upper hand." The voice of his master started to play, many of "Quotes" ran into him "The witches are heartless, if you fall for them… They will break you."

"The only way to kill them; Burn them or stab the heart. And if they have a familiar, kill it too. If the familiar stays alive, her soul will too."

The last one was one of the worst. He had let a witch get to him. The witch was named Alincy, she had been really evil. She was the one who killed his master, but Garfield killed her in return.

- Flashback-

"hehe… you think you can take me on? A old man and his pet boy." Alincy taunted, she had butt long blond hair and bright blue eyes. She had brown tight pants on with a loose white shirt.

Master attacked by throwing the salt and silver powder on her. She screamed and tried to rub it off. She glared at him and attacked herself. She threw nine ice daggers at them, one hitting Master in the side. Garfield got out unharmed, but when he saw his master fall to the ground. He gasped.

"What's the matter boy? Cat got your tongue?" She laughed.

Garfield growled. "You will pay for that!" He charged at the witch. She didn't see it coming, so Garfield tackled her to the ground. He punched her with all he had in her face, her nose clearly broke. He punched her in the chest also making her ribs break. He pulled out his silver knife and held it up.

A lightning struck behind, he didn't notice that it had started to rain.

That's when he stuck. The knife had penetrated her heart. Garfield got off her when he knew she was dead. He walked up to his master.

"Garfield…" He had never said his name like that before, it shocked Garfield. "You are… A strong kid…" He began to trail off as sleep started to take it's toll on him. "You will be fine… Use what I thought you… And don't let them get you. My powers are now… Yours…" He placed his hand on Garfield's head. He felt a warmth on his head, then it stopped.

"M-Master?" Gar asked looking at him.

"I… Am proud of you…" Was the last thing he said before he fell into the realm of the dead.

At this point Garfield's eyes were full of tears. That's all he did for the rest of the night, crying. But he had to go, being quick. He decided to set his master's soul free. He went over to his bag and started a fire on a branch he found nearby. Setting the body of his master on fire, the fire turned blue and visibly his soul stood up and flew up to the sky.

- End of Flashback-

Garfield slowly woke to the smell of breakfast. He opened his eye, Richard and Victor was sitting by the fire making food. From the smell of it they were making egg and bacon. Garfield could also smell tofu egg and bacon. He sat up, getting their attention.

"Hey, where did you go off to last night?" Richard asked looking at him with a smile as he took a bite of a piece of bacon.

"I didn't go anywhere." He tried.

"Yes you did, I heard you get your knife last night. I planned on following you, but I lost you…"

"Did you hear me Vic?" Gar asked.

"Nah, I slept." Vic answered, digging into his breakfast.

"I saw someone, I followed them and fought them." Garfield dug into his own breakfast.

"Who?" they asked.

"The witch"
