Chapter 23


    She wanted to grumble, but she had no choice at this point. She had to fetch the water in order to


    have her shower. After Roxanne went back to her room to change into something more winter friendly,


    she took the bucket and pail, travelling to the front of the cottage, and then outside. She looked around


    and finally spotted the ce her grandmother described to be the location of the well.


    It had a bricyer, and it was only a metre tall at most. Roxanne looked at the cover, it was made


    of some sort of metal looking material, though when she touched it, for some odd reason it wasn’t cold.


    Considering the weather condition around her, that was indeed a surprise to her.


    She felt a tinge of curiosity, so she decided to check out just how deep the well was. One look


    made her almost regret that decision as a sudden chill was sent down her spine. The bottom was


    almost non visible as the hole extended deep down that it felt unreal. She quickly took a step back,


    moving away from the well which seemed to be calling for her to enter within. Shaking her head


    vehemently, she picked up the pail and decided to conclude her business there.


    She lowered the pail and dropped it slowly, holding onto the long rope as it descended steadily,


    until it made contact with the water. After waiting for the pail to get filled up, she pulled it back up and


    the contents she drew surprised her.


    “T-This is…” She muttered to herself.


    It was warm water. It was so unbelievable that she poured some on her body and realised that it


    was the real deal. The water wasn’t affected by the cold at all. She held onto the pail and poured the


    remaining contents of water into the bucket she had ced on the ground. After repeating this process


    for a while, the bucket became full and she closed the well back, still fascinated by the odd temperature


    of the metal substance.


    Roxanne hurried back Into the hut to find her grandmother seated on the chair, one coffee in hand

    while hers was on the table, simmering hot. Roxanne frowned a bit as she watched Linda take sips of


    coffee while she was still recoiling from the experience she had outside.


    “I’d hurry with that if I were you. The water gets cold easily, so you should hurry and take your bath


    before that happens” Linda said, sipping more of the ck liquid.


    “And what if it gets cold?” Roxanne asked.


    Linda smiled.


    “It’s simple. You go fetch another batch” She said.


    “Whaaaat?! This woman is crazy!” Roxanne thought to herself.


    She was wrong, but it was toote to turn back at this point since she had gotten to the point of no


    return.


    She hurried carried the bucket and dashed straight for the bathroom, quickly undressing herself as


    she closed the door and locked it. Linda chuckled as she saw this.


    “Ah, what a sight!” She mused.
