The witch's rebirth

I slowly open the other boxes and scan for more artifacts. In a small cupboard, I found a tomb and a pendent. I recognize it.

Malinda had been looking it since it had been stolen from her in the 80s. But she wasn't getting it back just yet. The price still wasn't right as there wasn't a need for protection.

Transport was easy, all I had to do was wave my magic won and the items would be sent to the vault. Spell with specific destinations were always easier.

My next stop however required a bit more maneuvering. The location was another auction that was an hour drive away from here. It was a normal auction that I heard Cat had been visiting after she bid at red, it was within flying distance. Anything good Cat got, I will try to get it before her. So she wouldn't be as successful in this life.

I turn the corner to the bathroom and took out a small mirror. It was an artifact that allow one to teleport to another opening within a small distant of a few miles.

It took me sixteen hops to get to my destination but I was there in time. It was two in the afternoon and the sun was out.

This time, the auctioneer was a woman and actually spoke at a normal speed: "Very well everybody, let's all line up. There's a total of nine units being auctioned this time, rules are the same no touch before, no entering!"

The first few where smaller units, so the bids were cheap. The first unit was 40$ and the second was 60$. The third storage unit sold for 100 dollars, and the excitement was waning as time went on.

Lots of people where shaking their heads as they look at the forth unit, it was empty except for a few books in a box.

I scan the unit and felt the bug in my finger swish. I knew that I was going to bid. The beetle slowly open it wings and move close to a book, it would seem that there was treasure here.

The auctioneer knew this as well, so she raised her hand and began. "We'll now auction off unit 58; let's say 50 dollars?"

The other people all shook their heads.

Seeing this, the auctioneer shouted, "Ten dollars anyone? How about ten dollars?"

At this, there was still no one, so the auctioneer raised her finger and said, "This is the last time—how about one dollar!"

It seemed to be a free unit, but no treasure hunter was that stupid. Despite nearly guaranteeing a 100 percent chance of profit, the fact remained that it still had no worth. Books were heavy and hard to sell. For Most one dollar unit, you were practically paying to be the cleaning lady.

"Me!"

"Very well. This young lady bid one dollar won unit 78. Let's move to the next unit." the auctioneer announced.

The bidding went along rather smoothly until the outdoor units were auction when Cat show up. I knew I had to get the biggest unit of the day, the unit she was going to win and find treasure.
