The Salem Witch Trials

Salem Witch Trails Chapter 17

John stood frozen where he was as Sophia walked away. A part of him was telling him to brush it off but on the other hand he really had fallen for her without even knowing it. He only realized how deep he really was until they kissed... It was all meant for show. To get what he needed but it somehow turned into something more, and now that he has had it once he wants it again. Like a drug it kept reeling him in for more. But he had to put on a brave face and shake it off, that was the only way to remain friends with her. If he showed her he really cared he might scare her away and that would be bad for the both of them.

So once John found his legs again he staggered behind her until she stopped to get a drink. He slowly approached her not knowing what to say. But he had to keep her close to him.

"I'm sorry for putting you through that back there," he started off slowly. Once he realized she wouldn't respond he continued, "I would rather it go back to the way it was before than lose you." Another large pause filled the space again.

"Sophia?"

Nothing.

"Sophia?!"

Again nothing.

"SOPHIA!?!"

"What John?!?!" Just as the words came out she clamped a hand over her mouth backing away. John froze. He stood like this for a long time while Sophia ran, she had to get out of there. But before she could get far a noise behind her stopped her dead in her tracks.

"What did I say?!" Yelled Samuel, eyes gleaming with evil. Sophia said nothing. This was it, she was going to die right here right now because of some rash mistake.

Before she could respond Samuel had a knife in his hand and was approaching her hard and fast.  She tried to run but Samuel had already caught up to her and had her hands behind her back and knife at her neck. Before she could do anything she let out a ear-splinting scream, hoping to get John over here. But why would he come? She had betrayed him and now he knew it.

"What did I say about screaming?" Said Samuel as he dug the knife deeper into her flesh. She could feel the blood dripping down her neck and she was so close to death she could feel it. Adrenalin pasted hot and fast through her veins as she fought to get Samuel off her but failing miserably.

"I told you not to get close to him but you did it anyway. This is what happens to people to define Sir Samuel." But before he could strike for the last time someone jumped behind him and hit him in the back of the head. Samuel let go from shock but turned around to face a much startled John.

"You thought you could beat me? You are nothing more than a child," Samuel spat.

"You are the only child here," yelled John and with that he pulled the dropped knife off the wood floor and cut a gash along Samuels face. Before Samuel could react John had Sophia up and they were running through the woods as fast as there legs would carry them...
