The Accused Witch

Part 15

"Rowena?"

"Oh! Mumhum?" Rowena jolted back to reality.

"Dessert?" Abigail was in the kitchen and holding up a box. Rowena nodded in response "Ill take a banana." Abigail gave her a banana and asked again "Do you want dessert?"

Rowena looked at the banana, she dint want to seem ignorant so she agreed to dessert.

                                                                                ❀ ❀ ❀

Rowena burst through the door and spotted mother "Mother! You will not believe what we had, we had lasagna and w-we had the best tasting dessert ever! it was cake! Cake! can you believe it? Abigail has cake every day! Oh and? And! They also have the big Extention houses and they have a room just for the food!"

"Tie your hair, it is horribly messy." That is all mother said before picking the toddler up and disappearing into the rooms.

"It's not messy..." Rowena grumbled as she looked at her hair in the reflection of the mirror. Her hair was a dark blueish-black. It looked black most of the time but in the sun you can clearly see the undertones of blue. She braided it into a tight, French braid and added ribbons to her hair. As she slumped onto her bed she felt like she could still taste the delicious lunch that she just got served.

Rowena glanced at the calendar on the wall. According to the news update that the judge wasn't feeling his best and needed to postpone, the trial was in a day.

The trial was in a day...

The Trial Was In A Day...

A DAY! 

One. Singular. Day. 

Twenty. Four. Hours!

At this point rowena was pacing back and forth in her room. She was muttering ideas and words of comfort to nobody but herself.

"You are going to be fine... Ill refuse to say anything! They will hang you. Ill say im a witch! But Im not... Accuse Abigail? No... Accuse philipa! But she was on trial its not going to work. But if i accuse someont then they will accuse two other people and they will acuse four people and... Nobody will be safe, Im not safe... The accusations will go around and come back to me."

But either way the trial was in a day, and Rowena had to figure out what to do before then or her fate was sertainly a public hanging.
