My Crazy Witch

The Hanging

Sarah's POV:
I was luring a Child to her demise. She was being tricked into coming with me. It felt wrong but I had to earn Winnie's approval so that she didn't leave me out to rot, like an old potion. Winnie was known to be a bit controlling. Winifred Sanderson wad my oldest sister. She had ginger, curly hair that was always in an up-do. My other older sister was called Mary. Mary Sanderson. She had brown hair which was often held in a messy bun.

As I was saying, I had just been playing with a child in the long grass in the fields. I think its name was Emily. It was an ugly thing, but most children are. We were spinning around as I was singing to her. "Come little children, I'll take thee away, into a land of enchantment. Come little children, the time's come to play, here in my garden of magic." I sang repeatedly.

She seemed to like me. Even though she was ugly and I did want to stay alive, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of shame in leading her to my sister. I had to survive somehow and frankly, I wasn't going to have any girls falling for me if I was seemingly an old crone.

Thackery's POV:
   I woke up in my small bedroom, expecting to see my little sister nearby. "Emily?" I asked, expecting an answer. There came no reply. I walked over to her bed and noticed she wasn't there. "EMILY!" I screamed in concern. I dashed out of the house to find my best friend. "Awake my father and inform the others!" I ordered him. He nodded and rushed off.

I ran towards a field of long grass. I saw my sister playing with an older-looking woman. She was singing a song to my sister. "Come little children, I'll take thee away, into a land of enchantment. Come little children, the time's come to play, here in my garden of magic." She sang. 'Is that a Sanderson sister?' I wondered to myself. I snapped out of my thoughts and ran through the field. "EMILY!" I kept yelling, in hope my sister would hear me.

I ran through a hedge as I saw her go through the exact same one. I kept yelling her name. I was running so fast that I didn't notice the tall hill that I was approaching in the woods, and fell right down it. I felt nothing but worry. I kept running.

Soon after, I saw the woman take my sister into a cottage that had the word 'Sanderson' written on the door. 'She is a Sanderson.' I thought. One of the sisters closed the door behind the woman that stole my sister. I walked up to the house. I stepped on a branch and it broke. One of the sisters must have heard me.

An different older-looking woman opened a window and looked out. She had ginger hair and large teeth. I hid next to a water wheel. The water was freezing and rather unpleasant, but I was determined to save my sister. The other two sisters popped out of a side door and looked for the cause of the sound that I had created. "Mary!" Came a voice from the inside. I assumed it was the ginger lady. "Coming Winnie!" Mary said. "Sarah I'll need you too!" She yelled. "Yes sister." Said a woman who looked like the one who took my sister.

I crept in through an open window to see my sister being circled by the women. "Itcheta copeta maleka mystica." Chanted Mary and Sarah, as Winnie was reciting a spell. She brewed a potion in a cauldron. It shone bright Green. "Dead man's toes!" Sarah exclaimed. She danced around holding a box of old toes. She giggled and span around. I could tell she was a little bit ditsy.

Winnie took a toe out of the box and threw it in the mix. "Now sisters! Some of thine own tongue!" Winnie yelled. The sisters bit of sections of their tongues in disgust and spat it in the cauldron. "Ow..." Sarah mumbled. Winnie hit her very hard on the face. She winced and rubbed her face. I could see a few tears form in her eyes. I knew she'd just kidnapped my sister but I couldn't help but feel slightly bad for her. She let a few tears roll down her face and Winnie just rolled her eyes.
