Trouble in Salem

Chapter Five Sundown

Y/n opens her eyes, "grunting and groaning" sitting up slowly seeing Alice sitting at the table eating. "Mum!" Alice puts her food down and runs over to y/n hugging her "oh mum I'm glad you're ok"
I'm glad you're ok Alice "mum can we really leave?"
Yes but we have to come back, "why mum why?"
I didn't ask, I think we should do as Winifred says or we may actually die "I know mum"
Y/n cups Alice's face "please this time I beg you listen to me"
I will mum, "this time " Alice chuckles and kisses y/n on the cheek

Y/n walks over to the table and grabs a piece of toast "mmmm so good"
It's just toast mum "I haven't eaten in ages"
It's only been two days "oh has it?"
I found your phone, "you have a missed call"
Oh no, it's my boss "what will you tell him?"
Idk out of town for the last two days? "Family issues?"

I'll tell the school the same, visiting family outside Salem "excellent idea Winifred says"
Making Alice jump, because it was sudden "behind her"
Haha jumpy?
"A little yes" Alice says
Alice hugs y/n and y/n hugs Alice "they both sway"
Winifred puts her hands on y/n's shoulders looking over at Alice. "Alice backs up, she's scared of Winifred " y/n rubs Winifred's hands with hers not sure what to say or do. "Winifred pulls y/n back into her, drapes her arms around y/n"
Are you hugging mum? "Alice asks"
Winifred wraps her arm around y/n upwards towards her face "stroking her face"
Y/n gulps "Winifred smiles" Winifred sways with y/n not saying anything "y/n is visibly scared wide eyed staring at Alice"
Winifred I uh "Alice shudders"
Winifred still has her arms around y/n moving her arms around y /n's waist "one arm around y/n's neck" not tight just in a hug.
"Mum?, Im going to be late for school" we should go Alice reaches her hands out to y/n.
Y/n reaches her hands out and holds Alice's hands. "Winifred let's go of y /n but pulls her back "remember no cops, come back here at sundown" Winifred says in y/n's ear "y/n trembles a little but it's not fear"
We will, but could you take us home please? Y/n asks "so, uh we can change clothes and freshen up?"
Winifred puts an arm around y/n "of course"
"come on Alice".
Winifred grabs her broom and walks out the door "Alice and y/n follows behind"
"How will this work with three people?" Alice asks Winifred
"Well you are shorter than your mother and I so you sit in front"
And mum? "She'll sit behind me"
Winifred hops on the broom pulling Alice onto her lap "uh what do I hold onto?" Winifred puts her arms around Alice placing Alice's hands on the broom "obviously the broom handle"
How will you steer? "Winifred rolls her eyes" easy.
Coming? "Winifred smiles at y/n"
Yep, y/n looks at the broom and at Winifred "are you sure the broom can fly three people?"
Yes, come along "ok Winifred "
"Call me Winnie"
Y/n sits behind Winifred wrapping her arms around winifred from behind "y/n reaches forward and rubs Alice's shoulder"
Winifred flys upwards "Woah, y/n and Alice say"
Oh calm down Winifred says "chuckling"
Y/n hugs Winifred tightly "oh not so tight" Winifred says, "sorry" y/n loosens her grip placing her head on Winifred's shoulders. "Winifred chuckles"
We are really high Omg Alice screams "shhh Alice not so loud" y/n says
Oh it's alright no one will hear us up here "really?"
Yes really, "Winifred flys downwards" ah Alice grips the broom tighter
Winifred holds Alice with one hand, steering with the other "thank you"
Winifred gets lower to the ground "Alice hops off" y/n slowly hops off too "thank you Winnie "
See you tonight "Winifred flys off"

Omg you are ok? Billie says! Alice and y/n share a look "we are ok" had to visit family "but the witch?"
Oh yes she gave us a lift!
She didn't want anything? Billie asks "no she didn't"
You both look like hell "long flight y/n chuckles"

Alice runs inside, y/n follows "Alice runs upstairs and goes into the bathroom"
Y/n cries "Omg Omg"
Breathing in and out "y/n washes her face and waits for Alice. "Once Alice is done y/n showers"
By the time y/n is done it's 8am "Mum we are late"
It's ok I called the school and work, I have a note for you "it's ok " let's go
