Trouble in Salem

Chapter Nine Hear No Evil

"Mum, mum wake up" Alice shakes y /n awake. I have to go back to school today "I heard that Stephanie and Cheyenne went missing last night" after the party.
"My friend Tracy texted me, telling me they went missing after the party"
Oh no, who? y/n says "have they been found?"
"No mum, I said they were missing, silly" And you know the two girls who bullied me?
Didn't you punch one?
"No that was someone else"
Winifred stirs "Alice gasps and backs up" "Alice it's ok, I'll get up and make breakfast, take you to school and I should get to work"
I've got another big presentation to work on "my boss is a total cu.... " y/n clears her throat, a total cut throat man"
"Mum, such language " Alice chuckles "hehe, y/n laughs"
Winifred grabs a pillow and hits y/n over the head "be quiet will you little woman. ?" Y/n chuckles "sorry Winnie"

Alice chuckles and walks out, "I'll be there in a moment" ok mum "Alice makes kissy noises, laughing and running out of the room"
"Y/n throws a pillow missing Alice"
Y/n laughs, looking over at Winifred who's not amused "oh come on smile, Winnie" y/n says leaning down slightly.
Winifred reaches up and  grabs y/n by the scruff of her shirt and pulls her down close "y/n stares, Winifred's facial expression changes from annoyance to a grin"

"It seems my spell worked, Alice doesn't remember"
Well that's a good thing, y/n says "she's not the best liar and has a horrible poker face"
"Winifred chuckles, oh little woman"
" Y/n leans down touching Winifred's nose with hers "
Winifred let's go of y/n's scruff and puts her arms around y/n rolling her onto her back, "Woah"
Winifred sits up slightly looking down at y/n leaning forward but stopping inches above y/n's lips. "Y/n is thinking: maybe I should make a move?"
Y/n takes a breath and moves her head up, kissing Winifred "winifred pulls away"
Y/n sits up slightly and puts her arms around winifred, "hey, Winnie it's ok you know?"
What is little woman? "Winifred asks curiously "
I see you look at me, "it's ok"

I.I uh, "Winifred clears her throat" y/ n moves her arms so Winifred can get up but Winifred stops y/n moving her arms "hugging y/n" nervous? Y/n smiles "kisses Winifred on the cheek"
Winifred smiles and gets off the bed.
"mum?"
Alice pops her head in the door, "I'm coming hang on Alice"
Alice rolls her eyes and walks away "so, little woman are you ready for later?"
Yes, I guess so "ohh don't worry, like I said the guilt will pass"
Winifred hugs y/n from behind "hmmm y/n says happily"

Winifred let's y/n go and they walk out the door "RAWR" Alice jumps out scaring y/n and Winifred "hahaha got you"
"Omg Alice you nearly gave me a heart attack"
Alice runs downstairs "she got you too didn't she?"
Winifred rolls her eyes "yes"
It's just a harmless prank! "I could've shocked her, she should be careful"
Y/n walks down the stairs "makes some coffee and cooks breakfast "
Hungry? Y/n asks the sisters "oh yes Mary says, No just coffee Sarah says"
Winnie? "Hm maybe toast"
Ok, here you go y/n hands Winnie a plate "takes a bite of her own toast"
Ok mummy I have to go to school "Alice hugs y/n and runs upstairs to change into her uniform"
Y/n finishes her coffee "I have to go to work" I'll take Alice to school and I'll be back later.
"Yes little woman you will be, tonight is the night you drain your first life"
Oh really Winnie? Sarah asks
Is she ready? Mary asks
"She will be" Winifred says putting her hands on y/n's shoulders "won't you?"
Yes Winnie, I will be "gulp"
Mary and Sarah stand by y/n "Sarah puts her hand on y/n's face"
Mary puts her hand on y/n's other shoulder, "now little woman, after you finish work Sarah and Mary will bring you back here"
We have much to prepare for "what about Alice?"
Oh she'll be fine, she'll ask to go to Tracy's later "let her"
Oh ok "Mum?" Alice calls out.... "Can I go to Tracy's for a sleep over?"
Yes, you can, pack a bag "I have" ok sweetie I'll take you to school.
It's ok I'll walk "alright Alice,"
Bye mum, Alice leaves closing the door. "See little woman, I told you"
Y/n smiles "was that psychic? Or a spell?"
Neither Winnie heard her talking to Tracy "Sarah says"
Oh even I didn't hear that "300 years worth of listening to people" Winnie says tapping her ear and smiling "and listening to annoying sisters"
"Haha" y/n laughs, "oh I need to go I'm gonna be late"
Bye girls y/n says grabbing her lunch from the fridge "hurrying out the door"
Phew, tonight I officially become a witch!
"Walking to the office, y/n stops by the cafe, orders her usual coffee and bagel"
Waiting for the food y/n overhears "that's her, that girl that is friends with the witches. Her and that child"
The child is a sacrifice i bet. "They giggle, y/n takes her food and coffee, excuse me? Just to let you know the child is my child and no she's not a sacrifice. But you will be if you keep talking trash" bye. "They stop laughing and look away"
Y/n walks out of the cafe and into the office building "Becca is at the elevator , morning y/n says"
Oh hi, Becca says "Hm, she's still not talking to me ok" y/n thinks.... "Ding, y/n walks to her office, turns the computer on. "Good it's fixed"
Y/n eats breakfast while working on the presentation "phew another one"
Clicking away y/n didn't hear Ernest call "he knocks on the door" um hello?
Y/n looks up Hm? "Sorry?"
Staff meeting now "ok, y/n locks her computer and follows Ernest into the conference room"
We are planning a witch hunt "you all have to join us or you're fired"
What? Y/n says? You know it's illegal in this day an age right? "We don't care those witches are killing children "
There's no proof of that " let the police do their job"
