Trouble in Salem

Chapter Eleven- The Parent Potion

"SISTERS, GET THE VIAL. Dawn approaches"
Y/n tries one last time to call Alice...
Voicemail:
Alice, if I don't see you again just know I love you. Even if you ignore me and don't come back to the cottage within two hours I'll most likely be dead. Please know that I love you" y/n hangs up and puts her phone on the table.
" Oh saying goodbye?"
Winifred smiles. "Yeah, I know you're going to kill me. Unlike my daughter I was taught to listen"
Winifred grabs y/n by the ear tugging her along towards the cauldron. "Ow ow ow" Winifred shoves y/n into the chair.
"Don't move"
Y/n sobs..... "I won't"
Mary and Sarah skip around the cauldron annoying Winifred. "Sisters stop and help me "
Mary and Sarah blow on the cauldron with Winnie and it glows green.
Y/n stares out the window seeing the sunrise slowly.
"Winifred can I see the last sunrise?"
Winifred motions for y/n to stand. Y/n walks to the window opening it as the sun rises over the horizon. "Tis time"
Winifred walked up behind y/n spinning her around and holding y/n to her chest holding y/n's chin with her right hand.
Mary and Sarah approach y/n Mary is holding the potion

Sarah puts her hands on the other side of y/n's face. Y/n opens her mouth and Mary pours the potion in y/n's mouth. Winifred covers y/n's mouth as she swallows.
"Sister? I thought the potion wouldn't work on her? Isn't she too old for the potion?" Mary asks winifred.
"She has sucked the life out of two people, therefore sisters she has some youth for us to steal. She will keep us alive, we lure children she can have a child or two sometimes and then we use her when we can't get a child. Just like the first time she was here. Till we find her daughter, then the torture begins"
Winifred turns y/n around letting go of her mouth "now sisters, take my hands"
Y/n stands as the sisters start sucking the life from her. Feeling light headed y/n falls forward right into Winifred. Who shoves y/n into Mary. Mary chuckles and shoves y/n into Sarah. Sarah holds y/n swaying while dragging her towards the open fireplace. Shoving her to the floor where y/n looses consciousness.
Sometime later y/n opens her eyes
"She's awake" Mary points at y/n.
"Ah good" Winifred claps her hands and walks over to y/n bending down grabbing a fistful of y/n's hair pulling her to her feet.
"Ouch" y/n shrieks. Winifred pulls on y/n's hair harder jerking her head back. Y/n places her hand on Winifred's "please stop"
Winifred drags y/n over to the chair while still holding her hair"
Sitting y/n down winifred let's y/n's hair go and shoves her backwards. Pointing at y/n Winifred has y/n bound to the chair.
"Is that necessary? You know I won't move" y/n snaps.
"Yes because you will this time Mary get the dagger"

Y/n watches as Mary grabs a huge looking dagger. "Dagger? That looks like a Bowie knife"
"A what?" Winifred tilts her head.
"It's a hunting knife"
"Oh..... No dear this is a ceremonial dagger straight from hell"
"Oh lovely. Given to you by Satan?"
Mhm. Winifred smiles.
"That is so cool, I've never seen it before?"
"Oh it's always been there, out of sight" Winifred smiles looking through the pages of book.
Sarah comes face to face with y/n "oh it's a shame I liked you"
Y/n smiles..... "in another lifetime maybe sarah"
Winifred laughs "oh there is no afterlife for you. You're not going to die right away. We may have found a solution to eternal youth that isn't child related. "
"Oh and I'm the Guinea pig ?"
"Yes"
Winifred walks over to y/n taking the dagger from Mary step back sisters. Winifred holds y/n's chin levelling her face with hers.
"Going to slit my throat winnie?" Y/n asks visibly trembling.
"I thought about it but no"
Mary and Sarah stand behind y/n holding y/n to the back of the chair.
Winifred raises the dagger to y/n's arm tracing the dagger down y/n's arm y/n follows with her eyes. Winifred has a sinister smile on her face, winifred turns y/n's arm around so her wrist is facing upwards.
Y/n gasps as Winifred slices y/n's wrist just deep enough to draw blood.
"Here winnie" Sarah holds a vial for Winifred to grab. "Well that won't work"
"Why?" Sarah asks.
"The cork Sarah" y/n says.
Ohhhh.... Pulling the cork off and handing it to Winifred. Winifred unties y/n's left arm turning it so the blood flows out into the vial.
Winifred then unties the rest of y/n's bonds and pulls y/n to her feet. "Stand here and don't move"
"Mhm"
Y/n rubs her wrist which stings. "Sisters come here now"
Winifred and her sisters stand around the altar and prick their fingers with the dagger mixing it with y/n's blood.
"That all? " Mary asks?
"No you great Buffoon, make another batch of the life potion"
"Yes winnie" sarah and Mary agree
"Come here" winifred demands. Y/n walks towards Winifred who links arms with y/n.
"Spit in the potion"
Y/n holds her hair back and spits.
"Good girl" Winifred says pulling y/n closer to her. "You will not leave my side"
"Yes winnie" y/n stays with Winifred for the duration of the potion making. "Now Mary pour the blood in the potion. If it works it'll glow bright red. And if it doesn't it'll remain green"
Sarah walks to the cauldron with Mary, smiling as Mary pours the blood in the potion.
As soon as the blood hits the potion it bubbles and starts changing colour.
"Sarah stir the potion"
Yes winnie.... Sarah stirs the potion. It turns blue, yellow, orange, purple and finally a deep red before changing colour one last time. A bright red!
