Trouble in Salem

Chapter Twelve- The Field

Come on then.. Winifred has her broom as she pulls y/n along with her out the door. Sitting on the broom as it hovers y/n holds on admiring the view from above. Flying over the woods y/n can see how big the sacred circle really is. Winifred flys off to the left and y/n sees a huge green field with a beautiful stream. Seeing Alice and Sarah splashing each other from above. "Childish"
Winifred grunts
"Alice still is a child she's 16"
"Sarah isn't"
"She's having fun Winnie, it doesn't hurt to get wet you know. Can't you swim?"
Winifred doesn't reply as she flys lower and lands throwing her broom down and linking arms with y/n. "Come on Winnie come for a swim..."
"No"
"Come on, when is the last time you truly had fun?"
Winifred looks hesitant. "Oh come on you and I are the same height if I can stand in the water then so can you, you insist on being attached at the hip so come on in"
Y/n pulls Winifred towards the stream, " you go" Winifred let's y/n go. "Ok I will"
Y/n takes off her dress and jumps in splashing Sarah and Alice. "Hey"
Gotcha... y/n laughs splashing Alice and Sarah.
"Can't Winnie swim?"
She never learnt... she has too much pride.
"I have an idea" y/n hops out and walks over to Winnie who's sat down under a tree. "Hey come on please come in the water. You know if in doubt you can use magic right? Just come stick your feet in?"
"Ugh fine"
Winifred stands and walks with y/n to the edge. Y/n hops back in, Winifred sits on the rock near the edge of the stream putting her legs in the water. Y/n swims closer to the rock popping her arms either side of Winifred before resting her arms on Winifred's legs. Come in Winnie, y/n offers a hand it's a little deeper than I thought but come on we won't let you drown.
"Fine but you take this to the grave"
Winifred unlaces her corset and slips her dress off, putting her arms around y/n's shoulders scooting off the rock into the water. "I've got you Winnie, I taught Alice to swim"
Y/n wraps her arms around Winifred's waist helping her float.
"All you need to do to keep afloat is kick your legs and move your arms, and keep your head up slightly.
Y/n let's go of Winifred's waist "wait don't let go"
Y/n offers a hand, "I'm right here, just kick your legs"
About half an hour later Winifred is swimming around with y/n and Sarah. Mary and Alice are sitting under the tree sunbathing. "I'm done for today", Sarah joins Mary and Alice under the tree.
Hey want to see a trick? Y/n says?
"Sure" Winifred says looking sceptical, y/n smiles and dives under the water.
"Where did you go?"
Y/n pops up under Winifred lifting her up on y/n's shoulders. "Agh hey"
Winifred shrieks making her sisters jump up. "It's ok sisters, I took her by surprise "
"Very funny put me down..."
Ok.. y/n ducks under water making Winifred fall backwards into the stream. Popping back up y/n splashes Winifred. Winifred looks annoyed, y/n splashes her again and again.
Enough!
Aw spoil sport, y/n hops out of the stream and Winifred follows. Laying down under the tree in the afternoon sun. The most fun we have had in ages, y/n is looking up when something touches her hand. Looking down she sees it's only Winifred's hand, y/n turns to face Winifred who's looking at y/n.
"Hey mum why not kiss her again?"
"Alice... shhh"
"Aw mum remember you said you find her squeaky laugh cute?"
"Omg Alice shut up" y/n says covering her face.
"You're redder than Mary's cape" hahahaha
Mary and Alice laugh. "Omg you two are so alike"
Y/n gets up and walks off down the path near an old well. Hearing Sarah, Mary and Alice laugh, "shut up" Winifred yells and walks after y/n.
Y/n's pov:
Crap now it's out, maybe it's not a bad ice breaker.. But there's no way she would feel the same she dated Billy, even though he broke her heart. Ugh"
This well must be so old, like the one from the ring. Y/n leans down to see if she can see the bottom. Nope!
"Don't lean too far down you'll fall" Winifred says from behind.
"Oh yes I don't want to be stuck down there", I'd prefer the dungeon "
"So.... You like my squeaky laugh do you?"
"Mhm I do" y/n doesn't turn around but stares into the well.
Winifred places her hands on y/n's shoulders gently squeezing them while rubbing y/n's shoulders. Moving her hands up and and down y/n's arms, which makes y/n sigh.
"What are you doing Winnie?"
Winifred moves her hands down to y/n's waist Winifred pulls y/n to her, using one arm to move y/n's hair away from her neck. Moving her mouth just near y/n's ear Winifred whispers "I am sorry little woman" let's go home....
Winifred moves her hands off y/n's waist turning to walk away. "Winnie wait"
Y/n grabs Winifred's hand and pulls her back into a hug. "I forgive you" y/n smiles wile looking into Winifred's eyes.
"Mum, come on let's go"
Alice shouts from behind, "yeah yeah we are coming"
Winifred has her broom "how do you do that? You don't have your broom one moment then you do the next?"
"It was sitting right there..... "
Ohhh....
"Come now little woman"
Y/n holds the broom with Winifred and it lifts off the ground, "can you teach me to fly?"
"Not yet, you need to learn the basics, potion recipes, spells and then flying and control"
"Cool, that'll be fun"
Leaning back into Winifred y/n looks up at her. "What is it little woman?"
Uh well are we going to talk about what happened at the field?
Later... Winifred lands the broom followed by Sarah and Mary. "Mum mum we are going to learn magic"
"Yes I know, remember the basics first"
"Yes mum, well Sarah and Mary are teaching me. They know all they know because of Winnie, so it'll be fun."
