"Wake up little woman" Winifred shakes y/n trying to wake her with no luck. "Oh no"
SISTERS GET IN HERE NOW! Winifred yells. Moments later there's heavy footsteps and Mary, Alice and Sarah walk in.. "what is wrong?" Y/n won't wake up I fear she is trapped in a dream state by..... Golgotha. She encountered him last night.
"Oh he's back?" Mary says concerned. "Yes and we need to wake y/n or she will never wake up"
Wait who's Golgathaer? And what does he have over my mother?
Ugh it's Golgotha and he... is an awful man from my time, a man I rejected, got his sister hung, I have her blood. He wants her because I gave her the pendulum...... "blood of his sister? And he wants it back? Or he wants to harm mum to hurt you?"
"Possibly, come we need to go to the sacred circle"
"Will mum be safe? I can't loose her"
She won't die, she's safe it's daylight one moment. "Winifred takes the pendulum and shows Alice."
"Ew, so some girls blood is in that and some guy is after it to what being her back?"
Listen Alice like I told your mother ; Golgotha and his sister Diana were in love with me, I did not like them. Church goers who came to us for witchcraft knowledge. I turned his sister in, he left and came back the night we were hanged in 1993. Now he's back again, your mother survived the attack but he's up to something"
"Can you help her Winnie?"
Possibly... I know his endgame this will be the key. We are going to set a trap come on...
"Sister, he isn't more powerful than you" Mary gloats
"Yes, he never was"
"Hm we will see come, Mary you take Alice, hurry. " Winifred hurries downstairs followed by her sisters and Alice. "We aren't flying?" Alice asks. "No we have to walk, it's daylight"
Oh but mum?
Winifred sighs.. "she will be ok, hurry " rushing out the door the sisters and Alice leave y/n asleep in the bed. Winifred charges ahead and the sisters find it hard to keep up "w.win...winnie slow down..."
"Hurry up"  Winifred yells, climbing the hill up towards the sacred circle. "Ok here we lay the trap, he will come back here in two moons. Sarah you don't remember but two months before we were hanged Golgotha had done the same thing to Sarah. She was asleep for two months before waking, completely unaware of what happened. And then shortly after we were hanged"
"So he wants mum out of the way? Or is it a distraction?"
"Most likely, so we need to train you and fast. If you want to help your mother you must stay alive"
"I am too scared Winifred... I was just a skeptic a month ago, now I have powers. I use to mock my mother now I wish I listened. "
"Well dear, it's either learn or die. Not by my hand but his and if he resurrects his sister Diana forget it. So listen to us ok? For your mothers sake"
"Ok ok, what is this trap?"
Winifred plucks a piece of hair from her head dropping it. "Now you do it"
"Uh ok" Alice does the same, Sarah and Mary follow. If we leave some here he will know we are plotting something. Your mother said she saw him that night of the sacred circle, he will come back. And we shall be ready for him"

"Come on now, we need to get back to the cottage, sisters you train Alice today at the field. Be careful flying ok?" "Yes sister"
Sarah, Mary and Alice hurry along ahead of Winifred towards the cottage to get their brooms. Winifred walks slower thinking to herself the last moments before Diana was taken "I sure didn't want to turn her in but they hurt Sarah and he had to pay, now he's doing the same to me. Only this time it wasn't Sarah because she's stronger. Damn" as Winifred approaches the cottage Mary flies off with Alice and Sarah follows. Winifred opens the door and walks upstairs to check on y/n.
"Still fast asleep? In a cold sweat? Fever?" Winifred picks y/n up and moves her downstairs to the couch. "Book come here" book hovers towards Winifred and drops in her arms. Is there anything for fever? Book flicks to a page to cause fever... "no no book I mean a spell to rid fever"
Book shakes. "Ugh, I guess I'll have to use that herbal medicine like a mortal"
Winifred grabs a wash cloth and soaks it in cold water ringing it out and wiping it all over y/n to cool her down. Y/n flinches in her comatose state groaning "cold" y/n utters... "I know it's cold little woman, it'll help"
Five minutes later Winifred puts the cloth away and props y/n up supporting her head. Cupping her face Winifred looks at y/n. "Sigh"
Oh I have no idea what to do, it's magic related but this... This will take good magic to heal her. Maybe Alice can help with her phone, or y/n's phone.
Winifred hurries upstairs to grab y/n's phone "ok so how does this open? Unlock? Password? Damn"
Walking back down to y/n Winifred shakes y/n "tell me what is the password?"
Y/n groans. "Helpful"
Winifred holds the phone closer to her face "face not recognised "
Huh? Winifred is confused. "Ah I see it scans her face"
Winifred holds the phone to y/n's face and it unlocks. "Ok so the internet? Where is the internet?"
I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that? Siri responds
"Uh I need healing"
"Sorry I don't understand " Siri responds. "How does this work?" Alice can help later ugh no wonder y/n gets annoyed with this thing. Winifred puts the phone down and paces, "ok think, I should know how to make something....."Winifred walks to the dusty bookshelf scanning the books. "Nothing" Winifred throws the books off the shelf in a rage placing her hands on her temples.
Winifred has an idea "Gilbert"
Grabbing her broom Winifred flys to the old cottage which isn't far, landing on the doorstep, opening the door. Startling customers inside as the door slams against the wall. Walking over to the counter where Gilbert stands with shocked customers....
"Gilbert, what do you know about modern herbal medicine?"
Winifred Sanderson?
Yes?
"I work at the local free clinic I'm a herbalist, if you like I can assist?"
Winifred sighs....... "Yes, well you see my friend is cursed and it's good magic. She has a fever and I can't do anything. I can't take her to the hospital because it's magical related."
"Ok, did you give her anything? Pain meds or medicine?"
"What kind? I have no idea about modern medicine......"
