The Witch Wife

Part 12: Wake

This chapter is dark. Read at your own caution.

BANG! BANG! RISE AND SHINE LOUD!

Lynn shot up from her uncomfortable jail bed and stood up. She was dressed in the usual prison outfit and had huge bags under her eyes. She had a terrible night since the memories of her actions haunted her greatly. Sighing...she stepped out of her cell and went to the mess hall.

"Woah. Last night was hard on you." She heard Lori say. Lori also looked terrible, but Lynn didn't want to comment on it. Things were already tough as it is and saying the wrong thing can make things worse for them all. 

"I couldn't go to sleep. You know...regret." Lynn said as she went to grab her meal and sit down with her family. Her father was going to be moved to the men prison after the trial so she wanted to spend some time with him.

"It'll be okay sweetie. We just need to..." Rita began to say before another inmate banged their fist against the table. She had strong muscles and a beautiful face...however Lynn didn't like how she was looking at her mother, Lori, Leni and Luan. 

"Can we help you?" Lynn Junior asked while trying to restrain herself. 

"I just wanted to greet the newbies after all...we're all heading to the Women's Correctional Facility after our trials are done. Besides you're going to need all of the help that you can get inside." The inmate said.

"We can handle ourselves so..." Lori began to say before she felt the inmate continued to speak and look at her. She didn't like the look that she was receiving especially since the inmate also looked at her mother and two of her sisters with the same look. 

"I insist and maybe...we can have fun with each other." The inmate said. Lynn was about to shout at her before the inmate left their table. There was an uncomfortable silence surrounding the table after she left. 

"I don't feel safe anymore." Luan said.

"You're telling me. She was looking at four of us like trophies or something." Lori said. Rita wanted to calm her children's worries, but felt some fear too. That woman was dangerous and she had to keep an eye out for her. However, she was far too deep in her thoughts to notice the woman staring at her with a creepy smile on her face.

At the same time, Lana was eating some food in the mess hall. They all didn't sleep well last night and were wondering when Lola would be allowed back with the others. She was still locked up since the guards feared that she would do something them or any of the other people there.

"It's weird that Lola isn't here." Lana said.

"Well, we can't exactly do anything about that. Since she wasn't behaving last night. She will have to be isolated for a while before getting back here with us. Besides, we need to talk about taking a plea deal." Lisa said.

"A plea deal?" Lisa said. 

"Yes, think about it...if we don't then we could be forced to spend a longer sentence. That means spending almost all of our lives in jail until we're legal adults." Lisa said.

"I see." Lana said.

"I know that you don't want to hear this, but we can't spend all of our lives here besides...there have been several cases of prisoners getting away with anything in prison. We need to think of ways to avoid that so if there is a deal...take it." Lisa said. Lana nodded and continued to eat. They needed the strength to get through the day after all. 

Several hours later, Rita was going to take a shower. She looked around carefully to see if anyone was around. Luckily, she didn't see anyone so she slowly undressed herself unaware that someone was coming inside as well.

"Hello again." A voice said. Rita slightly jumped and turned around. Only to see that innate that gave her creepy vibes when she was in the mess hall.

"Um, nice to see you to. Are you also going to take a shower?" Rita asked.

"Yep. This is the only time that we get some privacy after all." The inmate said. Rita nodded and turned on the water on one of the shower stalls. She could hear the woman also turning on one of the shower stalls to watch herself too. It would've been peaceful if Rita felt safe alone with the woman. 

She was so into her thoughts that she hardly noticed that the woman stopped taking her shower and turned towards Rita. She couldn't hear the footsteps nor the hands that were coming dangerously close to her body before it was too late.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter...Bye 😄
