Trouble in Salem

Chapter Twenty Three- Gone

Winifred? Hello? Sarah? Mary? Mum? Alice calls walking inside. "Is she here? She didn't reply to your last message and it doesn't look like anyone has been here for years?"
"Idk Louise something is weird"
"Alice there's a notice here. They have been arrested"
"What? We need to go to townhall now" Alice runs out to the car and Louise follows closing the door. Alice hops in the drivers seat and honks "come on Louise"
"I'm coming hold on" Louise gets in the car and Alice drives to townhall, parking and hurrying inside followed by Louise.
"Hey excuse me, I'm looking for my mother? She lived with the Sanderson sisters at the old cottage. I went to visit and they aren't there. There was an arrest notice on the table?"

"Sure miss and your mothers name?"
"Y/n Saunders, please I haven't seen her in years"
"One minute" the man walks out back to grab a file. "Do you think she?"
No no Louise don't even say it, I don't think they can die human like. If I remember correctly Winifred cast that magic spell for ultimate power, not Magica maxima but another.
"Oh, ok. Hey isn't that the book...?" Louise points to the display case.
"Yes, it's book. He won't wake up for anyone but Winifred "
"So cool, I'm gonna go say hello to it." Louise walks over to the case the book is sitting in. "Hey book hello remember me? I am Louise Alice's friend. Is her mother dead?"

"Miss Saunders? Your mother is in the local mail with the Sanderson sisters. If you want to visit her you'll need to fill out this form and take it to the jail, you can fill it out over there."
"Thank you, so she's alive?"
Yes, she's alive. "Phew" Alice smiles and walks off to the next bench to fill out the form.
"So she's ok?" Louise asks.
"She's fine... we'll alive at least, any luck with book?"
"Nope, you try"
"No not now, I need to fill this out to see her.
"They make it so hard don't they?"
Yeah...
Ten minutes later Alice takes the form to the jail, this "place is creepy"
"I know Louise, but I need to see mum"
Walking to the door opening it Alice walks to reception, "uh hi I have a form to see my mother? Y/n Saunders?"
Hi Miss Saunders we have been waiting for you.
"Huh? I'm confused why?"
Are you a witch too? The receptionist asks
No, I'm not. Can I see my mother or not? Officer uhhhh McDonald.
"Yeah we will process this you and your friend wait over there"
Alice sits and talks to Louise while the guard processes the paperwork.

Meanwhile inside
"hey Saunders I heard your daughter and her girlfriend is here."
Louise? She's my daughters friend, just because I am a lesbian doesn't mean it's hereditary.
Are you sure you don't have a little dyke?
Yes, y/n rolls her eyes "ugh I will get her later for that remark"

Y/n has been in jail for five years along with the sisters. The jail tries to separate them all but yard time they have no choice. Y/n walks to the other side of the jail to the bar's separating the prisoners. Seeing Winifred walk by "hey Winnie, Alice is here I heard she's waiting"
Winifred walks to the bars, "oh she is after all this time?"
"I was surprised too, gosh she would've gone to the house to see it empty. Poor girl"
"Oh she'll be ok little woman"
Seen your sisters lately?
"Yes, earlier in the shower block. Some butch woman was trying to shank Sarah so I smashed her face into the mirror. Nobody messes with my family"
"Good on you." Y/n kisses Winifred through the bars.
MOVE ALONG YOU TWO!
"Yes sir"
"See you outside Winnie" y/n waves and walks back towards the other side of the jail towards the kitchen. "Saunders you have a visitor"
Y/n walks with the guard to the common room. "Mum" Alice smiles and hugs y/n
What are you in jail? What happened?
Sit and I'll explain
Sitting down y/n explains "well you see we got caught stealing souls. They tried to kill us many times. Fire, poison, beheading, hanging. It won't work so we have life in prison. Our life sentence is 110 years. We will outlive all the guards and people anyway, legally the system has to let us go after the 110 years. Although Winnie has longer in here she kills anyone who messes with her sisters.
She's top dog?
Well duh of course, she's the worst.
Oh mum, but you?
No one messes with me because I'm with her.
Can you still perform the craft?
"Shhh" y/n nods
You're not stealing souls how are you so young?
Secrets I can't talk about here Alice, where is Louise?
Waiting out there, she's not approved because she has nobody in here.
