Sometime later there's a panicked knock at the door. "Please please help someone?"
Y/n walks over to the door opening it to see a child no older than 5 "help please"(this is a random google image, idk who's child this is but he's in my story now)
Y/n steps aside letting the child in "what happened?"
"M...my dad he hurt me and I ran into the woods to hide"
"You're safe here it's ok calm down" y/n assures the boy.
"Bbb....but don't you eat children? Like history says?"
No, not anymore, I promise. Tell me what is your name?
I am Augusto
"Who is your father?" Winifred asks... "he is the horrible man on the billboard"
"Ooooh the mayor" Sarah says. "You're the mayors son?" Y/n asks.
"Yes, please hide me he hurts me trying to tell me the word of god, he... he used his belt? Augusto trembles.
"Are you telling me this town is still run by Christian's who act as if it's 1650 something?" Winifred says annoyed.
Mhm.
"Ugh, we will keep you safe" Winifred smiles "come, sit, eat" Winifred holds her hand out and Augusto, takes Winifred's hand "what does your mother say?"
She's dead
Oh, right. Don't worry, for now eat and I'll make a bed for you. Come with me little woman.
"He will need to use Alice's old bed"
"I know Winnie, how are we going to keep him safe? It may be 2132 but this town doesn't change at all."
They won't venture into the woods they wouldn't dare, I will deactivate the curse tonight that way they'll never find him.
What curse?
"The one on the woods, anyone who steps foot in there that isn't a witch will get lost. They won't find the house."
Oh handy.
Your sisters are watching Augusto, you get the sheets and I'll prepare the bed. Winifred walks to the cupboard and grabs the sheets. Y/n pulls out the settle bed and opens it. Winifred makes the bed. "It'll be nice having a child around again"
I guess so Winifred says "don't worry darling we can still have time together "
"I know little woman" Winifred pulls y/n close kissing her "we should settle Augusto in"
Hand in hand Winifred and y/n walk downstairs. "Sister look Augusto is a unicorn" Sarah says placing party hats on Augusto.
Y/n laughs "aren't I pretty?" Augusto says smiling. "Yes, come on Augusto, brush your teeth and y/n will read you a story"
"But I have no pyjamas"
"We have spare pyjamas that aren't girly" y/n smiles. "Come on I'll show you Augusto" y/n takes his hand and takes him upstairs. "Here is the bathroom, you can use this toothbrush it's brand new. Still in the packet, "do you have a teddy I can sleep with?"
"Yes, I'll put it on your bed, here is your pyjamas no need to hurry I'll leave you to change"
Y/n walks to the cupboard grabbing out a teddy that belonged to Alice, magically cleaning it. "Alice's teddy?"
"Yes Winnie I think he needs it, and maybe Alice would like that. For her favourite teddy and book to live on."
"Her favourite book is old now"
"Yes but it's cute, it was my favourite too when I was in kindergarten. It's adorable"
"I'll leave you to tuck him in ok?"
"Ok Winnie, I'll be down once he falls asleep"
Augusto walks out of the bathroom and climbs into the bed. "Is this the teddy?"
"Yes Augusto, it was my daughters teddy when she was small."
Where is she?
She died 130 years ago
Really? Can you tell me stories about you and the Sanderson sisters?
Sure Augusto, "when is the last time you killed a child."
About 200 years ago, we don't need to kill children anymore. Winifred found another way that doesn't involve harming children. "How did it work?"
