Trouble in Salem

Chapter Twenty Eighty- Where Are They?

"Are you sure they didn't leave because of me?"
"I'm sure Brandon, I'm guessing it's something witchy and they are dealing with it. They'll be home later."
Why don't they text?
They still very much live like it's 1684. Even I still have my old iPhone 12 Pro Max and it's really old now they have an iPhone 59 pro max plus 3 now. It's so expensive and the crappy job I have I can't even afford rent. At least this place isn't on the market and we can live without electricity. We have solar power thanks to me."
"I just feel it's my fault"
"It's not your fault Brandon, come on enjoy your cake"

Happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday dear Brandon
happy birthday to you
"Make a wish"
Brandon blows out the candles, "can I cut the cake?"
Y/n hands Brandon a knife and he cuts a slice. "For you and for me."
"Brandon you missed something"
What?
Y/n smooshes a piece of cake into Brandon's face "hey haha" Brandon smooshes a piece into y/n's face. Laughing at each other y/n and Brandon wipe the cake off each other and take photos.
"I'll print this now watch this magic trick"
Y/n points at her phone and the photos appear "thats cool"
" Enjoy your presents for awhile before bed I'll clean up"
"Ok mother" Brandon runs upstairs.
Y/n walks outside for a moment "where are they?" Y/n looks around where are they? Y/n walks around the house. No sign of them. Y/n walks back inside "sigh"

"Brandon time for bed"
Can you tell me a story?
"Of course, how about I tell you of one inside?"
Inside?
Jail?
Sure
Well, it was horrible in there the first night the sisters and I were separated. The guards were paid to torture us. The tried to poison me, cut my head off, electrocute me and worse. They kept us apart, but we worked around it. Food time, shower time and recreation time outside. Eventually Winifred and I did end up in the same cell but it took 20 years. We had grown so far apart it didn't matter anymore.
"Don't you love her?"
I always will love her but she's very distant from me ever since she got out two weeks ago. She needs time to process I know but I know how she feels. I have a horrible feeling that she met someone in there and that's why she's sad.
"Why would you think that?"
Because Brandon I've known her for centuries and she is acting different. We have all suffered depression but this is worse and I think Winnie and her sisters are trying to get rid of it. There's a spell in book, it they are going to wipe out all her emotions. It'll be Magica maxima all over again. But I'll loose her not her loosing her sisters.

"Aw mother talk to her"
"I will, good night Brandon"
Y/n walks downstairs and cleans up from the party, which only takes a few moments because y/n uses magic. Y/n waits for an hour making sure Brandon is asleep before flying over Salem to find the sisters. Y/n flys to the sacred circle seeing the sisters there. Y/n lands, "what is going on?"
"Winnie is in a trance we can't break it. She wanted to do the spell to erase emotions. We wouldn't help, she got mad so we stayed out of it. Now she is in a trance, where is Brandon?"
"He's at home sleeping Sarah. He's ok"
Winnie? Y/n clicks her fingers hello Winnie?
"Mary Sarah which spell did she do?" Mary and Sarah share a look "she didn't?"
"Yes she did we are sorry sister" Mary says.

Winnie? Y/n approaches why would you want to hide your emotion? What happened in jail? Did you cheat?
Winifred snaps out of the trance "little woman why would you ask that?"
You want to hide your emotions, you hardly even look at me anymore. You disappear for hours what is going on?
Winifred looks at Sarah and Mary but doesn't respond. "Ugh, fine be that way I have to get back home to make sure my son is safe"
Y/n flies off and lands outside the cottage. Walking back inside, walking upstairs checking on Brandon, he's sound asleep. Y/n changes and crawls into bed. Moments later Winifred and the sisters come home walking up the stairs quietly. Sarah and Mary go to bed Winifred sits on her side of the bed. "Little woman I know you're awake, come on look at me. We didn't do the spell. The trance was for another reason"
Such as?
Winifred sighs "i don't want to be immortal anymore, my sisters and I are done with being alive. We have at least 329 years on you. You've been alive for 29 years less than us but we are bored with life"
