The Boy in the Witches Tower

Episode 2: Outside the tower

Where am I?...

Suddenly, all the memories of yesterday flooded my mind, i have to close my eyes for a second. This can't be true.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mother never returned home. She had been gone for an entire day. I was scared. She told me never to leave the tower under any circumstances, not even if she disappeared...,

i never understood why she could go, but i can't... even when she would tell me it was for my safety

i was told it was for my own good, that i was safe from the evil world, and no one could hurt me if i listened to her and stayed in the tower,

i never had a reason to leave she said,

i was curious at times, and i wanted to explore, but she would sit me down and tell me of all the worlds evil and how she was the only one who could protect me.

so i stopped asking and went along with her words...to never leave the tower.

that was until the strange men took me, i tried to hide and keep them away. Mother said they were evil and they would hurt me.

i was hiding in my mothers wardrobe when one of the large men in armor harshly grabbed me by my hair and flung me to the ground ...it hurt so bad

i cried and screamed while kicking and thrashing, 'hoping' they would let me go

well....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

they didn't, and now i am tied up, shoulders and all like a rogue witch* at the stake, in the back of a covered cart,

when i feel a shaking, i am further brought out of my thoughts when one of the scary fairies grabs me by the rope secured near my neck

"stop day dreaming and look alive. You have important people to meet." he groused and shook me up while keeping me balanced

"And let me warn you now," he got closer and more menacing. "If you so much as scream you will, be delt with.." he gritted out the last bit for effect, and boy did it work.

i hastily nodded and relaxed my body to show him. i mean, it

"Good, let's go."
