Ch: 2

[a bit of a fast chapter, I'm heading somewhere today]

Howdy was Praying by the alter with Julie sally and poppy, barnaby was putting his rosary on the alter, Frank and Eddie were talking to each other by the church's doors.

"Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those-" howdy stoped as he now heard people shouting and cheering outside the church, Julie and sally looked behind them toward the doors and so did the other's.

Howdy listened for a couple more seconds before getting off of his knees and walked toward the church doors, Frank and Eddie moved out of the way, howdy grabbed the churches handles and pulled them open, he saw the Towns people almost marching while walking, some people carrying different sized stones and others were walking with their children, howdy looked at the others in confusion.

then they heard a woman shouting, howdy's eyes widened as he saw two priests from the same church drag the woman he saw days ago by the arms as she struggled to get lose from their grasp.

Howdy walked out of the church and followed the people through the crowds trying to get to the priests to ask them what is going on.

Then people stopped walking as they reached a field with a long wooden steak.

"Go Back to hell, you witch!" Someone shouted, howdy moved toward the other priests followed by Julie, sally, barnaby, Frank and Eddie, poppy.

"What is the meaning of this?" Howdy asked before the priests brought the woman to the center and dropped her down, then howdy saw the town's admonish come toward the center as well.

"People of the enclosure, this woman here by today, will be victimized for the doings, of Witchcraft!" The man said, people started To shout and cheer, "this woman's husband, claimed to have saw her covered in blood talking to a subordinate evil spirit!" The man said as he turned toward the headsman before nodding his head, the headsman walked toward the woman and grabbed her by the hair pulling her Toward the steak, howdy's antennas lowered as his heart started to Pound, the woman was brought up to her feet and pushed against the wooden steak letting the other headsman tie her against it.

"Mrs, Mills, you have been testified guilty of witchcraft,  Do you have anything to say about your crimes." The admonish said, "I have nothing to say! I am innocent I tell you, my husband has deceived you all!" The woman said letting tears fall down her face
"Lies! Your husband has said you we're covered in blood as you were talking to an evil spirit, and your kids have also pleaded that you have been talking to nothing but air!" The admonish said, the woman started to sob as she looked down at the ground, "and for your crimes..you will be punished by god!" He said, he moved out of the way and people started to through rocks and stones at the woman letting her shout and cry.

Howdy looked at the others behind him In fear, they were also scared as they watched the poor woman being hit by various types of stones.

The people stoped as they ran out of stones, the admonish waited a few seconds before walking back to the center and looking at the woman. "Do you have anything else to say." He said coldly, "I swear on my life..I am not..A witch!...you..you can ask father howdy!" The woman said trying to catch her breath, they all looked at howdy with a surprised and mad expression, "father howdy, I came to..I came to you on an..early morning..asking for..protection..and....you helped..you helped me..proving I'm not a witch!.." the woman said "Is this true father howdy? Did you talk to the witch? Did you not telling the console about this, did you keep the truth from the church?" The admonish said, howdy didn't know what to say, if he did tell the truth, he would possibly be punished as well, or even put to death. He didn't tell the console when he knew he should've, but he wanted to help the woman..

"No father admonish, I have no idea what this..witch, is talking about."

Howdy looked at the ground, the admonish nodded his head while the woman's eye brows furrowed as she looked at howdy in disappointment and anger. "Father howdy step Forward and look at the witch that lied about you in the eyes" he said, howdy looked at him for a moment before walking toward the center stopping in front of the woman, she looked him dead in the eyes as he looked back at her, "lying is a sin witch..and for your punishment, father howdy will set you aflame" he said, howdy's eyes widened and he looked at the woman more afraid than before, the woman looked at howdy before closing her eyes and lowering her head.

Howdy heard whoosh beside him and he looked at the headsman, he was now holding a lit torch in his hands, he stretched his hand with the torch at howdy, it took a couple seconds before grabbing the torch shakily, "Father howdy, Bring this witch back to hell where she came from!" The man said before letting the crowd cheer.

The woman looked up letting everyone's cheering mellow out.

"If I am going to be killed..I want to say, one. Last. Thing." The woman said, howdy looked at her with a concerned but blank face.

"I May be a witch, I may not be..I may not harm you all..but be warned by this..."

"maledicam patri tuo quomodo maledicta voce mea, quia tradidit et mentitus est tibi omnes. infernum"

[go on google translate-Latin < : ]..]

"She is speaking tongues!" Someone shouted "burn the witch!!" "Set her aflame" "kill her!" "Send her to hell!"

The Peoples words were Echoing through the Field as howdy's hands started to shake rapidly

Howdy's hand shook to much making him accidentally drop the torch falling on the Dry sticks placed under the Woman starting a Fire beneath her.

Howdy gasped quietly as he backed away from the woman.

Everyone started to cheer while hearing the woman's shouting and screaming in pain.
Howdy can only watch in fear as her flesh burned leaving a horrible smell in the air around her

Forgive him, father,  for he lied.
