Ðêvïl§ Ðêår [Howdy x Wally story]

Ch: 24..

Howdy waited until sundown, Wally kept saying he needed to stay and he would handle it. But howdy needed to face the court. After all, It was his punishment.

Howdy waited by the alter, waiting. Then heard the others walk in the alter. He didn't even look at them, he was placing the vases back onto the concrete platters. No one said anything. They just stayed silent, howdy turned to see the church doors opening, three different counsel members came through the door. Including Candice. Howdy knew what he needed to do. He held out all four of his wrists.

Wally watched in confusion but the confusion turned into anger.

Candice stepped forward as she wrapped heavy yet thin chains across howdy's wrists.
She then wrapped the bottom pair, she stepped back and held the end of the chains.

She gave a sad yet blank look to howdy before they all started to walk out of the church. Howdy felt embarrassed yet calm when the town watched as he walked toward the court. Wrists in chains, Making medal sounds as he walked. Wally kept his possessive eyes on howdy,

[I am sorry for the fast writing]

They have arrived at the court. All the other sister's and Father's went to the left side of the court. Including Wally, and sat down. While the other Townspeople sat to the right of the church. Howdy inhales, before stepping in a wooden, made stand. Where he stood there, and waited for the judge/father admonish. To arrive.

Howdy's eyes darted to the side, he felt Wally's eyes boring into the side of his head, he turned his head a little, and saw Wally, he looked pissed. Howdy could feel his aura. He knew Wally was mad because the town accusing him of witchcraft...but who would even tell the church that he even did such, who would even spread such lies?

Who would even say those things?

Then he snapped out of his thoughts as he heard the gavel, he turned his head back and saw father admonish. He sat at the front, and looked at howdy.
"Howdy pillar." Admonish greeted. "Father admonish." Howdy greets back. "Do you know why you are here today, father?" Admonish asked, "The letter you sent me told me I had to be sent to court. Because-" "because you are being accused of witchcraft. Yes" Admonish interrupted.

"Howdy, pillar. You are being testified practicing under the dark arts. Influenced by witchcraft. How do you plea?" Admonish said. Locking his fingers. "I swear on my life, and those I love, I would never practice such things." Howdy said, "and, what if I said, we have a witness. Saying they'd seen you. Doing such things." Admonish said. Howdy's eyes widened as he saw Barnaby coming up. He looked ahead at howdy.

Howdy slightly clenched the chains on his wrists holding him in the wooden stand. "Father barnaby. Explain" admonish said. "A Few days ago. Me and father pillar were walking through the forest, so I can Fetch a bucket of water from the well. It was fine at first. Then he started to act off, strange actually." Barnaby started, "then suddenly, he started to act weird. And as I try and approach him, I was thrown against a tree!" Barnaby said. And howdy could hear some gasps around him, echoing off the court walls. "Those are lies!-" "you have not given permission to speak yet father pillar." Admonish said. Howdy closed his mouth, and looked at barnaby. "And as I woke up, I saw father pillar, holding father darling close to him, and I saw blood on his clothing, I think that he hurt Father darling." Barnaby continued. "Or maybe, Father darling tried to help, and father pillar used his witchcraft to harm him" barnaby ended.
