Chapter one: when i was eleven.

WHEN I WAS ELEVEN, I would join my brothers on witch hunts. We would walk with the kind residents of Gravesfield and purge witches down.

Mainly, it was people that was suspected to be a witch. They would get burned or hung. This war the daily life of William, me.

We had come to Gravesfield in 1613. Caleb carved a mask for Pip. Pip wore it to play or when they went on witch hunts with the villagers.

"Pip. Wake up." I shook my little brother awake. He looked up. "Yeah?" He asked, his voice hoarse.

"It's morning, Cal is making food." I said and walked away. Hope Pip will get up so Caleb doesn't have to drag him out of bed.

"I dunno if he's coming. He just nodded." I told Caleb. "We'll give him ten minutes." Caleb noted as he finished up the food.

"Thanks Cal. You're good at making food." I told him. "Don't mention it Will." Caleb grinned.

It was a toothy grin, he always had a toothy grin, it was quite contagious cause a slight smile appeared on my face.

It had been ten minutes already and Pip still hadn't come. "God.. Pip!" Caleb swore under his breath and marched over to Pip's room:

"Oh he's mad." I gasped and followed.

"Pip! Seriously?!" Caleb yelled at Philip. "Sorry, Leb." Pip was apologising.

"This happens every time we aren't going on a witch hunt." Caleb sighed. "Your breakfast is cold. Go eat."

Pip looked down as Caleb walked away. "Don't worry, Pip. He's just in a bad mood. He'll come around eventually." I told pip.

"Thanks Wills. Your my favorite brother.." Pip looked at me. "Thanks Lip. Go eat now before Cal gets even more pissed off." I told him.

Philip nodded and ran along happily. God this kid is making me soft.

I sat in my room and began to read about the Tudors. Interesting time period really, when Lip came bursting in. "Wills!" He said as he shut the door.

"Sup, Lip?" I asked. "There's a witch hunt tomorrow! I'm so excited!" Philip looked so happy I thought he was going to explode.

"Alright, see you in the morning." I grinned.

"Night Wills!" The lil boy ran out of my room and I sighed.

"This kid is going to kill someone one day." I whispered under my breath.
