CHAPTER SEVEN
IN ANOTHER LIFE ─── ❝ i shall see you in another life, mine lover ❞

"I FOUND THE WITCH!" SOLOMON YELLED as Hannah, Rosemary, and Beatrice stared at the girl who was being held by the man. "Told you she was a witch."

"No." The three girls whispered as they stared at Sarah, who was full of dirt and blood...and missing a hand.

Rosemary sobbed as the four girls were dragged through the fields, to the hanging tree. "Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent" Rosemary prayed quietly as she was lead to stand next to the hanging tree. "Amen."

"The penalty for practicing witchcraft is death by hanging!" Elijah exclaimed as the townsfolk agreed. "Confess! Confess your sins or burn in eternal hell." The four girls stood silent. "Confess!"

Beatrice and Sarah both looked at their lovers, sorrow clear in their eyes as they whispered, "I confess."

"No." Rosemary and Hannah whimpered as they shook their heads. "No! No!"

"I confess!" Sarah and Beatrice both exclaimed.

"No! They're lying!" Rosemary yelled before both hers and Hannah's mouths were covered.

"I walked with the Devil!" Sarah exclaimed.

"I layed with the Devil!" Beatrice exclaimed.

"I bewitched the good pastor." Sarah looked at Beatrice.

"And I bewitched..." The two girl spoke in unison.

"Hannah Miller."

"Rosemary Fier."

"No!" Rosemary screamed as she and Hannah were dragged away. "No! They're lying! Please! No!" Rosemary sobbed as she was thrown into Issacs's arms who stood by Lizzie and Abigail. "No."

Beatrice was dragged to the side as Solomon wrapped a chain around Sarah's body. "The truth will come out. Maybe not today...and maybe not tomorrow, but it will. The truth shall be your curse. It will follow you for eternity. I will shadow you forever. I will show them what you've done. I will never...let you go." Sarah told Solomon.

Rosemary sobbed as a noose was wrapped around her sisters neck, her little sisters neck. "Sarah!" Rosemary sobbed loudly as Sarah was pulled up, her body shaking as she hung. Isaac held Rosemary tighter, while Lizzie and Abigail grabbed her hands.

Rosemary watched as Sarah's body was dropped and kicked out of the way like trash. Beatrice sniffled as she stepped up to the rope. "Beatrice..." Rosemary cried, her throat hurt as she continued to cry.

Beatrice took a deep breath as the noose was wrapped around her neck. The girl turned to stare at her lover in the crowd. "We shall be together eventually. It may not be today, or next month, or next year, or the next century. But i shall find my way back to thou." Beatrice spoke making Rose cry harder.

"I shall see you in another life, mine lover..." Rosemary whispered as she watched Beatrice's body lift off the ground. Her body shaking just like Sarah's, before she went limp.
