Rose must have fell asleep, because she didn't remember anything from the time she was alone. She heard at least three people speaking next door. She didn't understand everything, but the words she caught didn't make her feel any better. "At noon... witch...burned...kill...the alien..." Suddenly the door burst open, 2 aliens and the other Rose-Alien stood on the doorway. "Rose, Rose, Rose. We're going on a little city tour now, OK?" The other Rose said. She came closer and put something on Roses head so she couldn't see anymore. Rose started screaming and fighting the alien off but she was too strong. Someone crabbed Rose's feet and the aliens started moving towards the front door. They went outside while carrying screaming Rose. " Is that the witch you've told us about?" A stranger asked. Rose stopped screaming because she wanted to listen. " Yes it is" a young boy who the Alien had called Fred said. The other Rose went back inside and Rose thought that she can fight that little boy and one alien off but before she could do a thing she was thrown into a carriage. The door closed behind her. Rose couldn't see but she could hear what happened around her. Not that it would have helped. The carriage started moving. It wasn't an ordinary carriage, it was basically an cage on wheels. After a while they turned left and as Rose understood there were more people on that street than there were on the last street. She heard some people screaming and a grown up man reading the Bible out loud. Suddenly she felt something warm and wet hit her on the head. " Witch! Witch!" she heard the crowd scream. She felt how something hit her again, she didn't even want to think what it must have been. Suddenly the carriage stopped, someone opened the " cages" door and pulled her out, Rose almost fell on her knees because of the sudden action. She was taken a few steps away from the carriage. "Get up there," a rough man voice said. Rose made some careful steps and understood that she's supposed to go up the stairs. When there were no more steps a man grabbed her by hand and directed her to go about 3 meters to the left, then he pulled the cloth away from Rose's head. Rose saw that she was standing next to an unlit bonfire. "This woman here is accused of using witchcraft among our community and also accused of encouraging our citizens to find witchcraft a good thing, not a sin. Do you have something to say for defense?" A man who looked like a priest said. " I'm not a witch! I'm just a normal girl who was just visiting London for a few days. I'm not a witch!!!" Rose said while panicing. "But the citizens stated that you and only you had told them about monsters and demons so cruel that not even ten priests could scare them away. You had also told stories about traveling in time, me and the other priests know that this is not possible, but messing with the minds of our citizens like that is forbidden in this country, do you have anything else to say you sinner?" Rose was shocked, she didn't know what to do or say, not a word came out from her mouth. She was taken to the bonfire and tied to it. The priest lit a torch and said: " Let the Lord be the witness of this unfortunate event, if this poor soul is innocent don't let her get hurt by the flames and if she is involved with Satan as we believe she is- let her burn to death." He lit the bonfire and Rose stared at the flames that were getting bigger and bigger while getting closer and closer to her. " Doctor, help me." She whispered through the sobbing.
