FALL OF ANGELS

On the run (2)

It was starting to rain. I decided to leave the witch outside but I felt some pity for her. After all being beaten, sexual molested then being bit by an animal isn't something a normal person can handle. I decided to pick her up and take her inside my hut of a home.

She struggled at first but stopped when she realised that I was trying to help her. I took her to a room at end of the halls and laid her on the bed.

She seemed grateful and spoke in a hoarse voice" thank you". " you won't be thanking me after you wake up witch!" She looked at me first then closed her eyes and went to sleep.

When she woke up, about 1/2 an hour later, I told her to follow me to the chimney with a promise of no torture." Alright first tell me a bit about yourself" I ordered her. She began her story " I was born......"

--------------------------------

" I was born in a normal home with normal parents. I don't know why I had this power but I could heal people. Even the worst wounds. So people kept on depending on me to heal them and pretty soon the dead corpses of past villagers were brought to me.

I could not bring back the dead. So people finally got some sense knocked into them. But then they accused me of being a witch. I was drowned but I survived all the tests.

They accused me of being protected by satan and proceded to burn me. But my mam, she still loved me. She was my mother after all and she couldn't stand me being tortured. So she was burned in my place. May God rest her soul. I ran away from the village. I was young then.

I did not know what I was doing. So I met mother Martha and she told that she would bring back my mam from the dead if I did a special task for her. I was to become her servant. Her right hand witch.

But as young as I was I accepted her deal and I have been waiting for her to fulfill her promise. Part of me knows that she lied to me and my mam cannot come back but I still want to believe that she can".

Her story was indeed sad so I made her a deal." Alright listen, let's find mother Martha and when we do I will ask her some questions then you and I can force her to fulfill her promise and if she does not then we burn her. How does that sound?"

" yes let's do that" " she is not really dead is she?" I asked her. "No I was lying back then she is well alive." " then let's go!"

And so began our journey to find mother Martha.
