Mary Bradbury [A Salem Witch Trial]

Nighttime Matters

Directly after night falls completely, you run out to behind the prison a couple of meters away. You seem to be late because everyone else is already there, but as you draw near you hear them talking, and learn that some have been waiting for much longer than just nightfall. After that you divide the group up, twelve people on the guards and four people going to find and get Mary. 

The group is in and the plan is started, you have much longer than necessary to get in and get out with Mary. You are on the guards, you sneak up to one guard that is almost next to Mary's cell and signal for someone else to get the guard on the left. You go and grab the guard that you had crawled up to, and grabbed them by the face and as you do you lean in and whisper, "Show me where the keys are." The guard responds by showing the keys to you, just because it is dark and he doesn't know if you have a weapon on you. As you get the keys, (slowly pulling the guard along with you), you take the guard and say, "If you want to live you will not tell another living soul about what just happened." After that you go and knock the guard out and run back to Mary's cell. As you get near you whisper to Mary to stay quiet and follow you. She does and you get her outside to the group of four waiting with a cart, this cart is going to go to Maine with her husband and her in it. As the cart slowly starts it's journey, you can't help but think, what would've happened to me if I hadn't done this. This question is one that you go back to for a while.
