So as I turned around a voice creepily said "Oh, that must be you're lovely prince, Princess Esmeralda."
"Uh, who's there, who said that?" I asked
"Oh, I'm down here. Sorry I'm so small." She said
"Oh, you frightened me." I said "are, are you from around here and what's you're name?"
"Yes, yes I'm from here, I've lived here all my life and so has my family." She said "oh, and my name is Tarja Brevil."
"I've never herd of an family named Brevil in the village." I said
"Yes I know only because you're father never acknowledged our family, ever since my family first came here centuries ago, you're extremely great grand father, till you're father now have still never acknowledged our family and it has always been that way, the town has accused us of witchcraft and our family being witches, I don't understand why though."
I said to myself "Well now I see why they called you witches I mean look at you're skinny, wrinkly, hunched over, small, old body." Then I said out loud "Do you have kids?"
"Why yes, yes I do." She said "They are all in the rubbish houses at the end of town, that's where they put my whole entire family and we've been there for centuries."
"Oh ok." I said
"Would you like to come?" She asked
"No, no thank you," I said "oh look my carriage is right over there, see, see it, I gotta go go go, I will see you later." Then I mumbled "Or maybe in the next 50 years when you dead."
"What did you last say?" Tarja asked
"Oh nothing that's just how I clear my throat." I said nervously "oh look at that, my carriage is right down the street it think I'll just go over there and get in and go back home because I'm getting a little hungry for lunch, great talk bye."

I rushed off to the carriage and jumped in for my life because that women was scary. I told my coachmen to rush me straight to the castle and have a meeting with my father about this family immediately. I was scared half to death because of that ugly women. She should have been killed like before even my great, great, great, great,  great, great, great, well you get the point grandparents. She is probably in her 200's or something close to that.

As soon as I got home I immediately went to my fathers office, knocked on the door and said
"Father, may I come in, I need to salt you and tell you something."
"Yes, you may Esmeralda." He said
"Dad, dad, dad, dad, this is really scary and creepy and weird and important." I said hesitantly
"Well what is it?" He asked
"Do you know the family by the name of Brevil?" I asked
"Yes, it's back in this big old book somewhere. I haven't heard of that name in a while not ever since I was little and I don't think you're mother has heard of that name in a while either." He said
When he opened the book I saw that name and pictures of their whole family. "Wow, they were ugly." I said to myself.
"Well," my dad said "this is the family you are looking for, just read through their history if you want too, and I though that, that family had been dead for years, are they still alive?" My dad asked
"Yeah they are so alive and so creepy." I said, then a knock came from the door and my dad said "Who is it. I am having a talk with my daughter please come back later."
It was one of the guards and he said "Your majesty, an elderly woman would like to have a small meeting with you about her issues and wanted to know what you could do with them."
"Well tell her she can come back on next week, this week is full and I can't take any more people." My dad said
"Yes, your majesty I will tell her that." Then he walked off.
"Now back to what we were doing sweetie." My dad said
"Well today I met one of the older women her name was Tarja Brevil and she was old and creepy." I said "she said she had kids so the family just still be alive. She even asked me to go to her house with her! Thank goodness I said no and my carriage was coming at that same time so that was good too." I said
"Well there family has been accused of
doing witchcraft back I the day but were never killed for it." My dad said my dad pulled out a sketching of witchcraft it looked cool but weird at the same time but I didn't like it.

Then my father said "How about we go and get some lunch to eat in the garden and then we will come back at talk about this ok

Then my father said "How about we go and get some lunch to eat in the garden and then we will come back at talk about this ok."
"Sure." Replied
My father called that guards and told them to guard the inside and outside of his office then we left. As we got to the I saw at the corner of my eye the old women my dad and I looked at the same time but when we looked no one was there. I asked my dad "Dad, did you see that at the corner of you're eye?"
"Yes I did, was that the old woman?" He asked
"Yes it was, how did she get into the castle though?" I asked
"It's that witchcraft, she's using it." My dad said angrily
"So they are witches." I said
"Let's eat lunch quick before anything else happens." My dad said and right when we walked out side a dark storm was coming are way so we moved everything inside then my mom said "Storms don't usually happen at this time of year."
"Yes I know, but I think we've been put on a curse." My dad said
"Trevor," my mom said
"Yeah sis." My uncle Trevor said
"Would you know how to stop someone who is using witchcraft or is cursing us?" My mom asked
"Well would have to get some books out of my office if you want me to stop her but I'm also going to need Esmeralda's help." He said
"Well yeah sure anything uncle Trevor." I said
"Go with him Esmeralda." My dad said
And so I did as soon as we got to his office we looked through his book shelves and found the book it was called How To Stop a Curse or Witchcraft we looked through it and found the page it had a spell in it and it said it requires two people and here we are so we both said "Asmerita Concilva Astoña."

Then we heard a scream from my father office the guards got their before us and we found Tarja she was literally disintegrating it was totally discussing I couldn't even bare to look then we saw her whole memory of her life. When certain things showed up I felt so bad for her, but at the same time I did feel really good.

Then we cleaned up her ashes which was disgusting and dumped them into the river near by soon we went to her house and we found piles and plies of ashes. "I guess they were all witches too." I said to myself so we had to clean up all of those to which was also very disgusting.

We saw everything all of their lives one at a time all of the evil thing a they've done. But just like Tarja I felt bad for some of the other witches too.

Especially when they lost a loved one of theirs. Just like when the lost Tarja and each other. I went back to the castle finding all of my cousins in the game room which I rarely go to and the boys were have air hockey matches it was hilarious. I got to play against the winner which was Jake, Caroline's boyfriend and I won! Yay!!

Soon we all got starving and ate our lunch. We had a great day, well after Tarja happened. They were all going to stay for at least two more days so we all would have two more game matches!
