UsUk My Witch

The Trials

Alfred Pov

I ran through the streets holding some bread I stole. Nobody was chasing after me but I was eager to get the woods to eat what I got. I live alone......I was actually a prince but I ran away, being searched for at this very moment probably. I finally made it to the woods everyone feared. Its just so I wont be spotted. "Good dang what is with all the twists and turns in this dang village!" I huffed sitting down at my favorite tree. I heard shouting toward the village knowing that they were accusing someone of being a witch. I stood up putting the bread in my bag and walking toward the commotion. There they were the villagers circling a young girl and her two siblings I guessed. "Please we are not from around here! We came here for peace!" The oldest sibling a female with hair put into a bun and old torn clothes pleaded. "Da we are new around here please dont burn us!" The middle sibling a boy with short hair and torn clothes as well cried. The youngest also female had long hair and just gripped onto the eldest crying. The villagers muttered amongst eachother and began to walk off. The siblings rejoiced until they saw me.

"Are you ok?" The eldest said. She was about my age honestly she looked 14 anyway......"Im fine but let me tell you......This place usually dosent let people go that easily you better consider yourselves lucky" I said. "Yeah.....I just dont get it though......" The eldest said. "Dont get what?" I asked. "Why are the people so mean?" The eldest muttered. "I honestly don't know either" I shrugged. "Umm sorry to ask but may we come with you?" The eldest asked nervously. "Sure but that means you have to help me steal food" I said walking toward the forest. They just nodded and followed. We got back from stealing fod and we actually got alot thanks to the adorableness of Natalya the youngest. Ivan the middle one was also the sneakiest while the eldest Katyusha was very quick and manipulative. We all sat down by my tree and relaxed as we ate.......Night was coming so I lead them to my clearing where most of my stuff was. "Well here's camp!" I smiled. They all nodded as I started a small fire and layed down some old blankets and pillows.

They went to sleep quickly as I sat and watched as I saw smoke in the distance there was another supposed witch burning......I sighed saddened about what they were doing......But then I heard singing a male singing......I got up and walked toward it with a torch. I got so close I could feel their presence through the trees. There they were.....A dark cloak hid them from me as they sat at the river. They looked back at me the singing stopped as they let their hood down......Definitely male......He had messy blonde hair and big eyebrows but his emerald eyes were so shiny you could get trapped in them. "Who are you!" He hissed. "M-my name is Alfred!" I said. "Are you here to take me away and burn me!? Like the rest of you petty villagers!" He growled. "No! I wouldnt do that no matter if your a witch or not no one diserves to be burned!" I shouted. He looked at me with shock which turned into kindness. "Well thats kind of you.......but if you want to live.....Stay Away From Me" He said. "At least let me know your name so maybe we can see each other again!" I shouted. "Arthur.....My name is Arthur.....And maybe we will meet again" He smiled disappearing. I ran back to camp happy......but my heart was racing and my face felt warm so I went to sleep.......
