Me and my family were not the types that move around a lot,we stayed some were in the fields were we didn't have a lot of neighbors and not much company.My father would tell me and my brother to go work on the fields, I forgot one don't mind this because I didn't have games or any sort of electrical device like those city kids have,now my younger brother Jacob would draw, and  help father out with  the food and bring it in the house.I never knew were my mother goes after dawn, she doesn't talk to most people and seems to tend to wander the house after dark it gave me chills when I would just see her down stairs standing in the kitchen, I would think she would be sleep walking but then again her eyes would be open.On a late night me and my brother would be half asleep my father would be out in a small town not far from here left with me, Jacob, and mother.A hour passes by and Jacob wakes me up shoving me, everything was blurry I asked him why he woke me up in a annoyed tone, he said something about mother outside the window I took a look and sure enough it was mother coming out of the barn with something dark in her hands dragging what I can only make out is a animal with horns to the house, she didn't seem to notice me,I had chills down my back I turned to my brother and asked what was she doing? He didn't even know.we heard mother in the living room then she went down the basement, mother always said not to go down there and she never said why I never knew what was down that basement not even father I wish he was here right now, I didn't know what to do I was shaking and couldn't move I told jacob to stay quiet and follow me, we were at the door way of the basement and all I could here was mumbles from inside I opened the door and stepped in I looked down the  stairs and could see a bunch of boxes stacked on top of each other I could see my mother cutting a goat and taking it guts out of the stomach, I felt sick I wish dad was here we have a house phone but I was afraid to move back upstairs, my brother was at the door way I gave him a sign to call the cops he got the message but stopped dead in his tracks to look up and stair beside was mother with her mouth wide open and was making a horrible noise pointing at me.I ran up stairs with my heart pounding, me and my brother were running out the front door hearing our mother behind us screaming at the top of her lungs.We ran on the dirt road towards the town we tried yelling for help we saw a truck on the road coming towards us it looked like our fathers truck, we got his attention and stopped we tried telling him what was going on he said "I know, we in truck and drove back to town to the sheriffs department by time we got back to the house it was on fire.Later no one could find my mother, father told us she was a witch going to kill us when we were asleep she always was acting strange at night the officers couldn't find anything so we went to go live in place with more people. It's just crazy how we were living in a house with a witch and didn't even know I don't think I'll get much sleep tonight I will never live on a farm again
