Winnie awoke from her slumber her old bones creaking as she got out of her bed made from the finest wood, cloth, and feathers. Her bedding was draped in the finest furs and silks. Winnie was private, so she had her sleeping quarters in the far back room of their home. She didn't mind living with her sisters in fact it was fun most of the time, but she longed for something more, or perhaps someone. She shook her head at the thought and stood up slowly. Despite how lavish the bedding she could still feel her age creeping up on her as she sighed and slumped out towards the rest of the house. Both her sisters were already up organizing the bottles and ingredients in the cupboards and lighting the candles and fire under the cauldrons. Her sisters knew she had been in a mood lately because Winnie and her sisters were going to have to go into town again today. As they had gone into town the month prior to gather supplies, a task which Winnie had learn to dread. The town folk avoided them and looked away clutching rosaries and crosses, uttering prayers and pleas to their god above for protection. Winnie and her sisters scoffed at this behavior, Winnie knew if she really wanted too, she could take them all out with a flick of her fingers, but where would be the fun in that? Winnie never minded if she was feared, in fact she enjoyed the power she had over those in Salem.

"Sisters" Winnie sang out melodically and held the s sound like the hiss of a snake. With a waving gesture of her hands Mary and Sara turned their attention to her.

"We must travel into town, as thou can see we are starting to wrinkle and gray once again." Sara and Mary nodded in agreement.

"thou hast counted our ingredients, our trip today shall be with haste", Winnie sighed taking her long fingernail and scratching her chin as if in deep thought.

"I fear with all hallows eve fast approaching the town folk hast grown weary of us again, we must complete the ritual, or we will cease to exist!" The sister's although worried nodded in agreement.

"Wha- shou- "Sara and Mary exchanged glances as they both stuttered in unison. "Shall we need disguises again Winnie" they both waited for an answer, as Winnie scratched her chin again.

Her mouth pursed and her buck teeth started to stick out past her ruby red lips. "I shall see no harm in that" she sighed heavy, the truth was Winnie was glad to hide her face away from many, especially one person Amelia Binx. The mother of Thackery, and Emily and wife to the towns Judge Mr. Binx. Winnifred long ago started to fancy only women despite what legend says. Winnie did not wish to be cast out even further for loving the fairer sex. She had confided in her master the devil and his mistress, but they assured her there was nothing wrong with this and was not in fact a curse or punishment. Winnie had also shared this information with her sisters whom were also supportive letting Winnie have the back-sleeping quarters, so Winnie could have women come and go as she pleased. For the most part Winnie would have many short trysts with women from the underworld, gifts from the devil himself. Winnie had maybe loved one or two over the years, but not like Amelia. Amelia was of course human, and a puritan woman it also did not help that she was married. Winnie was old fashioned and although she loved Amelia, she knew their secret affair, and meetings in the night were that of adultery, and sin even for Winnie.
