it's the Salem witch trials and Sybil's mom gets accused of witch craft Bridget bishop and after her death comes Sybil's along with Cassidy who they never expected to be a witch.
Its 1962 and I have already seen a few witches get busted. They got hung in the courtyard by the priest. My mom, Bridget Bishop, is teaching me her ways of witchcraft. I enjoy it I don't understand what's so bad about it. I make medicine out of the natural herbs grown in our garden out back instead of out front because if they saw the specific herbs, we grew they would become suspicious. One of the girls from across the courtyard shouts "what are you doing witchy bitch aren't you supposed to be at home with your mommy making spells!" that's Cassidy she's the neighborhood bully along with her little toad stools beside her, Mandy and Lilly. I get up and go back to my house, before i make it to my front door Cassidy shoves me to the ground. I let out a wailing cry and turns over seeing her, Lilly, Mandy hovering over me. i sigh softly not wanting to fight and stands up my face only a few inches from hers," i saw what you did a few days ago, do i need to inform the priest of your dirty habit?" she takes a step back her face reading as surprised and i smirk softly as i see the run off i whisper to myself, if you cant stir with the big girls then stay away from the cauldron Cassidy. i glance to the side seeing Axel, he is a witch too along with his mother Mabel, often times she gives me cookies she stole from another villager. I love axle though, he doesn't know it but he, he would make a fine husband.
he looks at me after he finished speaking to his mom and smiled warmly at me. i smiled back and looked at my shoes as he approached me. he places his index finger under my chin and guided my eyes to meet his he says softly," hey Sybil how are you and your mom?" i can feel the heat rising in my face as i begin to blush," shes well and what about yours Axel?" he let out a chuckle and took my hand and we walked down the road to the sinkhole in the back side of the village. This was my favorite place to go with Axel we were the only ones to know about this area and we share a lot of secrets here.

as we walk down to it i stop him at the edge and whisper," listen, whats that." as we stand there in silence we hear distant screams, shrills as if they seen something they never wanted to see. Axel looks at me and we both bolt back to the village to see who has been caught this time.
Its Maxine, Axels neighbor that has been caught. as we stand at the edge of the wood line we watch as they snatch her out of her home, not caring if they injure her any; other guards drag out crates of things, most likely related to witchcraft. I feel Axel grab a hold of my hand and i bat my eyes to break my staring and looks to him. he whispers softly as he keeps an eye on whats happening," we got to leave separate ways, sneak in the back so they don"t suspect." he kisses my forehead and walks briskly to his home as do i both of us sneaking through the back.
As i enter through the back i smile at my mom who is making supper. I sit at the kitchen table and she places a bowl of soup in front of me. i stare at it and waits for her to sit with me, she does and i dig in loving the taste of the dumpling soup. I look up at her and asks," can i bring Axel and his mom some?" she nods and reply's," make sure they return our bowls Susan didn't so were down to four." i nod fixing two bowls and heads over to Axels house.
