The Salem Witch Trials

Salem Witch Trails Chapter 9

John ran. Letting his legs lead him. He ran and ran until he couldn't run anymore. He ran until his legs were sore and felt like they would give any moment. He knew Samuel had stopped following long ago. But he couldn't take any chances. Not if someone was after him. 

He had to see the house. Had to see what was left of it at least. See if it could help him choose where he was going to go. He was lost in the woods. Where else could he go? He did not know a thing about the world outside of his town. That was all he knew, and he cant go back now. Not if he wants to be killed. But John knew that he had to get Samuel. Had to end him. He killed is sister and a insistent women. He was mad. But the towns people didn't know that. They were daft and clueless. Followers. But he would not put that against them. But Samuel. Oh Samuel, will have to pay. 

John wondered the woods. He knew this area well and had no trouble finding the womens hut. Nestled among the trees was the house. Burned to the ground. Laying before it was Anabel. Dead. Stabbed to death by her own raise. John could feel anger rising in him but he contained it. He had to keep quite. Men were still guarding the area. Each with knifes. He would have to wait them out. They would have to surely leave sometime...

Sir Samuel sat across from Joesph. Sitting with a heaping pile of food in front of him. How dare I? Thought Joesph. How dare I give up my best friend without even a second thought. For what? Pride? What pride? I am just a useless person. Probably will be killed when Samuel no longer had a need. I deserve it. I hope John lives. Somehow...

"Joesph? Go get Matthew for me. I need to speak a word to him."

"No."

"What?"

"You heard me you worthless pile of trash. I said no. I will not help you. You are crazy. And I know it." And with that Joesph got up and headed for the door.

"Joesph?"

Joe stopped."What is it?"

"You will come back to me you know."

"And why may I ask will I do that?"

"Because I will make your life a living hell..."
