The Bird At The Church (049x035)

People say to never go into the forest, people say that it holds a witch, and once every full moon, that witch would come out to the church. Humming the church's song.

People would point fingers as to who works for the witch. Was it the energetic masked fellow who could charm anyone? Was it the old lady who loved to collect herbs to make tea? Was it the greedy man who had an addiction to wine? Or perhaps the sweet man who ran a shop with his wife?

Nobody could possibly know.

One day the witch came, but not at a full moon, in the middle of the day. A bird-like mask was on it's face, it was similar to a plague doctor's mask. It came out and spoke of a horrible disease that plagued them all.

"You are all infected!" It spoke in it's disturbingly calm and smooth voice. "I can cure you all! You have all been sick for years and didn't even realize!"

The townspeople were surprised, and scared. Should they trust the witch? The witch did not call itself a doctor, but it offered a cure. As the townsfolk discussed silently what they were supposed to do, the witch waited, it restrained itself from forcing it's 'cure' upon them.

Nobody knew whether to accept the witch's cure, or drive them out.

(I just wanted an excuse to write another 049x035 thing. This time instead of in the future, it's more like 049 and 035 backstory together. 049 will be referred to as either the doctor or the witch, 035 as the masked man/woman or the mask. I don't have an update schedule but I will try to update as soon as I can! Trigger Warnings are inside each chapter, do not be afraid to tell me your triggers!)
