The same men came back and again grabbing my arms and dragging me away and out of the oubliette. We arrive in the town hall a few minutes later. The hall was packed at the front there was a large desk with three men very fancy dressed men seated behind it. The people were sectioned off to the side. I was lead to a small sad looking chair in the corner of the room beside the large looking table.
My Edward walks into the room and seats himself at the back once again never meeting my eyes. When the hall is filled up one of the men with a big funny looking wig stands up.
"how do you plead yourself Bridget Bishop" I've seen this happen before so know what to say
"innocent" I reply to the head judge.
"The first speaker come forward please" with this Edward stands up and come to the front of the room in front of the judges he turns his head and looks at me for the first time in a while meeting my gaze 'I'm so sorry I love you' Edward mouthed to me and looked back at the judge like nothing ever happened
"State your case"
"I have found a written word from Bridget's late husband Thomas Oliver accusing her of witchcraft" a chorus of gasps where heard throughout the hall tars fell as the evidence was produced to the judges
"Edward you know I would never" I screamed my pleas were unanswered I couldn't take it any more I tuned out. I saw more speakers present evidence such as the women who found my mark and one of my cell guards claims I had un-natural behaviour in the cell the list went on and on and on.
