Chapter 80 - The stakes are high

"Bring out the girls so that we may be entertained during our feast!!"

"You sick perverted minds. God will judge you soon enough."

"Shut up Sheriff. Hear nothing that man says and go get em."

" Yes sir."

"Wake up little girls. There are some people here who would very much like to see you. Now get in the cage or else I will pierce you here and now!"

"Where's Dandellion?"

"I said, get in the cage!!!"

"Where is…"

"No!! No!! Noooo!!! Get your hands off of me you freaks or else I'm telling daddy."

" GET IN THE CAGE!!"

"Don't try escaping, little witch, because it will be futile. We used iron bars and an extra layer of salt to dust them off. THAT GOES FOR BOTH OF YOU!! So don't try anything stupid."

"Where are they taking us, Adalyn? I'm scared."

"Dandellion, it's okay. Just hold my hand and everything will be fine. Can you reach?"

"I'm trying, but I don't understand. My arms and body are starting to grow weak. My feet are wobbling underneath me and I don't think I can stand. Achoo!! I don't feel so good. What's happening to me?"

"Dandellion, get away from the bars right now and sit in the middle of the cage. If the whole entire town went crazy after one witch showed up; then imagine how they'd react with two present?"

"Achoo!! I don't want to be a witch. Please help me!"

"Dandellion, I didn't want to be a witch either but it's been prophesied that I'll become greater than a witch so I'll do my best to protect you. For now; don't fight the sickness. It'll only get worse if you do. Let it rush straight through you."

""STOP RIGHT THERE MINUTE!! Before you go into the feast, may I have one last moment with my daughter? They are all in there screaming, 'off with their heads, 'but you all are fathers too so please understand. Pardon me this last request."

"Rael, go stand in front of the door outside. We don't want the boss seeing us. You have one minute, but we're not letting her out."

"Ohh thank you! Thank you!! Many blessings shall befall upon you this day. Angel, I'm coming!!!"

"Why are we stopped? What is the hold up for? HEY, why are we….hu….Dad!!!!!! Wait, what if he sees me like this?"

"Lion, it's okay. Just stay low and try standing near the shadows. If he asks for your hand; do it quickly but don't touch the bars."

"You don't understand. He talks foul mouth of witches ever since my mother died. Shh...here he comes."

"Dandellion, oh my precious little Dandellion what have they done to you? Let me feel your hand in mine."

"I'm fine dad, really. You can let go of my hand now!!"

"Why are you pulling away, baby girl? Is not the embrace of a father enough for you?"

"I said….let...gooo!!!"

"Huh!! You...you….your hand touched the bars!! Step into the light so that I may see you better."

" It's okay, Dandellion. I'll back you if he starts talking bad."

" Wphoof! Here goes nothing. Father, this is the real...achoo!! Father, why are you speechless? Have you nothing to..achoo!!"

"It's impossible!! Your mother was the last one and when she died; it was said that all her genes died with her. Witch, can you step to the front of your cage so that I may see you?"

"Dad, she's not a witch. Her name is Adalyn and she is my friend!!"

"You wanted to see me, sir."

"Unbelievable!! You remind me so much of her."

"I remind you of who? What's going on? Who are you?"

"Docs, the boss is starting to look this way."

"Times up, Sheriff. Please step away from the cages now."

"YOU REMIND ME OF MY WIFE!!!"

"FATHER?"

"Silence...Silence!! Silence in the court please. Ehhehhemmm!! It is with a heavy heart and the utmost of pride that I may introduce to you….drumroll please…...the Witch!!!!"

"Boooo!!! Burn her where she stands!! Cut off her head and rip out her heart!! Dark magic has no place amongst us here!!"

"What shall I have done with her accomplice?"

" Here's a steak!! Use it to burn them both!!"

"Adalyn, they're throwing food and empty matches at us. If this be the end then I want you to know that getting to know you these past few hours has been like a dream. I only wish we could've hung out together more."

"Don't lose heart and keep the fight. We may be down but we are not out!!

" Look! They're bringing us a bowl of water. Is this our last thirst?"

"Dandellion...the stakes are coming! I don't think that bowl is for us. The priest is going to wash his hands signifying that our blood will not be on his hands….but theirs!!!!"

"A...aa….Are those stakes for us?"

"There are two of them so it would appear so. If there were a time for a savior to rescue us….it would be now. They're looking to burn us here and now in front of everybody!!"

"Take the girls out of their cages and string them up tight. I want to hear them scream and squeal."

"Dandellion, it's happening and I can't stop it."

"What is?"

"Whatever happens next I just want you to know that you are more then a friend. You are like a sister to me."

"Come on, Witch."

"No!! Noo!! Nooo!!"

"You'll pay for scratching me. The same blood you see pouring out of my arm….will be gushing out of you."

"Cursed qe wux moxt devils!! nomeno kear si geou xurwk vucat.....that wux re…"

"Shut up. How do you like an iron bar wacked aside your head?"

"String them up before they wake...and get the firewood ready. I want this place to be ablaze before sundown."

"Adalyn,,whh..what happened? Where are...ouch.. Ouch.. I can't move my hands or my feet. Adalyn!!!!"

"MMmmmmmhmmm. Mhmmmmmer."

"Oh poor Adalyn. They have your mouth sealed shut so you can summon anyone to your defense. There is blood already coming out of your ribs and along your sides. Your head has been struck with a blow and blood is seen out of there as well. Oh, Adalyn. Please wake up and don't be dead."

""She's not dead yet, little girl, but if you don't stop talking then I'll tape your mouth shut too."

"Achoo!!"

"You'll pay for sneezing on me. Executioner!! Light the fire!! Let's see just how fresh your young bodies really are.
