Chereads / Unbreakable Aegis / Chapter 2 - 2

Chapter 2 - 2

It is nearing midnight. The streets are empty and there have been whispers about a gathering in the woods. All adults from the small village are currently holding a meeting at the clearing in the woods to address a certain thing that has made people wary: a rumor had spread like fire throughout their small community..... such viscous accusations to spread about someone!

Then came the arrival of a powerful, menacing green-eyed witch, whose hair is as bright as autumn leaves, and whose presence is ever so inviting. This witch is famous not only in their area but in other nearing towns and it is believed that she's been living for centuries, bringing horror to anyone she chooses.

Unbeknownst to the people of Salem, their frightening fates were already sealed right after they had left their children at home—mostly unguarded—just as the witch had planned. She lands in the middle of the village with a cat on her right shoulder. She then begins luring all the kids who are left unsupervised just by singing a tune that put the children in a trance-like state. As the last child reaches her vicinity, she casts a spell and summons a magical door that appeared out of nowhere. One by one, the children enter the said door like a robot. After stepping into the door, each of them disappears into nothingness. Shutting it, the witch says another spell which makes the door vanished. As she finally gets what she wants, she flies into the air and laughs maniacally.
