Chapter 23 ~The Green Twins Curse~

A couple upon a hill couldn't bear children, but the wife wanted at least one child more than anything in the world. The wife cried every night for 5 years longing for a child to love her and a child for her to teach and have memories with, she wanted a child that could do what an adult couldn't do. The husband finally had enough of the tears, so he searched and asked for anyone knowing if there was an orphanage or a poor child wanting to get out of a bad home but had no luck. Finally, after a month of search, someone knew a witch who could MAKE a child but warned the husband to pay her back the exact amount that they promise her, or they will regret it.

He did not care about the warning however and told his wife that night about the witch and what she can do, the wife stopped crying immediately and hugged her husband in pure joy and they planned to go to her the next morning. Once they were ready, they ate lunch and went on their way, it took a while but finally after getting there they greeted the wife with massive amounts of respect, the witch was already impressed and led the couple in. They told her their problem and asked for help, the witch had thought about it and after some convincing, she agreed, the couple was overjoyed and thanked her. Before they left the wife asked if there was anything they needed to give in return, and the witch smiled told them she had always wanted a child as well but couldn't make herself bear a child and no one wanted to have one for her so she said, IF the child turns into twins they must give her the other twin as soon as possible, so the twin wouldn't get to attached to each other.

The couple hesitated but nodded and agreed to this term, once they had agreed the witch said that tonight she would feel full and their parent journey would begin, they thanked her and left. That night the wife felt like she couldn't eat dinner, feeling full and the couple got excited. Eight Months past and the wife's stomach was big, and the couple started to remember the promise about the twins to the witch, the wife didn't want to, but the husband knew they had to.

Another month past and the couple had twins, a little girl, and a little boy, they fell in love with the children but then the wife looks up at her husband with sadness in her eyes and he knew they wouldn't be able to let one go so instead of giving one to the kind witch, they begged a friend to help them hide the baby boy until it was safe, and the friend agreed.

The witch came by two days later to see what the nice couple had and fell in love with the baby girl. the couple said her name was named after the nice witch, Sabrina Green, the witch was happy that they did that and that their child was ok, she was a little disappointed when she found out she would not be having a child herself. Four years passed and the little boy named Sebastian and the little girl named Sabrina were playing in the woods one day and came across an old cottage, like the curious little girl she was Sabrina went in while Sebastian tried to stop her, failed, then joined her.

Inside was old and scary looking but then they met an old lady, and the lady gave them kindness, she then asked what their names were, and the kids answered "I'm Sabrina Green and this is my brother Sebastian Green" the witch frowned and repeated what Sabrina said

"Brother?' Sabrina nodded and the old lady grew angry. She asked if they were the children of the Greens on the hill, and Sabrina nodded. The witch grew more furious and then stood "How dare those two lied to me... I could have lived longer and been happy with a child but instead, they repay my kindness with LIES"

The witch grabbed the children, threw them in a room, and locked the door. She then tried to put a curse on the couple but realized they had stolen her protection necklace when they were there five years ago, she grew Angerer but then heard a mob outside and looked out the window. The whole town had fire, swords, and pitchforks and in the front, leading them was the couple. They were all yelling "Give the children back, give the children back"

The witch was overflowing with anger now so she unlocked the door to the room where the children were and grabbed them, threw them out her door, yelled, and pointed at the couple "Since you think lies are ok then you will regret lying for the rest of your life!"

She then put her hands in the air and spoke some words that no one understood then green lightning struck her hand, turning into a ball. Everyone stood back and the couple looked at their twins in fear and tried to run to them, but they were too late. The witch then transferred the energy to the twins.
