HIS SECRETS

Magdalene was intrigued by what he had said so she waited for him to continue.

"Just like you've heard, my father Lord Lucca was against witchcraft and magic, he despised it with every thing in him. One day he took me to witness the beheading of witches. It was done just outside the castle. The crowd that had gathered couldn't even fit in. Then they brought in witches who had been shackled like slaves. They looked battered and malnourished. They had a look of hate and malice in their eyes. It terrified me to see it.

"You were terrified?" She asked in surprise.

"I was seven Maggie. Vampire age" He replied and she understood what he meant..." It was my first time to see people beheaded in front of me"

"It's not something everybody can handle" She replied, recalling when Katherine was killed with the other guards who were beheaded, including Patricia.
