Far away from the open land of Wittleland, in a dark and shabby hut, an old lady sat. The wrinkles on a face were visible while her eyes which were pitch black in colour stared at nothing in particular. Her long hair had turned white with time due old age. With some little light passing through from the moon her ugly and old face could be seen.
"We have done everything you had requested and soon everything will go according to your plan." A young man who had appeared informed the lady while bowing not ready to meet her eyes.
"Well well,, I am glad that you brought good news with you," a small smile was quick to appear before it vanished. "Make sure nothing gets out of hand because I won't tolerate defeat." Came the threatening words from the old Lady.
"If I may ask,,why didn't you kill the woman while she was still pregnant that way it could have been easy since she appeared weak or were you preserving her for later?" Asked the young boy though he was not sure if his mistress would answer.
"You don't have to know everything, just do what you are asked to do. Now leave my sight before I eat you alive." The young man didn't wait to be told twice.
After a very long time of waiting,,her plans were about to be fulfilled. She could not imagine how happy she was going to be but one thing was clear,, gaining back her powers was certain. With her powers back she was sure to create havoc.
She had made her strike without anyone knowing what had happened.
*****************************************
The village elder Mr Krogstad couldn't believe that Robert and his entire family had fooled him along with the village gaining their trust. He wondered why the family did not attack anyone or if they had other plans.
"I'm disappointed in you Robert" came the remarks from Krogstad who stood near the Wells' family.
Lowering his head,, Robert avoided Mr Krogstad who was kind to him "it is not what you are thinking,, believe me when I say that my family and I had no I'll intentions towards the villagers and what happened today"sighing he raised his head to look at the people around " what happened today can't be explained as it's beyond our control." Robert finished his statement.
There were murmurs in the crowd which Robert and his family could not hear. Victoria was crying not understanding what was going on.
"So you have accepted that your family is of witches and we all know that once a witch always a witch," Mr Krogstad turned towards the crowd " I will be sincere,,we all know what happens to witches therefore the entire family will be beheaded and burnt."
