Chapter 2: BURN THE WITCH

First chapter to test how well my readers love the book. I'll start releasing the other chapters tomorrow. I hope you enjoy.

----------------

Seven year old Magdalene stood by the window side watching the children play close to the small river side. She sighed and blinked her eyes so she doesn't cry. She was used to this dejected feeling. Magdalene had silver hair, a very strange yet beautiful hair, her hair flew to her waist and was glittering like crystals. She had strange blue eyes. Blue eye were very common, but what made everyone tag the girl a witch was because she had the strangest eyes anyone had ever seen.

Most parents wouldn't let their children play with her saying she would infect them. The little girl didn't understand why she was being treated that way. She would only cry silently and only her grandma could comfort her. Magdalene was too beautiful to be human they would say, not many could look into those daring eyes that made you intimidated and make you feel like they've seen your darkest secrets. Among the whole village children, Magdalene was the prettiest, her skin was white as snow and soft as rose petals.

Fragile little thing didn't Know her fault in being too beautiful, she only thought she looked very normal.

"Go play with your mate" old granny said to Magdalene.

"They are going to call me a witch" Magdalene said with tears.

"Don't mind what people say about you. You'll always be my little angel" Granny comforted.

She dried her tears and ran out of the cottage to go meet the children who were singing merrily.

"Here comes the witch!" Peter the bully yelled and the little kids began laughing at her.

"She isn't a witch" Annabelle defended.

Annabelle is Magdalene sister but the two differed in appearance, why Magdalene had long white hair and blue eyes. Annabelle had black short hair and black eyes.

"Stop defending her Belle. She's a witch" Another kid added and they began to sing.

"Kill the witch"!!!

Angry Magdalene glared at Peter her gaze was so strong as tears left her beautiful eyes. What no one noticed, was the way her eyes switched Between gold and blue. her eyes turned into fire slits and gold spec appeared in them.

"I wish he could just drown in the river and die" She thought to herself.

Peter who was originally playing with the children began walking towards the small river.

"Peter where are you going"One of the kids asked, but the boy moved like he was hypnotized. His eyes were still fixated on the river as he moved into it.

The river was deep enough to swallow any child, the boy kept going further and deeper making the children yell in fright but no one could move to stop him. They all panicked and nobody paid attention to Magdalene who was still staring at Peter.

"Let's go call for help" One the children yelled and few others ran into the village with him, screaming help!!.

Magdalene stood like a robot and watched the water swallow the kid. Many elders ran towards the river and they wasted no time in diving in. Not long after they came out with a dead boy.

They tried all means to bring him back but he was already gone. Wailing filled the air , both children and adults cried.

"How did this happen" The mother of the dead child asked in tears.

"We were all playing until Magdalene came , and Peter insulted her, then he began to move into the river" A child explained.

"You infected him with your bad luck you witch. wherever you go bad things always seem to happen" The woman accused.

The others glared at the girl and advice their children to stay away from her. They had no evidence in labelling her a witch so they couldn't just kill her , but this was enough to make mischief.

"Burn the witch!" Someone yelled in the crowd and they all began to yell. " Burn the witch! "

Granny rushed out of the cottage with her son Gaius.

"Stop!! You wouldn't dare harm an innocent child because of your stupid belief" Gaius yelled and everyone went silent.

"Where's the evidence that's she's a witch,did you see her doing a ritual or making portions" Granny cried and the villagers began to murmur against themselves.

When no one said anything, Gaius Walked to the girl and picked her up.

"Thank you Papa" She said and he cleaned her tears.

"Annabelle, let's go home" He told the smaller child and left with his family.

The night came and Magdalene lay on the bed sleeping, as she drifted into the dream world. She saw herself walking towards the water that night and the wind blew around her.

"Oh Mag- da-lene" The voice as soft as the wind called her.

" Who are you" she yelled as her voice echoed.

"I am you" it replied.

" This isn't where you should be. Your destiny awaits you" Another voice said, this time harsher and fiercer .

"Go away!!" she cried.

" Magdalene!!!!!" it screamed.

Her eyes opened and she shivered in fear and tears. What was strange was that she was wet and that she wasn't at home, but was sorrounded with people.

" What happened" She asked her father who looked panicked and worried.

"One of the villagers who had gone to get water from the river found you inside" Gaius explained.

Her eyes widened in shock, but she was sleeping on her bed last night.
