This is my latest story. The whole story takes place way back when they were still doing witch hunts (even though I'm sure a couple hunts are still happening today...) Well I hope everyone likes the story, and I'm always happy to except ideas or critique.
The hammering could be heard through out the entire village. The pounding on the church doors, the sound was deafening. The man stopped, and admired his work. Once he stepped away, the crowd flocked to read the notice. The whispering began immediately, everyone reading the paper. How to tell a Witch, the parchment filled with facts on to tell if someone was a witch or in compact with the Devil.
You could see people's eyes dart back and forth suspiciously. As if things weren't bad enough to begin with, with this new notice the accusations will likely double maybe triple.
Hinata was walking into town to deliver a message, when she saw the crowd. She curiously walked over to see what all the commotion was. As she approached the church she spotted two of her friends, TenTen and Ino
Hinata smiled "TenTen, Ino, what is happening?" she asked.
The two girls turned around and scrutinized Hinata. TenTen glared at Hinata, flipped her brown hair back behind her shoulder, and walked off, her nose to the sky. Ino turned her attention from TenTen back to Hinata.
Ino scoffed "Haven't ye heard? The church just posted on how to tell a witch. It has the whole village gossiping." Ino said with a sly smile.
Hinata's smile quickly faded. "A witch? But there be no signs of witchcraft in the village."
Ino shrugged "It matters not. All that does matter is everyone will be accusing. If I were ye I would stick close to thee of the church council." Ino turned and walked off.
Hinata watched as Ino walked through the crowd; the people seemed to leap out of her way. "The church council?" she asked herself quietly, as she continued on through the village.
I know this was an extremely short chapter, but I'm writing the second one now so it should be up later on. I hope everyone likes it so far.
