Going way back 1693

Medieval times…

Rosemary Alorton pov [ a character I created]

I knew it was coming … the trial my trial was soon to come and be gone, I was worried I wouldn't see my dearest friend ever again Larten Crepsley, he is a vampire of the night , I wrote him a letter a fare well letter I hope he gets it in time before he moves again. I wrote in the letter the date of my Trial my witch trial. The humans believed I was a witch, when I am just a half a witch I can't possibly survive the trial the human side of me will fail me and I will perish under the flames the humans will burn we with. Me and my family of Witches are nothing of evil but of good heart it's a shame the humans do not see it. I addressed the letters and gave them to my dear friend who would deliver them for me.

It was early in the morning when I got the news of my trial I had been removed from my home and into a cell, They thought I was a Witch because my next door neighbour had gotten extremely ill and her cat had died the following week, but I did not cause any harm to the my next door neighbour or her cat.

I was bought out into the open fresh air, at first I thought I was going to be set free but my hands where chained, they began to cut my wrists and blood had already began to appear.

That's when I heard cheers, but not the sort of cheers to make you smile or encourage you ones to fear.

The crowd of humans gathered around a big pile of wood ready to watch me burn.

I was already scared I chanted out loud a spell to heal burns uncontrollably, hoping by the time I got to the flames I would be armed. The soldiers who were dragging me to the fire shoke me violently to stop me chanting.

"Stop that this instant you crooked old witch, casting spells." The solider hissed.

I was tied to a log and the fire began, it started to get hot the red flames grew and got closer to me I started coughing and began looking around the crowd of people begging them to put out the fire but that made it more entertaining for them, I was going to die.

I kept looking at the crowd but a face caught my attention a familiar face that's when I realised it was Larten crepsley he was horror shocked to see me. But how was he out here in the sun light?

That's when he flew towards me I screamed to tell him get away from the fire but as he sped past it , he was too quick for the flames, I heard a crunch I realised he had broken the metal of the chains my hands where free. And in the next second he picked me up and ran, he ran so fast everything was a blur. That's the thing with vampires they can run really fast for humans they can only see a little blur of the vampire when they ran but witches could see it a lot better the vampire didn't blur, the vampires call there ability to run fast flitting.

Larten crepsley ran all the way to the woods and lost the humans a long way back. When we came to a house well hidden in the deep woods he let me down and turned to look at me. I looked back at him and hugged him.

"Thank you, I owe you my life and if you ever do need my help you know I am here." I vowed.

Larten Crepsley smiled.

"I know I probably have bought doom on all of the witches living in the present days and those to come." Larten apologized.

Most witch trials really did held the witches to their deaths the witches had enough power to wipe the whole town dead but in there tribe rules if a witch was to be on a trial the witch had to stay and not harm the humans and just die. So that the humans would never know the witches were real for sure but now I had escaped they knew. If a witch was ever to disobey and live on and the humans found out because of the witch, the witch generals would torture and murder the witch. But if ever a Witch was saved by another creature of the night then that was permitted and Larten crepsley knew how it works. But is a rare thing to happen hardly ever Vampires and Witched cross it hardly happens.

"Don't apologize and no you haven't bought doom to us witches." I explained with another smile.

"What are you going to do now you surely can't stay here they will hunt you down." Larten asked worriedly.

"I think I am going to travel back to England and live as a maid with my grandmother." I informed him.

"That is very wise I shall come to visit you but for now I need to get you far away from here." Larten explained as Rosemary climbed onto his back. He fled though the rest of the woods.

Rosemary lived and died of old age she had grandchildren and her grand children had children the family grew on and Rosemary's vow to Larten passed on down the family tree.

Back in the time of after the third book.

Darren was performing with madam Octa on stage while Mr Crepsley was called in to a emergency conference.

Darren had gotten very talented in performing with madam Octa he was that good he asked for a volunteer that wasn't afraid of spiders.

A girl with brunette hair that reached her shoulders volunteered to the stage Darren noticed she was his age she very pretty she had green eyes and an innocent smile.

She stood next to Darren.

It toke Darren a minute to begin to move on.

"Ok what is your name?" Darren asked the girl.

"Rose." She answered.

"Have you ever held a spider before?" Darren asked again.

"Yes but never a big spider like Madam Octa." She smiled at Darren.

She said Madam Octa as if she was royalty Darren winced at the fact of Madam Octa being royal as if he thought to himself. If Darren ever got the chance to stamp on the spider without Mr Crepsley finding out he would.

"Ok sit down on that chair and I will make madam Octa crawl over to you and make her sit on your palm." Darren informed.

She sat on the chair sitting straight and crossed her legs.

"Ok audience, please I need you to be quiet." Darren demanded as he got the flute out.

Darren opened the cage and began playing the flute.

Walk out your cage He ordered as she did.

Walk over to the girl. He asked again.

Crawl up the chair and into her palm slowly.

Madam Octa crawled slowly up the chair and across the Roses shoulders she laughed as the spider crawled along her skin of her shoulder then into her palm.

After that he ordered madam Octa back to her cage. The audience applaud Darren as he bowed to show he was finished.

"Thank you Rose you did well." Darren thanked her.

"You're welcome Darren I shall see you again soon." Rose smiled.

"What?" Darren asked quickly turning to face her but she was gone.

Maybe she meant see you in the next show Darren thought to himself.

Darren was heading but to his caravan he shared with Evra Jon Alough he was eight years older than him now they were still great friends.

But something caught his hand Darren turned quickly to see who.

It was Mr Crepsley his face was pale white and Darren knew bad news was among him.

"Darren we have to leave …Now." Mr Crepsley informed .

"Why?" I turned to ask.

"Because the Vampaneze have found out about murlough." Mr Crepsley whispered.

Fear hit me in a second, we were doomed were going to die. A hell lot of Vampaneze are looking for us hunting us and they were going to win.
