Doctor Who:
The Witches of Salem
Prologue
The moonlight shines over the quiet town of Salem. But the silence is broken with the piercing sound of shouting and fighting.
"You harlot, you disgusting girl, you slut", Elizabeth Proctor yells at the top of her lungs, her words cutting through the peaceful night like a scissors cutting paper. A girl of about 17 is pushed out of the house. Her black hair fades in with the darkness of the night, as if she should be part of the night itself. She is beautiful, but carries a sinister smile, and a face the screams immediate distrust. Her clothing and her luggage is thrown out the door.
"Calm down Elizabeth, you must not blame her. This tragedy is of my doing, you know it true", John Proctor says, trying to calm down his angry wife. He stands a fair distance from her, as he knows her pain and fury is rightful, and that, if there was a time to be afraid of his lovely wife, it was at this moment.
"John, I saw her for a harlot the moment I saw her, I knew that she was to bring bad things onto this household", Elizabeth yells. She now seems less angry, but more sad. Sad because of the betrayal that she has witnessed first hand that day.
"T'was your husband's fault mam. He seduced, told me that if I did not comply with his wishes he would fire me right on the spot", the 17 year old Abigail Williams yelled back at the house she was being thrown out of. Putting on a face of sadness and fright. But Elizabeth and John both knew that she was lying, and that she would do anything to spark argument.
"Elizabeth you must believe me, those are all lies. She tells many lies.", John spouted out, starting to lose his calmness.
"I do believe you John. This girl is bad, and holds more lies than the devil", Elizabeth remarked.
"The dark sky falls with all of its might. And as day does call for the powerful night. For this shall end soon enough mam... Your puny little mind will be crushed with the words of the night that will last forever", Abigail stated. Changing her tone of voice, and walking closer to Elizabeth.
"Just get out of here you crazy girl, and absolutely never come back... Do you understand" John Proctor announced with a confident and commanding voice.
"Do not assume I will disappear. For I will never be invisible. When the time is right you will see me again. And that, good sir, will be the worst day in your miserable and unremarkable life.
As Abigail Williams drifted into the bitter darkness, and as the door closes swiftly, the warm light of the Proctor home disappears.
"John... Why would you do such a thing... Why would you betray me. Especially with the insane girl"
"I am so sorry Elizabeth, you know that I am." John responded to Elizabeth in a very subtle whisper.
"What was she talking about at the end, she talked about the worst day of our live. What does that mean?" She was starting to feel afraid, and tears started to drift down her face.
"Absolutely nothing my dear. She was just being crazy. Okay?"John Proctor responded, trying his hardest to comfort his frightened wife without feeling too much guilt. He put his hands on his wife's shoulders, and pulled her close. He kissed her on the forehead as to comfort his wife, and as a display of apology. He hugged his wife closely. As the the dark night started to fade into day, he held his wife as she cried all of her sadness away. But John was scared. So scared. Not only was he scared his loving marriage would fail, but he was also scared of Abigail. For he feared that her words had some meaning. And that he would remember those words for the rest of his life.
Abigail moves silently along the streets of Salem. Watching and snickering at all of the houses. She moves along the street, only to end up at the house of Reverend Parris. She silently strides through the dark house, and enters the room of Betty Parris. Betty Parris is blonde, and is only six years old. Abigail pulls a small container from her pocket. She opens the container and pours it into Betty's mouth.
"I am sorry cousin, for tomorrow you will be sick, and the accusations will begin. Tomorrow is the beginning of the brand new Carrionite Empire!
