May 1693-
Adelaide made her way through the trees. It was dark, but she was able to make her way through with the little light she had.
Suddenly she was pulled off the path. She was going to scream, but a large hand covered her mouth.
"It's me, my love", he whispered.
She calmed down and he let her go. She turned and pushed him gently.
"You scared me", she whispered.
He laughed softly. He placed his hands against her cheeks and kissed her. She had been seeing Roman for almost two years now.
He pressed her up against a tree. She could feel him lifting her dress and giggled, pressing her hands against his chest. Stopping him.
"We've been together two years my love. I've been good. I think I deserve some kind of prize", he said, smiling down at her.
"And my virtue is the prize you want?", she asked.
He smiled.
"Only if you want to give it", he said softly.
She placed her hands against his. There was something about her he didn't know. She didn't know how he would react. Would he run and point the rest at her? Or would he stand by her?
Before she could answer, her cousins Carmella and Bayley appeared.
"We have to go.", Carmella said.
Adelaide nodded. She looked at Roman.
"Let me think about it?", she asked.
He nodded and let her go. She followed her cousins to their home. Once inside, her mother Brie set a protection spell on the door, just like all the windows had.
"You were cutting it short there girls", she said.
"Sorry aunt Brie", Carmella said.
The spells were to protect them from Evil spirits or spells others tried to put on them. Especially from Bray Wyatt. He was also the cause of the witch trials.
They knew every single witch in their small town. So when they wrongly accused someone, they couldn't help but feel a bit bad. They also couldn't say anything without being accused themselves.
"He wants me. If you just hand me over, this will end", Adelaide said.
"No. We would just be giving him what he wants. He won't stop this", her aunt Nikki said.
Bray was a warlock. He thrived on evil, war, and death. He wanted Adelaide, claiming she was stronger than any witch he had ever met. After Brie declined him her daughter's hand. He made a vow to cause them pain in any way he knew how.
The witch trials was one of them. They couldn't use their powers without being watched. One small move, one accusation and they would be hanged.
She followed her cousins to their room.
"Can I ask you both a question?", she asked.
Both girls nodded. Carmella was a year older than her and Bayley.
"How did you both tell Seth and Dean about you being, you know?", she asked.
"He was scared at first. For a second I swore he was going to run and tell everyone. He didn't. I made sure to tell him I was a good witch. Never hurt anyone and I never would", Bayley said.
"Same with Dean. Although he did run, but found me by the river and apologized. That's not really something someone is ready for", Carmella said.
Adelaide nodded.
"Are you planning to tell Roman?", Bayley asked.
She nodded.
"We've been together two years. I can't continue to keep this secret from him. If he's going to love me, he should know", Adelaide said.
The girls nodded.
Alexa made her way into the dark part of the woods. She knew she would find Bray there.
"I have a deal for you", she shouted.
She knew she shouldn't be out here alone. She was far from her small town. The same one Roman was at. Day in and day out he ignored her. Then she had seen them together, he was seeing Adelaide secretly.
Usually couples didn't say anything till they were ready. She knew Roman was ready when she tried to kiss him and he turned her down. Peyton and Billie had told her that they had been seeing each other a while.
"What?", Bray asked, scaring her.
She cleared her throat.
"I know you want the Bella girl. I can get her for you", Alexa said.
"How?", he asked.
"By taking the one thing that's keeping her happy.", Alexa said.
Bray nodded. She had caught his attention.
"She won't accept you because she has another. His name is Roman Reigns", Alexa said.
Bray stopped pacing.
"And let me guess, he's what you want", Bray said.
"Can you do it?", she asked.
Bray nodded and walked away. She followed. Finding a broken down house. It was covered in vines. The windows were broken.
She followed him in and he walked over to a shelf. Grabbing a vile with green liquid.
"You get him and I get her. In order for this to be complete you must lay with him. A kiss between you two is needed in order to activate the spell after he takes a drink of this", he said.
She nodded. She went to reach for it and he pulled it back.
"If she does it, the cycle will repeat itself, till she can't take it anymore and comes to me to end her suffering, or he kills her It's the only way to break the spell.", he said.
"So then I'll kill her", Alexa said.
"It can't be done by you. It would have to be him", Bray said.
"I get it", Alexa said.
He gave it to her.
"Remember what I said. If they break the spell, I keep your soul", Bray said.
Alexa swallowed, but nodded. He laughed and she quickly left. She knew when she had to do it. He and his friends always stopped by the bar during the day.
Roman took a detour home after work. He was one of the guards who watched the town.
Seeing Adelaide walk home after she washed her laundry by the river, he caught up to her. Taking the basket.
"Oh, thank you", she said.
"So, have you thought about what we discussed?", he asked.
She met his eyes.
"I have to tell you something and I don't know how you're going to react. I'm afraid", she said.
He stopped them and cupped her chin in his hand. Making her face him. He leaned down and kissed her.
"You can trust me my love", he said.
She looked around. They were alone. She met his eyes. Pulling away, she walked over to some flowers and grabbed a handful of dirt.
Opening her palm, he chuckled.
"What am I looking for?", he asked.
Then he noticed a flower growing. He dropped her basket and backed away.
"You're a...", he stopped.
"I'm good. I would never hurt anyone", she said, feeling tears well up.
"Am I under a spell? Did you force me to fall in love with you?", he asked quickly and panicking.
Her tears fell.
"No. Like I said, I'm a good witch. Love spells require a bit of evil. I would never do that to you", she said softly.
He shook his head and left quickly. Adelaide cried softly. She knew she might have just doomed herself. Although apart of her told her he would never tell.
The next day, there was a town meeting. Rosa was tied to a pole. Alexa had accused her after Rosa caught her sneaking in during the night.
"Are you sure it was her Alexa?", Hunter asked.
"Yes. She showed up at my window saying something I couldn't understand. Next thing I know I was in the middle of the woods naked. She was watching me. Her hands were glowing", Alexa cried.
Brie and Nikki wanted to help their friend. Rosa was a witch, but a good one. Rosa looked at them and lightly shook her head. She wouldn't allow them to get hurt. They had their daughters to think about.
"Witch", someone yelled.
"Hang her", another yelled.
"She'll be hanged at sundown", Hunter said.
They took Rosa away. Adelaide glared at Alexa, knowing very well she had just lied. She knew Alexa was a witch, but she was willing to do whatever was necessary to get what she wanted.
"What do you think she's up to?", Carmella asked.
"I don't know, but it's not good", Adelaide said.
"Girls, let's go", Brie said.
Carmella and Bayley left her side. Adelaide turned, feeling someone's eyes on her. Seeing it was Roman.
She looked down and left after her family.
Roman watched as everyone turned on Rosa quickly. He couldn't allow Adelaide to have that same fate. The hangings were brutal to watch.
Dean and Seth went over to him.
"Hey, are we still grabbing a drink?", Dean asked.
Roman nodded. They walked to the bar. Taking a table at the back. Seth brought over the beers.
"What's wrong with you? You've had this look on your face since last night", Seth said.
"Adelaide just told me something I don't know how to take. It could mean her death", Roman whispered.
"She's a witch", Dean said.
Roman looked up at him and Seth did as well.
"Carmella", Dean said.
They looked at Seth and he nodded.
"And you don't care?", Roman asked.
"At first I did, I ran. Then paced, yelled, and accused. She explained it all to me, how it works for good witches", Dean whispered.
"Same here. She was so afraid to tell me", Seth said.
"I accused her of putting a spell on me. You should have seen the look on her face. I think that's what got to me most. The hurt look", Roman said.
Dean and Seth nodded.
"We should go and see them tonight. You need to make things right with Adelaide", Dean said.
Roman nodded.
"Let's finish here", Seth said.
Alexa had seen the men walk into the bar and it wasn't any place for her. She walked in and was met with the worst smell ever.
She held her breath and ordered three beers. It was the only way to get him to drink it. Once they were handed to her, she poured the liquid Bray gave her into one of the beers.
She walked over and set down the drinks. Making sure to give Roman his.
"Beers on me boys. For protecting our small town from evil", she said.
She placed her hand on Roman's shoulder and he moved it away.
"Thank you", the three men said.
Alexa watched as they each took a drink. Right after Roman set his down, she grabbed his face and kissed him.
Step one was done.
He pulled away and stood.
"What the hell is your problem? I'm spoken for Alexa", Roman said, wiping his mouth with the back of her hand.
He walked out. Dean grabbed his friends unfinished beers and poured them into one. Taking it with him.
Alexa smirked. She would shapeshift into Adelaide tonight and meet him at his house. Completing the bond.
