16. Travelling
Lily was more than lucky that no one else found out about her powers. From now on flying was her hobby. She loved the feeling of how the air blew threw her hair, how she was floating on the cool wind. But that was going to change soon.
This afternoon more and more man of the inquisition arrived at Dracula´s castle and chased all the witches outside. It was easy to find out that they wanted them to move to another place. Maybe to the deadly end? Maybe not? They weren´t allowed to ask any questions. On their way Lily and the other´s had to go through the village. The people there stood in lines at every corner. Just to watch and laugh.
"Now you´ll get what you deserve!", one woman called to them. Other ones threw eggs and tomatoes at them.
Tears were streaming down Lily´s face. Why didn´t Dracula do something? Where were they going? Her hands were tied on her back. Every other witch was captured, too.
One woman tried to escape. The inquisition went over to her immediately and started whipping her. Lily started whimpering. Before the Witch Hunt began she had never seen violence. She had grown up in peace. And there were pictures in her mind: Her father. How he grew her up, how she experienced so much love from him. And how Dracula took him away.
Her legs were moving on their own, slowly. But her thoughts were racing. She´d never met her mother. Destiny didn´t want that. No! Dracula didn´t want that! He broke her heart! He was it who tormented all those women for fun and money! Everything was Dracula´s fault!
Lily looked behind her. The woman, the inquisition had whipped was dead and lay in a pool of blood. The other witches just moved on. Only Lily stood still for a few seconds.
These were a million seconds too long. She felt the whip coming down on her back. She nearly fell, what would have cost her more whip lashes but Cassandra pushed her forward and back into the line, they were walking in.
Now she noticed that they had already left the village behind and were walking on a field. The sun was burning down on the woman and made walking even harder. Lily kept weeping. How a baby she seemed, because the inquisition laughed at her.
Far, far behind she could see a castle. It also could be a single tower. she couldn´t tell. She was too blinded by tears.
They kept walking and walking. Her legs became heavier. Lily needed time to rest but the inquisition didn´t allow that. The whole world was about money and pain.
Lily didn´t think anymore. She was just going, crying silently to herself.
Depressing, I know. But I want to show how hard the life of so called witches was. Sorry, but I didn´t mean to upset anyone of you. I´ll try to update faster now, but only if you review. Tell me what you think! If you don´t like it, tell me! If you like it, tell me! Just review. Thanks.
