Scarlet's Song

by Lostinawhisper

Sorry for the bad title. There is a lonely young red headed witch who lives in the woods near Salem with her only friend being a black horse. She is soon approached by the Sanderson sisters who see her as true beauty. Will they take Scarlet's life or do something else with her?

10. Together Forever

As she promised, Scarlet returned to her sisters for visits everyday. The Sandersons always enjoyed the young witch's company, even though they knew she no longer stayed with them permanently. But, one day came for Scarlet, that was to be remembered forever. No one could believe it, when they all found out some recent news. Winifred was the only one who thought of this idea before because of Scarlet's book. Scarlet was indeed the descendant of Mother Nature herself. The great fairy of nature had come back for Scarlet after searching for her for years. The Sandersons didn't want their newest sister to leave, but Scarlet new that it had to be done.

"I know I must go, but never forget my ways." Scarlet told them "I will live forever, in your hearts."

"We hate to see you leave." Winifred responded "But, we know it's what you have to do."

"Is there ever a chance we'll see you again?" Sarah asked

Scarlet sighed "I don't know." she said "Maybe, some day I will return. That is yet to come."

Everyone gave Scarlet one last hug and said goodbye to her as she left back to the garden and disappeared into mist as the young witch went through. The Sanderson's knew that it would be a very long time if they ever get a chance to see Scarlet again. That would be a time to come as what their sister said. It could have meant that it could be a time of their lives when the young witch returned if it were to happen.

As many years passed, the dust of youth kept the Sandersons young and alive forever, just as Scarlet said it would. But, they still missed having the witch of mother nature with them. Yet, one day a miracle happened. When Sarah was out, she couldn't believe what she saw. There through the trees was Scarlet. When the young witch was spotted, Sarah immediately got her sisters attention. At first they didn't believe her, but as soon as they walked outside, Scarlet was standing right there. Mother nature had set her free and now Scarlet agreed to stay with them forever more!
