187âBurn The Witch, They Said
Nothing about that day went well. After Paige had rejected Keith, they were called into Mr. Tripperâs
room where Paige rested her case. Despite Keith wanting to speak to her and ask for a second
chance, she demanded rejection
Keith was asked to accept her rejection under Mr. Tripperâs surveillance. I didnât feel bad for Keith, he
deserved it.
Maynard had to take Keith out to comfort him while Paige had decided to move on.
âI will not let a stupid mate ruin this trip for me,â she pretended to be fine on the outside, but the
shivering in her body was the evidence of her agony. As for Willow, she was now highly disgusted by
everyone for breaking many mate bonds.
I donât solely blame her, but I am not sparing her from any blame, either.
âThe boys have been asked to accompany Mr. Tripper for the movie night. I heard they are planning a
driveâin theater,â Poppy exclaimed happily as she clapped her hands together. There was just
something about her that didnât strike me as innocent as she always portrayed.
âThe one with the mates will enjoy this movie night for sure,â she then sneakily slid in a taunt at Willow
and Paige.
âI donât need a mate to be happy. I can sit alone and enjoy.â Paigeâs confidence was fabulous. I didnât
have enmity with her since whatever she did, she did it for her relationship.
She wasnât the one who technically accused us.
âYou will be with Thiago?â Christina asked me. She was back to being normal.
âAnd Lazio,â I added. Thiago didnât want us to leave Lazlo out, and I appreciated his concerns for his
friend. It also showed he trusts me.
âYou are coming with Maynard?â I asked just to know where Zander would be when she was around
Maynard.
âNo! I am over him. If he can cheat on you, his true mate, he can cheat on me.â she was trying to sound
normal, but a part of her was displaying sorrow.
âHm,â I answered,
âWe should head to bed now,â I suggested since there was nothing better to do. The boys were busy,
and the girls were too occupied, pretending like they were doing fine.
âSure,â Christina too agreed. We havenât even moved a step away from our respective spots when a
bloodâcurdling scream filled the air with silence.
We all looked around and then shared eye contact.
âWhat was that?â Poppy got out of her bed and hugged herself while shivering in fear.
âIt came from down there.â Paige ran towards the window and pointed toward where the fields were.
âIt sounded like Jessica,â Christina bringing light to her existence petrified her. It wasnât until she
mentioned we noticed Jessica wasnât around.
Thave noticed after the whole thing of her trying to persuade others to rape me was exposed and she
got a penalty for it. Nobody wanted to hang around with her.
Jim was still in the prison and getting punished along with everybody else involved. She got off the
hook easily but then she acted weird.
âShe hadnât been in the room the whole day,â Paige mumbled in confusion.
âWho cares? She is a slut who thinks she gets to decide who fucks whom.â Poppy wasnât wrong. What
Jessica and the others were trying to do to me was awful. Nobody gets to steal away someoneâs
chance to say no to someone.
âBut we need to still inspect,â I suggested, and they all turned to me in bewilderment.
âI understand and appreciate your morals, but if she can get in trouble, so can we,â I then added to
inform them! wasnât doing it because I cared for her or I have forgiven her.
I just needed to know what was going on.
âOkay! Letâs head out together then,â Christina suggested, and make sure we are all together. Donât
separate,â she warned us just to make sure we didnât lose another one of us.
We all held hands and walked downstairs in pairs to inspect. The boys and Mr. Tripper were away at
the sight where they were arranging the driveâin theater.
Once we had walked out of the building, we looked around and shrunk away because of the cold. It
was freezing cold with the wind blowing the cornfields in a rhythm.
âIt looks so creepy.â Christina whispered. I felt her fingers tightening against my hand in fear. We
stopped in the middle of the road after we have come far from the building.
âHelp me!â
A voice suddenly made us aware of somebody needing help in the fields. It was filled with so much
need and agony that my heart sank in my chest.
*There is somebody there,â Christina jumped to point at someone in the middle of the fields.
It was too dark, so we could only see a dark figure standing in the middle of the field and crying for
help.
âPlease! Somebody help me,â
It sounded like a womanâs voice, a mixture of Jessicaâs but not exactly hers.
âHey!â Christina called out for the woman, who stopped calling for help and turned to us. I couldnât be
sure, but it looked like her body moved.
âCan you hear us?â Poppy called out.
âPlease help me,â the woman cried again.
âCan you follow our voice and come out of the fields? We will help you here,â I was the one who yelled
for her this
time.
âI am stuck! Please come save me. I need your help, please!â she was begging and crying while asking
for our help.
âWhat do we do now, girls?â Paige asked when turning to us.
âWe should send Willow to help her out,â Poppy suggested wickedly. Willowâs face turned blue. She
tried pulling away from Poppy but she was gripping her hand.
âI mean; she should face some consequences for her actions. She should direct her here,â Poppy
continued to push Willow into the fields.
âI donât want to do, please! I am scared,â Willow whimpered.
âWhy? You werenât scared when you slept with our mates and had bdsm, and threesomes with them.
Heck! You werenât even scared when you tried to trick the others.â Paige finally let out her anger after
pretending to be fine for hours.
âYeah! You should go into the fields,â Poppy was almost taunting her and looking away from the
severity of the situation.
âI don ât think I caân help her,â Willow was shaking at the idea. Her knees were shivering too. We all
knew she couldnât help that woman, nobody can. It was a clear case of manipulation.
âGuys! Stop!â Christina yelled, âI will go,â she decided.
