"Am I a witch too ?" you ask just as your mom and dad (presumably a married Sorceress and Warlock ) come up
the stairs and hear your question.
Suddenly all is so silent you could hear the proverbial Pin drop.
So seconds you're afraid that somehow things got busted
aand time has stopped but then you realize with a rising horror
in your gut that Jane ,your mom and dad are staring at you
like you've just uttered a "WHOPPER"
The other three exchange worried glances and then as a team
they gently lead you to a sofa in the living room downstairs
and set you down.
Your sorceress mother goes to the wall unit where she keeps
all the scrapbooks and photo albums and pulls one out
labelled
Coleen Drusilla Penderghastly (you )
and whilst she's figuring out how to break the news to you
your sister Jane goes into the kitchen to brew some
calming tasty
Newts Eyes Coffee
and you Warlock dad fetches a Film Projector and a can of
old 16 mm home movie film labelled Salem Vacation 1920
the Pendergast Family Vacation
Your father threads the ancient silent home movie into
the Projector,and once the lights are turned off
the projector whirs away whilst your dad runs the narrative
for your benefit.
Basically you were born a baby girl in 1916,more
then a century in the past .
Up till Hallows Night 1920 you had been a norman four year
old toddler and Jane,your dad and mother had been a perfectly
happy normal family with your father being a assembly line
worker at Plymouth Motors making Plymouths,a sort
of Model T knockoff.
Then your parents had made the fateful decsision to take
their two young daughters to Salem,home of the Salem Witch Trials for some Halloween trick or treating in the Pendergast
familys sputtering Plymouth.
At this point your mother and sister returned and sat on the
sofa and your sis pointed to the flickering jerky
silent home movie that showed 4 year old you in a witches
costume and cryin away buckets because you didn't want to
be in a witches costume or trick or treating for that matter.
Behind the old black and white moving picture you could see a
ancient eerie looking graveyard where the Salem witches were
buried and where those witches supposedly consorted with the
Devil.
At which point the ancient Pendergast home movie ended.
Your dad continued the rest of what had happened that long ago
night.
You'd run through the open gates of that graveyard and suddenly the gates had slammed shut
and refused to reopen as your frantic parents had tried to get
into that eerie graveyard to rescue their toddler daughter.....
