Witch Trials(Partly based on Paranorman).
(This is partly based on Paranorman, so it would be good if you have seen it. But its not that much based on it so if you havn't seen it then that is okay too. I'm gong to play female for this one, sorry. If you're looking to do a doubel with me then look at my other wanted threads please. This is High Cas. to Low Adv. meaning a paragraph or more in writing. Thank you!)

They came to America to be free. Free to live their own lives. Free to do as they wished. Free to have their religion the way they wanted to. But, after a time of living there, things began getting out of control. That was when the witch trials started. Due to the witch trails, many people were tried and hanged for 'witch craft'. No one would have though that this judge would go as far as to accuse a litle girl, who was just eight years old, of witch craft. This shocked many people, but they went along with it and called the girl a witch. They came to her home, and tried to take her away to be hanged.
-
But she ran. She ran into the forest. As far as she could. The woods were the very place that she met with him. A young boy that was just two or three years older then herself. But, he was strange. He wore such different clothes, and had technology that she had never seen before. She had talked with him before. He was always there he was her friend, yet no one else could see him. Still, she looked to this boy as help, and he hid her. He saved her and took care of her the best he could. And, when they thought it was safe for her, he brought her out of their hiding place. They had planned to run away. He told her he was going to take her to where he lived and that she would be safe. She got her hopes up for nothing.
-
The boy could not bring her with him, and was fading away. The last thing the boy saw was the little girl being dragged away to her death, screaming his name.
-
This boy was seer. He had powers no one else could imagine. He could see ghosts, and even, in some instances, could, through spirits and images, could travel back in time. That was how he met the little girl. She became his only friend, since he had none in his own time,a nd she was the only one who could see him in that time. But, because she was the only one who could see him, and she had been seen talking to 'thin air' she had been called a witch and had been killed. All because of him.
-
He had never returned to that time after her death. In fact, he guess that the girl was the only reason he had been brought to that time in the first place. He never found out that the little girl really had been a witch, and that, before her death, she had placed a curse on the judge who put her to death. Her curse, unknown to the boy, was said to make the judge, and his six followers, rise from the graves every year. Now only that, but the little girls spirit was said to rise as well, and kill anyone who tried to stop her.
-
Strangely though, the only thing that could stop her, was a bed time story. One her mother used to read to every night. There was an older seer who came to the grave sight on the day of the girl's death every year, and read the story to her before she could even wake. This kept her curse from coming each year.
-
But, now the old seer has died.
-
That old man, was the boy's grandfather. The old seer had never told her grandson that he too was a seer, or about his task every year, until ater he died. His ghost told the boy, who was now a teen ager, of the task, and told him that he had to be the one to soothe the witch. He was told to get the book from his grandfather's room, though was not told it was just a story book, and read it at the witches grave sight. The teenaged boy grabbed the book and ran to the graves, only to find that it was just a fairytale book, not a spell book. Confused, he tried reading it anyway. Something went wrong though and as the seven corpes rose from the graves, and a great storm brewed over head.
-
Only then did he realize that he had been reading the book in the wrong place! He had been reading it at the graves of the judge and his six followers, not at the witch's grave! The only question was that, since those who died in the trails had un marked grave, where was she buried? And what would he do when he found out the witch was actually the little girl he had once tried to save long ago?
-------
Kay, so basically, the fairytale, unknown to the boy, is supposed to put the little girl's ghost to sleep for another year. This dosn't really fix the problem all together though, it just holds it off, seeing as other the years, the girl's ghost gets angrier and angrier. Anyway, this rp can go a lot of ways, and can end a lot of ways, but we can figure that out along the way.
