3 Burn

I could feel the flames licking at my feet. My shoes were going to catch on fire very soon. As I looked around to see the crowd, I could see them dancing around the fire, that would soon burn me alive.

" Help me, please!!!" I shouted, but nobody cared. In fact they were celebrating.

I was starting to get dizzy, and it felt like I was going to faint.

"Help! Someone! Anyone! Please, I'm not a witch!"

Still no one listened. As I looked at the crowd, my vision got blurry. It felt like I was going to boil alive. I felt furious, I was so furious because they didn't care. It felt like I was going to explode. I wanted them to feel the pain they inflicted on me. I wanted them to burn. I wanted ALL of them to burn!

"Aahhhhh!"

Someone from the crowd started to scream. I searched for the person to see why they yelled. There was someone being burned by blue flames.

Then in a sudden flash, the whole crowd was being consumed by blue flames.

My vision blurred again, and I started to feel my shoes catch on fire. Then, what seemed like a shadow, untied me and carried me away.

Everything was starting to fade. I could feel myself fainting, soon everything was dark.

I woke up in what seemed like an old cabin. I was laying in a bed made of old wood. The blankets on the bed were, what seemed to be cotton. The room was small and had one window, which was closed, and had a curtain hanging over it, making the room dark. Across from the window was the door. Since I didn't know where I was, I figured that I should probably leave. People still think I'm a witch, so I should be cautious.

As I put my feet on the ground while getting out of bed, I felt a sharp pain on my feet.

It must be from the fire last night.

I looked down to see how bad the injury was, but to my surprise, my feet were bandaged.

I finally managed to get out of bed and stand up, but the pain of both my broken leg, and my feet was too much so I had to sit back down.

What was I going to do? What if the villagers still want to burn me? How am I going to get away?

Suddenly, I heard the door start to open. Panicked, I reflexively stood to run, but I immediately fell to the floor.

I was helpless to anyone who would want to hurt me.

So, to try and hide myself, I pulled the planet from my bed over myself, and then I rolled under the bed.

Then I waited.

"Creeeeaaak!!"

The door is fully open now and I can hear slow footsteps.

I take the blanket off so I can see who is in the room. All I could see from under the bed was a pair of black leather boots. They were slowly moving towards the bed.

When they finally reached the bed they stopped.

Then the person slowly knelt down to check under the bed.

Realizing I was about to be found, I covered myself with my blanket again, but it was too late because the person had already found me, and they did not look happy.
