Chapter 46: The Fall of Belzaar

1618

Christopher Dawson

They don’t have mercy on me. I know these men but that doesn’t mean they take it easy on me, especially when they discover Treaux and Timmy. A sword hilt broke my cheek. More punches to my face loosen more bones. Kicks break a couple of ribs and I’m finding it difficult to breathe. Still, they beat me. I didn’t even make it to Allison and Orion’s chamber. Bats screamed but I didn’t hear Orion. And now, I’m dragged toward the town center. From here I can smell torched flesh— ‘Where is Allison? Where is my child?’

“You don’t have to do this, Calvin, please, you must let me go… I need to—“

Simpson, an older brute, sends a punch into my gut, weakening my legs even more and the two men hold me up as someone in the back kicks me.

“You’re a traitor, Christopher. We have orders to bring you to watch the witch trials.”

No, no they couldn’t have Allison, if they have her, maybe they have Orion—My God, Allison, they’re burning all the witches.
