"Uh... Uh.." I stuttered, at loss for words. I couldn't get my brain to work, everything in me suddenly froze, and my nerves shut down.
I felt someone grab me by my arm, waking me back up, it was Austin's mom. "I said, get out of here, you peasant!"
She was dragging me out of the room. "No, please! Let go" the way she was dragging me was humiliating.
"Ma'am.."
She stopped at Jake's voice. "Shut up, Jake, I do not want to hear a single word from you! What has this witch done to you?! She bewitched you and Austin! She's got to leave us alone! She needs to get out of our lives for good! I promised your mother that I would take care of you, treat you like my child, protect you, especially from witches and whores like this thing!" She said referring to me.
