Realizing the fate of becoming a Witch

As Chime opened her eyes, she saw a town devoid of happiness, it's so gloomy that you would assume that someone important has died, she saw people running here and there like they were hurrying about something.

"Hey hurry up, I heard that someone turned over a witch to the authorities and they're going use the guillotine to execute her in a few days time because burning the witch on fire strengthens her." A man said as he sprinted out of sight.

"What? Burning witches? I though being a witch here makes you wield magic? Why is it that they are being killed by common people? Then I need to be careful since they'll get a reward if they know that I am a witch." Chime said as she continues to look around just to discover a burly man and a skinny man was staring at her with hunger in their eyes.

Then the skinny man approached me. "Hey, pretty lady it seems that you're new around this area, why don't you come with us? We'll show you around." Then the burly man said as he licked his lips while having a perverted face. "Yeah, come with us little missy."

"No." Chime said as she bolted out of the sight of the skinny man and the burly man.

"Woah, that's a fast chic, and here we already saw a witch and let it get away. Ughh, why don't we just capture a lot of girls and cage the together, I heard from the church that the rate of the girls transforming into witches gradually increases when the months of demons becomes closer." The skinny man said while having a pained face knowing that he just let a one gold royal get away.

"But if we did that we'll be condemned by a lot of people if what we kidnap are innocent girls." The burly man said. "Come one man be tough, we won't survive in this dog eat dog world if we will be like pussies and back away from such money generating plan, We'll just have to take little girls that is not accompanied by anyone and lock them up in the barn at the edge of the town so that no one will find them." The skinny man said as he still remember the girl's beautiful face.

Chime bolted out immediately as soon as he understood what those two men were planning to do to her and she discovered that witches here are hated and discriminated by people, she still don't know why but as for now she went to find a place with a lot of people so that she can be at ease and not be kidnapped by a random hooligan.

Chime followed the place where the people where running towards to and saw a woman that was hooded and her hands were tied behind her back. Her shabby gray garment was akin to a piece of rag. Her body was so emaciated that her ankles—the only part of her body which was exposed—seemed like they could be broken by pinching them. It was her faintly bulging chest which gave away that she was a female. She shivered terribly in the cold wind, yet she was observably trying hard to maintain her straight posture.

She looked beside her and ask the woman who was also spectating with her "Who's the boy who's being accompanied by the old man?" Chime asked curiously. "That's his highness Prince Roland Wimbledon, you don't even know who he is? I have an advice for you little girl, you should stay away from the prince since he is a lecherous man and does nothing honorable worthy of his title, given your looks I can assure you that when he sees you, he'll do anything to get you to his bed as his plaything."

There she saw the prince spacing out as he watched the girl. Then his attendant urged cautiously said "Your Highness?"

The Prince glanced at the old man and snatched the formal written orders from the attendant's hands, tossed them on the ground, stretched his arms and said languidly, "I'm tired. The judgement shall be postponed to another day. Court's dismissed!"

The members of the noble who sat with him seemed unsurprised, but a tall man wearing a suit of armor stood up and argued. "Your Highness, this isn't a joke! All witches should be put to death immediately upon being identified, or else, what can we do if other witches attempt to save her? The Church will get involved if they know of this."

The Prince frowned and replied, "Why? Are you scared?" His voice, which was full of blatant mockery, sounded natural. "How could a man, whose arms were thicker than a normal person's body, be worried about witches breaking into our prison? Does he really think that witches are the mouthpiece of the Devil?" "Won't it be better to catch a few more witches?"

As the man who's wearing an armor remained silent, The Prince signaled to his personal guards and left. The man in armor pondered for a moment before he decided to catchup with the guards and walked beside Prince Roland. The other nobles stood up and paid their respects to the prince, but Prince Roland could see the disdain and contempt in their eyes.

The townspeople dispersed as the prince was out of sight, I also came with the lady who I asked earlier and asked her if there is any inn available in the town, she led me to an inn and I thanked her for bringing me to that place.

I went inside and applied to work as a waitress so that I will have a place to stay and a stable income, fortunately even though I'm not considered pretty, I still have an acceptable face and can be considered cute. After working for 8 hours the owner of the inn showed me my room, I changed into my previous clothes and put the waitress clothes in the closet and lied down to rest because I'm so tired of what happened today, I didn't even noticed that someone was stalking me and was already outside of my door which wasn't locked because I forgot due to being tired of serving as a waitress.

When I woke up in the morning I saw noticed that I wasn't in my room and was inside a storage house with a lot of girls, when we woke up some screamed for help some even tried to bust open the door but what can a lot of delicate girls do to a massive door. In the corner I saw a girl lying in the corner crying. I approached her and tried asking "I'm Tekina Chimei what's your name?"

The little girl wiped away her tears and look at me with pleading eyes

"I'm Nana, please help me (; ^;)"
