232 – Burn

Two women pulled Leva from a tree, then pushed her to her knees a few feet from her friends. Another woman gave Mila a hammer and several large iron stakes.

"Are you sure you want to use that to keep this woman from moving?" Krista grimaced. "Isn't that too much?"

"We have to give them a strong shock effect. This is so they can quickly tell where Tom really is." Mila answered, looking at the four stakes in her hands. "Untie her, then lay her down on the ground."

One of the women untied Leva. The other three held the red-haired woman's body while Krista and Mila just watched.

"Sorry, I really didn't want to do this, but as Mila said, I can't rest easy if Tom isn't dead." The woman who untied Leva whispered.

I could see that some of the women in our new neighbors had their eyes open. However, they just lay quietly on the ground with their hands tied, watching what was going on. Apparently, it was their guardian spirit who asked them to stay put.
