My family descends from Salem and was able to hide what we were during the trials. When the trials ended, my family moved to the South. What people do not realize is that witches can live thousands of years if they are 100 percent witch. I was my parents' first child born in the home they had built in St Augustine. Or what is now known as St Augustine.
Waking up in my wing of the home, I heard knocking on my suites main door. Putting on a robe I opened the door, and the family butler, Markenson, put a finger to his lips and said, "In."
He came in and locked the door. He quietly said, "Miss Lily, we have a problem."
"Please tell me there is no witch hunters in town today."
"I wish it was that simple," He said. "I overheard that your Grandfather is trying to set you up in an arranged marriage."
Looking at hmi I burst out laughing, "You cannot be serious."
There was another knock at the door. I pointed to the servant entrance and whispered, "Its okay I got this."
Once he was in the servants' area I answered the door to my brother and he looked livid. He said, "I sa Markenson come in here; where is he?"
Before I could cover for him, Markenson appeared behind me and said, "I only wanted to protect miss Lily."
James said, "Markenson its alright I am hoping you can help me get Lily out before father formalizes the contract. If anyone finds out what Lily or our family are, we could be killed."
"Why would Grandfather do this?" I asked, sitting down, "It is not like our family is poor."
James said, "I think he wants to do this as a political alliance."
"With me as the bargaining chip?"
Markenson said, "Lily you are a string witch. That is what I believe he is bargaining with."
James looked at the clock and said, "Lily pack a bag and be ready I am going to get you out of here."
Now i know what your thinking. Lily you must live in the 1700's. I wish. I live in the year 2026.
Lily- main
Markenson- Butler
James- Brother
