a/n: so here is the next part. i was intending to make it longer, but i think where i left it works fine. I know exactly what i want to do next chapter, so i shouldn’t have any issues getting chapter seven out. this one was incredibly difficult for me tho.
All that ensnared your vision was the ring of fire; the tall embers came nearer still, hissing in their hellish dance and whipped ravenously as the torches were swung around. The faces beyond the flames were of men and women you knew, of bakers and farmers you had sowed fields and kneaded bread with. There among the warped visages of hatred, you saw the frail widows with a penchant for gossiping, the very same who pulled you from daily tasks to test their newest addition of aromatic teas.
Among the circle of villagers that approached, yet held their torches closer, there wasn’t one you didn’t recognize. There was not a single one who had not welcomed you into this world the day you were born all those years ago. They were the same who had glimmers of warmth in their eyes that radiated across their faces, and they were the same who’s chants carried amid your aunt’s screams as smoke suck inside your nostrils and the acrid sting in the air nearly made you vomit.
They were the same who didn’t notice you clawing your cousin against your body, smothering her cries and hard gulps of air against your shoulder. That day you felt any remnants of who she once was crumble away.
