VENGEANCE

Hallows Hill, England
31st October 1665, year of the Black Death
She daren’t glance down at the marked trapdoor beneath her feet. A trickle
of sweat raced down the bridge of her nose. Black hair whipped her face in
the threatening breeze, wrapping itself around the thick rope. Rain attacked
her face, soaking her black dress and forming a puddle beneath her tatty
boots.

Across the town, she could see him, hiding in the shadows. Waiting for
the moment that would change Hallows Hill forever. He couldn’t even
watch. The coward. Even though she ‘repulsed’ him, he couldn’t bear to
face the consequences of his actions. A crow shrieked. A group of them
were huddled on the town wall, shifting from foot to foot impatiently.
Two minutes to go. A gust of wind blew through the dark, narrow
cobbled streets, where rats scurried in the shadows.

They were everywhere
these days. The Ale House pub sign flapped and creaked as an empty
tankard rolled into the gates of the new graveyard. She’d carved the
incantations on the blank stone herself, and hidden the key underneath – for
next time. The dim, yellow oil lamp outside the weaver’s cottage flickered
just as two horse-drawn carriages crossed each other under a stone archway.

Heavy drops of rain hit the ground, splashing onto the worn cobblestones.
One minute to go. The drums rumbled to life. The crowd were still,
zombie-like. He had them under his control. It was the main reason he
became mayor. So that he could turn the village against her and force them
to share his belief that she worshipped the devil and summoned evil spirits.
One day he would learn the truth. If being able to help people with her
powers made her a witch, then her confession was worth it. And that
brought her here.

Any second now. The church clock ticked. The drum roll struck. Bom.
Bom. Barom bom-bom-bom. Bom. Bom. Barom bom-bom-bom.
The church clock tolled nine o’clock.
The drum roll stopped. Silence.
She looked at him with a wounded glint in her eyes. The mayor. She
pointed a finger at his shaded face and focused her mind on it and nothing
else.

She swallowed. Her eyes switched from brown to a blazing orange. A
burning energy twisted deep inside her gut and ripped through her heart and
into her arms. It felt different this time. Painful. Magic should only be used
for good, not evil, but she had no choice. It drained her of everything she
had left.
“Yersinia pestis!” She screamed the word to inflict the Plague.
Lightning bolted from her finger, a bright jolt of it, and headed straight
for his body.

The mayor jerked backwards, losing all control of his limp arms and legs.
As he collapsed to the ground, the crowd drew in a gasp of shock. The
scavengers didn’t hesitate. Twitching their noses at the smell of new blood,
a mounting number of crows and rats abandoned the Plague victims they’d
been feasting on to pile on top of him, squealing in delight at the prospect
of fresh food. A few seconds later, the mayor’s cries faded.
