Lately there have been accusations of witchcraft going throughout Salem. Originally, I was part of the cause of these accusations. I did anything Abigail told me to do and kept it a secret that we did more than dance the night we were caught in the woods.

This bravery will surely prove to them that I have no reason to lie anymore. I will be seen as an honest woman that is good in God’s
