The dark clouds thicken
A chilled wind blows
Dead grass rustles in the wind
The wind howls chilling your bones
The furry little animals scurry for cover
In burrows, hollows and caves
The lightning flashes
And thunder shakes the earth
A little girl stands on a hill
Not shivering from the cold
Nor flinching from the storm
As always she stands alone
Deemed mad by all
Even her own mother
None dare go near her
In fear they will become like her
The wind sings
The sky flashes
The earth trembles and rumbles
The little girl stands alone
A door opens revealing a woman
She flinches from the flashes and rumbles
Jumping back inside gripping the door
Men rush out as her tears fall
The men rush out to the little girl
Holding instruments of pain
Fear in their eyes
Scowls on their faces
Surrounding the girl like hyenas
She shows no fright
Yet the men do
Angry accusations rise directed at the girl
She shakes her head in denial
Claiming she is not evil
Only different
She sees the darker side of life
And does not hide from it
A man so angry that he attacks
They are delusional from the pain
Pain they think she has caused
They bring up the knife up
Ending her life
They look upon her body without shame
No idea of the mistake they made
That it wasn't going to stop the pain
Only cause confusion
In a cave looking over them
Stands a woman
Her long black hair blows in the wind
The air crackling with energy
A sinister smile spreads across her face
'What fools!
They destroyed a little girl
Mistaking her for me'
Her cackling life was carried to the villagers far below
The men looked up from the corpse
Looking around widely in fear
Fearful of the unknown
It was that moment they realized
It was not the little girl
The witch was still out there
The little girl was innocent
Their pain would continue
Evil was not vanquished
She would continue to cause pain
It wouldn't decrease
Only increase
The woman ran out tears streaming
'What have you done?' she cried
'My daughter was not evil'
She fell at their feet sobbing
But it ended quickly
A light flashed down from above
Not lightning
Something pure evil
It struck the woman dead
As her body fell they looked up
Just in time to see the silhouette of a lady
Her cackling laugh
The men ran back in fear
Hoping to protect their families
To save them from the same fate
From the evil witch
'Fools!' she screeched
Never will she stop
Not till they suffer
Endure what they've done to those she loved
The wind sings
The sky flashes
The earth trembles and rumbles
Dead grass rustles in the wind
As the village is plagued by an evil witch
