"Noth-" His guess was right. The uniform was the one the witch hunters wore. They were dragging someone else with them. He didn't need or want Mahina to see what would happen next. "We're leaving." He said quickly, standing up.
-
‘Wha- why?’ Mahina asked, standing up. ‘We don’t have to see your dad if you don’t want to-‘
-
"That's not why." Ernie's voice went quieter. "Just... Trust me, alright? We have to go."
-
Mahina nodded, looking around for the source of what might be wrong. ‘OK.’
-
Ernie gave a small smile, offering her his hand. "Follow me."
-
Mahina nodded, grabbing his hand. That’s when she noticed. She paled. ‘E-Ernest..’
-
Ernest gave a small nod. "It's alright." He said quietly even though it was very much not alright. He started walking forward, trying to think of the fastest escape route.
-
Mahina followed. ‘What are they gonna do to her?’
-
Ernie winced, not wanting to answer that question. From the looks of it, they were going to get ready to burn her at the stake. "Nothing good, Mahina. Nothing good."
-
‘Ernest, tell me.’
-
Ernest exhaled sharply, debating whether to tell her gently, or just say it really fast. "Best case scenario, they're just doing the trial right now." He didn't add that the trial would most likely claim she was a witch anyway. "Worst case scenario... They burn her." He grimaced.
-
Mahina’s eyes widened. ‘B-But, we can’t just let her die!’
Even if she wasn’t a witch, Mahina was sure that woman had done nothing wrong. -
Ernie grimaced. "What do you want to do then? You don't have your staff to help her with magic, and even if you did, you'd just reveal yourself."
-
Mahina looked down. ‘You’re right… let’s just go.’
-
Ernest wanted to help the girl, he really did. He looked at Mahina. "Well do you have any ideas for how to help her?"
