Charles took Amy to the church the following morning. He stopped his car at the entrance as they waited. Amy sat with her hands in her lap. She was hesitating to speak.

Charles broke the silence.“You’ve been courageous these past two days,” he said. “Really.”

“I don’t know what to make of it all,” Amy turned to look at him, “Thank you.”

“Of course.”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Yeah,” Charles replied.

“The love you lost. Tell me about her.”

Charles sighed, then turned to her, “I was eighteen, still in high school. My girl, Amber…was taken by these creatures. I’m sure Lucius was involved, but there was this one lady, Vampyre, named Lillith. God, she was a monster. I pray you never meet her. They’ve done something with Amber, but I know she’s still alive. That’s why I do what I do. So I can find her.”

Amy gently nodded her head, “I know you will.”

She leaned forward and kissed his cheek. One of the large doors at the church entrance opened, and Father Rodriguez stood there. Amy grabbed her bag, clenched Charles’ hand, and opened the car door. She let go and got out, shutting the door behind her as she walked toward the priest.

Charles put the transmission into Drive as she looked back.

Amy smiled.

Charles punched the gas and sped away.

BECAUSE it's SPOOKY SEASON! On December 21, 2012, according to the Mayan Calendar, the world was supposed to end. It didn't. But on that day, 113 mysterious manuscripts were discovered around the world, each one written in blood by an unknown author. After several dozen unexplained deaths befell the finders of said manuscripts, a decision was made to lock them up for good in a secret vault beneath the Vatican. It is said that anyone who reads the stories will die, and as such they are now referred to as 'The Cursed Manuscripts.'

In December 2020, new manuscripts started turning up around the world. 'Witch' was one of them.

A significant portion of young people struggle with literacy. In the US, data indicates that approximately 40% of fourth graders are reading below a basic level, and 70% of low-income fourth graders face the same challenge, according to The National Literacy Institute. Additionally, The Policy Circle reports that more than 60% of US public and non-public school students were below grade level in reading in 2019.
