Witch’s Oath
Most people think a toast is to celebrate a dear friend’s good fortune, but this day could be filed under broken vows. All the blood left Elizabeth’s face as she read the speech, the old nervous habit came flooding back, but she did pick up the bag of nails. The speech done, the ceremony began. As they stepped up one by one, taking a nail, the irony of it all hit Elizabeth. It could easily have been her in that coffin, and she was relieved her secret was now safe, locked inside a block of wood, perfectly silent.
