The next morning, Lloretta Leshwinski woke up with a horrible headache. She staggered to the bathroom and wet her face with fresh spring water from the pump. She knew that last night was too much. Her Powers had only just begun to develop, and then to use them like that, in only one night! Lloretta shook her head. She was ashamed of herself. There was a soft rap on the wooden door of her room. Lloretta padded across the floor and opened it.
"Llor! There's been word going 'round that a daemon has influenced some boys last night! They say if they ever catch the daemon, they'll burn 'em. I sure hope they find it quick, an' burn it quicker. I sure don't want to be influenced by the Dark Arts..." Esther was always an earlybird, but Lloretta, on the other hand, not so much. She frowned at Esther.
"Sit down, Ess, I gotta tell you somethin'." Lloretta invited Esther into her room, and shut the door.
"That... daemon last night, wasn't a daemon. It... was a girl, that girl was... m--" Esther cut her off before she could finish her sentence.
"That's the thing! they said it was a daemon takin' the from of a girl! They said that's how it could deragertu!"She exclaimed.
Lloretta sighed, "Esther, that was no daemon, it was me..." She whispered. Esther nearly fell off the bed. She was at a loss for words, but did not forget how to scream. Esther's howl shook the house.
"WITCH! WITCH! YOU ARE A DAEMON, LLORETTA LESHWINSHKI, A DAEMON!" Esther screamed. Lloretta was wide-eyed with fear. If they found her, she would be burnt. Surely the whole town had heard her scream.
" Esther, please, please be quiet! If you ain't, I'll be burned to hell! Your gonna go through the transformation, too. You'll become a 'daemon' too, Essie. Please, please hush up, Ess, please..." She whispered to her best friend as she stroked her chocolate-brown hair.
Esther nodded, "I'll hush, but only because we're best friends, Lloretta. And if I become a daemon, too, we'll run away together. Somewhere where they don't burn us, but let us live free." She promised.
Unfortunitly, Esther did not hush quickly enough, for the whole town had heard her already. Now they were ready to burn Lloretta Leshwinski on the stake. No mercy was shown to the Devil in Woodwin. They would burn her to hell, where the Devil belongs.
