Town of Salem AU
Smarty:
"Guilty," the mayor says while nodding to the executioner. The executioner kicks the stool out from under Toms feet making him drop.
I can feel the tears running down my face as Galm tries to comfort me. He's the only one who knew that Tom and I were together.
He too knows what it's like to lose someone you love. His boyfriend Aphex, the lookout, was hung a week ago.
I know that Galm is a consigliere, but none of that matters to me. Now all that matters is that Tom is dead and I can never bring him back.
"S-So, this is how you felt," I whisper between sobs. He looks at me sadly, "Yes, I'm sorry that you had to experience this." He pauses for a moment, "This is something I would never wish upon anyone, even my worst enemy."
"Come on, everyone's going home for the day," he says, as he gently guides me towards his house.
Galm:
I can't believe they just killed their doctor. This whole town is full of idiots. The only people who voted innocent in this town were myself, Smarty, and Minx, who I know to be the witch. I brought Smarty to my home because I noticed Ze stareing at him today. I believe Ze to be the serial killer.
Aphex, before he was MURDERED by the town, saw him going to diffrent houses each night. The next day, the resident of that house would either be dead, or report an attack. That can't be a coincidence, and I won't allow him to kill Smarty.
Maybe, just maybe I can get him to take the mafias side.
Smarty:
"I'm going to sleep on my couch, you can have the bed," Galm says. "But...its your house, I can sleep on the couch." "No Smarty, I will sleep on the couch, you are my guest," Galm replies firmly, leaving no room for disagreement. "Fine..." I mumble turning towards his stairs and walking to his room.
It's been about an hour now, but I can't sleep. All I can think about is Tom, I loved him so much.
Then I get an idea, "I'm a medium, maybe I can speak to him." With that in mind I stand up and reach into my bag, pulling out my small glass sphere. I set it down and stare at it for a moment before lighting a single candle in back of it.
I take a deep breath before speaking, "I summon the spirit of Tom Fawkes."The room suddenly becomes much colder as colours start to swirl inside of the ball. "Tom," I whisper as the colours finally form Toms face, and stop moving.
I feel a tear roll down my face as I stare at his face. "John...Please don't cry," he whispers, voice echoing around the room. "But yo-," I start only to be cut off. "No buts John, I was supposed to die, and from now on I will watch over you...But, John, I need you to promise me something." I quickly respond, "W-What?" He sighs, "I need you to promise me that you will move on." I feel more tears fall from my eyes, "Tom..." "Promise me John, I can't bear to watch you suffer like this." "I promise," I whisper, making his spirit smile. "Go to sleep John." As he fades away he says one last thing, "Don't forget your promise."
"I won't," I whisper. "I will avenge you."
Galm:
I awake to a blinding light flooding through the windows. I groan and turn around to face the other way.
For a moment I'm confused as to why I decided to sleep on my couch. But then I remember what happened yesterday. I've never seen Smarty as distraught as when that stupid mayor declared Tom to be guilty of treason.
Just before he walked onto the stage before the vote he told me, "If anything happens, please take care of Smarty." I promised him that I would, and I intend to make sure that I do.
