Holding each other at arms length smiling at each other you hear a scratching sound coming from outside the window.
Puzzled y/n turns around, what was that? Walking towards the window.
Winifred opens the front door seeing another timer sitting at the door.
Dumpling?
Yes? Y/n turns around
Winifred waves her arm in a come here motion, pointing to the timer.
Another one?
This one is set for 15 minutes y/n points out
It's 11:45, what is the meaning of this?
Winifred walks outside and down the stairs.
Winnie wait y/n runs after her, the door slamming behind them.
Winifred turns around quickly, dropping the timer onto the ground. The timer dings and rattles.
Continuing to tick on the ground,
It's ok, the wind caught the door
Winnie? A voice says from the upstairs window? What was that?
Sorry Sarah that was my fault y/n says, the wind slammed the door
What art thou doing outside? Mary says from the window opposite side
Someone is leaving these... uhh ?
Timers Winnie, timers
Right timers outside the door set to different times
Ohh what does it do?
It dings y/n says
I am going to come downstairs Mary says
Me too Sarah says
The windows close and Mary and Sarah come running downstairs.

Winnie? Y/n taps Winifred on the shoulder
Startled Winifred turns around, oh dear don't do that....
Sorry, what were you looking at? Y/n asks
I saw.... Uh a flash of light, over there
It is 11:50pm according to my watch, something tells me this was planned?
What was?
I didn't do this, neither did your sisters
We didn't do what?
Mary and Sarah say in unison
You didn't put the timers on the door step
No, we were sleeping

Ding, the timer goes off, ticking I hear ticking Mary follows the noise
Sarah follows, what is that ticking?
Something doesn't feel right, y/n says to Winifred
Winnie? Y/n waves their hand in front of Winifred's face as if in a trance Winifred walks towards the hanging tree.
Winnie? Y/n tries to stop Winifred from walking towards the tree but she keeps walking.
Sarah?
Mary? Y/n calls out... But they are walking towards the tree as well
Ding another timer goes off. What the fuck y/n thinks
Running ahead you see a black cat sitting near the hanging tree, Mavis?
HISS..
WOAH, kitty
Hiss...
You did this to me you wench! Mavis growls at y/n
No you pissed off winifred, I did nothing. You tried to kill me! You're alive aren't you?
Mavis yowls, and my sisters are dead!
Your fault Mavis your pig headdedness for revenge
Mavis lunges at y/n clawing and scratching y/n's shoulders
Agh, get off me beast!
Y/n zaps Mavis with a low voltage lightning bolt
Mavis flies backwards landing on her feet, Mavis hisses and arches her back climbing the hanging tree.
The sisters walk up behind y/n still in trance
Sisters? Hello? Y/n waves their arms at them
Mavis meows loud, echoing across the field

Y/n turns around to see Lexie, walking down the footpath.
Lexie?
Lexie walks towards the hanging tree, Mavis jumps down circling Lexie's legs purring.
You two know each other?
Mavis meows, looking up at Lexie
Lexie smiles, waves her hand and her glamour wears off
BELLA? Y/n's mouth drops I saw you die?
Mavis brought me back you see she's my mother
WHAT!!
I know I know twisted isn't it? Lexie laughs
Ohhh I wish I had a camera to take a photo of your pathetic face!
Mavis growls......
Oh mother, she can't do anything without the sisters, who are currently under my thrall. Hahaha she laughs
But how? You died before Mavis was turned into a cat?
You see y/n like the sisters we cursed ourselves, to come back if killed.
With a candle?
No, with an amulet
Uh ok y/n says shocked and confused
Lexie laughs again, ohhhhh... y/n I will cherish this moment forever, clapping her hands and reaching into her pocket:
I have another surprise for you y/n
Oh yes what would that be?
Lexie steps closer and blows a purple dust right at the sisters, their trance is broken.
YOU! Winifred screams, you pest, how art thee alive?
Sarah and Mary point....
She's alive? Sarah says
How Mary asks?
Hahaha Lexie laughs ohh magic she says picking Mavis up and disappearing into the wind.

Y/n looks in amazement, still shocked at this new knowledge, turning to the sisters what was that?
Who art thou? Winifred says?
Ding, a timer goes off! Midnight..... y/n walks over to the tree and picks the timer up. Oh dear not again y/n says turning back to the sisters.
y/n inhales and exhales
