The blackwood family has always been a weird one. It is believed that Constance Blackwood poisoned her own family and that the only survivors were her and her sister Mary Katherine. Even though their uncle has been poisoned too he has survived.

My brother and I live in town and sometimes when I'm on my daily walk I see Mary Katherine. People would curse at her, make fun of her and would be disgusted by her. To be honest, I was feeling bad for her but my brother always used to tell me that the Blackwoods were terrible people and that they would eventually rot in hell.

One cloudy afternoon me and my brother were sitting in the cafe of our village and talked a bit. His girlfriend came eventually over and we enjoyed our time. But then I felt a sudden change of atmosphere and the mood  instantly changed from happy to angry as the door opened. My brother yelled. "Hey Blackwood, I heard that you will move to another town !?!" I crunched my face in shame and disgust as I told him to sit down. Mary katherine fortunately ignored him and got her coffee. "One black coffee please." She said to the waitress.
But my brother had to ask again. "Hey ! I thought I asked you something Merricat !!!"
Mary katherine jumped from the sudden voice. "No, no we will stay." She answered. It sounded anxious and a tad bit like a scared bunny. Weird I know but if I was her I would be scared too. Finally I had enough and yelled at my brother.
"Will you please shut up and leave her alone ? She has enough on her hands to deal with, so don't just harass her like that." I told my brother with a stern look. I mean he was older than me but at least I was more mature and more respectful than him. But then I realized that the people in the cafe were staring at me and they were giving me weird looks.

Mary Katherine looked over her shoulder to me and smiled at me little bit before turning around and getting her coffee. After that she left and not long after we left too. "Why were you nice to her ? She is a fucking Blackwood . She is literally a witch !" Taking a deep breath I looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Sometimes you don't need a reason to be nice to somebody. Especially not to someone who has done nothing bad to our Family." My brother rolled his eyes and went on his date with his girlfriend.

Merricat opens the door and calls out for her sister Constance. "Oh you're back already, good. How was the village ?", Constance asked. As Merricat put the groceries on the kitchen table she answered "You know, the usual." Constance nods and goes on to cooking. Merricat leaves the house and runs into her garden to check up on her spells that were supposed to protect her and her family. Her father's book had fallen down and the glasses had broken. Merricat was now panicking. She knew that something bad would happen to her and her family soon and that scared her. After looking at the mess under her she started to put her father's book back on the tree and put the new glass containers with their content back under the earth and hoped for the best. But still she ran back inside and told her sister Constance that her spells broke and bad things would soon happen. "Merricat, nothing bad will happen I promise you and now please wash your hands. They are full of dirt." Merricat breathed heavily, still distraught about the fact that her spells broke, she needed to put new spells, stronger spells to protect herself and her family.

The next day back to Y/n

You woke up by the bright light of the sun and crunched your eyebrows together. Groaning you got up and went to the bathroom. After brushing your teeth and washing your face you now had to decide what you wanted to wear to the grocery store. Having your outfit put together you changed and left your home. The way to the grocery store was not that long so it wasn't a problem for you to carry all the things alone back to your home.
After you came home, your friend called you to come meet her at the cafe.

"Hey, how are you ?" I asked her as i sat myself down next to her. She smiled and looked really excited. "Hiii !! I'm great ! But look !" She said while holding her hand out, showing me her engagement ring.
My eyes widened as my smile grew bigger. "Oh my ! That is amazing ! When is the wedding ?" I asked her.
"In 2 months ! We are already planning everything and then we will move out of here." "Wait what ? Why?" I asked her curious of her answer. "Well because John is going to be working elsewhere and I don't really want to live here anymore because these Blackwoods are evil, manipulative people. You should leave this village too!" She whispered the last part and then said that she had to go.
