In the grasslands just outside a small town, shrill screams could be heard for a couple of hours. A girl was tied to a stake in the fields, tiring her voice in hopes someone would take mercy on her and save her from this cruel fate. It had all started earlier that day, when her father died of a heart attack. Having lost her mother not that long earlier, someone in town started the rumor that quickly escalated into 'the only daughter must be a witch'. Chinza knew who likely had started the rumor, and she cursed his name every so often in her screams for help. He'd been eyeing her father's general store for ages, knowing it was profitable in a town such as their's, much more than most other stores would be, at the very least.
With a deep breath, she let out a deep sigh from her pained chest, being nearly crushed by the rope used to tie her up above the ground. "It's not like anyone can hear me out here... Well, maybe the birds can, but... I guess I have to face it, I'm stuck here." Her face was red from crying, her white hair blowing in a wind that was passing by her. The last defense her neck had against the cold was no longer there to warm her. It was almost poetry to go with her demise: she was weaker than she'd believed herself to be. She was going to die, either from being eaten alive or being chilled to her bones.
With one last loud scream, she cursed the sky for taking her only supports away from her, from letting the man that wanted their business win, and for letting her die so helplessly. She tried carelessly to break through the ropes, thrashing against the stake. It helped only to dig the stake a tad deeper into the soil, if it did anything at all. The wind grew stronger, causing her teeth to chatter. "It seemed so nice this morning, as nice as a trial can get... If only it would stay that way until my end..."
