"Shut up! All of you. We danced. That is all, and mark this, if anyone breathe a word or the edge of a word about the other things, I will come to you in the black of some terrible night, and I will bring with me a pointy reckoning that will shudder you! And you know I can do it. I saw Indians smash my dear parents' heads on the pillow next to mine. And I have seen some reddish work done at night. And I can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down!"

The Beginning

Perfect time to start a diary, right? Horrible things have started happening. People have started being accused of witchery. Even Uncle Parris believes it. Ugh! Betty and I were dancing in the woods a few nights ago. Uncle Parris found out and says he saw someone naked. It was me, but I lied and said he didn’t see anything. Tituba was singing her Barbados songs and we danced. It wasn’t witchcraft. I mean, we were just dancing, right? I also talked to John Proctor. I love him so much and I know he feels the same way. That evil Elizabeth is in the way, and so are her children. I told him my feelings, but he didn’t return them. I know he loves and cares about me. John’s married to a wench named Elizabeth and has two children. That didn’t stop us from being together. I was working as a servant in their house and that’s how we fell in love. Elizabeth ended up finding out and kicked me out of the house. I hate her. I wish John would open up his heart to me and leave Elizabeth.




The Plan

So, I was just sitting in the courthouse today. I had looked over and saw Mary Warren making a poppet. I didn’t know why, but I saw her stick a needle in it. She looked over at me and noticed me staring. She asked what she should do with it. So, I thought about a way to get rid of Elizabeth. After thinking of a suggestion, I smiled. I told her that she should give it to Elizabeth. At dinner, I stuck a needle into my stomach and blamed it on Elizabeth. Guess I’ll find out what happens in a little while.

The Poppet

Uncle just informed me what happened. Mary Warren went over to the Proctors’ home and gave the poppet to Elizabeth. Soon after, authorities had went to their home and found the poppet. Elizabeth was taken out of the house and brought to jail. I couldn't care less. Now, I’ll have my precious John. I wonder what we’ll do with the kids though.

So, I just got out of court again. It was crazy. Well, Mary Warren tried to accuse me and the girls of faking. But, when Danforth asked her to make herself faint, she couldn’t do it. That’s what she gets for trying to go against me. John had to confess to having an affair with me. Elizabeth lied to Danforth and said it wasn’t true. Then, I had to save Mary by going against her. We pretended to see a bird and called it Mary. There wasn’t really a bird there. Mary ended up accusing John of witchery. He was dragged off to jail. Wonder what’s going to happen now.

Leaving Town

My last post for a while; I’m leaving town. I’m not sure when I’ll get to a computer. Well, after the court hearing and all, John had a big decision to make. Tell the truth and die, or lie and stay alive but live with the shame. That’s good for him and his family; not so perfect anymore. He chose to die. He was hung and everyone watched. I don’t really care. I went to him when he was in jail and asked him to come with me, but he said no. There’s other fish in the sea. I think when I get to wherever I’m going, I’ll meet tons of cute, older men. Hmm…maybe prostitution? Love you all, my readers. Bye, bye.
