It was when they started the point of telling stories of the witches and what they did with the people it just started to spook them out and they feared that maybe they were honestly true. And I think at that time it really wasn't the best time to stand out and/or say/do something out of their league because they would think you were a witch.
Is there any picture or answer choices we can choose from? We cannot help you if you do not provide us with this stuff. I can help if you give me them.
