Summary
The Salem witch trials of 1692 continue to horrify those who study American history. From February to September, nearly 200 people were accused of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts. Nineteen people were executed by hanging and one was pressed to death. The accusations of witchcraft and subsequent torture to elicit confessions exacerbated the already difficult lives of the colonists. Even the most physically fit and sound-minded of the Puritans waged a daily battle to cultivate enough food, protect themselves from Indian raids, and thwart challenges from England. This work of fiction will explore colonial incarnations of Jack and Ennis. The two outcasts, one posing as a clergyman, and the other as an accused witch, will strive to escape their plight and survive in the hostile environment of the New World.

Summary
Alois is a 14-year-old Puritan living in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, during the time of the Salem Witch Trials. His father is part of the church but Alois is a witch. No, he is not evil, and no he did not make any deal with the devil. He is a white witch. He doesn't hurt people, and respects nature. But with the town in a frenzy over witches, after the arrival of a new and mysterious church leader named Claude Faustus, can Alois stay safe, or will he find himself at the wrong end of a noose?
I've also decided this will be a trilogy. There will be a Modern AU/Spin-off(?) and a continuation of this story.

Stiles narrows his eyes. “I haven’t been doing anything to you.”
“Bullshit,” Derek snaps.
The air in the room grows colder. “I swear it. The only magic I’ve used around you is to make your crops grow!” Stiles takes a step away. “How could you think that I would… You know what? Screw you, buddy. I’m sick of walking in circles around you.” His words are sharp and annoyed, and his shoulders are tense, as though he’s preparing for a fight. “You feel something for me? Wow, it must be sorcery! Because - what? I’m not good enough for your feelings, Derek?” he snarls.

Bookmarker's Notes
He could feel Rey's warmth. The love of his father impregnated in this carnal envelope. And all of this unsettled him. Ben wished he were in his own body so he could finally tell Han he was sorry and see his beautiful psychic with his own eyes. Touch her with his own hands.
And suddenly, all control was gone. He got out of his father, who fell to the side, without leaving his position. Rey opened her eyes to see him, even though her hand was now closing on empty space. A cold air replaced the heat. She and Ben were so close, yet so far away. Separated between two worlds.
Then the young man felt... light. His vision blurred, and he could no longer make out Rey's features clearly. Dazed, he fell on his back. The psychic tried to take his hand in concern, but only reached across it.

"Mom... What's it like? Death?"
Leia smiled as her son turned to her, his eyes filled with apprehension. She looked around.
"There is a universe beyond imagination here, all around us. And we can hear it whispering. This is not Heaven, nor Hell. There is no God or Devil here. It is only where we continue to exist after leaving the living. After five years, my soul has still not finished exploring it. I have only seen a tiny segment of it. I can be everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I can dissolve into nothingness in a million particles and come out intact. I can melt my soul among the others or isolate myself completely..."
She turned to her son.
"And I continue to observe the living. Watching you. I watch over all the people I love. And even if I can't hold you, even if I can't tell you how much I miss you, even if you can't see me, I am here."
