Being formally arrested was very different to my previous trip in the back of a police car. When the two officers in my lounge had asked me to escort them to the station for further questions, I had felt nervous, but not like this.

I had left my credit card in Nancy’s kitchen.

My link to the two murders was irrefutable.

It made total sense that I was the killer, but I had to defend myself and work on identifying the real threat that was still loose all while incarcerated and without mentioning a magical curse to the human police department. It would look like a weak attempt to plead temporary insanity as a justification for my actions, I could hear the judge now, ‘So you think you’re a witch, do you?

My brain was in self-preservation mode and if I paid too much attention to what was actually happening, I would have a panic attack. I heard the rolling metal gate click into place behind me and all of a sudden, I was alone. I had been stripped of my valuables and anything sharp like the few bobby pins I had keeping my hair in place. I had no way to know the time. I stared at the small cot bed that had been provided and felt my body shake out of fear that this might be what my future looked like.
