four little witches - Backdated to Christmas!

[kihihi_witch]

[Maria, like any little child, ran down to open her presents the minute she woke up.  It was Christmas!  It'd be fun, and maybe Santa would grant her wish!  She really wanted to see Mama, because Juri wasn't a very nice Mama and scared her and Sakutaro.

He granted it, all right.  Housemates will find her screaming and sobbing, bruises forming on her

.... Me too, Maria. Me too.

[kihihi_witch]

Uu-... Jessica. S, Santa was mean to you, too?

[tsundorapettan]

Sure was. Hahaha... this town's Santa really shouldn't get to decide who's naughty and who's nice when he's just a big fat meanie.

[kihihi_witch]

M...Maria thinks Santa was naughty, deserves worse than coal.

[kihihi_witch]

[She flinches and covers her head at another blow, barely able to hear Abel's voice through the yelling in her mind.

Useless. The worst daughter. Shouldn't even be alive. The Black Witch had arrived in Mayfield, determined to break her however it could.]

Stop Mamaaaaa! Uuuu-! Uuuwaaaah!

[kihihi_witch]

[It doesn't help, though Maria clings to him nevertheless.]

B, Black Wiiiiitch, uuuu-! M, Make her go away!

[M...Mama loved her. Mama wouldn't do this. Not Mama. Can't be Mama.]

[badend_replay]

There, there.

[ Rika can't help herself. Those sounds were what she imagined Satoko going through. ]

mi... Maria, right? Did you open a letter from Santa as well?

[kihihi_witch]

U, uhuh... S, Santa wasn't nice, g, gave Maria the Black Witch...

[badend_replay]

It is okay. That witch will not bother you any longer while you are here.

Are you not alone?

[kihihi_witch]

Uu-... Maria i, is okay now... [Except she isn't.]

Not alone, h, have Abel and Sakutaro.

[enviousmath]

Maria-chan? Did you open your presents?!

[kihihi_witch]

Uu-, didn't count as a present...

[enviousmath]

[So she opened it. Damn.]

Hold on Maria-chan, I'll come over and help you.

[kihihi_witch]

Uu-, a, alright.

[glompedbystakes]

[Has been with her the entire time, struggling to get on top of her in some desperate attempt to take the beating in her place, but to no avail. He holds her tightly, crying with her]

Not Mama, not Mama, not Mama...

[kihihi_witch]

[She clings to Sakutaro, burying her face into his muffler as an attempt to protect herself.]

Not Mama, uuuu-! Go awaaaaaaaay!

[glompedbystakes]

Sakutaro is sorry! Sakutaro is supposed to protect Maria!

[kihihi_witch]

[Oh, Sakutaro ;a; You are protecting her, it's just... Mayfield is far from a nice place.]

S, Sagudarooo! Uuuuuuwwaaah!
