and water... I beg of you," whispered Jebidiah. 

The boy stared for a minute and then let out a horrible scream that woke
all of the towns people.... Jebidiah ran into the woods as fast as he 
could he knew that if he didn't make it back in time his life would be 
cut shorter! 

" Sir Thomas I saw Jebidiah he ran into the woods he said he came into
town to fetch himself some water if you run you might be able to catch 
up with him," said the little boy. 

" Thank you dear boy we will go into the woods and look for him there if
he is there my men and I will pull him from his house and hang him like 
all the other witches and warlocks before him," said Thomas. 

The townsmen gathered up their torches and their pitch forks and ran off
into the woods, Thomas caught a glimpse of a man running and Thomas ran 
faster, they got to the edge of the woods where Jed's shack was and 
they saw Jebidiah run into the shack... furious Thomas ran even faster 
he got to the shack seconds after Jebidiah slammed the door.  Thomas 
was infuriated, he kicked the door in and there was no sign of 
Jebidiah, Thomas looked everywhere and at the last minute when he was 
about to give up he stepped on a loose floor board. He lifted it up and 
there was a hole, he saw that there was handle on one of the boards, he 
lifted it and there were stairs underneath it. 

Thomas went down the stairs torch in one hand and a pitch fork in the
other... he saw Jebidiah sitting on the floor in a corner, " Now is the 
time Jebidiah, you will be hung for being a warlock," said Thomas. 

Thomas called to the other men, they dragged Jebidiah out into town
where they tied a noose around his neck, tied his hands together and 
put him on a horse.  They started towards the big tree in the middle of 
town, when they got to the tree they preceded to put Jebidiah up on the 
tree, they put a block under his feet. 

" Now Jebidiah you will suffer like the others, now is the time for you
to die, you will hang for being a warlock, do you have any last words?" 
yelled Thomas. 

" I just want to tell you that you better be careful you cannot keep a
warlock in death forever there will be someone who will bring me back 
to life and until then I will haunt you in your sleep you may kill me 
but you cannot kill my soul beware I will return!!!" belowed Jebidiah. 

" Kick the block it is time, good-bye Jebidiah, may you rot in hell for
your sins!!!" Thomas screamed. 

The block was kicked from beneath his feet and all the towns people
watched as Jebidiah gasped for a breath, but that wasn't all Jed had a 
smile upon his face, as Jebidiah struggled for air he uttered the words 
" I will return I promise". His last breath was taken, they pulled him 
from the tree and put him on a stake to burn they all watched as his 
body went up in flames.  All of the towns people sighed in relief.  The 
warlock was gone. 

Ten years later Thomas was sitting at his table when he heard a scream
come from the well, he ran to see who it was and what happened.  It was 
Thomas's wife lying on the ground with her throat slit open, blood 
gushing from her  throat, she managed to utter the words, " Jebidiah is 
back."    There in the well was Jebidiah.  He jumped up out of the well 
and stood beside Thomas,  " I told you I would be back and here I am 
and I came back to kill you!!" 

Thomas let out a bloody scream, Jebidiah then took the same nail that he
had used to slit Thomas's wife's throat, and slashed his.  There lay 
Thomas and his wife in a pool of blood eyes wide with horror. 

It is now the year 2002 and my name is Jebidiah I have been in Salem for
over  300 years and I don't intend to leave, and that friends was my 
story.  I hope you enjoyed it and I hope to see you soon in Salem. 
Beware of the shack at the end of the woods if you ever do visit Salem, 
I will be there I promise but don't get in my way.  I will be waiting 
for you.  Witches and Warlocks do come I am especially waiting for you,

1692 for being a warlock Jebidiah Becoste, that is me and it will tell 
you exactly how to get to the shack. I can hardly wait to see you.
