You woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of shuffling outside your window. You looked out to see your friend following a shadowy figure to the edges of town, seeming to be in a trance. You knew exactly what was happening, and you had to stop it.

You see, on the outskirts of town, in a rotten house lived 3 blind witches, who would lure people in. Nobody ever came back out of that hut except the witches...and the mayor. Any who tried to hunt them suddenly vanished. Entire search parties and hunting groups would go dead silent in a second once they went inside. It left the townsfolk terrified.

So you got your slippers on, not wasting time to change out of your pajamas, and ran out the door to go save your friend before it was too late. But when you opened the door, one of the three witches was standing there in the doorframe. Before you could react she showed you a golden pocket watch, and everything seemed to dull. Your vision instantly went fuzzy, your hearing felt muffled, your body felt tingly and numb, and you began to drool. She snapped her fingers and everything went black.

When you opened your eyes again you were sitting inside the witches' shack. Your hands, arms, legs, and feet were bound by red ribbons. You looked around you and noticed several other boys and girls who had been collected, all in a trance. All of you were lined up against the wall. But your friend was nowhere in sight...

You looked ahead to see the witches performing unusual tasks. One of the enchanted boys was standing on a pedestal with their arms outstretched, while the first witch was stitching and measuring clothes for them. The second witch was dyeing the boy's hair, applying makeup, and topping him off with a collar that had his name embroidered on it; "Tom". The third witch was off to the side at a table with a board full of scrolls and custom requests.

Ragatha: "You done with yer potions Ragatha? I can't finish this dress if you're in the way."

Snitchel: "Almost. Did the mummy want anything else for this one? Or did he just want them to have immortal skin?"

Azreal: "Just immortal skin and the typical makeup. He said he wanted someone durable enough to snuggle with in his sarcophagus for eternity."

Just then, a figure walked through the door, their attire made it pretty obvious that they were a vampire. The witches continued their tasks like normal. The vampire pulled out a wax-seal scroll and handed it to Azreal before pointing at you. You heard the two whispering before the vampire pulled out a jar of hearts and handed it to the witch, probably as payment. Then, he left.
