Witch Hunter Robin Fan Fiction ❯ Embers ❯ Redemption ( Chapter 7 )

Witches are dangerous and must be hunted, that was never in question.

 

For many years, I believed that for the safety of those around them, witches must be put to death. Then, later, I came to believe that we could incarcerate them. It was humane, it was for their own good.

 

The criteria for hunts grew broader and like the Reverend Niemoller, I said nothing.

 

No person; god or witch, seed or human, deserved to be an experiment.

 

I take another sip of the whiskey and my gaze moves across the dim shapes in the darkened room to rest on the sleep tousled blond head of the girl I watch and protect. Here, perhaps is my opportunity, my redemption.
