Library - Sunday

After yesterday's detention, all Lee really wants to do today sit, read and avoid any needles or robot guts or running. So, he's got a stack of books (randomly selected from the shelves), a bottle of water and a banana.

He hasn't started reading anything yet. Instead, he's scribbling some notes about something he had been reading before starting on anything new.

"Why'd you make the trip over here?"

"The Book said so." Anathema explained.

"The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter." Anathema replied. "Nice means precise in this case."

"I have never heard of that book," Lee said. "Who's Agnes Nutter?"

"There's only one copy." Anathema pointed out. "And she was my ancestor and was burned as a witch." It would have been more accurate to point out that Agnes had been blown up more than burned, but Anathema didn't feel that that was relevant.

Lee's eyes widened. "They burned people for being witches?"

"They stopped." Anathema reassured him. "But they used to burn them, drown them, torture them, and in other ways make them dead or miserable." She paused. "Honestly, most of the people called witches were actually just women, and sometimes men, who had risen above their proper place in society. I'm sure a few were witches."

"And witches are bad?" Lee asked.

"I should hope not!" Anathema said, more than a little put out.

"Sorry," Lee said, holding up a hand. "Never met a witch before is all."

"I'm not a witch." Anathema corrected. "I'm an occultist." She smiled. "And I've never met anyone who wasn't from Earth." She paused. "I think."

"And now you have," Lee said. "Good to meet you."
