Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters Page #3

I actually plan to be a witch hunter,

too, when I get older.

Like you guys.

This isn't the life we chose, Ben.

I was wondering about that story

about your parents leaving you.

Is all that true?

Yep.

Why?

I don't know.

That's what they did.

I'm sorry. Do you want some porridge?

Sure.

Not too hot, not too cold, but just right.

So last night,

who was she,

the witch who attacked us?

I don't know.

She looked normal

at first, but then she changed her face.

- I thought only Grand...

- Grand Witches have that ability, yeah.

Who is this?

She lived outside of town

a long time ago.

She was accused of witchcraft,

but she never confessed.

We just burned her anyway.

You're safe.

You'll be safe.

I have to find my brother.

Hansel!

Hey!

Hansel! Are you all right?

Oh, sh*t.

The witch hunting is going well, I see.

Yeah.

Hey, say, can you...

Can you tell me

which way is back to town?

That way.

That way.

Okay.

Thank you!

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- You need some help?

- No, I'm fine.

I'm fine. Thank you.

Okay. I'll see you later.

Motherf***er!

Are you okay?

Hi. Help me.

Hansel!

Hansel!

Hansel!

Come here.

She's a wild one, eh?

What do you think you're doing?

You're under arrest

for the burning of Augsburg

and for bringing

the witch plague to our streets.

Listen, you idiot! The witches are

planning something big!

I need to find my brother

and save your shitty little...

Shut up.

This time,

I do the talking. You do the bleeding.

Are you done yet?

I've got to get to my sister.

This may take a while.

But if we don't clean it,

you'll get the fever.

Fever?

You've really taken a beating,

haven't you?

I think the real damage

was to my dignity,

which I left somewhere

in that tree back there.

It's probably gonna be easier

if you just get in.

Oh, no, no. No, I can't.

The water is healing.

Yeah, I don't swim well.

Then I'll go in with you.

Oh, okay.

Oh, boy.

So, it's healing waters, did you say?

I have a passion.

Horses, just love them.

Beautiful creatures, huh?

When you break any kind of a horse,

you have to be hard on them

from the beginning.

Show them who's boss.

Or else, they will never learn.

At first, they will hate you.

But once their spirit is broken,

they will do anything you want.

B*tch!

Hey, boss, maybe we should

take her back to town now.

I'm not finished breaking her yet!

You're making this too easy.

I got it.

You know, the last time

I was in waters like this,

I came across

a formidable Serpent Witch.

She mostly looked like a toad

but she could breathe underwater,

which made her difficult to track.

She was deadly.

You talk too much.

You're pathetic.

She has guts.

I like that.

That's going to make me enjoy this

even more.

No!

Well, boys, you can have her,

after I'm done...

No! No!

...If there's anything left.

What

the hell?

No!

Following this road,

you should be able to

make it back to Augsburg by nightfall.

Yeah.

I hope so.

When you find your sister,

could you come back to see me again?

Yes, of course.

Drink.

No.

Drink!

Why did you save me?

Trolls

serve witches.

Hey, wait.

Wait!

What's your name?

Edward.

Edward, wait!

Where am I?

Hansel?

Gretel?

Where have you been?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hey, what happened to your face?

Gretel?

- Who did this to you?

- I'm okay.

Who did this to you?

I'm okay.

Honey, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You okay?

I'm okay.

Where are we?

I don't know.

You okay?

Did you have to land on me?

What is this place?

This isn't a regular witch's lair.

No.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Hey, sis?

I think you're gonna

want to come see this.

I think this is our old house.

And this is our old room.

Here. Look.

There's your bed.

Right?

Remember this?

I think that's you.

And some sort of vicious badger.

Old beds.

Hansel.

You ever wonder

what happened to our parents?

We don't talk about that, Gretel.

We made a promise, you know that.

Why do you think

the witches' spells don't work on us?

Leave it alone.

- This is our house.

- Yeah?

This is where we grew up!

And what does that look like to you?

I don't know, Gretel.

We grew up over a witch's lair.

So what? So we're cursed?

No. I think that our mother was...

I see you finally found your way

home after all these years.

How very sweet.

I remember this house.

The house of Adrianna,

the Great White Witch.

Your whore of a mother.

Let me tell you a little story.

Once upon a time,

near a shitty little town,

there was a farmer who fell

in love with a white witch.

And with their two beautiful children,

oh, they were so happy.

But not for long.

During a Blood Moon, there is a potion

that will make you immune to fire.

The key to the potion

is the heart of a Grand White Witch.

But your mother,

the most powerful white witch,

was too strong for us.

So it had to be you, Gretel.

It had to be your heart.

As the Blood Moon approached,

I sent out a little rumor

to the people of Augsburg.

And when she knew they were coming,

she had your father take you

into the forest to hide you.

Father! Wait!

Don't let her get away!

She didn't know what

they would do to her,

but she was too proud to run.

And a white witch would never use her

magic against humans.

When your father came back for her..

No!

...they hanged him.

- Run him up!

- No!

...right in front

of your mother's burning flesh!

Adrianna was gone.

But so was your heart.

And the Blood Moon passed.

The end.

It's a beautiful story, don't you think?

They died to save you.

And all your life,

how you've hated them.

Tomorrow

sisters from all dark corners of the land

will join me in the light

of the Blood Moon

for the greatest Sabbath of all.

The only thing left

is the everlasting power

of the heart

of a Grand White Witch.

You know, you talk too much.

Bad move, witch hunter.

Hansel!

Drink it. it will help the pain.

Mina?

What did you do?

Mina?

You're a witch?

There are good witches in the world.

- Not many, but some.

- You stay back.

I'm a witch, but I won't hurt you.

I checked you. You were...

You were clean.

Yeah, but only the dark witches

bear the signs.

Dark witches?

What are you talking about?

Think about it,

if their spells don't work on you,

why would mine?

I'm not like them, Hansel.

Gretel. Sh*t.

- Where are you going?

- They have my sister.

Who has your sister?

Witches have my sister. They...

- Where?

- They said something

about a ritual or a gathering.

I don't know.

There's a place deep in the forest,

nearby the mountains.

A place dark witches use

for their Sabbath.

Where is it?

Hansel, I...

Mina, how do I get there?

If there is a Sabbath,

there will be many witches.

They'll be too powerful.

They'll kill you, Hansel.

I don't have time for this.

No, listen, Hansel,

I found something here, in this cave.

Something very powerful.

Something that could help us.

The Abramelin Grimoire! it exists!
