Today was a very crazy day, Betty would not waken from her sleep. Parris kept asking me about what was going on out in the woods but I did not tell him anything except that we were only dancing. He told me that he heard her singing so I told him that you just were singing. Parris suspects that something is going on, after he saw one of the girls dancing around naked. Ruth Putnam later tells Parris she saw her fly over the neighbor barn, but I explained to him that, that is not true.
I begin to talk to Mercy Lewis, as Marry Warren enters the room with fright. Next thing I know Betty suddenly begins to sit up and cry out for her mother. I tell the girls that I told Parris everything and then the next thing I know Betty starts to talk. She is telling them that I did not tell him about drinking blood to kill Elizabeth Proctor. So I explain to them that they can not tell Parris anything about that night except that we all were dancing in the woods. I told them to say that Tituba was the one who was conjuring spirits that were in fact Ruth's dead sisters.
Later John Proctor begins to come to talk to me, I begin to proclaim my love for him and he shuts me down. I do not know what has gotten into his mind because I know the feelings he has for me. I believe Elizabeth his wife is trying to keep us apart I suspect she probably has gotten the hint that we are seeing each other. Although I do not care all I want is for John to be with me and if that means I have to get her out of the way then I just might have to do that. I begin to bet Proctor to stay with me, but he will not listen. I begin to shout out that I know he loves me and he continues to tell me to just put those memories out of my head, but I just can not do that.
Until next time,
Abigail Williams
