  1. It was summer vacation on a hot day of June. Mays family decided to go swimming in the river, like they do every year. It was a tradition, just a normal hot day of summer. But somehow this year was different... floating on an inflatable, May was holding on to a tree root so she wouldn't drift away. her cousins and her brother were climbing the roots of the beautiful old tree to dive back into the river. Softly floating on the water May looked up enjoying the small sun rays that were able to pass trough the lively green leaves of the tree. Whit the nice warm weather the cooling breeze and the gentle rocking of the river she began to relax. The laughs and plashes started to slightly fade a way. May was soon fast asleep. When she opened her eyes may realized she was running barefoot, but why was she running? She suddenly stopped and looked around to see nothing but an empty open field. May also noticed her clothing it was not what she was wearing before, in fact this clothes seemed dirty and the fabric felt so different from any other she had ever worn. The wind suddenly picked up and swept May's hair... But this was not May's hair this hair was long and black and somehow messy and dirty. Before she even put any though into it may heard a voice.
    "Run!" The voice said.
    "Why should I run?" May wondered.
    "Why am I running!?" May shouted.
    "Witch!!!" A raspy voice echoed through the empty valley.
    "Get the witch! Burn the witch" the sound of so many different voices soon followed.
    "A witch?" May said to herself.
    "Yes, a witch. A witch yet to awaken" The woman replied.
    "Who is the witch?" May asked.
    A villager came to sight into the distance.
    "The witch! Get her!" He yelled pointing at May.
    The woman's voice warned May one more time.
    "Run"
    May lifted her long skirt and ran.
    May ran and ran trough the fields, cutting her feet with the sharp rocks half buried in the dirt. May ran and ran with all her might. May ran tripped and fell over and over again. But may wouldn't stop running.
    She felt her heart filled with sadness and heavier with pain. May's tears rolled down her cheeks.
    "Why?" May wondered.
    "Because we are witches" "Because to fully awaken you should know the suffering of your sisters." The woman explained.
    "But how am I a witch?" May said. "I don't even believe in those things!".
     
  2. It's not a bad idea, but there are a bunch of spelling and grammar mistakes that take away from the quality of the writing. I'd suggest proofreading to catch those.

    Also, some parts seem almost… I don't know the right word; repetitive? For example, a lot of sentences kept saying May is running. I get that you want to elaborate. Description is good. But maybe you could find different ways to phrase it, other than repeating "May ran and ran", because it can get tedious.

    Besides those two things, it's not a bad story so far. You should continue.️ Good luck.
