Confusion

Quinn P.O.V.

                      I woke up to the sound of a glass shattering. Yikes! It was still dark and ... misty? I checked the time to find out, it was 3 in the morning. I was spooked when I couldn't see the end of my room. I stepped out of the bed and started walking forward with my hands in front of me, just to prevent me from falling flat on my face. I walked more than some considerate distance and was thrilled when I spotted a tree in the distance. "Am I hallucinating?" I questioned myself. By now, I stopped walking and saw my bare feet covered with dirt and dry leaves. I'm all alone in a freaking forest with my nightgown!!! I started walking cause my own mind was giving me creeps. 

                   I wandered in the cold dark forest, thinking of ways to escape this stupid maze. I wanted to chop my legs off due to the crunching sound they were giving me. But I couldn't cause, they were mine. I stopped walking and froze in my position when I heard another set of footsteps nearing me. I couldn't run now!! "Who is it?" my mouth questioned even before I could process it in my brain. My parts function automatically when I'm afraid so please don't judge me.. No response, "As if the killer would let you know who he was" retorted my brain. Sparing no time, I started running. "Wait dear!" she called out which resulted in panicking mode and I ran even faster.

                    The fog got thicker around me and I lost track of where I was heading. "You won't be able to escape from me" "Why me?" I pleaded God and she appeared in front of me. "Grace, why are you scared? Come to your mother" I scoffed, she? my mother? Not a chance! "I'm scared of you" I shot back. The look on her face pained my heart but that was the truth, wasn't it? "Grace, I have waited a long time and found you now and I don't like the time slipping away from my hands" she said sadly. "What do you want from me?" I said folding my hands. "I'm saving your life dear. Just listen to me" My mind suddenly rewound a the incident I shared with the devil. Before I could stop it, my mouth blurted out, "What's your name?" 

                    "I'm Hecate, Grace...Your mother" She said while opening her arms. I don't know why I did that but a sudden surge in me made me to run into her arms as I nuzzled my head on her neck. She caressed my hair and whispered "I love you" I withdrew my arms from her and stepped back. "If you are my mum, then why did you leave me here?" I questioned her. She looked taken aback as if my question shot her. My mum never lied to me and was open with everything... Will she hide something this big from me? "Merida!! Focus.. Hecate is not your mum in the first place!!" my mind yelled at me. I was beyond confused. "It's not safe for you to stay in my place cause... it's dangerous for you baby" she said as she cradled my face in her soft hands as if my face was breakable.   

                          I hummed, as I was unable to open my mouth. "But now," she continued, "The time has come. You must join us soon" "Wait what?" I asked and looked up to see her face but the fog got between us as she stepped backward. I ran in her direction only to be hit by the wall in my room. "How the heck did I end up in here?" I sighed loudly. "You sleep walked and blabbered some nonsense in your dream" My heart sped a thousand miles in fright when I heard his voice. Shoot! He was here. Clutching my chest I asked him, "What are you doing here?" He chuckled as I squinted my eyes at him. "Did you forget that I was the one who sang you to sleep?" Yes.. Crap! I face palmed myself internally and said, "So sorry Remi and ..." I absentmindedly was about to ask him his personal questions.. What is wrong with my head?!

                       "What is it" he questioned. I hate myself!! "Um, don't get tensed or something.." I trailed off again, unable to ask the question. He stormed up next to me asked me sternly, "What happened? Did someone hurt you? Is it that guy, who keeps on seeing you?" Well, these weren't exactly what I was thinking... "Stop about that guy... He's my best friend, Remi" I sighed. Having million issues at hand, I had to pacify this jealous spirit. But, it did bring a smile on my face as he too did like me. "What if he is dead?" my stupid mind asked, pulling me from my happy moment. Yeah, I'm side tracking from the main issue. "Then what is it?" Jeremy asked. "Uh, um, do you think that you're still connected to your human body or are you completely..." I stopped unable to complete the sentence.
