I can't stop crying and we were at the cottage. My brother was kicking the little twig and he looked pissed. Marcus was just beside me. I am bit pissed on me. He lied to me. He should've said this on the first place.
"I'm sorry Elena" Marcus nudged me.
"Who's Claire? What is this world?" I dried my tears.
"Claire's Claire, you know her story because you have her diary. I found her characteristics in you"
"Tell me what's this"
"Those shadows were the men who liked Claire. The ones she danced with"
Marcus held my hand. I just leaned my head on his shoulders. I am dead. I have no idea if this is hell or heaven or purgatory. But I am dead. Lifeless. I am just a soul stuck in this world I shouldn't be. I am looking at the crackling fire infront of me. If this is hell, it's really torturing me. I've been good all the time. My brother was staring at the blank space and he was speechless.
"I am dead. i don't think you two are. Maybe you're soul is just stuck here" he whispered.
"what do you mean 'stuck?''" my brother snarled.
"The shadows just took you. You're sister's not Claire"
"She's Elena! But why are we here?"
"The souls wanted your life"
"I'll let them have my car and my house but not my body"
"They want your body too okay? They want to live again. This place is near the earth and purgatory"
"We are not dead?"
"Not yet"
I finally got the strength to speak up. If we are still breathing, then there's really a way out.
"We have to escape, Joe. There's a way" I said firmly.
