I woke up the next day the breath knocked out of me. I opened my eyes and saw Charisma's face almost touching mine. I let out a small scream and pulled myself from under her.

Charisma moaned and rolled over going back to sleep. Alekk and Amee were almost on top of Charisma. I felt bad for her if she woke up the same way as me. I tiptoed out of the room and into the hallway. My mum's voice came from the kitchen. She was talking awfully fast. I hid near the kitchen and listened to her talk.

"..yeah they did it and I'm afraid the same thing will happen to them. I was wondering if you could help us as well."

I wondered who she could be talking to. I was sure she didn't get her hands on the witches number so it must be her friend who survived as well. My mum hung up and came into the hallway and stopped abruptly.

"Hi Faye, I didn't know you were here. Did you?" She said not finishing her sentence. I already knew what she was going to ask though.

"Yes I did," she nodded then put the phone on the hallway table.

"Once my friend comes we'll get right to work on finding the witch," she said then leaving before I could say anything. I nodded to myself then headed to the kitchen. I stopped dead in my tracks once I saw what was in front of me.

She stood tall with the crow on the counter in front of her. I stood there dumbstruck not knowing what to do. Her long, pale finger pointed at me then she pointed at her chest. Blood started oozing from her chest and down her blue dress. The crow let out an ugly croak then flew over next to the girl.

It wasn't till right now that I figured out that she was showing me how she was murdered. I wondered if she was murdered with a knife or if she had been shot.

The girl nodded as if reading my mind then her pale finger slowly moved and pointed to the knives that were in the knife holder. She was stabbed to death. I don't know why I did what I did but I did.

I slowly moved towards the girl. She was most likely a ghost but she seemed so real like if I could touch her. Her eyes went wide once she saw that I was nearing her. I put my hands up so she saw I wasn't going to do anything but it was too late. She disappeared into thin air.

I stood there staring at the spot where she was. I felt like I couldn't move at all. It felt like a minute passed before I could move. I ran up the stairs an burst into my room.

Amee shot out of the bed giving me a questioningly look. All of the sudden I burst into tears. Amee came over and gave me a hug trying to comfort me. I cried on her shoulder. I felt really bad for the little girl that had died. I wished I could have helped her when it happened. She looked like a teenager so she probably missed a huge part of her life.

I heard a loud yawn come from the bed then a gasp. Soon two other pairs of arms were around me. They comforted me and before I knew it I wasn't as sad anymore. They led me to the bed to sit down before asking me anything.

"What happened?" Amee asked with a worried expression on her face.

"I saw the little girl again," I said. Everyone looked at me. Charisma's face seemed to have gone pale while Alekk and Amee hid their expressions. I took a deep breath before continuing. "She showed me how she was murdered," my voice was a whisper when I said the word murdered.

Everyone of my friends looked at me intently urging me to speak some more. I didn't feel like talking more about it but I had to if I wanted to help us get out of this mess that we were in.
