We were at home. There was a silence among all of us. Nikita was there and she was still angry a bit.

-It's all my fault...- I muttered. Nikita was the only who heard and said:-No, it isn't. It's his fault, not yours. By the way... What is your name?- -My name's Aimee... Aimee Evans...- -Well, Aimee, it is not your fault. It's Michael's, he was the one who trusted more Jessica than his real friends and his sisters.-. I looked at her and said:-Who's Jessica?- -Have you ever met Isla? The demon kid...- -Yeah, we killed her.- -That's good but Jessica is the one who gives a life to that creatures and she's Michael's girlfriend, or, at least, ex...-.

I did a surprised face and Sophie looked at us wtih surprise, same as Amelia and Jenny. Amelia said:-You're really informed, aren't you Niki?- -I am. I'm his own sister and I know everything about him. He was even my best friend.- -Was he?- Sophie said. Niki nodded.

Axel came in the room and said:-What are you girls talking about?- -We're talking about Michael and the relationship that Nikita had with him, what are you doing here?- -Oh, sounds good. Have you girls got some news?- -Yeah, we have.- Nikita said.

She continued:-I know who's the famous Jessica. But now... Who wants to go in the woods with me?- -Can I?- -Sure Aimee!-. Axel smiled and followed us. Sophie came as well.

We all started walking around the woods. It was kinda scary, but we got comfortable.

We were all walking with cold feet.

Our breath was cold as well.

We could hear some creature noises, but we didn't care.

We only kept our eyes open.

At one point we saw a boy crying. It was a little boy, around 10 or 11. We got closer and he looked at us.

He started smiling, slowly getting  bigger and taller...

He was a fully black thing. He growled and we started running. It was scary.

Its mouth was covered with blood, same as its hands and body. It probably killed someone before, but we wouldn't want to meet its victims.

We ran faster and faster.

The thing was still running behind us, trying to kill us...

I was scared, anxiety was running through my body.

'Why me?!' I thought. At one point, my vision started to get blurred... Complete black was now dominating my vision. I couldn't see anything.

I heard some muffled screams.

Am I dead...?
