A/n: I'm sorry for taking so long but I hope the chapter's worth it. I gotta say that it's very, very long. Happy reading!

No one's POV
The sound of crunching leaves under a girl's feet is heard through the quiet forest. The wind is whistling around trunks making the leaves dance on its peaceful song. The only living things awake at that hour are the crickets who don't stop singing and the owls whose sound slowly fades away.

Yn looks around confused nor recalling when she made her into the woods. She's in her pyjama and walking barefoot at a late hour considering the sun hasn't come up yet. Something inside of her tells her to keep walking and the dreadful thought of what she might find in the middle of the woods creeps inside her, climbing up on her spine.

Freaking Banshee powers! Can't get a day off. Walking around the unknown area she feels eyes watching her. It's a weird feeling but she chooses to ignore it, after all being a Banshee comes with a ton of different weird feelings and being watched is one of them.

"Why the hell am I here?" She mumbles under her breath still walking with hesitating steps. Everytime something like this happens she either finds a body or just something that could probably kill her. Any way this would go it won't be a pleasant outcome and she knows it, but still doesn't back down from finding out what she needs to.

The sound of a twig snap coming from behind her startles the brunette as she looks around. A siluete a few meters behind hides behind a tree causing Yn to tense up. Was it a good idea to call out? No. She couldn't know who was following her, especially in the middle of the night when she didn't even remember how she found herself in the middle of the forest. Yn doesn't have time to continue that thought because of a voice, probably inside her head, hopefully there.

Run.

She looks in the direction she was previously facing and doesn't hesitate to sprint that way as fast as she can. She heard hurried footsteps behind her and she increases her speed leaving the person behind. The Martin girl abruptly stops somewhere near a weird looking tree, its branches are tangled looking like a braided structure and the trunk having a hole in the middle. Yn examines her surroundings carefully feeling that the place she was subconsciously looking for is this one.

A certain spot cathes her eyes where the soil looks like it had been dug out and put back in. She cautiously steps towards it taking a moment to look around making sure no one's there. When she looks back at the ground a hand erupts from it frightening the girl and making her stumble backwards, falling to the ground. Before Yn can think of her next move her foot is grabbed by the hand and in a second she can see a boy coming out of the dirt. Her eyebrows furrow when she realizes the boy has claws too long for her liking and his eyes are glowing purple.

"Where are they?" He growls at Yn, drools around his mouth like some kind of psycho. The girl opens her mouth to speak but all the words die on her tongue. Not getting any answer, the boy roars angrily before sticking his claws in Yn's right thigh. The brunette let's out a piercing scream while the boy digs himself out, pulling on the hand in Yn's leg. She grips on his hand trying to pull it out, but when he's fully out of the ground and acknowledges the girl's efforts he leans closer to her grabbing Yn by the neck with his free hand, the long claws digging into her throat. She tries to pull away but his grip hardens.

They stare into each other's eyes before he looks down at his hand in Yn's thigh. He smirks mischievously before pulling his hand down making the wound bigger. The Martin girl clenches her teeth trying not to cry out because of the pain while the boy seems to enjoy her reaction.
