My Clairvoyant

Part 8

Lorraine POV:

But as soon as the flopping stops. I see that's it and enormous barn owl, and the neck is broken and my eyes widen. I see that it's dead. Then the compassionate look is over on my face, that is until I hear a distant blend of voices.

It was pained, fearful, and full of anxiety. So I follow them to the back of the barn, where through a thick wall of tree's and shrubs, I can barely make out an old, beaten pathway that threads through.

And the voices begin to grow in volume as I walk deeper into the growth, I was fighting my way through the overgrown branches, and following what's left of the pathway.

Then I'm surrounded by a crumbling stone wall completely overgrown with weeds, is an old cemetery with maybe forty tombstones within some broken, some toppled and some incredibly worn. Then the voices seem to be coming from somewhere on the other side.

I move into it. The wind begins to tumble pieces of foliage across the ground, then I see a tombstone and it reads Bathsheba Sherman. So I move up to it and the voices gets louder and louder, it's almost deafening, but then....

The voices just stop, and then it's just awful silence. It then becomes unnerving, that I sense something, a presence it seems to be very close.

I scan through my surrounding trees, but everything is swallowed in the shadows of the night, I keep staring, knowing something is just beyond.

I turn around to face Bathsheba Sherman's grave. And I see something protruding slightly from the ground before it, and it's a child's hand, half covered with dirt and leaves; the skin is white, nails is chipped, and full of grime. And more leaves blow away and revealing more of a body barely buried.

So I inch closer and it's a young girl, matted hair clings to the porcelain white skin on the side of her face. And the head is turned sideways. And so I moved around to get a better view.

I look at the little girl's face blanches and it's the Perrons youngest daughter April.

Then the exposed white skin begins to turn grey, and continues to darken and becomes ash-like, and the breeze blowing away part of her body away.

Lilith POV:

Then suddenly I sense that someone is panicking and so I got up and left to go outside and then I feel that it's Lorraine who is panicking and so I left to go find her but I couldn't find her anywhere, then she comes out from behind the barn and so I ran upto her and I pulled her into my arms.

I said, "what's going on, love." And she said, "where is April?" I said, "she's inside with everyone else. What's going on I can feel you being in panic." Then she said, "I saw April body and I need to see if she is okay." So I nodded my head and we got up and left to go inside with her in my arms still.

Once we are inside the house I yelled, "April!" And with that she came down the stairs and with that Lorraine pulled April into her arms and making sure that she is all good. And so I pulled Lorraine back into my arms and then I brought her into my room which is the attic and I layed her down in the bed and I put the blanket on top of her and she fell asleep really fast like she is worn out. And I left the room so she can sleep peacefully.
