Summary: Raven snuck out to the woods with out Lola and Draco knowing little did she know Abbi followed her

Raven moved carefully through the trees, her wand gripped tightly in her hand. She knew her mother and uncle would lose their minds if they found out she was here—but she needed to see for herself.

She had to know what was out here.

The air was thick with dark magic, pressing against her like an invisible force. The closer she got to the heart of the woods, the more her skin prickled with unease.

Then she heard it.

A whisper.

Low. Hollow. Calling her name.

Raven’s grip tightened on her wand. “Who’s there?”

No answer.

A shadow flickered between the trees, moving too fast to be the wind.

She swallowed hard, taking another cautious step forward.

Then—

A twig snapped behind her.

Raven spun around, wand raised—

And nearly screamed when she saw Abigail.

The little girl stood there, her wide green eyes full of fear.

“Abbi?!” Raven whispered harshly, her heart hammering. “What are you doing here?”

“I—I followed you,” Abigail stammered. Her tiny hands clutched a stuffed dragon. “Didn’t wanna be alone.”

Raven’s stomach dropped.

“No, no, no,” she muttered, running a hand through her hair. “Abbi, you shouldn’t be here—”

Then the whispering returned.

This time, it was louder.

Raven froze.

The shadows around them shifted.

Abigail whimpered, clutching Raven’s leg. “Waven… I don’t like this game.”

Raven swallowed. “It’s not a game.”

Then—

A voice echoed through the woods.

"Two little girls… lost in the dark…"

Raven’s blood ran cold.

Abigail clutched her tighter. “Waven, I wanna go home.”

Raven tightened her grip on her wand.

She had made a mistake.

And now, they weren’t alone.
