I Know Places In The Dark (H.S.)

Chapter 8

Marie's P.O.V.

I was in the woods, it was night, and the moon was shining bright. So bright it could replace the sun.

Stupid Harry. How could he leave me in the woods!

I saw a couple of people just roaming around. Why were they in the woods in the middle of the night?

They looked lost and their skin tone was so pale, almost as if they were dead.

"Where am I?" I asked the old lady walking by me. She looked at me but didn't answer. "Can you hear me?" I ask her. She stared at me for a couple of seconds but later walked away.

I didn't know where to go, so I just walked straight ahead. Everyone was walking alone..

"Hi.." I wave at a little boy who was passing by. He stops and stares at me. "Can you help me?" I bend my knees to get close to his level.

(A.N.): lmao I stopped writing at this part because I started getting scared hahaha.

Like the old woman, he just stared at me. I decide to just wander off more and find someone who will answer me. I walked away from the little boy.

"You don't belong here." The little boy spoke. I looked back at him. He stood there with no emotion. Fear rushed into me.

"What do you mean?" I walk back to him.

"You're human, you shouldn't be here." He answers. I was taken back by his words.

"Of course I'm human." I take a few steps away from him.

"Don't talk to witches boy." An old man who looked like a farmer walked towards. "You know they hate our kind." He puts his hand on the boy's shoulder.

"What're you talking about?" I could feel my heart pounding fast, I'm sure they could hear it. Witches? They don't exist.

But what did I do to that wolf?

Am I a witch?

"Listen hun, you're dead. This is where the supernatural afterlife comes to after they've died."

Dead?

Dead??

"I'm not dead." I half laugh. "We're in the woods where I was last at with my friend." Or whatever he is to me.

"I know you're in shock, that's how I was too but you'll get used to being alone in these woods." He carries on walking and the little boy runs offs.

I can't be dead.. No, I can't be.

"What happened before you woke up?" I ask myself. I squint my eyes shut and scrunch my nose up, thinking it'll help me remember.

Flashbacks of Harry and I running away, my fear of being around Harry, Harry getting bit on the shoulder... I did something to the wolf.

Ok, ok, focus Marie.

Then Harry told me to stop but I couldn't because it felt amazing when the power came out of me. Almost as if I've been holding it in.. Then the last thing I remember is....
