A Dead Man's Bride - Cursed One

Chapter 15

That night Jessica was terrified and even as she slept in the same room with Rita the horror of what had touched her was making her feel very diffrent. She tried a lot to sleep, but she was not able to. Rita was very tired from the journey so she had gone to sleep, Jessica was laying in her bed hoping to sleep, get into the dream world and ask the stranger to help her because it seemed as if he was the only comfort to her, someone who had the answers to what she wanted to know. Another hour had passed by and twilight was at hand when Jessica heard a whisper of her name. She looked around but no one was to be seen, she walked out of the room and the whispering sound kept leading her towards the room where her mother was kept when she was on her death bed. Jessica had never entered that room, infact she hated it for the fact that her mom was taken away.

She waited outside staring at the door but the voice calling out her name did not stop and finally Jessica entered in and she saw the stranger standing next to the bed on which her mom had died. She rushed towards him and said (worried), "please help me. What is happening to me?"

Stranger, "Jessica time is running, listen to me and do all as I say, the reason why I told you about the monk and the chaple is because the only way you can stop all the deaths happening in Edunsteen is by reaching out to that place."

Jessica, "we tried getting information on that place but it dose not exist."

Stranger, "yes it dose not exist in any records but it dose, you need to go to those woods and you will find it. It is calling out to you for salvation."

Jessica, "how is all this related to me? Why me?"

Stranger, "because you have the gift of your mother, you can pray for cursed souls and the sprite that returned to tempt you is the reason for the curse, it wants to put the seed of sin in your heart so that you become unworthy to pray for salvation of those who's only hope rests in you."

Jessica, "who are you and why do you tell me all this? What is your name?"

Stranger, "I am a fugitive, a soul that is hunted in the world of sprite and that awaits salvation. I had a name once but those who hunt me are known to it, if I utter it, they will hunt me down. I cannot tell you anything beyond what I have spoken. Find the chaple Jessica and find out the truth behind your mother's death. Let the demon who tempts you have no control over your body."

Jessica, "hey wait please, I need to know more."

and the stranger disappeared with the light taking over the twilight.
