It was someone here, but I didn't recognize the voice. The person the whisper came from was a woman. And I saw a shadow behind the oak.
"Step out!" I said.
"Do you really want to know who I am" the voice whisperd.
"Yeah, I do."
The shadow was slowly walking out in the moonlight. Then I saw her face. She was very old. Her face was full of wrinkles and scars. But it was something about the face that was bothering me. The old woman reminded me of someone. Someone that I had know,or... know.
"You?" I whispered.
"Yes, me.."
"But why..? Was it you? What have I done? Where is my family? I almost screamed.
"Haha... You have a lot of questions Aria. But I can't answer all of them. But I can show you..."
"Show me where my family is! Now!"
"You'll have to wait until the right moment.."
"But why do I have to wait?! Can't you just tell me now?!"
It was quiet for a long time. But then she broke the silence.
"Come." She said and started to walk towards the forest.
I didn't know if I could trust her, but it felt like I didn't have a choice. S I walked in the same direction as her. I was afraid. Afraid of the dark and that I didn't know anything of what was going to happened. She walked into the forest and I followed her. I have no idea how long time we were walking. Maybe an hour maybe two days. When I was with her, I was so helpless and small. If a ran away, it felt like she was going to catch me before I came like 10 meters. She seemed to be unnatural. And she talked like she was from a different time.
When I thought the silence was to quiet, I broke it.
"Where exactly are we going?" I asked.
"You'll see. In time."
I was so tired of not knowing anything. And I still wanted answers.
I didn't hear any footsteps except for my own. She had stopped. I saw her doing something. She smelled in the air. And she got more wrinkles on her forehead.
And out of nowhere, she creemed;
"GET DOWN!"
I did what she said and she did it to. And then I heard a sound. A growling. From an animal. I looked up and saw something that I thought didn't even existed. A demon. I know that is was a demon because I had read about thm in some fantasy book, and then I thought they seemed to be really scary. But now, when I actually was beside a real one,I can't even explain how afraid I was! The demon was like in some kind of a human form but much skinnier an taller. And it had a broken black hood over it's "body" if you could call it that.
But hen I heard the old woman say some word in a different language that I didn't understand. But when she had finished her sentence, it was like the demon slowly disappeared. Like a little bit at the time
When the demon was all gone, I felt a tear on my cheek. I'm not quite sure why I cried. But I think it was because of my frightened.
"Are you okey?" She asked. A little bit kinder this time.
"Yeah I think so."
I continued;
"That was a demon, right?"
"Yeah. How did you now that? You can't have seen one right?"
"No but.. Hang on a minute.. How could I see one now and not before?"
"Well, when I saw you earlier by the oak, I thought a spell in my head upon you. I can do that to anyone I want to. And when you have that spell, you can see magical creatures and they can see you. It's almost that you become magical or unnatural."
"Okey I think I understand. But can't you answer at least where we are going?"
"Not yet"
I became quiet for a while.
"We are here now" She said after a long time.
I woke up from my thoughts and saw where we was. Well I didn't reconize it, bu we were still in the forest. But it was a part of the forest that I'd never been in. It was dark and a lot trees. And in the middle of all trees, it was two trees that made like a large wooden gate. The forest here was beautiful.
"We will have to go threw that gate. But we have to say a spell to each other to come threw. I will start and you just say after me when I'm finished. Okey?" The woman said.
"Alright I get it." I answerd.
"Mendo lesien gide luv... Aria Blake."
Then it was my turn.
"mendo lesien gide luv...Jennifer Cleaver."
