The Curse Of The Forest

Chapter 7: Curse at work

[Aljin's P.O.V]

I watched as she walked into the Old Forest, unaware of what she was headed for... The hole.

'She would fall into the hole and into the hands of Troll Valley..' Well that's what he had heard many times anyway from his grandmother, whose evil magic allowed her to haunt me in my dreams even though she was long gone. Specifically one that she came in yesterday, while I was dreaming about that girl with long brown wavy hair, chestnut brown eyes and dimples. When all of a sudden I hear a voice saying my grandmother's curse in a hoarse tone.

'..as she turns 18 her life will be over, she would fall into the hole and in the hands of Troll Valley where she will stay in captivity for ever..' I woke up, my body was sweating from the intensity of the dream, though it may seem like nothing but a few threatening words. To me it came like a never-ending nightmare.

The girls eyes were focused, intent on where she was going but clueless at the same time. The evil witch had said she would be lured in, but did that mean no one could stop her? Not even me? I prepared for the drop from the tall oak tree, my feet lifted off the branch and tucked horizontally as my body swooped down. I changed my appearance so that she could notice me, something to catch her eye. I hovered in front of her telling her to get out of here, telling her it was dangerous, but she gazed ahead without a word. Absent-mindedly. Then I watched as she walked closer and closer to the hole, and then she fell in.
