Amoung The Shadows

Chapter 8-Mary

She was quite beautiful. She did have raven black hair, beautiful dark eyes, and white pearly skin. She stood before us in a flowy white dress. It was torn in places and muddied, but still beautiful. I dont know how I knew, but I whispered "Mary"
She nodded.
I looked over at Teresa, but she looked like she was frozen. Similar to what happened with Newt when we first got to Neverland.

"You look different, Faith."
She said my name like she wasnt used to it. Maybe she knew my real name!
"Wait...you know me? And how do you know my name?!" She smiled. She was looking straight into my eyes. Her eyes were kind and soft. They were almost filled with pity. I hate pity.

"Why did...wait...I thought you were...no...I...UGH!" I was so confused. I remembered Peter saying he pushed her away, and her name was crossed out on my chest. I remember Felix said he had to stop practice early because he was going to Mary's grave. She is supposed to be dead! Impossible.

"I'm here Faith. I searched for you...I missed you so much!" Her eyes were becoming glassy and at that she ran to me and threw her arms around me. I let her hug me. Then I placed my hands on her back and held her as she sobbed lightly into my shoulder. I'm sorry shirt, I will dry you later.
When she pulled away from me her eyes were puffy but she was still beautiful. Almost not human. "I dont remember you." I whispered. She heard and nodded. "I know. Let's go, i'll show you. Come on." She took my hand and was about to pull me with her, but I let her hand go. "What about Teresa? We cant just leave her here!" She nodded and walked up to the frozen Teresa. She then touched her and Teresa came to life. I gasped. Mary has magic. Teresa screamed. "No! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU CREATURE! GET AWAY OR I'LL...I'LL" I laughed slightly. "Relax Teresa. This is Mary and she's not going to hurt you, I promis!" Teresa nodded and put her arrow back in the quiver.

Mary walked back to me and took my hand. I nodded and the three of us walked through the dark forest.

After a few hours we stopped. Mary waved her hand infront of a huge oak that was to my right. The oak suddenly shuddered and an opening appeared in it's bark, just big enough too fit a human. Mary stepped in and beckoned us to follow.

We stepped into what looked like a small room. It was quite homely and neat. The thing that really shocked me was that in the kitchen I heard a call "MARY? IS THAT YOU?!" I was sure the voice belonged to one of the boys that dissapeared. Mary looked at me with wide eyes. I began to walk in the direction of the sound. I heard Mary yell "WAIT!" But it was too late. I stepped into what seemed like the kitchen and saw a shirtless Thomas. "Hi...Faith..." He said shyly.
"Surprise?" He added weakly.

Surprise?
I said weakly.

I fooled you last time, didnt I 😈
