Morgan's POV:

For two weeks, I'd been waiting but today was the day. My aunt had very little chores for me and I'd do them later so right after school, I ran out into the forest. I didn't go too far so that I'd be able to find my way out, but I did go far enough so that I couldn't see the houses on my street anymore.

"Peace at last," I whispered to myself spinning in a circle.

I walked slowly and tried to pick up as many details as I could when I spotted a hummingbird. It was the brightest colored hummingbird I'd ever seen. The wings were the same color as my eyes, a blue-green, teal-ish kind of color. The hummingbird's wings seemed also to flash a beautiful metallic color in different shades of turquoise, royal blue, and dark green. It seemed to stay in one place really long, letting me examine it instead of ignoring me.

I grabbed my phone quickly. If this beautiful bird was going to stay in one place for so long, I had to get a picture of it. And I did. Several. I snapped as many as I could hoping to get one good picture before it would eventually fly away. After taking probably 20 pictures I stopped, but it still didn't leave. It just hovered in the air moving a few inches away as it jerked around, but still staying in the same general area.

Suddenly it flew away, almost in a panic, or maybe that was just my imagination. I kept walking slowly farther into the forest then sat down next to a tree to write down everything that had happened the last two weeks and just wrote, unconscious of what I was even writing.

Cody's POV:

A chill ran up my spine and I stopped paying attention to the movie we were all watching after school. Morgan's face popped into my head and I knew my unease had something to do with her. I ignored it for a second because a) I wasn't supposed to talk to her and b) I'd never felt this before. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't tell if the adrenaline I was feeling was from the movie or because I felt like I was about to be attacked. Eventually, I looked over at Alex and saw that he was completely distracted holding Ashley and watching the movie so I got up quietly and moved toward the stairs and toward my room which was the first one at the top. Once there I looked around for something. I don't even know what. I got another weird jolt of adrenaline and I saw the forest. Alex would hate it if I went to find her. I opened my window and hopped on the sill ready to jump.

"What're you doing?" My brother, Camden, asked leaning against the doorframe.

"I thought I said to knock," I retorted. He knocked three times to be sarcastic and walked in.

"What're you doing?" He asked again sitting down on my bed.

"I don't know. I just- I have this weird feeling like something bad's about to happen and I don't know why."

"Bad like how?"

"Like someone's about to get hurt."

"It's that girl, isn't it?"

"What girl?"

"The new one at school that's friends with Dominic. Alex was talking about her earlier."

"He thinks she's evil but h-he's wrong."

"And what if he isn't?" Trust my brother to ask that one question.

"I guess I'll have to take my chances," I said jumping out the window.

"Hey," he called after me.

"I'm going, Cam. You can't stop me."

"I wasn't going to." He dropped down an old wooden bat and a small jar of magic paste that my brother had invented for humans with large injuries which basically just included Dominic and Ashley. For now.
