Letters to Charlie

Unknown POV

Right on time, she walked to his plot and placed six letters on his grave wrapped in ribbon.

I've managed to avoid the coven since last week.

I wrote to my parents and told them I'd return home when I was free.

She sat in front of the headstone and began talking to Charlie.

I waited in the shadows until I didn't hear a word. I waited a few minutes and then I stepped out.

What surprised me, laid on the ground.

She had fallen asleep with her journal in her hands.

Day 25

I'm visiting you at the moment, Charlie.

I am glad that I can still visit you, even though youre not here...

A few teardrop stained the page. I closed the journal and since I already broke the rule. I broke it again.

I picked her small frame up off the ground. She weighed nothing it seemed to me. I had not run in a while with someone that was mundane.

I decided not to test it out with her. I walked all the way to her house. I was lucky she left her window open.

I pushed off the ground and landed on her balcony. I couldn't go inside, but I was able to place her on the daybed right under the window that was opened.

I left her journal with her and I sat on the chair on the balcony going over my options.

I didn't think I could ever return to the coven now.

I didn't sleep, but I still closed my eyes trying to remember what it was like.

I've only been like this for a few years.

My eyes opened. My chest tightened.

A single heartbeat.

I wasn't dreaming. It happened again then it went back to normal.

How does a dead man's heart beat?
