    Alluriana heard whispers as she played in the garden. They were soft, but she could hear the murmurs, as if they were right beside her ear.

Her head whipped around searching for the source of the sound, but all she saw were the trees standing tall under the blue sky.

"Is anyone there?" she asked, standing up.

Kill them, all they've ever done was hurt you.

"Who hurt you?" Alluriana whispered, worry written on her face.

It has to end, it all has to end.

"What has to end? Please come out, I won't hurt you." she said.

Why do they always leave? You have to make the pay.

Alluriana had suddenly felt her chest tighten and the air leaving from her lungs. Her eyes began to water as she struggled to breathe. Alluriana tried to scream, but she couldn't open her mouth. Tears were spilling out of her eyes as she had finally taken a gulp of air. She lied on the grass, trying to catch her breath, her chest heavily going up and down.
From the corner of her eye she saw hooded figures slowly walking towards her.

Kill them. They will hurt you again. Kill them, before they kill you.

Suddenly, Alluriana felt she had lost control of her own body, she watched as the hooded figures pointed their wands towards her. Alluriana raised her hand, and suddenly her vision went black.

A tall woman came rushing to the unconscious little girl, bringing her into her arms and pleading for her to wake up.

Alluriana's eyes slowly peeled her eyes open to see the woman's worried face. She slowly sat up and leaned against the woman. Bodies were scattered around her, not moving.

Alluriana's eyes began to fill with tears and she wept into the woman's chest.

"What happened my dear? Do you remember who had done this?" the spectacled woman asked the girl as she stoked the girl's hair.

"I did it Minerva, I know i did." Alluriana cried.

"But, my dear, these men are dead. This is dark magic, my child." Minerva's faced etched with confusion.

"I know i did it, they told me too." Alluriana's teared faced looked up to the frighten woman and cried once more.

"Who is they, my child?"

horror strike the old woman's face as she heard her answer.

"The voices."
