The Dark Souls •H.S•

•- S.E.V.E.N -•

"What are you doing!?" a very familiar voice said from behind me.

The sudden voice caused me to shriek out loud and the box fell from my hand, the necklace was out of the box too. I look back, seeing Meg standing by the doorway with a deep scowl on her face.

"Me- Meg!" I shrieked, and then sighed in relief.

"What are you doing?" She demanded.

"I- I was just looking for the box" I said and pointed at it on the floor. Her eyes averted to it and then looked back at me. She quickly snatches the necklace and put it inside the box.

"Why the hell were you searching for it!?" She raises her voice and I furrow my brows in confusion.

"Why are you behaving like this?" I demanded this time.

"Like what!?" She yelled in frustration while tugging at her hair.

I stand up and was about to take the box from her hand but she moved away and gave me a stern look.

"Seriously Meg? Put the box where it was! Give it to me!" I yelled,

"No! I can't give it to you!" She yelled back.

"Meg seriously, what the hell is your problem!? Why can't you give it to me!? Why are you and mum acting so weird all of a sudden about that damn box!?" I yelled at her,

Meg stops and exhales a very huge breath. She looks at me and for the first time, I see her eyes colour changing. Her black pupils mixes with lavender and her dark brown coloured iris changes to lavender and is surrounded by golden colour. I look at her with wide eyes as I am hit with bewilderment.

"Me- Meg, your- your eyes!" I said, while my voice shakes in fear and worry.

"Listen to me Em, do not ever touch that necklace. It's dangerous for you." She said, piercing through my eyes.

"But- but your eyes, Meg" I stutter as tears well up my eyes causing my vision to blur.

"It will all be alright, Em. You will come to know everything when the time is right." She calmly and warmly said, and touches my arm. Her eyes start glowing and it's hard to look away from her beautiful eyes. Suddenly, my eyelids start getting heavier. I try so hard to keep them open but it's hard to keep them open and then in a second I am engulfed with darkness.

°°°

I open my eyes and look at the surrounding. I squint my eyes to lessen the blurriness in my eyes. I am in my room, on my bed. I hear distinctive voices outside my room so I get up and slowly make my way from where the voice is coming from.

"Why did you keep it here!? You know it isn't safe to keep the necklace in here around her!" I hear a familiar voice said and immediately I recognised whose voice it is. It is Meg.

"I didn't know that she would go sneaking around my room for the necklace!" Mum hissed.

Necklace? What necklace? And then it hit my mind. I was in mum's room and then Meg was there and then her eyes colour change, but it was all a dream. Wasn't it?

I start walking towards them and their voices stopped, as if they knew I am going to them. I stand in front of both of them.

"Enough. Tell me what is the deal with that necklace and why did mum lie to me and why did Meghan hide her colour changing eyes?" I demanded,

They both exchanged looks before finally looking at me. I raise a brow, indicating them to tell me. Mum walks towards me and holds my arms.

"You will come to know, when the time is right." She softly said and for some reason, her words carved in my brain and made me follow her words.

"Now go back to your room." She said, I noticed that her eyes colour are changed but before I could set my eyes on her eyes, my feet started working on its own.

I head back to my room and lay on the bed. I close my eyes and just think nothing about anything. I start cursing myself in the head for letting her use me. I don't even know why I acted without my own wish. I stayed in the dark for I don't know how many hours, I didn't even notice that I started to fall sleepy and eventually I was drifted into the darkness.

I woke up to someone calling out my name, I am not sure if someone really is calling my name so I brush it off and let myself fall asleep again.

"Emily" someone whispered, again.

I sat up immediately with sudden shock and look around furiously.

"Emily" the voice is insanely familiar. I cover both of my ears hoping that it would go away and closed my eyes tight as I did so.

I slowly uncover my ears and open my eyes. I was about to let out a scream of surprise but he covered my lips with his palm. He dives deep into my eyes while he sticks his index finger on his lips, indicating me to be quiet. I nod my head still trying to process how he entered my room without me knowing.

I hardly gulp and nod my head, agreeing to stay quiet. Then suddenly someone barges into my room, making my head turn quickly towards it.

"You awake!" Meg exclaimed, I look into her eyes and it's a normal dark brown colour. I shake my head thinking that I saw a dream. I quickly look where Harold was but he isn't there.

"Umm- yeah." I said, while furrowing my brows in confusion. For some reason Meg was looking around my room.

"What's wrong Meg?" I ask her, her eyes snap back at me and it's still the normal colour. She smiles warmly at me and shakes her head.

"Well I will be leaving now." She said and I look closely into her eyes. It shined for a second and back to normal. I gasp in surprise, maybe I am imagining stuff.

"Yeah okay" I said and looked down at the floor. I heard the door closing and I sigh in relief.

I close my eyes, thinking of how did my life become this complicated. Thinking of where did my life go wrong.

"It's not your fault" I jump at the deep sound and find Harold sitting beside me.

His scent hit my nostrils and it calms me immediately. I look at him with a deep frown. Trying to figure out what is he doing to me? He brings his hand near my face and cup my cheek, I could feel the heat radiating from his hand to my cheek and sparks going off in my tummy. I close my eyes inhale sharply, while enjoying the sensation.

"What are you doing to me, Emily?" He whispers, funny because that's the same question I have been asking myself since the day I set my eyes on you.

Suddenly his eyes turn cold and he just stares at me. The way he is staring at me with no emotion, send shivers down my spine. He got up and was about to leave but I held his wrist and suddenly a ball of bright light flashed as if a camera's flash blinding and hurting my eyes.
