It was a few days after I left him. But Jason's lips was lingering all over mine. Even though I pretty much kissed a dead person, or soul, it feels so alive. I almost thought he kissed back. But I guess it was just my feelings. He can't be kissing back, there's no soul or spirit in that body anymore. I frown to myself. Just a few days more, maybe 4 or 3 days until I turn 18.. I lost counts. So much has been happening.

"Darling, have you got enough rest?" I saw Charles poked head from my bedroom's door.

Charles has been so nice to me, he asked if I ever need or want anything. It confuses me. Before I was in the Darks, he was being so mean.

I guess he wants something when I turn 18. You can never trust the Darks. The last time I trusted the Darks was when one of the food server came to serve me a death potion. Charles came to check on me, when he smells that potion, he killed that lady. It was a teriffic scene. I had to watch people die in front of me twice. I wonder who's next.

"Darling," Charles called again. "Is something bothering you?"

"Why did you asked that question when you know what the answer is exactly?" I asked him back.

He chucked. And I think he whispered something about Jason. I kept my eyes on him walking away from my door and dissapeared under the darkness. I was used to that by now. It only has been a couple of days, but it felt like years. Not years, maybe months.

I haven't ate for days. Since the day Jason died. I can't stop thinking about it, but I want it to vanish from my head. I kept thinking how. Too much thinking. I fell into a deep sleep.

I was in a tall forest, try to look around but I found no light, until I heard something called,

"Elizabeth, help me!". I hear a voice cried. And I think I'm familiar with that voice.

"Who's there?" I asked loudly. Hoping that familiar voice would hear me.

"Help me.. This is your guardian! I'm not dead! I am not dead!" He spoke again.

"Jason?!" I cried

"I am not dead!" The voice seems to be further apart. So I ran forward, only to make the voice slower.

I tried to run in every direction, but it was never louder. Each time, it gets slower. Until I realised, it was only all in my head.

"Jason!" I cried. Fuck, it was just a dream. But it felt so real. The voice that called me, could it really be Jason? Wasn't he dead?

I wander around the Darks' castle. looking around. My instinct told me to stop in a particular area, standing in front of an odd door. It's a light colored wooden door, and it has tree branches and roots covering it. It looked very auntique, scary but, so fascinating. I was told by my head, to see what's inside.

That's what I did, slowly, my fingers was about to reach the knob.

The door knob was almost twisted by me, I was nervous. But it all stopped when I hear a cough, beside me.

I hope it's not Charles!

"No one is allowed to go in there" An old woman's voice said strictly. Could be the oldest maid. She looke fierce, like a monster who was disguesed to be as a sweet girl but turns into a dark spirited ghosts when you give them the wrong flavoured candy.

At least it's not Charles.

"Oh I um, Sorry I thought it was the loo" I lied, with the most stupidest reason ever.

"The loo is over to th left" The woman pointed, and waited for me to leave.

I nodded, and went away. Maybe not today, but I'll see what's inside that rustic door. I smirked.
