The Dark Souls •H.S•

"You are a witch honey." My mother said as she entered the room from the kitchen.

Suddenly everything around me was moving and my sight became blurry. The next thing I know is I hit the hard floor and was welcomed by the darkness.

When I woke up, I was hit by total confusion and fear. I couldn't accept the fact that whatever happened in the afternoon was real. So I just close my eyes, take deep breaths to calm myself down and make up my mind that none of whatever happened in the afternoon was real. But what if it was? The thought itself made me shiver and before I even realise, soon my eyes started pouring tears.

After my short breakdown, I head to the washroom and wash my face. Then I hop inside the shower, hoping everything will go away but it didn't help. I got back to my room and change. I look at the time, it says 5:30am so I have 1 hour and 30 minutes before school.

After an hour, feeling really frustrated, I take my bag and hurry towards the door. I reached out my hand towards the doorknob of the front door of my house and suddenly my hand just stopped. I furrow my brows and try moving my hand the other direction but it just wouldn't budge! In panic I look around, I could feel my sweat coming down from my forehead, then I see my mother coming out of her room and smiling warmly at me which sent chills down my spine causing goosebumps to arise all over my body.

"Have a good day sweetie." She said with that same warm smile. Why is she acting like nothing happened yesterday?

I furrow my brows and bite my lower lip as I could feel my hand getting released. When my hand got released, I immediately pulled the door and slam the door behind me. Breathing heavily in fear, I run towards my car and take out the keys with my trembling hand, the keys almost fell but I caught it on time. I quickly get inside the car and switch on the engine then I flee away as far as I could from my home.

I drive to a place outside the town, where it's flooded with trees, greenery and peace. I used to go there when I felt scared or lonely with my mum since kid. The cool breeze calms my nerves and the birds chirping bring peace in my mind. I park my car in the lonely parking lot and run as fast as I could. Finally, which felt like ages, the sight of the lake was at view and I stopped running, trying to calm myself and walk towards the lake. The sun shining on the surface of the water making it looks like a diamond sparkling. I walk towards the half made wooden house and sit on the stairs in front of the front door. This was house was here before my mum and I came here, no one knows who made it and why isn't it completed. It just looked like the person who was making it gave up for a reason. I just sit on the same spot for I don't know how many minutes or even hours. Just staring at the trees, hoping that this nightmare would be over and my life would be normal again.

"Why aren't you in school?" the sudden voice caused me to shriek out loud in fear.

I immediately stand up with my tears welling up my eyes, I could see a person but my view was blurry so I rub my eyes and soon I was staring into those darkest green. We were so close that I could smell his minty breath and our lips almost touching. I turn away without saying anything and get back to the same spot I was in. I just sit there quiet so does he. He sits beside me very quiet, quieter than me. I just look at him; he looks really stressed out about something.

"How did you find me?" I asked, breaking the sickening silence.

He just kept quiet, looking in front with furrowed brows. I just sigh and stay quiet.

"I felt it." he rasped, I look at him with confusion.

"Felt what?" I asked, he doesn't say anything but he turns to look at me in my eyes. I look deep into his eyes, getting lost in those dark green and then I start seeing the change, his eyes colour becomes lighter and there is a lime colour ring around his iris. I let out a gasp of surprise and felt my eyes going wide automatically.

"Your eyes." I said quietly, he just quickly turns away and stays quiet. What is up with people's eyes colour changing?

He then takes something out of his pocket and shows it to me. It's a necklace with a ruby stone. He then gets up and sits on his knee behind me. He pulls my hair from my right shoulder and pushes them on my left shoulder. I could feel the cold metal on my neck and soon it was settled there. I scan the necklace on my hand, I feel like I saw this necklace somewhere it's just way too familiar. It glows under the sun making it so beautiful, I absentmindedly smile at the sight and look at him with the same smile but he was already looking at me.

"Thank you" I whispered, he just nods. My thank you meant for a lot of other things, his presence itself made my mood a little better.

I just sit there in silence again, playing with my necklace absentmindedly and just staring at the trees. I even forgot that Harold is sitting right beside me so I just turn to look at him, but he isn't there. I look around for any sign of Harold but he was just gone again.

Suddenly, I heard a sound of a twig breaking, I quickly get up and look around. I see no one so I was just about to sit down but I heard it again. In curiousity, I walk towards the way the sound came from, in cautiousness. Suddenly, a man came and was so close to me, so I shrieked in fear and took a step behind which caused me to fall on my back and the man fell on top of me. He groans and then lifts his upper body with his arms and looks at me. I observe his face, his eyes are the most beautiful hazel colour and he also has beard. His hair is now a messy quiff and his breath smells like cigarette.

"Who the hell are you?" We both ask the same question at the same time.

He gets up and gets the dust off his clothes then reaches his hand out for me. I decline it and stand up by myself and take off the dust from my clothes and look at him. He just lets out a small chuckle and smiles at me.

"Hello, I am Zayn. Zayn Malik." He introduced.
