I woke up and turned to my left to see Peter absent from the bed.
Odd.
I swung my legs over the edge and stretched.
What does the world have in store for me today I wonder.

Peter took the heart from Henry.
The heroes managed to make a new heart. Weird.
So everybody lived. Blah blah blah.
I'm kinda freaked from the thing that witch said...
What if I turn into.... that....
I don't want be that.
I want to stay young with Peter.
Well. I looked young in the picture? BUT STILL.
I don't want to ruin what me and Peter have right now.
I know that, he can touch my neck without it hurting SO BADLY. But when it doesn't hurt me, he seems so... so happy.
And I love seeing him so happy. It makes me happy AND THEN EVERYBODY IS HAPPY.
But most of all. I want Peter to be happy. I don't care about me. I want him to feel good, and that's all that really matters.
I put on my shoes and stuck a dagger in, just incase.
I walked out to see the camp. But no peter... hm
I started to practise cartwheels and ariels, handstands and flips. Ya know. The usual.

Peter has been away a long time... weird...
He must be out doing his business.....
I felt something tap my shoulder and I turned around to see Peter smile at me.
I hugged him and he kissed my forehead.
"Where were you?" I questioned.
"Just talking to Melody about what that fortune teller said." Peter said.
"And?" I asked.
"She said that it isn't set in stone. That when the time comes, the choice will already be made. And it is all to do with our relationship." Peter said back to me.
"Well." I smiled "our relationship is gold. So I don't see their problem." I said and kissed him.
"You got that right." He smirked.

It's night in the camp now, and I'm staring into the fire... but it's acting... strange.. every time I look at it. Really look. All I see is death. Rage. Killing. Skulls. Dead bodies.... it scares me...
Peter seemed to notice I was.. off. So he came over.
"What's wrong?" He asked, concerned.
"Nothing. I'm fine." But as I said that. Peter turned into my dead mother... her eyes white and grey, he skin dull and lifeless. Her hair draped down her body like a cloak.
I screamed and scrambled up and backed up against a tree.
I held onto the tree for dear life.
Oh god.
She has come back to haunt me, I know it.
"(Y/n) what's wrong?" She said in her deformed voice. I started to tear up.
I looked around and Felix had turned into father.
His skin, dull and lifeless like my mother, eyes white and grey.
I screamed again when I saw Felix. Blood now dripped from the both of them.
From their mouths and from their stomach.
Now everyone in the camp was.
I trembled and backed up into a tree.
Everyone came closer saying things, that just came out in screams.
Like a horrible creature.
Then my knees buckled and I broke down.
I held my head between my knees and my arms crying, rocking back and forth.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry." I whimpered.
"So sorry so sorry so sorry" I said frantically as I rocked back and forth.

You see. I watched my parents get stabbed to death. They told me to stay in the closet until it was safe. Not to come out, even if I hear screaming.
I did as I was told.... but when I heard my mother screaming I ran down the stairs. I mean. What other 7 year old wouldnt?
I saw the killer stab my mother countless times. As my eyes widened more with every stab.
My dad, already cold, dead, on the floor.
I didn't scream, I didn't cry, I didn't run.
I watched.
Trembling. Terrified. Watched.
That was the day my head snapped.
I snapped.
I'm still broken

That's why this has happened.
This always happens.
It stopped when I came here but.... I guess it started again..

I slowly lifted my head up to see the face of the killer. I know it. Ofcourse I know it. It's the face of the first person I killed.
After I snapped, my new powers kicked in, I snapped his neck with my mind, without thinking.
It's rare that I imagine the killer. I still don't know who he is.
But he haunts me every day.

I screamed and scrambled up again.
He tried to touch me and I blasted him back.
I was so terrified, I blacked out.
