The flame of love is now just a cold loneliness.

We landed right near the forest that was filled with dead trees. Everything looked so... dead. All the trees was drooping and some was even lying still on the ground like it was  destined for the trash, no water was in sight and the leaves and grass did not have the bright green colour they were suppose to have.

"Welcome to the dark side," Ryder smirked, "What do you think of it?"

"Well.. it-its something" I said nervously., giving him a faint smile.

"Well you haven't seen anything yet."

Great

"What else is there?" I asked curiously.

"Well lets see, there's the cemetery of doom, the floating ghosts in the abandoned mansion just over to the north, the werewolves, oh and the best one is the demon bar"

What?! I did not want to see any of these places. Hearing their names makes my spine shiver automatically. I did not want to explore whatever is left in this world and I most definitely do not want to go to a bar where demons roamed in every corner. Hunter saw the fear in my eyes and walked towards me.

"Come On " he whispered. "What's the worst that can happen?"

I gave him a small smile and a nod to tell him that I'm with him. We started to walk through the path of the forest and the steep hills.  I spotted in the distance a tall, black castle that was even bigger than ours. I stopped for a minute to look at the view of the castle and realised that it was probably where The Dark Lord lived. The dark angels that flew around the castle was probably guarding the palace walls and waiting to kill anyone who was courageous enough to enter to their doom.

"Hey Rose!" a voice called out to me, snapping me back to reality.

It seemed that I was so distracted thinking about the castle I lost focus of what I was doing. That figures out why Ryder was already way ahead of me.

"Wait for me!" I yelled back running to where he was.

"See that little building over there? We're nearly there" he pointed to the bar on the hill.

As Ryder and I walked closer to the building I noticed that the bar sign looked like it has been written in....blood; 'Deathly Hallows' it read. This place was certainly gives me the creeps, especially with that dark presence i have been feeling since we first step foot on this side of the world.

"You coming in?" He asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Uh.. yes I am coming".

"Oh and just a warning, if you don't want to die stay close to me at all times" he smirked.

Oh how wonderful

The first thing that popped in my head when Ryder and I walked in was that I smelt a strong sense of blood around the room. I walked a little more until tiny drops of blood dropped down on my arm. I stopped and looked over my head. What I saw next shocked me so bad that Ryder had to cover my mouth to prevent me from screaming. Heads of men, women and children was hanging up in the ceiling like decorations.
