[ arlen's pov ]

     I continued to stand there in the middle of the woods,watching the witch pace back in forth. I wonder what's going through his head right now. I mean,obviously its something bad but....how bad exactly? Must be something life threatening if the witch is scared. Though he kind of seems more frustrated than scared.

"What's..wrong?" I asked,deciding this horrid silent lasted long enough and that I now want answers. What's going on? What's up with the voices in my head? Have I gone insane?

He looked kind of hesitant for a second,as if he wasn't sure on what to say. He rubbed his hands together nervously,looking anywhere but my face. Finally,he said, "Uh..it's..nothing." I stared at him in pure bewilderment. Did he really just say that all of that was nothing?! Preposterous.

"Yeah,right." I growled under my breath.

"Look," He snapped. "Its honestly nothing,just go home and don't worry about it! Leave me alone!" He looked just about ready to have a mental breakdown. The looks of pain,dread,and anger all etched into his pretty features. It didn't look right on him.

I opened my mouth,about to say something else,though not sure what,but before I could say another word the witch was snapping at me once again. "Leave! Now! Before I eviscerate you!"

I looked at him kind of stunned,though didn't object on his command. I quietly turned around and slowly started to scurry off out of the woods. Though I didn't think he was really going to kill me,I didn't want to exactly take any chances. I started to run a little bit faster,listening to the leaves crunch beneath my feet,enjoying the usually agitating sound for once.

I opened the old worn down door to my home and walked inside. My house seemed a lot more..creek-y than usual. It seemed every step I took an obnoxious creak could be heard. Maybe I should get that checked. Eventually. I walked into my room,plugging up my dead phone and putting my earbuds right next to them on my bedside table.

I was about to walk out of my room until..I stopped. I don't know why I stopped,I just..did,almost like something in the very back of my mind was telling me to stay for a minute,as if something was wrong or..out of place. Which,I feel was. I felt like something was out of place,but I couldn't figure out what. I stood there stuck in place for a moment,looking all around my worn down room. Something wasn't right. Despite the fact I couldn't exactly see it,I could feel it.

After a minute of looking around and not finding anything wrong,I slowly started to walk out of my room,a suspicious look in my eyes as I slowly closed the door behind me. I stood there for a moment,outside of my bedroom door. I thought I saw shadows in my room moving,through the small little space under the closed door. Things were moving in there. Then again,maybe I was just losing my mind,maybe I was just really tired,who knows,but what I do know is,there is no way their could be something in my room.

I lent up against my door,my ear up against it,trying to hear something,anything. I could hear faint creaking sounds,like something was moving around on the old floorboards. I sighed and shook my head. I leaned away from the door and started walking down the hall. I'm not dealing with this right now. I'm just not.

I flopped down on my couch,staring straight up at the ceiling,thinking. What ever happened to this poor town. What did it ever do to deserve such horrid fate. Then again,I knew why,but it wasn't everyone's fault,at least I don't think so. I know it wasn't partially my fault,I wasn't even born yet back then. I really don't get it,why does everyone have to suffer for something some other people did? And I'm sure..maybe..some people were afraid..even before he turned evil. Afraid to love some random kid off the streets. I get it,but at the same time I don't get it.

And I don't think the Red Witch is all that bad himself. All he needs is a little love. Like everyone else does. Love could do wonders to a person. Whether its a family kind of love or a romantic kind of love,its all he really needs....its all I need too.

......Maybe we could love each other. As crazy as it sounds.

Sorry for the short chapter,lovelies. But I felt that was a good place to stop at and I haven't really updated this in a while. ^^

I promise to make the next chapter longer and I'll try to post that one before Halloween. ^^
