"....Please! I can't do this without you."

"Just tell me what to do! Just tell me how to bring you back!"

I can't express how much this pains me to see her beg and plead with me.

I miss her.

Her touch.

Her smell.

Her laugh.

"Fuck!" I shout after telling her I have to go through the ouija board.

"Remember, did this to yourself." My, "guide" tell me. When Im not being tortured repeatedly by sister, Im allowed to check up on Ryder. Besides that, purgatory sucks.

I'd actually rather be sent to hell.

"Is there a way for me to get back, though? To see her? Hypothetically speaking.."

"The way you came is the way you get out. If you get out."

Wait, katana?

"Kira's katana..." I whisper to myself. Why didn't I think of that?!

"Can I be honest?" My guide says, taking my hand and walking with me. "I don't think you should be here."

"You don't? You don't think-" "No, what you did was horrible, but seeing her this sad reminds me of my mom."

"Why are you even here?" I ask. "How are black eyed children even created?"

"I was killed, and my soul isn't at rest. I agreed to stay here if I wanted to keep my family safe. I can't see them, nor reach out to them, but I can help out lost souls like you. You're not dead, Theo; which is why you can get back."

"Well how do I do that?" I ask, frantically? "I don't even think the katana is put back together."

"It is. They have it. You need to tell her next time you talk to her." We continue to walk. "Why did you tell her not to help?"

"I was tired of hurting her.."

"She needs you. Actually, they all need your help. Things in Beacon Hills are bad."

"Bad?" Why didn't she tell me. "What's happening? Is Ryder-" "This is bigger than Ryder."

"Then what's happening?"

"What do you know about The Wild Hunt?"

*If i'm being completely honest, i'm uninspired. that's why i can't seem to freaking update this story-or any of my stories for the other matter. i think it's bc i'm going through a breakup-if was a few months ago but i'm still depressed, ya know? and also i'm a sophomore in college and that's stressing me out and making my anxiety bad. idk. idk anymore.*
