What happens in the woods stays in the woods

Chapter 29: Grace

Chapter 29

Grace's POV

Knock.

Knock.

Knock.

"What do you want!?"

I yelled, I was done crying but I was sure my eyes were still puffy.

'Its-uh-er, important."

I don't know who said it, but I highly disagreed.

"I'm sorry, its important."

I clenched my eyes shut and took a deep breath.

I rubbed my eyes.

"Okay."

I stood up, lowered the thorns.

It was really quite, and I lifted my head.

"Listin, I'm sorry about earlier its just-"

I drew in a fast breath.

Surrounding us all were gaint thorns.

The kind you think when your reading Slepping Beauty.

"What happened?"

Jared was the only one I could see.

"Where is everyone else?"

I asked, I was starting to get scared.

What scared me even more was that Jared was just standing their looking at me, the saddest I had seen him in a long time.

"Jared, what the heck is going on?"

Somehow, his face got even sadder.

"A couple days ago, right before we found Kristin and Ashton, I had a dream,"

He spoke, and I was confused.

"My mom was speaking to me, in the dream and she said

'Morgana lives were thorns grow only for pain.'"

He looked up at me, as if curious.

"I think-I think, that it doesn't mean how it sounds."

Kristin appearded out of the side of my vision with her hands raised and glowing blue.

I turned around to face her.

"What-I I don't understand,"

What were they doing?!

"What are you guys doing?"

Kristin came and stood next to Jared.

Their faces changed to anger, and betrayal.

"When Ashton died," Kristin said, sadly yet angrily "you were sad 'in pain' so thorns grew, Grace you couldn't grow anything but thorns."

Jared shook his head angrily.

"We trusted you, Grace!"

Jared spat out my name like it was poison.

"You betrayed us like we were nothing!"

Fire was threatening to come at me, and he had his spear in his hand.

"Brittany's probably dead."

Kristin said quietly.

"But I don't understand!"

I yelled defensively.

Jared erupted with fire and threw his spear on the ground.

"Then let me sum it up for you."

A circle of fire surrounded me.

"You are Morgana."

All went black.
