beautiful beings

chapter one

It's been six months since macon had died but it felt like it was yesterday . Lena and I hadn't spoken a word in I don't know how long , I couldn't even think of talking I would have just cried. The school year had ended and all I could think about was how Lena could have felt, I could see the way she felt. The sky stayed grey for about eight weeks and every day it rained over raven wood manor. The way I felt prevented me to do any thing. I couldn't eat , sleep , or even go out of my room, the first time I did go out of my room I was crying.
"What's wrong Ethan?"
"It should have been me."
"What do you mean?"
"Macon, I don't know why but I feel like I should have been the one to die not him not like that."
   Amma had tears in her eyes too I knew that she was as sad as I was about the subject.
"No son it wasn't your fault don't think like that it wasn't anyone's fault and he would have died anyway."
"What ,no Lena chose to go dark to try and save macon her eyes were golden like all the other dark casters."
"Well I don't know maybe you should go over there to find out huh it would be a good excuse to go see her ."
         I froze at the mention of Ravenwood manor . I felt the same way I felt when I thought it was haunted. I told Amma that I was going so I called link because I didn't feel like driving my moms old dusty car it just would have made me more emotional than I already was. When link pulled up in the old beater it looked nicer than usual and so I had to ask why.
"Hey what's up with the car it looks good?"
"I know right I went to bed last night and when I woke up it was like this I was surprised myself. and look even the dent from my old motorcycle accident is gone!"
  "That's cool man congrats."
"Thanks so where we heading?"
"To Lena's I need to see her I haven't seen her since her uncles funeral."
"Oh sorry man that must have sucked i'm sorry for your loss."
It's ok ."
He knew it wasn't but he just played along. When he dropped me off at the mansion I got chills it was as bad as the day I first got there. When I opened the now rusted gate it was easier to see the house it was a lot bigger than when I saw it the first time. I could see Lena's light shining out of her window. I walked up to the door and the first thing I did was knock.
