Thorn (Discontinued)

Chapter 13

Gunshots echoed throughout the manor. I walked downstairs but in a trance. I clung to the railing and continued to walk downstairs, though I didn't feel scared at all. The doors to the parlor were opened when I reached the floor. I stumbled toward the door trying to be as careful as I could be. I put my back against the door and stopped to breathe. I prepared myself for anything that might be behind me. I peered my head inside looking for anything abnormal. Nothing, there was nothing to be seen. I walked into the room clinging onto the furniture to keep me from falling. I stumbled around the room still looking for something that wasn't there. I stumbled toward the other door at the end of the room. I walked to toward it and put my back to the door. I placed my hand on the knob and turned it slowly.

I closed my eyes and went inside. Darkness was all to be seen, it were as it were a void of nothing. I could see the doors fade as I fell down, deeper and deeper.

I opened my eyes gasping for air. The dreams, they were haunting me again. I sat straight up in my bed and eyed the room looking for anything strange. I couldn't see anything, no notes from Meredith either. I forgot about her for a second. I tried to distract myself from thinking about it all day.

I wondered around in the garden as the clouds filled the sky with grey. I stood smelling the dying roses in the garden. Their color faded as the sky grew darker. I drew myself away a from the roses and continued to walk. As I walked, I was struck by a particular smell that filled the garden. I looked around and noticed a still smoking cigarette in between the cobblestones. It was her, it had to be,

Meredith.

I looked around nervously, hoping I wouldn't have to see her. All I saw the large garden and no one to be seen except for myself. I continued with my walk around the garden and brushed the thought of her off.

"Oh, hiding from our problems again aren't we?" Her voice echoed in my ears.

I turned, to look again for her, but again nothing was to be seen.

I felt I couldn't get away from her no matter what I did. She, was powerful and this gift, almost makes me feel I'm connected to her. This gift she gave me seems as it's a way for her to get inside my head. The thunder crashed echoing throughout the forest. The clouds opened up letting the rain fall to the ground. I hurried to the doors of the manor and rushed inside. I walked into the foyer and started to dry off.

"Hate me much?"

I turned to see Meredith standing on the landing on the staircase. "Thought I would just...go away forever?"

I was lost for words and stood there backing up toward the door, as she started walking toward me.

"You selfish girl, I was just wanted to help you, but you refuse." she then took out a cigaret and lit it." She stood in front of me and leaned to me.

She whispered to me "how I envy you." she flicked her cigaret at me and let herself out. I threw open the doors and yelled "What are you?"

She stopped in her tracks and stood in the pouring rain. "A force not to be reckoned with" she sarcastically said. Then she continued to walk away fading slowly into the rain. I stood on the front steps, staring into the nothingness of which she vanished.

"A force not to be reckoned with" what did that mean to me? I thought of all the horrible things that might possibly happen now. I wondered if she would ever tell me "what" she was, perhaps I would never no, she would be another wonder of the world, never to be known.

A few days had now passed and the rain faded away bringing the sun and the white clouds back. I sat at my desk in my bedroom reading one of the many books from the library.

"Ms.Rosette, a letter has been sent to you" came from the other side of the door. I walked to the door and revived the letter form the maid.

"There was name or anything on it, or nothing I could see. I had asked who may have sent it but there was no answer."

She then left shutting the door behind her. I sat back down at the desk and opened the letter, no name or anything was to be seen. The letter read "Rosette, I want to talk to you again, please meet me at the cliffside at nightfall -Vincent"

I dropped the letter and backed away from it. Vincent, my fiancé or should I say was. Why now? Why would he want to see me now, I...I ruined him almost, why would he want me now.

A thought lingered in my head telling me this was her doing, but of course that was only a thought or so I think.
