I watched as the young hazel eyed girl skipped across her back yard. Her mother paid no attention to excellence of a child she had. The young one was a dancer, singer and an incredible little artist. Sadly, her mother thought she was crazy, just as her doctors did.
After years of hiding in the shadows of the living, I am finally able to be seen by this extraordinary young girl.
Autumn Johnson.
Though she does not know what I am, she believes I am good. She believes I am a friend; just part of her 'imagination'.
She doesn't fear me like I had expected, instead, she is amused by me. Just like my young Darcy once was until everyone made her believe I was monster.
I am no monster, but I can be.
"Harry!" her soft voice called as I came out from behind the rose bush, hazel eyes big and full of wonder as I came to her.
"Can we play hide and seek?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
200 years prior to my encounter with the Johnson family of the 19th century, I lived in a rather small home with my beautiful Darcy. She was the only person to ever be amused with my magic. She believed it was used for good, and not evil.
It hurt me when my previous gift often asked me if I was the one who killed her mother, if my magic was black magic, if I am a monster.
I was fine with the locals calling me a witch, but when they brought that innocent child into it, that's when I got angry. I didn't like for Darcy to see me angry, it wasn't very fun to watch, but I didn't like for people to mistreat her just because she was my daughter.
I truly dreaded the Johnson family for taking not only my wife, but my daughter from me as well.
Young Autumn reminds me of Darcy in many ways. I may give her mercy, I may not. Whichever the case, I have come out of hiding and I seek revenge.
