Haunted

Chapter 6

I stare at Chris speechless. Another innocent person dead. Ugh why did this keep happening?

Chris stares into my eyes,"Did you kill her?"

My jaw drops,"NO!!! I'm not a killer Chris!" I glare at him and walk toward the door.

"Excuse me but I have a date to attend."

I walk out on my porch but stop when he says-

"I know what you are."

I turn around to face him, "I have no idea what your talking about."

He chuckles,"yeah you do."

I look up at him angrily. Damn, why did I have to be so short?

He whispers,"Meet me after your date...in the woods near your house."

"And if i dont?"

He comes closer to my face,"Then its your loss."

With that, he walks out of my house and disappears into the darkness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wanted to enjoy my date with Alex, but I couldnt stop thinking about Chris. Should i meet him or not? While Alex talks about who knows what, I think about someone else. I know its wrong but I couldnt help myself. What made it worse is that Chris is extremley handsome. But he was a bad boy. He couldnt possible care about anyone but himself.

"Hello? Esther you there?"

I snap out of my trance,"Oh sorry Alex!"

He frowns,"Are you okay?"

I nod,"Yea...I'm just tired."

He smiles sadly,"You should go home and get some rest."

I yawn and nod,"I guess so."

"Want me to take you home?"

I shake my head,"No its okay. I'll be fine."

I quickly finish my salad then I leave the restaurant. I think of a spell that could get me home faster.

I decide to run home since I had yet not learned to fly. I run down the street avoiding people and signs. But suddenly I start to run faster.So fast everything around me blurred. The wind blowing my hair back and hitting my face, I focus on returning home until suddenly I slam into a door.I hit the door so hard that I fall back onto my butt.

"Fuck!" I say loudly.

Then I hear a laugh," That was fast."

I stand up quickly and look around. Chris stands on my porch eating an apple. He smirks as I get up.

"I thought you said to meet you in the woods?"

"I thought you wouldnt come, but I guess I was wrong." He takes another bite of his apple.

I sigh,"Well, why did you want me to meet you?"

He tosses his unfinished apple to the side," Follow me."

He walks into the woods. I force myself to follow him. What if he is dangerous? What if he was a demon in disguise?

He leads me deep into the woods. I can hear the wind whistling quietly through the trees and the night rodents running around. It was a full moon tonight and the sky was clear enough to see all the stars. A chill goes through my body, where is he taking me?

We walk over to a rock. It was a huge rock surrounded by bushes and spider webs.

I frown,"Thats it? You take me to a rock? What are we gonna do here? Climb?"
