    It was October 2ND year 20XX. I was on my way home from school, when it happened.   
           Hello. My name is Fina Kege. Im 16 years old. I go to st. Maurice Catholic high school. I have straight As. I'm not bullied and i dont bully. Im tall, slim, and beautiful as told by my male classmates alot. My best friend is ally adams. I have just moved closer to school due to new money. Now you know me, let's continue.

    i see ally waving to me “hey fina babe! are you sure you don't wanna ride? You know my mom wont mind! Plus didnt u just move nearby into that nice house by oak street right? It's just around the forest!” I let ally finish. She hates being interrupted when she rambles.
"No its fine I need the exercise and its just thru the forest. And its fall,I'll get some nice aesthetic photos for instafame" I replied. She makes a sad smirk and gives me a hug.

“DON'T LET ANYONE TOUCH YO ASS!” She winks and says “your mine tomorrow! movie night!!” she jumps into her mom’s car as I begin my walk towards the forest. I listen to the sounds of schools letting out and busses passing by,before sticking my music in.

Once i got to the forest it was oddly dark, i take one ear bud out a turn off the music. So I can hear the leaves falling and the rustle of the wind moving the leaves. Just a little dirt road walk, but a beautiful view, I maneuver thru the forest trying not to get my new heeled boots in the mud.
I continue to walk taking a few shots here and there. Vaguely I begin hearing other footsteps. I turn around and look for the source.

“Hello? Anyone there?” I shrug it off and continue.

SNAP!

I turn around and see a shadow or something it seems i walk over towards it .

I reach out , only to quickly turn back to see and old man.
 

“hello young lady!”He said. I had been too scared to reply so I slightly waved. "It’s really dark out here tonight you should've let your friend drive you home"   
 

"I know my ow- wait how...how did y-you" the man just started to cackle and laugh i was terrified. He pounced at me ,I had blacked out. When I had opened them I thought I’d been robbed. I didn't feel any pain. I checked for my purse it was gone. “Dammit and it was so expensive! I'll tell a police officer and hopeful get it back. Then I brushed it off and continued home. Then I realized something when I reached the end of the dirt road, there had been an accident. Apparently a girl had rushed into traffic and was hit by car and had died. Or so I heard the reporter say. I went over to see more and saw my friend's car she was in front of it holding the girl that was hit but then I got chills down my spine when i looked at my own body. I had been hit by the car.
I was dead….

I didn't want to believe it. I rushed home, but as soon as I left the safety of the shade from the forest. The sun burned me. Id returned to the shade. I tried at night to but each time I tried to leave the forest I was burned,like a demon touching holy waters.I was forbid to leave this prison.  I soon gave up and stayed in the forest just giving up on the life I had.it felt as if life times had past listening to the leaves became a past time. I tried praying to god for him to help me. But nothing came. Soon i tried to get him from our worst. And still nothing.

Years have passed it seems. I've watched the seasons change over and over.

“Ill be fine maddie! Calm down ! Its just a forest!” I hear a girl on her cell phone it seems.

“Tch.” I look for her and watch ive seen few people pass through and watch the new fashion. This girl went to my school i can tell cause she had my uniform on. Her purse seemed to have her name on it “hmm...suzy?” She quickly turned around and saw me.

“What do u want old lady?” She replied with snark and attitude.

“Look suzy i'm only trying to help.” she backs away from me and i walk towards her.

“How do you know my name?” I frown and point at her purse..”oh”

“Look this forest is dangerous please unless u want to be like me stay out! Things like this aren't going to last forever” i say while motioning to her purse. But..once i touched her shoulder she passed out. Our souls switched places….”im sorry” i ran out i was so happy i wanted to go home and see ally and hug her and our movies!

its so bright. I ran out,not paying attention. Im ran over it hurt so much all the pain i black out.

I died again.
