Cursed Children.

What... is... HAPPENING!!!??

                                                                                        ~Selena~

I didn't know what happened to Aerith, I only know that there was a brown wolf, people hanging, and Aerith being unresponsive. Here's how it all went down. We arrive at the village, everything seems ok, then Aerith, that's right Aerith finds the dead villagers. She just stares at them as if they were nice. Of course not wanting to look again I stare to the village and I see it, more terrifying than the people who were dead, more terrifying than the black armoured soldiers. I attempt getting their attention.

"Guys, guys, guys," I desperately try to stay calm. I glance at the rest of them, they aren't paying attention. I look at Aerith, she isn't even there, she turned into one of the most talkative, to unresponsive. That's when we heard it, an ear splitting growl. I turn back towards the wolf. It was a plain simple brown wolf, but that doesn't stop it from eating us. I grab Nala's hand and hand her to Michael. I look at Jackson.

"Aerith come on! Aerith, Aerith!" Jackson is constantly trying to get her out of her trance, it is almost impossible, shes just staring at the wolf.

"Jackson, find a way to get Aerith out of her trance, meet us in the clearing we were at previously,"

"Alright Selena, I'll get her there soon enough," Michael, Nala, and I run through the woods like savage beasts. I constantly kept running into twigs. By the time we got to the clearing I was covered in leaves, dirt, and a mixture of mud and blood from the sharp branches.

"Selena holy cow, if I hadn't seen what we did back there then I'd assume you'd be a monster," Michael snarked.

"Wow Michael that is the first time you have talked in, well" there is an awkward pause, "forever," Nala surprisingly says.

"That's because he only does it when it is in front of me, not joking he's like a shark, when he has his prey he only chases after it," its true Michael has only ever talked in front of me, maybe our parents knew each other maybe he was just shy around other people but around me he was all sorts of crazy, plus he jokes, that's right all he ever says is a joke. Plus its like the others don't matter he just has to torture me!

"Hey now thats not true Jackson and I talk all the time," Michael states defensively, "plus you are not worthy of my jokes," he bursts out laughing. I roll my eyes at him. I can't believe him, making a joke like that when we have no clue what's happening with our friends. I sit down and start peeling stuff out of my hair, twigs, mud, branches. I brush off my right leg and have to shift to get all the stuff on all my left leg. That's when I notice something, it's a beautiful carving of waves, or wind, or I don't actually know what it is. I reach down and trace over the lines. It begins to glow a golden color.

"Woah," I gasp as half of it changes to a bluish color. Nala and Michael both look at me.

"What is so amazing about a log?" Michael asks sarcastically, Nala starts laughing. I ignore both of them and stare at the glowing shape. I move towards it and place my hand, it stops glowing. Then something hits my head and bounces into my lap. In my lap there sits a necklace, golden chain, it has a carving of the same glowing shape as the log that is half gold half silver, it's so beautiful. I put the necklace on. I love it already.

I'm just about to get up and show my friends when I hear something moving behind me, I spin around, it's another wolf, except this time there was more then one and they weren't  all normal sized. I move my hand to grab my knife but then the one in front growls. I drop it and back towards Michael and Nala. Wolves, I don't get it did my friends and I do something wrong? A hand grabs mine from behind, it's Nala. I'm practically breaking her hand. The wolves start moving towards us, we back up. My head starts pounding, I hear a voice saying my name,the hand lets mine go, and I let it, the head wolf is the only one moving now, all the rest have disappeared, I can't take my eyes off of it. The wolf is a couple feet away from me. It begins to grow. Then it lights up, all different colors, blue, green, yellow, red, all of them. The wolf looks at me, but not with the hunger it did a moment ago. It looked at me as if it needed help, as if it was trapped. I raised my hand to touch its head. Before it got there the wolf disappeared. I'm left wondering what I will do now, I attempt to move but can't. I look down and see mud, I don't get the joke. I look all around me and see that I'm not in the clearing anymore. There are no trees, no plants, no nothing. Just water, and a lot of it!

I struggle to get out. I push and pull at the mud trying my hardest to get myself free, but nothing works. I start to give up and lie down. If I am going to die it would be comfortable. Then I hear a strange voice, Selena u gave up quickly my dear, but do you really think you will die? Surely you understand that you control the water, don't let it push you around, it listens to you so instruct it! 

Of course me being me I just lay there looking completely confused on what this thing is telling me. 

The necklace, think about the water moving rapidly around you and then touch it. So I do as I'm told.  Suddenly out of nowhere the water starts turning, it goes faster and faster, I'm spinning around and around. The water pulls me out of the sticky ground. I fly up to the surface in a beautiful spray of water. It feels like I'm flying. The water carries me down to the ground and I end up safe. But there is a problem, I don't know where this safe is. And of course my first typical questions would be, Where am I? Where are my friends? But no I had to ask myself. What the hell just happened.

I look around it's so beautiful here, my mind immediately becomes empty of all questions and I just sit there admiring how peaceful and pretty it is. Not a care in the World. In fact I'm suprised to say but I actually think this is better then having my friends.
