The Curse

In two different worlds, six people each make the biggest mistakes of their lives.

 Thea was in the woods when it happened. She walked along the path quietly, unaware of what she was walking towards. Her short, blue black hair had been pulled into a tight bun, and her forest green eyes had light bags under them. A copy of a spell book she borrowed from a witch was in her bag, having not been touched since she left her house. She noticed a young woman in the path, hunched over something she couldn’t quite see.

“Um, excuse me, miss? Are you lost?” She asked, but received no reply.

 Thea carefully walked towards her, trying to get a glimpse of what she was hunched over. She gasped as she saw a book full of forbidden spells and runes. She backed away as the young woman snapped her head to look at Thea.

 Thea turned around and ran, almost dropping her bag along the way. She doesn’t hear footsteps behind her, only a short strings of words.

“Maledicite sors.”

 Soon, she’s falling to the ground. The young woman walks in her field on vision and sits on her knees. She takes Thea’s face in her hands and gives her a soft smile, but Thea knows it’s fake.

“Sleep, when you wake your journey will begin.” The woman said in a soothing voice, and Thea found her body listening to her.

 Thea tried to stay awake, but ended up succumbing to the darkness.

 Hazel was at the park with her friends, it was around midnight. They were all laughing as her friend, Carol, who licked the ground, as the result of a dare.

“Okay, okay!! It wasn’t even that bad!!” Carol giggles, standing up to join her friends.

“You don’t know who or what has stepped on that!!” Hazel’s other friend, Myke, held his hand up to his mouth in an attempt to muffle his laughs.

“Fine, fine! Okay, Hazel, truth or dare?” Carol asks, causing her friends to look at her.

“You know me, dare.” Hazel answers, sending a smirk to her friends.

“Hm, what to dare you? Ooh!! I got it!!” Carol reached into her purse and pulled out an old looking piece of paper. “I dare you to read something off this page, and see if something magical happens!!”

“Really, Carol? You and I both know that magic doesn’t exist. Give it here.” Hazel snatched the piece of paper out of Carol’s hand.

 Her eyes scanned the page, before landing on a very interesting looking one.

“Maledicite sors? What’s that me-” Her voice was cut off as the world started spinning.

 Her friends shouts filled the air, and she could barely make out the words ‘call 911’. Her body fell onto Carol, who held her as the others ran for help. Carol’s hand pet Hazel’s chocolate colored hair, and Hazel’s hazel eyes were frantically darting around as she tried to stay awake.

“It’s okay Hazel, I knew you would choose that one. Everything is fine, just sleep.” Carol whispers soothingly, forcing Hazel to listen.

 Her eyes closed as she was surrounded by darkness.

 Wes and Hale were walking through their town together. Their parents didn’t want them to go alone, since a wood nymph a little younger than them went missing a couple days ago. Hale saw a young lady, and his attention was immediately drawn to her neck, or rather the amulet on her neck.
