Deadly Magic

Test No. 1

I run. I hit the tree line and go deeper into the wood. Finally I burst out of the other side. I stop. It's the exact SAME CLEARING!

I scream, in frustration, and turn around. I go back and make sure I head in a straight line. It's the clearing again. I sit down. There's no bed but I'm tired. I lay down on the hard earth and imagine Daemon's bed underneath me.

I suddenly feel it under me and I smile. It worked. To keep myself from thinking of how empty the bed feels, I close my eyes and drift off.

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

I wake up to a man's face staring at me. I gasp and bolt up. We bump heads. I quickly back up against the head board. “Wh-who are you? Are you the visitor they were talking about?”

“Uh, I don't know who ‘they’ are, but I guess so.”

“Well, I guess we should get acquainted that shouldn't hurt anything. Hi my name's Ella.” I put my hands out towards him for a handshake.

He takes it. “My name's Malum. Let me just say you are as hot as the sun. You giving me third degree burns over here.”

“Uhhh, thanks…but don't do that anymore, I have a boyfriend and we're getting married soon so…uh…yeah.” I look away. Wow, that was so freaking awkward.

“Who is he? I might know him. I might be able to tell you some things about him that would turn you off in 3 seconds.”

“You know him. Everybody knows him. He's your prince, our king.”

“Oh, that dude. There's nothing to really tell you about him. Except that he probably doesn't do you as good as I could.”

“What! I-that-that is none of your business!” I run away. I'm so flustered. I just wanna scream. They thought that I would cheat on Daemon. I could destroy this whole place.

I come up short. I just had an idea. I know Daemon has a phone. I know his number. If making a bed took almost no strain at all, then how hard could making a phone be. I lie down in the middle of the wood.

I think of the square shape of a phone, all of a phone's contents and I feel the heaviness of a phone in my hand. It was effortless.

I enter Daemons number and tru to call him. “Hello? Who is this?” It's Daemon's beautiful voice.

“Daemon,” I breath out.

“Ella! Is that you?”

“Yeah.”

“Where are you?”

“I don't know. I just wanted to heart your voce again.” I start to cry.

“Ella, are you okay? Are you hurt?” I'm about to respond when I hear someone come up behind me. I turn. It's Malum.

“Oh no you don't,” he growls at me and strikes me across the face. I cry out and drop the phone. I hear Daemon screaming things through the phone. I reach ford the phone but Malum not only kicks it away but he steps on my fingers. I scream and I hear snaps and cracks and more pain so much more than before. I continue to scream and I can't hear anything anymore. Not me, or Malum, or Daemon.

The last thing I see is Malum picking up the phone and pressing end. I black out.
