"It sounds like a good thing" She paused. "Why do you say that?" "It's like a new beginning. A fresh start. A chance to get away from things you rather not relive. You know what I mean?" I sighed. My thoughts running wild with things I had long thought I had buried deep down. I pressed my lips together. Trying to think of a subject changer. Before she asked about something I rather not answer. The wind stopped howling. A nearby cricket paused in its chirping sound. The chatter that once filled the yard was now a distant sound. Nothing but dead silence filling the atmosphere around us. The night air turning cold and bitter brushed against with lingering creepy touch. Lili's head titled to the side. Her eyes locking with mine. They turned a dark amethyst. I watched as the life that had just filled them earlier slowly leak from them. Right before my eyes. Her absent gaze snatched at my mine locking me in a deadly grip. It was eerie. The hairs on the back of my neck stood attention. I shivered. "You should forget about that fresh start, Alaya. Your past is a lot more present than you think." A chill shot down my spine as she finished her words. I watched her wide eyed as her eyes flashed a bright purple. Almost like the light from lightning bolt of a thunder cloud struck right in the middle of her irises. She stared in to my eyes as if she could see things I couldn't. Understand things that many could never.
