A scream echoed, filling the quiet night with fear. Mother Matthews ran down the hall towards the scream.

“What, what? Is everything okay?”

“No! She had another nightmare.” a girl complained.

Mother Matthews sighed and walked to the restroom. Cora locked herself inside.

“Cora, please open the door.”

“No! it might come get me.”

“Who?”

“The dark figures!”

“Honey, those things don’t exist”

“Yeah, I saw it!”

Mother Matthews let out a sigh. “You can’t stay in there forever.”

“Yes I can! As long as the light stays on.”

“Hmm, how about I put a night light by your bed?”

The bathroom doorknob started to move. The door opened revealing a small three year old Cora.

“Can you?”
 
 
 
Just as the haunting memories of these dark figures disappeared, they came back just as quickly. Cora got over this when she was five, and five years later her friends kept the dark figures away. Now that she is alone, no one can help her now.
 
 
The wind blew, a dark figure traveled with the wind. The figure landed by a window, its yellow eyes shifting to the right. Inside he examined a girl in her bed. She lay with blood splattered on her clothes.

The figure sighed. “So that’s her,”

The figure looked inside again. This time a boy and girl entered the room, they seemed worried about the girl. The figure took a closer look at the girl who lay on the bed, his yellow eyes gleaming. The figure shook his head, he jumped with the wind, disappearing.

 
______________
 
 
“Ugh,” Cora moaned. She opened her eyes to a bright room.

“How did I get here?”

Cora sat up, her hand ached. She looked down at her blood stained clothes.

“What a way to start my new life.” Cora said.

Hey Guys!

Sorry it took so long for me to write you, I bet you guys are mad at me. Anyway I been okay, my first day was pretty…embarrassing. But after the first week its going really good. I got a job at a restaurant with my new friend, his name is Max. He’s sort of strange, but who isn’t? Oh and the weirdest thing happen. You know the bracelet Bell gave me, well it disappeared! One day I’m wearing it and the next day its gone! I have this feeling someone is watching me, maybe whoever it is they took it? I don’t know, I been freaking out lately. Maybe I’m still getting use to living on my own. Today I’m planning to visit my parents, they’re buried at the local cemetery. This will be my first time actually, sort of meeting them. I was thinking after I was done visiting them I look for their house, the house I lived in before. Like I remember it, but it’ll be nice to look at it. So next time I promise to write sooner, if I don’t write within a week something is wrong and come looking for me. XD

♥ Cora
 
 

 
 
The morning light made its way through pale pink curtains. Cora slept peacefully in her bed. Her mind was blank, nothing but sleep. Then something started to interrupt this peaceful state.

“Gah!” Cora opened her eyes wide and sat up. “Who is knocking!?”

Cora threw her covers off and rolled out of the bed. She dragged her feet down the hall, to the door. Cora blinked a couple times to gain focus, she looked through the peep hole on the door. Max.

“Max we don’t work today!” Cora shouted.

“I know, just open the door!”

Cora sighed and opened the door. Max stood cheerful, while Cora looked at him with a drowsy face.

“So what do you want?”

“Well I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today?”

Cora suddenly felt trapped. “I, have plans today.”, she stuttered.

“Aw come one Cora! The only time we ever hang out is at work. Don’t you want to be friends outside of work?”

“I do, its just I was planning to see my parents today.”

Max’s frustration simmered down. He knew what happen to Cora’s parents.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

“It’s okay, I should of told you.”

Both stayed quiet for a moment. “But I won’t be out all day,”

Max’s face lit up, “Really?”

“Yeah, we can hang out after I’m done.”

“Promise?”

“Yes,”

“Pinky promise?” Max held out his arm and put his pinky finger up.

Cora rolled her eyes. “Yes, pinky promise.”

Max laughed. “Okay I’ll see you later then!”

“For sure! I’ll go by your place when I’m done.”

Max nodded and walked away. Cora smiled and closed the door.

It was mid-day and Cora was dressed and ready to visit her parents. On the outside she seemed calmed, but on the inside she was nervous! Something inside was screaming and left a mark of guilt.

Cora left her apartment with a side backpack that hung off her shoulder and John’s knife in her back pocket. She locked her door and walked towards the exit of the apartments.

Cora walked down the crowded streets of Naji.
 
“I should of listened,”

“I will do anything to protect my family,”

“Naji, the safe place. That‘s where I‘ll be.”
 
Flashbacks of her father’s words ran through Cora’s mind. The last entry he wrote was a promise to save his family.

Cora reached the local cemetery at the edge of town. The sun was bright and Cora held flowers she bought on the way.

“Hey guys look!” Bell shouted.

Asona and John looked up at bell, “What?”

“Cora sent us a letter!”

“Finally! Took her long enough.”

The three friends gathered and opened the letter. Each read it silently, and laughed at some parts.

“We should go visit her!” Asona shouted when she was done.

“Yeah right, Mother Matthews won’t let us go.” Bell said.

“Unless we…sneak out,” John said.

“What!? That sounds like something Bell would say.” Asona said.

“I think we switched brains or something.” Bell said.

John glared at the girls. “Come on! Lets just go and come back the same day. No one will know.”

“No, we need to think of a plan. A smart plan.” Bell said.

“Fine, you guys think of one while I sleep.”

Asona and Bell sighed. “No way! You’re going to help or you’re not going!”

John sat up, “Okay, okay I’ll help!”

The girls laughed.

Cora walked down a stone path. On both sides of Cora were rows and rows of headstones. She had no idea where her parents were. Cora sighed and walked to her right. She past names, but not the ones she is looking.

After looking at over a dozen names on headstones, Cora started to wonder how they died. Was it because of murder, sickness, suicide? She also started to think if they’re in a better place, and if everything is forgiven of the past.

Cora shook her head to get the thought out. She focused on finding her parents. More and more names, rows and rows pasted and still nothing. Cora’s eyes started to water, she felt like giving up.

“You said you would be here.”

Cora dropped the flowers she held. They bounced lightly on the ground. As tears streamed down Cora’s face, the ground she stood on began to move.

“Whoa!” Cora looked down, “I don’t want to bring the dead back this way.”

Her crying stopped, Cora swung her backpack and looked inside it. She got out a map, a red circle marked where her parents lived. Cora sat down on the grass, she focused all her energy on that certain location.

Cora felt a wind, her eyes still closed. The warmth of the sun disappeared, and a cold chill replaced it. Cora opened her eyes, a tear escaping. She still sat, but now in front of a small abandon house.
Cora opened her mouth like to speak, but she didn’t. She stood up slowly, trying to make herself believe this was real. Cora turned to see her surroundings. The tree branches above blocked the sun.

Cora blinked, she walked towards the house.
