Hello, hello! Ok this is the first actual chapter of Morio de Damnationis which translates to Fools of Damnation, incase you were wondering. I don't know if I'm really set on the title so it may change at a later date. This chapter - it's not very long and great quality. Some of you already know, I leave Saturday so I wanted to add something before I left. And yes, as already mentioned in reviews, a lot of the things that happened/will be happening are from/inspired by horror movies. So yeah. The Messengers is gonna be my main one, due to the fact I don't watch a lot of horror movies. But I have seen that one. Yes.

There was darkness surrounding her, but she knew it wasn't just darkness. It was something. Or someone. There was a faint purple glow in the distance. Theresa tried to follow it, but just like a candle, the wind blew it out. "Hello?" Theresa called out. No one replied. Instead she felt cold, clammy hands wrap around her wrists, her legs, her arms and her neck. "No! Let me go!" She screamed as she tried to fight back and shake them off of her. There were two distinct laughs in the distance, though she could only recognize one. Another hand wrapped around her face covering her mouth. She could feel herself slipping away as she lost the air in her lungs.
"AHHHHH!" Theresa screamed as she shot up. Why do I keep having these disturbing dreams? She wiped the sweat off her head and got out of her bed. Ever since...it, everything has been so messed up. I mean, more so then usual. It's only been a month and things are so ridiculous.The gods had given the 7 students a break for two weeks. Their training began normally after those two weeks. Their training seemed to be harder, more intense. Herry was lifting more weights more often, Archie had more obstacles, Atlanta began learning how to catch and fire(A/N: If you don't know what I mean by that either watch The Swan Princess or google it. Or scroll down to the bottom. Your choice.), Neil was starting to lift a few more weights, Odie was working hard on creating new tools and gadgets for the team to use, Jay was studying a lot more, and Theresa was learning how to use her powers in different ways.
Theresa walked down the stairs and went to the kitchen. "Hey Theresa! You okay?" Atlanta asked her. "Oh, yeah. Bad dream, as usual." Theresa replied. She started looking for something to eat. "Okay well, Archie and I are going for a run." Atlanta said. As she walked away she grabbed Archie's arm and pulled him out the door quickly. Theresa sat down and bit into her toast. "What are you guys doing today?" Herry asked. "I'm going to a photoshoot." Neil said. "Don't know." Jay answered Herry. Theresa was about to answer until she her someone whispering to her.
'Mary, where are you?' A voice whispered.
"What?" Theresa asked out loud. Jay, Herry, Odie and Neil looked at her strangely. "Uh, you okay there, Theresa?" Neil asked. "Yup. I am perfectly fine." Theresa said adding a strange emphasis on her words. Herry and Jay eyed her weirdly again where as Neil simply didn't acknowledge it. Theresa stood up and walked into the main area and sat herself on the couch. Odie went down to his room and Herry went to visit Granny. Neil went to his appointment and only Jay and Theresa were left on the main level. Jay sat down beside Theresa. "What are you watching?" He asked her. "Uh...I have no idea actually. It's this show. And, uh..I don't know. But I can tell you that it totally, completely sucks." Theresa said. She handed the remote to Jay and he looked at her shocked. "Uh, there's nothing that I want to watch."
Smooth. Now he knows something's up. If there was anything Theresa never did, it was openly hand over the remote to a guy. He flipped through the channels while constantly looking back over at Theresa who would just smile back. He stopped on some random movie.
'Mary, where are you?' Theresa's eyes widened. She jumped up and looked around the room. "What's wrong?" Jay asked her. "Nothing." Theresa said as she sat back down. 'Mary? Where are you?' Theresa looked around the room. She saw a faint mist by the chairs. She looked closer and observed a little girl in a Victorian era dress. She was holding a small basket of daisies and looking around. 'Mary, where are you?' Theresa was shocked when she noticed the little girl's mouth didn't move.
"Mommy?" The little girl said as she continued to look around. The little girl suddenly disappeared. "Uhh..can we go to the mall or something?" Theresa asked pleadingly. "..Sure." Jay stood up along with Theresa.
Theresa ran up to her room to change into her normal clothes. She walked out of her room and saw another mist getting into focus. Theresa quickly dashed down the stairs. "Theresa, are you sure you're okay?" Jay asked, clearly concerned. "Yeah, sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me. Just a little out of it, that's all." Theresa said in the most believing tone she could muster up. "Come on, let's go." Theresa said as she took her keys out of her purse.
The rest of the day passed quickly and night came. Theresa was standing on the roof top alone. "What the heck was that? Why doesn't anyone else see this?" Theresa asked herself. "See what?" Jay asked as he walked up to her. Theresa's eyes darted around indicating her hard thinking for an excuse. "You know you can tell me anything, right?" He asked; Theresa nodded. "Ok. Come inside. It's cold out." He said as he walked towards the door. "I'll be there in a minute." Theresa told him. She watched him shut the door then turned around and looked out over the city. "What's happening to me?" She asked herself quietly. 'Mary, where are you?' Theresa froze for an instant then turned around. An young woman was walking around frantically. 'Mary, where are you?'
There's two of them. The little girl must be Mary. Theresa thought to herself. 'Mommy?' Theresa looked beside her and noticed the little girl staring at her mother. For a minute, Theresa feared what the little girl's mother would assume she kidnapped the child or something. Instead, Theresa went unnoticed and the woman said, 'Oh Mary! Thank goodness!' Theresa smiled at the little family reunion. 'Mary, be careful!' The woman said in a panicked voice.
'MOMMY!' The little girl screamed. "Oh my God!" Theresa yelled. She listened to the little girl's scream fade into a whisper and the mother's agonized scream, 'MARY!!' Theresa's hand went to her mouth in shock and she turned away. Theresa took deep breaths in attempts to calm herself. She peeked over the side of the brownstone slowly. Nothing. What the..?
"Theresa?" Jay asked worriedly. "Yeah, I'm coming." Theresa said in a very masked tone as she turned to face Jay, noticing that the woman had disappeared as well. The door shut and she looked over the end once more before walking back inside.
'Mary, where are you?'
Okay. Yeah. So I hope that was a decent enough chapter. I've been busy with packing and working so I had to rush it. And so now I'm leaving in like 12 hours so yeah. Uh..Catch and Fire, by the way, is basically. Well what I mean by it is. Artemis, lets say, shoots an arrow at Atlanta while she's turned around, Atlanta turns around and catches it, then she shoots it at a target. But it all happens in a matter of seconds.
Oh this is also a sweet piece of information. I just learned on Thursday that the building I work in is haunted. Pretty interesting hey? Anyways. Incase you didn't get the end of my story('Mary, where are you?'), that's indicating the fact that Mary and her mother are a residual haunting. Meaning, they relive the same scene of their past lives over and over again and don't know that anyone else is there. Just so y'all know.
