I ascended the staircase to the second story, and walked down the hall till I reached my rooms. As soon as I entered I sighed and shook my head. What an eventful day. The thought pierced my mind as I remembered what had happened, and was shocked that it was only one day, and that it was still very early. The memory in the garden glided past my eyes and I could feel myself blush as I remembered Dicken's kiss. I lifted a hand and placed it thoughtfully on my cheek, exhaling deeply I realized I was holding my breath.
Dicken, I didn't know he loved me in that way. I thought as I walked to my closet and opened it, taking out a nightgown. I looked out my window and paused, it was much to soon to change and go to sleep I hadn't even had dinner yet. It was then that I noticed my stomach grumbling out of hunger. I sighed and placed my nightgown on the bed.
Just then, two quick knocks sounded at my door. "Come in." I called loudly, and the doorknob turned and in walked Dicken.
For a few moments it was quiet and awkward until my stomach grumbled again. I quickly wrapped my arms around my stomach and giggled nervously. "Dicken? I'm sorry to ask this of you, but could you by any chance bring me some food?"
Dicken grinned and replied with a chuckle. "Of course, Miss Mary."
"Oh! And bring a bowl to the kitchen for Jasper and Evangeline, Jasper had cut his hand and they might need another bowl." I added, "If that's too much to ask of you, I'll do it myself!"
Dicken only held up his hand and said, "I'll do it, don't worry."
Then he left.
I smiled at myself, it was easier to talk to him than I had thought it would be. I grinned widely and sat down at the window, looking out at the grounds. Perhaps after I had some dinner I would go visit Colin again, Dicken would come of course. Despite what happened between us this afternoon, he promised he would take me to see Colin whenever I wanted to, so long as Colin was fit to be seen.
Suddenly, a sound like someone wailing loudly broke the silence. I stiffened and realized it was only the wind, I relaxed but only slightly. The nervousness was gripping at my gut, and I was no longer hungry. It made me listen closer to all sounds around me, and my eyes were darting back and forth searching for something that I didn't know.
Another giant gust of wind blew across the moor, and the window burst open. Screaming could be heard, and I suddenly realized that I was the one screaming. I shut my mouth and bit my lip, calming myself I took deep breaths through my nose.
The wind still blew when I headed for the window, attempting to close it, but that was when I saw it or him. Someone or something was running across the lawn, he or it was headed for the garden, or maybe the forest behind the garden. Whatever it was, it was dark and big, and ran incredibly fast. So fast, that a few seconds after I saw it, it had disappeared into the darkness. A chill ran through me, and I felt myself grow faint. Footsteps pounded in my ears, and the door screeched loudly as Dicken came running in. I lost myself then, and fainted. I could feel the wind wiping around me, as I fell forward. I was only partially aware of what was happening, all I could feel was the wind, and all I heard was Dicken calling my name, over and over again.

I burst into Mary's room after I heard her scream, fearing the worse, which was the one who did those terrible things to Colin was now after Mary, I ran so fast I flew up the stairs. When I opened the door and saw Mary leaning out the window, I froze.
"Mary?" I whispered, not sure if she could hear me, but I couldn't seem to make my voice louder. Even so, she looked back at me. I gasped; the look in her eyes were so blank and scared. "Mary?" My frantic voice called her again. I held out my hand, but a giant gust of wind blew and she began to sway.
"Mary!" I yelled as her body lurched forward, and she fell out the window. I ran across the room in a split second and reached out for her flailing body, she fell too fast. The wind was blowing her down. Without thinking I ran from the room and jumped down the stairs, tripping over my legs as they buckled under me from the force of the impact. I ran outside and jumped over bushed and small fences to reach under Mary's window. I prayed to God that I would make it on time to save her, to catch her.
I rounded the last corner, and the smell hit me like an explosion in my nose. It was terrible and reeked of dirty copper, and I knew it was blood. The tears flowed, and I let loose. Crying my head off I walked forward, but gasped at what I saw.
Jasper held Mary in his arms, not a scratch on her body, but Jasper was different.
His eyes were bright and glowing red, his skin was pale and dull, and it looked like he was glowing. I couldn't understand it, so I asked him.
"Jasper? What happened to you?"
He looked up at me and ignored my question, instead he placed Mary on the gravel and walked away. To my surprise, Mary was awake, and as Jasper walked away Mary held her arm out and begged him to come back to her.
I shook the terrible thoughts away, and focused on the fact that Mary was still alive.
