Chapter. Cruel Autumn Leafs
Sarah Black Pov -
Holding Henry's hand we ran threw the woods.
"Sar-"
"Shhh, hurry Henry." His pace slowed as he cried.
They were on our tales. I didn't want to hide, or they'll kill us.
"My- my dad-"
"I know Henry, I'm sorry but you are slowing us down. Come on." I pulled him more.
"No." He cried loud, then snatched his hand from mine, dropping completely to the ground.
I hunched over, glanced back towards the beach then to him. "Henry, I will not die by the hands of some cowards in a mask. Your dad did not risk his life for us to surrender. Now, please, get your ass up and run." I say and heard the sound of leafs being crushed.
"Get up, get up, get up." I pulled at him and he slipped, falling back to the ground crying.
"Sarah Black," the masked man spoke, I didn't see his friend.
"Who the hell are you?" I say.
"Where's big brother, Sarah?"
"Which one?" I say.
"Ahh, well I guess I'll have to kill them all." He says.
Suddenly hear a growl, and before my eyes two wolves went for his ribs, then neck. I flinched at both the sound and sight. Henry jumped to his feet and hugged me, shaking.
I stumbled, but didn't fall.
Another wolf, and tall man, I recognize as Hazel parents were Mom and Dad's back up. A roar from the front of the beach made Mrs. Haylie look away, distracting her.
"Avada Kedavra!" Another cloaked mask person spoke, from the opposite side of Haylie, pointing a black-brown stick at her.
Just like what happened to my Uncle Seth, Hazel's mom body seized quickly as if she was electrocuted, then she dropped.
"NO." Hazel's father yelled, then super sped to the masked man and slammed him against a tree.
"Fipendo." Spoke, the masked woman and there was a huge swoosh, sending mom and dad across the trees.
"Avada Kedavra." She turns to say as Hazel's dad suddenly stopped hitting the masked man.
"No." I say, and suddenly a gush of heated wind from my hands it seems, blew the cloaked figure from the shadows, across the trees.
"Holy...shi-"
"Sarah?" Henry said wide eyed, and frozen.
"Don't ask. I don't know. Let's go." I grabbed him and pulled him into another run.
My legs were heavy, Henry started running well on his own and we were almost at the house, i can tell by the dirt road seeming darker as more cars drive this way.
I can't believe both of Hazel's parents are dead. What is happening? Who are those people? And what was that?
That couldn't have been me that sent that chick flying, from her voice and petty body shape.
Yet, where could that wind come from? it had to have been someone or something else.
"Sarah-"
"We're almost there. Shut up, and run."
Suddenly we heard a loud howl and I knew it was, Embry.
I wanted to scream, help; but I knew we would be found by the wrong person.
"Oof." Henry fell again and I rushed back to him." He was sweating, crying and dirty. "I...I.. should've. ..stayed home... I..-"
"Henry, stop. We don't have time for this, please get up or we're going to die."
"Fipendo."
Feeling a push, lifting me off the ground. I held up my arms to cover my face. The wind took my voice, I had no air to scream as I hit the dirt and grass fast, with a thud.
I cough out a leaf, and moaned rolling over on my back.
The sky was still grey.
Suddenly, the smaller sized masked, person I sense stood over me, raised her stick to me and I wondered how the heck she could harm anyone with a thing like that. It was the size of a flute.
"Avada-
I screamed, lifting my hands for protection and shutting my eyes.
A ripping sound startled me, I jumped, opening my eyes just in time to see a little mix color; black and light gray wolf. He knocked the cloaked masked person down, knocking her stick from her hand and the wolf barked. I didn't even know he even still shift.
It protected me from the view of the cloaked masked, who quickly stood back up.
I crawled, to grab the stick and got to my feet.
"Did not expect that." The cloaked masked sicko say to Henry, who barked another warning.
"Henry, let's go." I say.
"Drop my wand." She says, and I narrowed my eyes.
Some nerve she has.
"You are trying to kill me."
Her and her friend killed Uncle Seth, and Hazel's parents. I didn't have to listen to her.
I wish i could kill her.
Feeling my blood in my veins push heat, I thought back on what she just did to my parents. She should burn for that.
Before I can think if what she even said back there, she was screaming in pain.
I flinched confused.
Falling to the forest floor, she grabbed at her body like she was itching.
Henry whimpered, then looked back at me. Like 'tell me what happening' I could have shrugged to say I didn't know what was going on.
Out of nowhere a flash of green-black-light and a rushing noise. the lady was gone, with nothing but grass and dirt where she was.. Henry shifted back so fast we both looked at each other.
"Witchcraft." We stay at the same time and I instantly thought about "Hocus Pocus'. A very old movie that cable TV always replays during Halloween time.
"Sarah?" Henry says looking behind me to Embry, in his
world form. He instantly came to me and I threw my
arms around him fast. I knew he would be here soon.
"Where were you?" I breathed. He whimpered,
"Mom and Dad... and Uncle Seth are still back there. We have to go back." I say and he, then bowed so I could climb onto him. I did so quickly and look to help Henry up but he was back in his wolf form.
Embry started running back to the way we came, and I sunk lower into his fur as he bounced threw the trees.
I wondered what was going on and if Henry and Embry were talking telepathically like wolves in a pack do. We passed the spot where mom and dad had flew.
Trees were up rooted, others branches bent weirdly.
There had to have been horrible injuries of all the other kids who were at the Carnival.
Uncle Quil and Sam stood with Levi and uncle Paul who was in his wolf form. They had both Hazel's parents bodies covered.
Before I knew it, we were back to were Uncle Seth laid.
Grandma Sue and her husband Charlie were standing near Mom.
Dad was in his wolf form but mom was on the ground, with a blanket wrapped around her. With Uncle Seth in her arms, not moving.
I looked to Henry who ran away, towards First Beach.
"Wait, Henry." I say and Dad follows behind him to the beach. I climb off of Embry.
"His mother is being rushed to the hospital. She fell and hit head." Caleb says to me.
I opened my mouth to say something, but Mom continued crying. Kneeling down to her, I wrapped my arms around her tight. She laid her head on my shoulder and we heard a screeching howl.
Mom screamed so loud, it didn't even scare me. Next thing I knew, Grandpa Billy was behind us, he lowered himself to his knees and wrapped his arms around us.
Mom silently, cried and I tried my best to hold back tears. I know I had to be strong for her. Grandpa tighten his arms around mom and I, and the thought hit me... Did the wolves see what I did in Henry's mind? Did he think something? Will they care that it could be possible? How will Henry get through this? How much will everything change? Will mom get depressed? Will everyone treat me differently once Henry tells them what I did? Is it possible that I can do the sorcery too?
This didn't seem real, none of it.
