Yes I know its really short. Sorry I haven't been able to upload anything recently, I've been on a school field trip in Washington D.C. It was a whole lot of fun, unfortunatly, there were no computers I could use there. (Also it was my birthday so I was out partying) :) I'll upload the next chapter soon, just to make up for the long wait. Hope everyone that is still reading this likes this chapter! ~Shaina~
My eyes grew wide and my mouth opened in shock when I saw who it was. My heart missed a beat. I thought of nothing, no words came to my lips.
I heard the crunch of leaves as the knife dropped out of my hand and fell to the ground.
I could think of millions of things to say but I could only say one word.
"How?"
I stared at Mark. He didn't look like he had before he died. I could feel the lump in my throat and the tears in my eyes.
"Mark?"
He said nothing. He just stared at me with the same blank expression. I could feel the cold nip at my skin, blow through my hair. The cold didn't touch him.
He stood motionless, unmoving.
The wind picked up a trail of dust. I closed my eyes to keep the dust from getting in to them.
When I opened them again, he was gone.
I leaned against the tree next to me, tears running down my face.
I slipped on the soft mud. I fell to the ground. I sat there sitting, shivering from the cold.
I leaned my head on the tree. I though about Char.
My love.
I thought about how I would never break the curse and win him back.
I thought about how Hattie had stolen my life. Taken my castle, my freedom, Char.
She would marry him. I would become some servant for her, following her every command.
All because of some stone! I pounded my hands on the tree, tore chunks of the bark off the tree.
I heard laughter in the distance. I could feel the echo of it rattle in my mind. It sounded like Hattie's screech. My mind repeated it again and again, till it was permanently indented in my mind.
The forest grew quiet, and I found my self-wishing that I was back in the warm, safe bed, I had slept in this morning.
I yawned. I could feel sleep weighing down my eyelids.
I did the one thing I could think of.
I slept.
