"It's okay, they're gone now."

~oOo~

My hands stopped glowing, but they were still shaking as I pulled them down slowly.

A woman around my mother's age kneeled next to me.

I shied away in fear that she would hurt me too.

"No, no, hold on, it's alright. I won't hurt you."

I shook my head, with tears in my eyes.

"I promise. You're safe here. See, my house is up the road."

I looked up the dark and empty street to see a mansion's lights.

I looked back to her, and she smiled.

I sniffled and wiped my eyes.

"What's happening to me?" I cried.

"I'll tell you when we get inside. They could come back." She said, and helped me up to go to her mansion.
