"But if I die, she dies" said Leo. "Who was it?" asked Elena. "I don't know, but I've seen this crossbow sign somewhere before" said Leo. "I think, I'm in danger, so I just want to do one thing right now" said Leo staring at Lindy. "What?" asked Sophie. "Whatever is it, It's after me. But it will cause danger to Lindy too, I'm just going to disconnect her life from mine" said Leo. Leo and Lindy held hands and Leo started to chant the spell. Suddenly in the middle, Leo got tied up with ropes and got dragged down on floor. His hands were tied, he couldn't do anything. Sophie cut the ropes but he was still dragging over the ground. They tried to stop Leo but it was too swift. Elena ran after Leo screaming for help but later he got disappeared in the woods. "What was it?" asked Lindy. "I don't know but the magic that dragged Leo was so powerful, we should do something, he's in danger" said Sophie. "Where did he go?" asked Elena terrifyingly. They followed in the woods. Suddenly, Lindy screamed. " What happened?" askef Sophie. Lindy pulled her arm-sleeve and saw a cut on her arm. "It's him (Leo), he didn't finish the spell. He's hurt" said Elena. "Guys, I think I can hear him" said Sophie. "Really? that means, we are near" said Lindy. Sophie followed the voice of Leo. "the voice isn't clear but I'm pretty sure that he isn't screaming. It's like a whisper" said Sophie. "I think he is sending a message to us" said Sophie. There appeared few sides in the woods. "Which way?" asked Lindy. "I can't hear it now, it stopped" said Sophie. "I think we should go to the left" said Elena leaning down. She picked a ring. "That belongs to Leo, he probably left it for us to find him" said Sophie. They went to the left as led by the clue. They went ahead but they found nothing in there. They all spent hours in the woods in the search of Leo but he was nowhere to be found. They all were exhausted, so they decided to go home. "I'm here in this town just for a week" said Elena. "You're at your grandma's?" asked Lindy. "Yeah!" said Elena. At night, Lindy got herself somewhere in a dark house, full of blood on her hands, she was running and trying to hide for her life. She was shivering, in a hurry while hiding she broke a vase and tripped on it. She hurt her feet but she didn't stop running. She hid under the stairs when she heard the foot steps. As slowly, someone was walking towards her, She could see the shadow getting closer. Lindy saw someone holding an axe and pulled up the axe and hit Lindy in her feet. She screamed highly and as hard as she could. Lindy woke up and realized she was having a nightmare, it wasn't real. "You okay, Lin?" asked Sophie. "Did I scream?" asked Lindy breathing heavily. "No, but I saw you waking up from sleep in a sudden. You had a nightmare again?" asked Sophie. "Uh.. Yeah! I'm fine just a little nightmare.. it's uh.. fine" said Lindy. Again, Lindy couldn't see the face of the person but she knew it was a girl. As she stood to go downstairs to drink water. She looked down at her feet, They were actually wounded and full of blood, She knew it was Leo again. In the Morning, one of Lindy's feet was swollen but the other was well. "Can you walk?" asked Sophie. "Yeah, I'm fine!" said Lindy. "Sophie, don't you think we should tell uncle Liam about it?" said Lindy. "No, now's not the right time.. but we will, soon" said Sophie. They reached college. When Lindy was heading towards the locker room, She saw Joseph doing magic. She immediately hid behind and ran away from there.
*Any guesses, What will happen next?*
