Charlotte POV
As I stood up something hit me hard on my chest and an image of a girl lying dead with a man weeping beside her. I walked closer to the scene and what I saw shocked me to the brim.
I saw James crying and whaling on the ground and a girl in his arms. Blood covered her face and by the looks of it her throat was slit open. The surrounding was unfamiliar and James looked different, some of his features where the same but something about it face was unfamiliar.
Like magic I was back to his room. I couldn't move nor breath it was like something was fighting to be let out, I couldn't hold it anymore and immediately I stopped resisting I blacked out.
*********
The next morning I found myself in my room, in my pyjamas and Mira lying at the far end of the room. I couldn't recall what happened but I knew something was wrong, something didn't feel right and I felt really creped out by this unfamiliar feeling.
I checked my phone and saw that it was almost six in the morning. I got up form my bed did my morning routine, made breakfast before waking Mira to get ready for school.
I felt like I was a shadow of myself and I didn't like this feeling at all.
James didn't come to work today but he emailed me saying he would be gone fore a week or two, until he's back I should forward all his calls.
He didn't leave any form of message for me, it was like yesterday didn't happen and if I said I wasn't upset that would be a huge lie.
I know we just met like four days ago but I don't know, I just feel like I've know him all my life maybe more. His eyes where captivating and familiar, his kisses where addictive and intoxicating in so many ways, his touch burnt my skin but I wanted to burn.
I know he felt it too because the way he looked at me told me everything I needed to know. I mean he couldn't just be going around kissing every girl he see. Maybe he could but that wasn't the point, I think what we have is special even though we weren't exclusive, yet.
My mind was in a turmoil. I wanted to know where he went off to and why he hasn't contacted me.
I tried calling him but his phone was switched off and I had no other means to reach him. I knew something was disturbing him and I know he had secrets, I wish he could confined in me and tell me what's wrong.
If he asked me anything right here and right now I would answer him truthfully in a heart beat. I felt like I could trust him and I did.
Work that day was excruciatingly long and boring. I had no friends and truthfully I didn't want one, I was better of alone with Mira.
I went over to her school to pick her up and we went home. I cooked dinner for us and so far we haven't mention a word to each other.
She was avoiding me and I didn't know why.
Mira, I called out to her and she immediately tensed. I tried touching her hands but she winced and retreated her hands from the table hiding her face from me while silently sniffing and I knew she was crying. Immediately my heart began to ache just like how I felt before I blacked out yesterday.
Mira what's wrong? I asked with concern laced on my voice. Surprisingly i didn't now what to do or what to say.
Charley, s.....sorry I mean Charlotte do you really mean what you said yesterday? She asked as she broke down into a full blown tears.
Something in me was telling me to silence her immediately, the voice was telling me to hit her and lock her up if she continued to cry but instantly I shook my head in disapproval to that nasty Idea.
Mira what do you mean? What did I say? I asked her as my voice shook in fear of what I said to her.
You....you, hiccup, said I.....I, hiccup, was a....a burden and...and that you...you wished I...I was....was dead, hiccup. You....you brought me ...to the.....the lake down....down town....and you almost threw me inside the lake but some...someone was coming so...so you stopped. She says stuttering all the way and I couldn't believe what she said.
I would never do that. I tried to moved closer to her but she cowered in fear and it stung my heart so bad that I wanted to cry but I didn't.
Mira, I would never, I mean never, says that to you.
Truthfully I don't remember bringing you home yesterday. I blacked out and if I did do that I am sorry, I was already on my kneels crying for her to believe me and she looked at me with those beautiful baby blue eyes pouring with tears.
Charley, I was so scared. Promise me you wouldn't do that again she looked down at me with hopeful eyes. I promise baby, I promise.
Immediately I said those words she jumped me and we both landed on the ground. She hugged me like she had never done before, it was like she yearned for my love, like she was afraid I would abandon her just like my mom did. It was funny to have a sister who looked like my daughter.
After my parents divorce I was left with my mom and my mom moved from one man to another until she met Mira's father a couple years ago and they lasted for two years until they had Mira and everything fell apart.
She ran away leaving me with a three months old Mira. Thankfully I recently got a job and every since we've been together and I didn't regret a single thing about it.
I loved her like my own child and sometimes i like to think she's my daughter. I don't know why I said those words to her but all I knew is that it wasn't me and I needed to know whats wrong with me.
Charley don't every leave me she says silently sniffing.
Everything was silent for awhile and i thought she was asleep.
I loved you mommy she says softly against my neck and my heart melted. I know am her sister but she is more like a daughter to me than a sister so even though she wanted to call me that I wouldn't mind.
Mira, I want you to know that what ever happens I'll always love you I said kissing her hair.
We laid there for thirty to forty minutes before I noticed her breathing was steady. I took her to our room and laid her on the bed slightly caressing her hair.
I stood up from the bed put on my jacket and went outside. I walked around the neighborhood to clear my head before I finally sat down on a bench and looked at the lake. The sharp pain I felt yesterday intensified and I tried to fight back but I couldn't and immediately I blacked out.
Unknown POV
As I was jogging home exhausted from my morning run I saw something eyes catching. I don't know how to describe it, it was in form of a circle with a huge star in the middle, it was made of chalk and blood with inscriptions written on the.
What caught my eyes was the girl in the middle of the circle she looked pale and lifeless. I moved closer to the scene but not too close, the girl shifted a little bit and I knew she wasn't dead.
I immediately fished out my phone from my pocket and called an ambulance.
Miss are you alright? no reply, I moved closer but not daring to enter the circle.
Hey miss, are you awake? I moved a little bit closer and she shifted again and I couldn't help but go closer into the circle. I picked up a stick and touched her with it and as I did that she open I eyes instantly.
Her eyes where blazing red and I fell backwards. She stood up and walked closer to me but she couldn't leave the circle.
Бягай ( Run), she says with an amused smirk before she once again she passed out.
I ran for my life but not before telling the ambulance the exact location.
