Lockwoods POV~~~~~

We were tearing through the woods. Feet pounding against the ground. Gasping for air as we ran for our lives. Lucy and George were right on my heels. " Go!" I breathed. I couldn't make out a single word, to out of breath to manage more than one word at a time. We jumped in to the iron circle and in unison we collapsed to the ground, panting. After about 2 minutes I looked around. We were completely surrounded by visitors. About three or four of them were lurkers. About six were  type twos. We were goners. "Theres way to many" i looked over my shoulder to see search lights from DEPRAC. They sent us in to check out the old house and now they couldn't get to us. " one of us is going to have to make a diversion while the other two run to safety" Lucy said from behind me. " Alright I go" I said. " Nope, i am. You and George run for the lights over there" Lucy pointed over her shoulder. " Not happening Luce" i said in a worried voice. We were all in bad shape at the moment. I lost my coat in the house. Lucy's leggings were torn and Georges shirt looked ready to give up. " Sorry Lockwood but you don't have a choice so stop complaining and get ready to run." Lucy went to walk around me but i grabbed her arm and spun her toward me and made her look at me. " I'm not arguing over this right now." I said in a hurried voice. " We don't have time for this Lockwood."  " Hey guys, i hate to interrupt but we need to get out of here now." George said eyeing one ghost in particular. It was a type two who had been dead for at least a decade or so. Her hair was messy and tangled. Her clothing was ripped and torn and bloody. Her jaw was hanging open. Someone had broke her jaw while trying to dispose of her body. It was a terrible sight. I turned back to Lucy who was now growing impatience to the fact that I hadn't let go of her arm and i wasn't going to any time soon. " Lets stop and think for a moment alright" i said to no one in particular. " We don't have the time to stop and think Lockwood. Listen to me for once."

" Luce this is not the time for one of your temper tan-" i was cut off by her lips crashing into mine. I took a step back, surprised. Sure i liked Luce. I had liked her since the day we met. I felt a strong connection to her. I kissed her back, cupping my hands around her face. Thats all she needed. Was for me to let go of her arm. She pulled back and ran. She ran back in the direction we had just come from. All of the visitors picked up one her almost immediately and the took off for her. As did I but was stopped by George. He stepped in front of me and pushed me to the ground. DEPRAC saw the opportunity to rush in and they took it. People that i have never seen before rushed around me and George in a blur. Me eye focused in one Lucy and the visitor that had his hand. Through her heart. I screamed. I screamed her name. Everyone stopped and looked. Some gasped. Others put their hands over their mouths. But no one ran to help her. I jumped up and her eyes met mine. I stood still. Not knowing what to do. I felt dizzy. I felt tired. She looked at me and smiled. She didn't scream. She didn't cry. She didn't even looked hurt. She just smiled. Then her eyes rolled back and she crumpled to her knees. Then i one swift movement she fell to the ground.

I shot up. Screaming and crying. I looked around and saw my bedroom. Nothing had moved. Nothing was different. It was a dream i thought. Just a dream. I jumped out of bed and ran to the door. I ran out of my room and tore down i hallway. Wiping my eyes i ran up the stair case that led to Lucy's room. I stopped and knocked on the door. Nothing happened . No sound came from the other side. I didn't want to barge in so i knocked again this time calling her name. Nothing. I heard someone coming up the stairs. I turned around to see George. He was wearing his normal clothing even thought it was three in the morning. " what are you doing Lockwood. Why are you banging on Lucy's door at three in the morning." " where's Luce?" I asked. " At the cemetery, she died two years ago don't you remember?"  WHAT. NO THIS COULD NOT BE HAPPENING!!! " I felt dizzy and tired again like i had in the dream. Or maybe it wasn't a dream... Maybe it was a memory. But even if it was then why couldn't i remember the last two years of my life. All of a sudden i was aware of George screaming. Then every thing went black.

"Lucy were are you"
"Please come back"
"Please..."

So how did you all like this one. Please dont kill me for that ending. I just wanted to throw some drama in ya know. Okay bye!!!!
