"Fear cuts deeper than swords." - George R.R Martin
Wicked, nefarious, vile, and malicious are just a few of the words used to describe a cursed. But what is a cursed? A cursed being is a mixture of both vampire and wolf DNA. They are stronger and f...
"This doesn't feel right, something evil could be in there. We should leave...now."
"You guys go, I have to find whatever this thing is," I reply determinedly as I shake her arm off me. She lets go as I step forward more and push the gate open. I kept walking inside this mysterious place and felt goosebumps run all over my body. A creepy fog arose around the area, and I was bummed to not have my twin by my side. I walked a little further until I felt something grab my hand. My heart jumped into my throat but when I turned my left it was just my twin brother. I gave him a smile and then we both continued on into space.
We walked around and saw what looked like cottage remains. Like someone burnt down almost half of these homes. The other untouched cottages were crumbling and still looked incredibly dismal. Was this once a town? There were so many skeletons and graves that it made me wonder what happened here? The humming picked up once we neared a cottage that was far off into this old village. The roof was caving in and looked utterly unsafe. Near the window sill were welting flowers and around the front were more welting flowers and other things. Whoever used to live here loved to garden, like our mother. I moved to open the door when Drax stopped me,
"This doesn't look safe. What if that roof falls on you?"
"It won't."
"But it could," he replied, and we both froze when we heard rustling. It felt like something moved or breathed. Is something here?
"Did you hear that?" Drax asked
"I need to get it." I pressed. Something rustled again but a bit more closely.
"I think someone followed us," Drax answers monotone but I could tell that he was frightened. I yanked out his grasp and went inside the cottage.
"Wait!" But I was already inside, and the humming was practically making my heart burst through my chest. I searched through the rubble, and the humming finally stopped when I grabbed a thick brown book.
"Liv?" Drax called
"Coming," I mumble as I run my hands over this leather book. It had an odd symbol right on the front. Could this mean something? I stood to my feet and walked towards the door when I felt the palm of my hand sting. I ignore it at first until the stinging gets worse. I drop the book and look down at my palm. A circle with small symbols or words in the middle was branded into my palm. I looked at it in shock and then shoved it into my pocket. I looked down to see where I had dropped the book, but it had vanished.
"Liv we have to go!" Drax called out again
"Yeah...ok," I reply back as I felt a cold sweat on the back of my neck. I walked out of the cottage, and the moment I reached my brother, the entire thing collapsed
"Let's get out of here," he comments as he runs towards the exit with me right behind him.
