The Disturbed

I became lost in my words they lifted me, they guided me, they whispered everything and I know about who I was and who I would become, they brought order out of the chaos but they couldn't erase the lingering lump in my throat. If Only……..
Regret is a frightful thing everything about those few years still haunts me today, I could have saved Dawn had I known what I knew now. Everything back then was so complicated the school, the dreams, the chaos. The only safe crany I had was my notebook.
I couldn't hide from Mary and I couldn't save her either but I did free her. You see Two years ago to this day I started attending Kismet Academy a prestigious school because I was legacy. I personally never wanted to attend the school and feel that I would have been better off if I hadn't at some points.
My dorm was on the left side of the Victorian campus near the old church, the building itself was tall in stature and had an intricate design carved on the wall similar to that of a Celtic religious symbol. It being a Victorian structure I found that slightly strange. My room had not been stayed in for quite a while a thick glob of dust adorned the once white sheet that covered the furniture in the single room.
There was an old trunk at the end of my bed with a lock on the end, I tried to open it but I had no luck. I left my room to inspect the campus the graveyard had a freshly dug grave and it had just rained so everything seemed bleak. I tried to muster up the courage to walk to the church but I was freaked out by the darkening sky so I just turned around and--.
"I am so sorry" I apologized.
I had bumped into a kid around my age his copper bangs swept across his face as the wind blew and his green eyes shined in the pale moonlight. He wore a pair of loose padded jeans that had a slightly tan tint and normal black t-shirt that hugged his muscular arms.
"It's Okay don't worry about it" he said and walked away giving me a slight smile.
I went back into my room and on my pillow was the strangest thing.. Two different news articles from the nineteen twenty's.
Teen Gone Crazy
Mary Hartsfield age 16 claims students from her school have been erased from the public's memory.
Mary Hartsfield Tragedy
Mary Hartsfield Age 17 engaged to Ezekiel Cross killed herself after being told numerous times she was crazy. No one realized Mary was suicidal but the school said that is what happened and Headmaster Eddryol Dowser her guardian at the time had her body cremated.
Someone totally got the wrong room. Why would someone put this in my room? I mean I don't even know anyone in this school! Great just great!!
I got up the next morning for orientation I settled on my outfit last night a pair of dark denim jeans and a black and green wide striped tank top with my Cute Is What We Aim For hooded jacket. I grabbed my black chucks and walked indolently toward the grand hall.
I took a seat and waited for the lecture to begin.
"Good morning students" Said a man with olive colored skin, graying short hair and sparkling nearly yellow green eyes.
"I'm pretty sure you know who I am but for the sake of introduction I am Eddryol Dowser and I am the Headmaster here at Kismet Academy. I welcome you to the New Year and all say" he started and everyone followed.
"Merry Meet" I said
"I know you are all looking forward to getting to know your new classmates but things need to be put in order as usual." Everyone clapped and looked around the room "Well I would like to begin by introducing one of our many legacy's Zakarious Cross, he is by unanimous vote school president this year and in charge of picking the prefect council." He finished as the boy I had ran into walked up toward the stage.
"My name as apparently many of you already know is Zakarious Cross, and I have been attending this school for three years now and now for the prefect council I shall be picking students throughout the day." He said
"Okay, Thank you Mr. Cross, now we shall let you all go and get acquainted with your new classmates have a nice first day" Mr. Dowser said.
So I got up and headed down the hall toward class 2-A hoping that I would make at least one friend and not feel too out of place but the chances of that happening were like 1 out of 1000. I walked into the classroom and—
"I'm so sorry" Man this is déjà vu.
"You should really stop running into me, not that I really mind though" Zakarious said with a smile as he helped me to my feet.
"Sorry, I really am sorry; I'm not normally this clumsy"
"It's okay it's kind of funny actually"
"So student body president huh" I said
"Yea I guess that is just the way it is, I meant to ask you, what is your name?"
"Oh yea it's Schuyler Rune"
"Nice to meet you Miss Rune but I guess I really have to be going now." He said
"Yea he's got more important things to do than talk to the girl that ran him over I'm Elissi by the way" Said a girl with bleach blonde hair blue green eyes and full red lips who reminded me of a prostitute.
"That was rude Eli" Zakarious said in a scolding manner but implying that he knew who she was.
"I'm sorry" she said in a mocking tone and stormed out of the classroom dragging Zakarious out by his arm and down the hall.
“Just had a run in with Elissi eh?” A girl with honey brown eyes and long blonde hair asked.
“Yea I guess, hi I’m Schuyler” I said
“Nice to meet you Dawn”
“So you want to hang out with me I noticed you sat alone at the orientation so I figured you probably don’t know anyone well aside from me now” she said grabbing my arm and pulling me toward her side of the room.
The day passed by relatively quick it was announced that the Prefect council would be announced later after further consideration of student behavior. The first few weeks flew by nothing really strange happened I mean I noticed students were gone but I mean their parents probably pulled them out to go on their annual ski trip or something I mean after all this is prep school.
It wasn’t until Friday, October 3rd that something strange really occurred.. I was walking with Dawn to the old chapel she had finally convinced me to go with her, although just walking towards it I got a bad feeling. The closer we got the more my stomach turned and the more I wanted to turn and run in any other direction but toward that church.
The church is kind of not in use it’s not that you couldn’t really go in you just didn’t go in. I know how strange right well, wrong oh so wrong, the church is creepy. I don’t know what it is between the wilted willow and the almost always dark sky that is just so uninviting.
I know how pathetic can you get being scared of an inanimate object that big has got to be an all time low. We halted at the doors.
“You don’t have to come in if you don’t want to I mean it is entirely up to you” Dawn said tauntingly “I mean if you’re scared I fully understand.”
“No I’m coming in with you, I mean who know what kind of mistchief you could cause in that church” I exclaimed as I brandished my arms above my head like the wind itself were moving them.
“Good because I really don’t want to go in there alone” she said
So we opened the doors making sure no one else was around. The chapel was dark, obscenly dark. I tried to turn on the lights but their were none. So dawn reached into her purse for her cell phone to light our way. She turned her light on and everything was covered with black sheets and the room had a smell of rust and decay a smell of death.
“What the heck” I asked stunned.
“I-I honestly don’t know” she replied
I pulled up a sheet and there was blood on the pew, Dawn pulled another one completely off and their was blood stains on the floor, their was just blood everywhere. I was too scared to scream and too horrified to leave. Dawn grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the chruch I just followed her lead and let her drag me whereever she wanted too stunned to show any emotion.
We passed Zakarious who looked concerned because it was like I was without life all I could think about was blood, the color the horrible smell, the fact that I didn’t recognize the smell that had haunted me since I was seven. We arrived at my room I had finally calmed down enough to formulate a sentence, a thought, an idea.
“Why? Why would there be all that blood in a church?” I asked Dawn
“I don’t know but I have to get to class we will talk later okay” she asked
“Yea”
“Are you going to be okay?” she asked giving me one last glance.
“Sure I’ll be fine just go but come back right after class is over okay.” I said
“Yea I’ll be here don’t worry too much for all we know it could have been some wild animal that they had to kill because it was trying to eat the students” she said in a mocking tone.
I knew she was only trying to make me feel better though. It was exactly four o’clock when Dawn left and it was now curfew and she still hadn’t come back to the room this was weird even for her I mean Dawn always stayed to study late after Chemistry because she really doesn’t understand it but it’s like eight o’clock.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
I ran out of my room as fast as I could to find a lifeless Dawn hanging from the banister on the second floor of the school hall. A nuse hung around her neck and everything about the scene was wrong. Her eyes were bloodshot red and not from hanging herself their was just something strange about this.
“n-o-o” I choked out trying not to completely brakedown.
“Zakarious get Skuylar out of here” Eddryol commanded.
“Come on Sky it’s all gonna be okay” he said grabbing my arm.
A girl in a white dress appeared beside Dawn, she was around my age maybe a little older but at least seventeen. Her eyes were golden brown and her hair was blonde but what caught my attention the most was the fact that she was dead. There was a nuse line around her neck she turned her head and looked directly at me.
“I tried to warn you I sware I tried to warn you but you didn’t listen, you should have listened you could have saved her. Don’t you get it.”
“NO!!” I screamed startling everyone including myself. “Let’s go” I said taking my hand from Zak and walking back toward my dorm.
“Are you okay?” he asked
“Would you be okay?” I asked him
“No I probably wouldn’t be” he said honestly “Goodnight Schuyler and please be careful” he said emphasizing the BE CAREFUL part.
He knew something I didn’t, he knew something about what was going on. Dawn would never hang herself even after what we saw in the church. I know Dawn and I know myself but what about that ghost? What was that she said about I warned you? What does she mean, wait wait WAIT!!!!!!!!!!
I stood up and reached underneath my mattress and found the two articles that were puton my bed the very first day I was here.
Mary Heartsfield, Ezekiel CROSS, Zakarious I get it now, Mary is the girl I saw, is she telling me that her death was not on purpose? That she never wanted to die? Zak must have put these on my bed that first night I was here right before I ran into him.
I went to sleep that night memories of dawn flashed through my head, memories of my parents deaths too. They say that when you have a tramatic experiment many have claimed to see the dead, but what if you really do see the dead? I never really got the chance to know my parents.
“Schuyler” My mother called.
I ran through the living room and into our kitchen.
“Yes mommy” I asked
“Well baby I know this may be kind of weird but do you trust me?” she asked
“Of course I do” I said as if it was the most ridiculous question in the world.
“If mommy is gone I want you to promise me when you are older you will attend this school” she handed me a book with a weird inscription on the front.
“But mommy why would you leave me?” I asked annoyed
“Baby I want you to know I would never leave you on purpose but if I did leave I want you to promise” she said.
All of a sudden mommy was on the floor of her bedroom with her throat ripped out blood everywhere there was a message in blood written on the wall that said “She thought she could escape no one can know my secret”. The more I staired the more the blood seemed to move.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed.
I woke up in a cold sweat I hadn’t dreamt about either of my parents in a very long time, I tried to forget about that day I walked into the house—I don’t want to think about it right now. I got up too irritated, and sad to sleep.
I was pacing at the foot of my bed where the old trunk was at.
I wonder where the key to this old thing is? Maybe if I tear the room apart I’ll find it. Why is all this happenning to me? How does any of this relate to me. I don’t get it.
So I took the matress off the bed, there was a letter under it. I’d open it later, I looked around the room for other places that might be fun to hide a key in. My eyes landed on the desk I looke in the drawers, nothing I lifted up the paper that alined the bottom even and no hidden compartments. I looked underneath the desk and I saw a small piece of black tape all the way at the back. I reached back and there was the key I grabbed it.
I was scared of what I might find inside that trunk, I slowly undid the lock. The top slowly creeked open and inside were letters and clothes and a book. It was the book that caught my eye it had an intricate celtic design much like the walls outside of this building.
I opened it and I knew why this room had so much dust in it now, this was Mary’s room this is her trunk this is her bed, this is all hers. Inside was a list of all her class mates written in a delicate script, I read down and two names caught my eyes they were circled.
Ezekiel Cross
Lanek Rune
Why was my Grandmother’s name circled, did they know each other, were they good friend,s and where does Cross fit into all of this? I mean I knew they were to be married but, I’m so confused!!!
I found a marked page inside, and decided that was were I would begin reading.
I shouldn’t have dragged them into this, Lanek and Ezekiel will never be able to live normal lives, Ezekiel never knew I wasn’t really going to marry him. Lanek is now cursed for life because of what I dragged them into. Eddryol will never die,
Lanek wasn’t like me she didn’t know she held that power and as for Ezekiel he knew but he was bound by tradition and honor to only use it when the time was right. Lanek doesn’t even hold half the power her grandmother did, but this I am leaving for her grandchildren, and Ezekiels if he survived after my death.
Eddryol is taking the life of young girls to remain the age he is fro all eternit. You have to stop him you probably think I am crazy but I took precautions I want you to go to the north hall and talk to the boy or girl that lives in the moon dorm.
This is insane! INSANE! What is going on at this school is everyone just crazy or am I the crazy one? The sad thing is I believe what Mary said. There has to be some reason for schuyler’s death and I am going to find it.
I looked at the letter for a long time dreading what I would find in there. I opened the manilla colored flap carefully I didn’t know how long this letter had been under there. I didn’t know why Mary couldn’t tell me this herself, I mean I can see her ghost and all…
Dear Schuyler,
This is all very hard for you to understand I know but you have a great gift if you are reading this then I am definetly dead and Eddryol has gotten what he required to survive without any hitches.
Your Mother Lilearia Rune
What the heck my mother and what okay I’ll just go ahead and go to the room.
I walked from my dorm to the room that the diary said I knocked on it not sure what was really going on.
“What are you doing here schuyler?” he asked
“Um this is going to sound really crazy-“
“Stop right there if this about Eddryol then I already know why you’re here”
“Okay then maybe you can tell me what the heck is going on?” I said
“Well basically what the letter said Eddryol is a bad man and we are going to stop him and avenge your mother and my great grandfathers death” he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
“Did you know who I was when I first bumped into you that night?” I asked him.
“Yes I did but I didn’t expect you to be so—“ I cut him off
“Charming, adorable, FREAKY” I said the last part a little loudly.
“You are charming and adorable but you’re not freaky I mean we all have secrets, and I know about the majority of yours” he said
“Okay so why am I here” I asked
“Well we’ll have to wait till the next full moon which is in two weeks when he goes to the church to sacrifice a girl while we have our full moon dance” he said
“Okay now you might have to explain some of this to me” I said
“Well Eddryol sacrifices girls on the night of the full moon which is why we always have our dance that night that away no one can hear the screaming and the dance is off campus and it is mandatory that all students attend” he said
“So how are we going to get out of it?” I asked him
“Leave that to me now go and let me get some sleep.” He pleaded
The next morning I got up I put on a pair of bright yellow leggings, a light denim mini skirt and I put on a white shirt with a black vest and I grabbed my signature silver chucks and rushed to my first period.
“Okay class the list for the school prefects has just been put on my desk, Schuyler Rune, Demitri…….”
WAIT! I’m on the prefect committee? Why would I be on the prefect committee wait a second, head of the prefect committee is Zak. This must be part of his plan. My first class went by in a flash, I was putting my books in my locker when I found a note on the top shelf.
Meet me for lunch at the red oak tree behind the school
Zak
I put my books up and headed to class when--
“Miss Schuyler Rune to the Headmasters office” rang over the intercom.
How am I suppose to face him as a person and not as the monster who just killed my best friend? I don’t get how I am suppose to do this? I walked shakily to his door and slowly turned the semi rusted handle.
“Ah Schuyler how are you this morning?” he said slowly “I mean after the loss of Dawn I know I would be devastated if I were you, are you sure you want to got o your classes today”
“Um I’m as okay as I can be and I would like to continue on with my classes today I think keeping busy will help me survive this whole ordeal” I said
I think he believed all the bull I was selling him but I can’t be too sure at this moment if you know what I mean, I don’t know the extent of his power in the school or in my head for that matter.
“You don’t have play coy with me Schuyler I know you saw what was in that church.” he said in a spiteful tone.
“I really don’t know what your talking about Mr. Dowser and I really would appreciate it if you would be a little more sensitive about my loss.” I said.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to come off rude or apathetic it was just I thought you might have seen something really bad and tried covering it up” he said smoothly almost as if he had played this scene out in his head.
“Okay, um may I please be excused to go to class now?”
“Of course I mean I wouldn’t want you to miss something important and have it affect your grade.” He replied.
“Thanks and I’ll see you Mr. Dowser”
I’ll be seeing him in a different light very soon hopefully. I went to my class and waited watching the hands on the clock slowly tick away the time of my life. I think it is funny how when you stare at a clock the day seems so much longer. One more hour until lunch and I can’t wait to find out what Zak is planning and at the same time I totally can.
I’m still wondering why Dowser killed Mary, I mean I’m sure he knew that she was trying to stop him, but with all that power she had I wonder why he didn’t try to get her help.
The bell finally rang, but it was actually sooner than I would’ve liked. I grabbed my stuff and raced to my locker, then dashed to the old Oak. I walked slower as I approached because I didn’t want to seem too eager.
“Hey” Zak said giving me a warm smile.
“So what is this all about?” I asked him.
“A little eager to find out about the plan huh” he said
“I guess I mean your also kind of cutting into my lunch time you know Daw-“ I cut off mid sentence when I realized Dawn wouldn’t be waiting for me ever again.
“Hey um so the plan right” he said trying to take my mind off thoughts of Dawn.
“Yea the plan” I said
“Okay well I assume you heard your name called to be a prefect, I figure that since we are in charge of watching over the kids and the teacher will be there to keep an eye and make sure no leaves-“ I cut him off.
“Wait the teachers are in on this too?” I asked astounded.
“No, but Eddryol has them under his fingers” he said “They are like little pawns he only uses them to distract.”
“Okay now as you were saying about being prefects and all.”
“So since we are prefects and all I figured it would be a good idea if we kinda slipped out to get say some ice for drinks or needed supplies that we accidentally left.” He said
“Oh I get it we act like we’re going to get those when in reality we’re going to bust Eddryol, so do you know who his victim is going to be.?” I asked him
“Well I believe it is Eli, that girl who was rude to you on the first day” he said
“Okay” I said.
“Well does everything make sense?” he asked
“Um yea I think I understand the plan”
“Okay well I’ve gotta go meet Eli and some friends will you be okay by yoiurself.”
“Yeah I’m fine I’ll see you later”
“Alright bye Schuy” he said
“Yea bye”
Is it wrong for me to say that I am jealous of Eli, she just flips her perfectly natural blonde hair and she gets anything she wants including Zak. I sat there in silence just staring at the trees musing about times with Dawn. I pulled my ipod out and hit the play button after putting my buds in.
I got up from my comfy bench and headed to my next class. School was officially over and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I laid down on my bed and then I heard a knock on the door. I walked over and undid the lock to let whoever was knocking in.
“Hey” Zak said as he leaned against the door frame.
“What’s up” I asked him
“I thought I could help you understand yourself a bit better.” He said
“What do you have in mind?”
“I don’t know, come with me and find out.”
We walked to the parking lot.
“Get in” he said pointing to his silver mustang GT. I looked at him once but decided it would be best to get in.
He closed my door for me and walked briskly to his side and got in as well.
“Would you like to plug your ipod in it is going to be a long ride” he said.
“Um okay but I don’t know that you’ll like my music” I replied.
I was slightly freaking out because he said it was going to be a long ride you know, I mean I trust Zak it’s just that I don’t really know what to expect from him.
“That’s okay I’m sure you listen to good music” he said with a crooked smile.
“Okay” I replied pluggin my ipod into and pressing play.
Thse song Let Your Spirit Soar came blasting through his speakers.
“3:00 am
A Boy sits outside his house
Lonely with his guitar
And then he plays a melody
That’s so familiar
It reminds him of who we are
So Hold fast to all of your hopes
And chase your dreams with all the you know
Live each day like it could be your last
Whoa
Don’t break hearts
Then try and hold hands
Cuz we’re living in a time
On living’s last chance
Let your spirit soar”
I sang and he laughed.
“You’re face lights up when your happy” he said
I blushed and looked out the window as he chuckled. So we were out in the middle of the country when he decided to stop.
“Where are we?” I asked him
“We’re at our destination.”
“A large field?” I said “Are you crazy?”
“No I’m going to help you remember generations of the past.”
“What do you mean?”
“I want you to close your eyes and imagine you’re mother standing infront of you”
“Okay”
“Now I want you to imagine her killer and.”
I felt a tingling sensation flow all the way up my arm and the tips of my fingers became cold.
“Okay”
“Stay focussed and go over there and touch that tree.” He said
I walked over focussing on what he told me to, I touch the tree and I felt as if all my anger was running into the tree all my cold emotions. I opened my eyes and the tree looked like glass.
“WOAH!!” I screamed.
“That is called transmutation, have you evere heard the term alchemist?” He asked
“Yea I mean I’ve heard the term and know what it means but that’s not possible.” I said
“Well did you or didn’t you turn that tree into a glass statue?” he asked
I just looked at the ground and then I felt my arms again I felt heavy and I fell to my knees. I blacked out because when I woke up I was back at the school and everything was backl to normal but my body still tingled.
We got back to campus and his words really stuck with me, so I got on my computer and decided to research this so called alchemy. The first law of alchemy and most important law of alchemy is that every exchange of little or great has a cost. What I did, didn’t come from within myself it came from what was around me. Chacra is how I did it the body has seven major chacra points medevil alchemists believed that all things could be explained. They called this structure Ether. It contained the three basic dimensions of existence, length, breadth and depth. Your strength comes from your palms and although everyone can perform alchemy certain people have a natural talent for it but it comes at a cost. You can not bring a person back from the dead without taking anothers life it must be an equal exchange.
I am going to work so that when the time comes and I have to face Eddryol I can right all the wrongs he has done and free the souls of the dead.
I decided to do some research on our dear Eddryol and found out that he too was an alchemist which explains why he sacrifices the girls because he has to have an equal exchange, he manipulated his power and became blood thristy. He didn’t understand the addiction of being able to manipulate anything you want so he became corrupted.
The week flew by, and before I knew it, it was one day away from the Full Moon dance. Me and Zak hadn’t reallyhad time to talk since the day he showed me what I could do and I got the hang of it on my own. Zak had been spending a lot of time with Eli, and I know it’s wrong but I can’t help but hate her. I was thinking about the plan as I sat in my room when I heard a knock on the door.
I opened it and there was Zak.
“Are you ready?” he asked
“Yea as ready as I’ll ever be.” I said
“This evening is going to go by fast and we have to catch him before he is installed with that power.”
“I am but I think we could be more ready if you hadn’t spent all your time with Eli.” I said aggrivated.
“Well it isn’t like you tried to get to know her or anything, or find me” he narrowed his eyes.
“Fine you know what just leave” I said getting more and more aggrivated by the minute.
“Okay I will, have fun thinking on your own” he said and stormed off to probably go find Eli.
I knew better than to say what I said but I couldn’t help it I was jealous. I looked around my room and realized it was nearly time for the dance and I wasn’t even ready. I got up quickly and went to my closet, I pulled out a long dark purple dress that gathered in the center with a silver crease and flowed about my feet. In the back it was a corset that I had to tighten myself. Dawn bought it for me for my birthday in hopes that she would get to see me wear it cuz she could help me tighten it.
I looked in the mirror and pulled my long deep red hair in to a side ponytail and left the ends with their natural curl I grabbed my silver heels and put on my silver star heart necklace that I got from my mom.
I walked out the door and nearly ran into Eli and Zak.
“Wow” Zak breathed.
“Ahem,” Eli started “You’re going to make us late.” She said
“Oh sorry Eli” he said taking off with her.
I was escorted by a guy from my class, he definetly wasn’t bad looking he just wasn’t Zak. I walked around the dance floor watching the clock and danced a few times with Quest that was my date’s name.
“It’s time” I said “We better go” I said walking up to Zak and his date was nowhere to be seen.
“You’re right.”
It wasn’t easy to convince the staff to let us out to get what we hadn’t really forgotten but we managed to pull it off. We hurried to the old church where we were sure to find Eli and Eddryol.
“You came” Eddryol said with a laugh as we burst throught the church doors.
“Yes” I said
“Good, good you would make a much better sacrifice than this girl.” He said pointing to an unconcious Eli.
I started to focus I could feel the power rushing through my body the light tingling I had become so familiar with. I loved the way it felt. Eddryol would have no power when the moon was exactly at it’s peak and my power would be at it’s greatest.
“Now Zak” I said
He grabbed him but he had slit the girls wrists and the power was starting to flow through him I was faster though I touched his skin as he touched mine he left a scar an imprint of hand burned into my arm. Eddryol was a crystal statue with a beating heart.
I knew that being what I am possibly an alchemist that I could tranmutate Eli’s soul back into her body, but everything comes at a cost. I’ve began realizing that with every strength I have gained comes a price, like how Eddryols power came with a price. I wasn’t given this power to abuse it or to necedsarily even use it period but what I do know, is that Eli doesn’t deserve to die just because I don’t like her.
I focussed on Eli’s body everything about her I had to picture her the way she was before Eddryol had slit her wrists. As I did I saw the air around her become like static and a slow breathe come in and out from her body as her sould was pulled back in.
The cost of this was Eddryol’s life the statue of ice turned back into a man and that man slowly aged until he became dust and all that was left of Eddryol was his clothes and his ashes blew into the wind.
“You…you saved her” Zak breathed
“I did but only because it’s not my choice who deserves to live or die.” I said and walked out of the chapel leaving a mystified Zak in my wake.
It’s all finally over.
I saw so many spirits heading into a bright light being freed from captivity their souls couldn’t rest until I had stoppeed there tormenter and saved a life.
“Thank you” I saw Dawn for the last time.
“You set us both free” Mary said she looked beautiful again and no marks covered her soul.
This isn’t the end of my story or Zak’s this is just the beginning.
