Murdered

I couldn't believe it. She was dead… and I killed her. I shouldn't have been fighting her but, I didn't feel in control of my actions. Astarte controlled me, told me to attack her.

And I listened. I don't know why, I just did.

Now, she's gone. In the distance, I heard wolves cry out to the moon. Looking for a lost pack member maybe? Calling, mourning, over a lost one. Did he suffer alone from a loss?

Wolves weren't so much different from him. The either traveled alone or in packs. They hunted for food.

They either had each other or walked alone in this world. My mother died when I was young, I barley remembered her. My dad, John Morris, took care of me after the death, and then he died. A neighbor looked after me then, until I was old enough to fend for myself.

I'd known Charlotte for years. I met her when I was 8, she was 6. She always had her nose in a book, like she did before she died. We'd been near interpretable since. My parents had been close friends with her`s. I met her when my parents took; made actually, me to a small dinner party they were holding. Charlotte had been in the garden. Reading a book and I, stupidly, teased her.

Some bigger kids, were mean to her, really mean, and I told them off for her. We became instant friends.

She always supported me, helped me when I needed it. Now, she's not here, not here to support me.

The wolves cried again, louder, sadder. They heard my pain, they shared it. They howled out to the moon, crying, tears fell out to the ground. I felt them on my face, bleeding out of my eyes.

The castle stalked me from behind. Its shadows engulfed me. Its stone steps looked like a pale silver in the moonlight.

I thought I knew what it was like to be alone. I was wrong.

Now I knew what it felt like to be alone cos, now, I truly am alone.

No one to help me now, Charlotte, my dad, my mom, everyone is gone.

Out of it all, I have one choice, I got up off the steps and headed once again into the castle. Life's not worth living alone.

So I walked into the castle.

Into my death.
