Rebellion

Lily

Bianca took off her shoes and socks and put them in her bag. She was about to step into the stream…only the voice detained her.

Don’t go in the stream…the water is like poison to the heart and mind…it will burn the sense out of you, for they who desire to posess you are dangerous. You must beware, for you have been hiking in the Cursed Forest.

Bianca suddenly felt a surge of black anger, fury that possessed her. She didn’t know where it came from. She didn’t know why she was mad. A sort of senseless spirit wrapped itself around her as she stepped into the spring.

She felt as if she was burning from the inside, perhaps this unknown speaker was right…. She thought she might have become hopelessly posessed by the evil spirit. She was fading away…would she ever come back? Would her life ever be normal? She knew now that it had been wrong to betray the speaker, that she shouldn’t have rebelled. But could she stop herslelf from fading away? Bianca knew she had to fight against it, but right now she didn’t feel like fighting anything….
