Chapter 4: Three Hooded Figures

Chapter 4: Three Hooded Figures

Daphne's POV

The moment he held my hand, the pain stopped

I couldn't feel the other man's emotions anymore

There seemed to be a spark of blue light the moment we held hands

I stared at him

Who are you?

Then I heard someone saying something and I turned to look at the man that followed him

He seems strange

He eyes were all white

"One Cursed soul in two bodies

You are Cursed for eternity

History repeats itself

They have sensed you

And they are coming

Finding your roots might help" the man said again and again and then collapsed

He was unconscious

Liam's POV

"Charlie!!" I screamed as I let go of Daphne's hand and ran to where he is

"Charlie!" I called again as I gently tapped his face

"Wake up Charlie" I said and he moved a bit and slowly opened his eyes

"What happened?" He asked as I helped him sit up

"You suddenly went all bizarre and you were saying stuffs thar I don't understand" I replied

"Really! That's not a good thing" he said looking scared

"Why, what's wrong?" I asked

"I rarely have such intense vision Liam, and the first it happened was..."

Charlie stopped talking on hearing Daphne's heavy breathing, something seems to be affecting her

And then she began shouting again

"Ahhh!!!!"

"What's wrong?" I asked as stood by her side but she kept screaming

I was a bit scared to hold her again but nevertheless, I held her hand and she immediately stopped screaming

She also stopped screaming the first time I touched her

Does this have any kind of meaning?

"Are you alright?" I asked and she nodded

Why isn't she saying anything?

Maybe she can't speak

I made to stand up but she quickly shook her head

"What is it?" I asked but she kept shaking her head

"Okay, I don't understand you" I said as I let go of her hand

Immediately I let go, she shut her eyes tightly and was breathing heavily

Something is affecting her

What is it?

I held her hand again and her breathing became normal and she opened her eyes

It seems whenever I hold her whatever is affecting her stopped

I guess I'll just have to keep holding her hand for now

"You were saying something Charlie" I said as I continued to hold Daphne's hand

"The first time it happened was 22 years ago, on the first night you started waking up in the woods" Charlie said

"What did you see then?" I asked shock

"I don't see anything, I never see anything in this kind of vision, I just speak without knowing what am saying"

"What did you say then?"

"Another Curse ignited

Another generation damned

Two souls Cursed for eternity

They are born to die" Charlie said

"What... What does that mean?" I asked

"I don't know, I told your Dad about it and he didn't know too so we ended up forgetting about it" he said "so what did I say this time, cause I don't really remember?"

"One Cursed soul in two bodies

You are Cursed for eternity

History repeats itself

They have sensed you

And they are coming

Finding your roots might help" I said

"What does that mean?" He asked

"Are you seriously asking me that?, You were the one that said it"

"One Cursed soul in two bodies" Charlie said slowly "Don't you think that's you and Daphne?" He asked

"Maybe but in your first vision you said two souls Cursed for eternity, so how come it's one soul now?" I asked

"I don't know, stop asking me critical questions, my brain is already going overload from thinking of what the vision mean" he said

"So I am Cursed after all" I said

"And she is Cursed too" Charlie said pointing at Daphne who was obviously listening with keen interest but didn't say a word

"You also said History repeats itself, maybe there's a similar story like ours that have happened before" I said

"I also said finding your roots might help, so I guess it's time to dig into history" he said

"That shouldn't be a big deal, am a historian after all" I said

"Really?" Charlie asked surprised

"Yeah, I read History in College" I said

"That's great, that's gonna really help alot"

"But I think we are forgetting something"

"What is it?" Charlie asked

"You said 'they have sensed you and they are coming', so who's they?"

"I don't know Liam but I am sure it doesn't mean anything good" Charlie said

Suddenly it started raining heavily and there were thunderstorms

Then the door to the house opened and 3 hooded shadows appeared and my breath hitched in my throat

The shadowed figures walked in and stood in front of us

"Who are...." Charlie couldn't finish his words as one of the hooded figures sent him flying and he hit the wall

"Charlie!!!" I screamed

They walked towards Daphne and I and I quickly stood up still holding Daphne's hand

"Stay away!!" I yelled

One of them brought out a veiny and bloody hand and pointed it towards me

It was as if my insides were boiling and blood started coming from my eyes

"STOOOOP!!!" Daphne yelled with a high pitched scream and I had to cover my ears

A heavy wind started blowing and the 3 hooded figures disapeared and then Daphne collapsed....

Daphne's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and I was in a room, a room I've never seen before

Where am I???

I remember being in my house in the woods and those hooded figures came

They were hurting him and I did something

I don't even what I did but it worked and they disapeared

But where am I now?

Was it all a dream?

Was I never cursed in the first place?

Am I still in West Haven with my parents? I thought with hope

I quickly tried to stand up but it was then I noticed someone was holding my hand

It was him, Liam

He is sitting by the side of the bed, holding my hand and probably sleeping since his head was on the bed

Who is he?

It's not just that I can't feel his emotions but whenever he holds me, I can't feel other people's emotions too

I guess he noticed it too that's why he's holding me now

I sighed as I recalled everything that happened in the burnt house

What do those two visions mean

How am I connected to him

Who are those hooded figures

And where am I........
