=•1 Year Later•=

The 5 friends have gone their sperate ways... somewhat.

Sam and Colby live together in LA, Elton lives in LA with his doggo Circa and Corey and Devyn live together in Florida.

The group has kept in touch but isn't as close as they once were, after the abandoned mall, something just wasn't right.

=•Colby's POV•=

I jolted upright trying to catch my breath as I realize it was all a dream...

The same dream, I've been having for a while now.

I was covered with a layer of sweat and my cheeks were stained with tears which I had wiped away. I sniffled as I tried to remember the dream. It's the same, each time, but also different. But it always ends with a wolf chasing me, and killing me.
It scares me honestly...
No one knows about this, it's probably just the fact I keep having the latest late night snacks.

I turned my head and realized it was only 4 am. I sighed and flopped back in bed.
After about 20 minutes of lifelessly lying in bed, I decided to go take a shower.
The hot water felt so good and calming. I put my hand on the shower wall for support, I slowly glanced over at my hand and I realized something was off...
My fingers looked weird, my nails especially.
I moved my head from under the water stream and once my vision cleared my hand was fine.
I shrugged, I had water in my eyes.
So I went back to my shower.

Once I was done and most of my stress had washed down the drain I wrapped a towel around my waist and stood in front of my steamy mirror and watched as my reflection cleared, bit by bit. I had the irritating feeling of an eyelash being in my eye, closing my eyes I rubbed them then checked in the mirror.
I was taken back by the fact that my right eye was bright yellow.

what the fuck?

I quickly splashed water on my face and demanded my eyes to stay open to wash them out. Looking back int he mirrors my eyes were normal... Odd.

I left the shower and went to get changed.

=•Sam's POV•=

It was early morning and I had snuck out of the apartment since I couldn't sleep, well not at night. For some reason, I get really tired during the days, but at night I'm wide awake. So I'll go on a run around town to tucker myself out. I started out fast and kept up a good speed until I needed to catch my breath and I stopped in front of an alleyway to catch my breath.
For a moment I stood there, then I got a sudden wave of dizziness and stumbled forward towards the wall.

It all happened at once, my stomach started feeling like it was turning over, my head was pounding and my jaw was aching. I let out a muffled cry as I slid to the ground in agony.

Before I knew it everything went black...

Was it a dream?

Or was it real?

It was so choppy....

and hazy.

My vision was red, and everything kept blacking out.... but when it came back I'd be in a different spot.
I think I was looking for someone.. or something.

Once had finally woken up I was laying on my back in the back of the abandoned alley(flash) I was near before.

I let out a shaky sigh as I sat up, but my breath was taken away from the sight I saw.

I chest... my hands....

They were covered in blood.
I crawled over towards a puddle of rainwater and I looked down at my reflection. I was horrified.
My mouth was dripping with blood, and my teeth, they were sharp to a point.

I couldn't even look at myself, I attempted to stand but my legs weren't strong enough, I stumbled towards one of the side walls to hold myself up.
I was panting... I needed to catch my breath. But I couldn't bring myself to being my bottom lip too close to my sharpened teeth.

My stomach was still hurting but the smell of blood on my hands made my stomach ache and turn... As if I wanted it... Wanted more.

=•Corey's POV•=

Devyn and I went back to my childhood home for a week while my parents went on vacation. And even tho it's been so long since I left here, I still get the same vibes from this house that I always did.

"Hey babe... You ready to head to bed?" Devyn asks me as she puts her arms around me from behind.
"Yeah... It's what 1am?" I ask her as she kisses my cheek. "Corey it's 3 in the morning" I laugh as I turn the TV off, take Devyn's hand then lead her upstairs were our room is.
After getting into bed I couldn't shake this feeling that someone was watching us... Me. 

Once I knew Devyn was asleep I slowly crept out of bed then used my phone to help me look around. Once I let the room I whispered "Hello? Who's there?" It took a moment before something that looked just like a patch of fog floated up into the ceiling. 

"What the...." I whisper in the room turns a shade darker, I look from wall to wall and wonder for a moment before realizing. These shadows are coating the walls and moving up, then just disappearing.... 

My breaths started to quicken and my heart began to race... 

"Devyn? Devyn babe... Come out here. Please" My voice trembled

=•Devyn's POV•=

Corey's voice woke me from my sleep and I saw that our bedroom door was ajar. 

But beside the door was a dark figure. "Corey?" I asked quickly as the figure took a step closer. "No, no no my darling... BUt with my help you can help him, just go and see" The lady says as she gestures to the door. 

I swung my legs out of bed as his voice grew louder...
"Devyn... Devyn please, please..." He begs as I pick up the speed and run to the door, swing it open and run to Corey's side. He was on the floor cradling himself against the floor. 

"C-Corey what is it?!" I ask him nervously. "T-They're everywhere, the spirits... The ghosts!" He raises his voice as he looks up at me. But I was taken back by his eyes, usually a dark brown but now they were a bright white, that shown a dim light against my face. 
"D-Don't worry, I... I'll help you. I'll try. HEY! Help me, please" I yell at the lady as she comes out from the darkness and leans against the doorway and looks down at us. 

"Oh what is it darling?" She asks me calmly. "HOW DO I HELP HIM!" I exclaim as she raises an eyebrow, then rolls her dark purple eyes. "Ugh, honey you need to unlock your gift sweety. Dig deep into your soul and find the key that will unlock the powers to your true potential" She smirks at me as I close my eyes. 

"O-okay..." I take a moment and close my eyes, I search my brain for thoughts that could help.

Maybe I need something to give me hope?
I tried to think but nothing came to mind.

Something worthing fighting for?

Living for?

Dying for...

When memories of Corey rushed in I felt something happen. 

Seeing his face, smiling, laughing, joking around. Just being his usual happy self.Just being Corey

Then it was all happening at once, a bright spark came from my hands, Corey scooted back a bit. 

=•Third Person•=

Devyn's hand were glowing a dark purple and her eyes had turned the same shade as her hands. 

"WHAT NOW?" She asks the lady as the witch laughs with success. "You cast a spell, that is what witches do now don't they..." She says as she walks beside her. "Make something up, trial and error you know?"  She says as she disappears. 

"F**k, okay Corey? Hey babe, don't worry! it's still me, Devyn. Um, just let me try, please?" Corey stays where he is so she goes closer. She puts her hands on his shoulders and closes her eyes. 
"Corey, listen to me, these ghosts are all gonna go away. Just close your eyes and they'll be gone. okay?" She tells Corey as she opens her eyes slightly before seeing Corey close his eyes. 
"O-Okay..." He whispers before reopening his eyes, his normal eyes. 

"Devyn? babe... WHat the hell.. was that? He asks as Devyn realizes how tired she felt. Maybe that, spell? Maybe that spell took a lot out of her...

"Corey... what has happened, to us?" She asks with a scared ton as she barries her face into his chest.
