The boy ran through the woods. He wore a dark blue cloak that covered him. He felt the bushes and trees scratching and seemingly trying to hold him back. Regardless, he pushed through the forest trying to escape the danger that was after him.

Th young boy finally made it to a small clearing in the middle of the woods. He looked around making sure he was safe. As soon as he thought the danger was nowhere to be seen he say down in the middle. He looked down at the small amulet he had tied around his neck and felt at peace. But everything has to end. Especially when someone is happy.

"You thought you could escape?" a laugh rang from all around the boy making him jump to his feet and look around, "You will never escape me. I'm everywhere you go."

"Leave me alone!" he shouted at a random bush, "You can't do this to me!"

"But I can and there is nothing you can do to stop me. Unless of course, you'll be willing to make a deal" the boy saw a bright green light shining from in front of him.

"What deal!?"

"You will be frozen. Only the touch of your soulmate can bring you back."

"Soulmates don't exist." he muttered, "What's in it for you?"

"In five hundred years I will return. If you have yet to find your soulmate, you will return to me. Do we have a deal?"

The boy thought about it for a few minutes still staring at the green glow coming from the woods. He may not believe soulmates exist but this may be his only hope of freedom. "Deal" The glow faded a small bit and out of the woods stepped the very danger he was avoiding. The witch. The evilest of them all. The most horrible person in the world. His sister.

She held out her hand as the green glow around it slowly faded to a blue color. The boy hesitated but slowly reached out his hand and shook his sisters. "How the hell do you plan on freezing me in time. You know no spells of this."

"That's where you're wrong Thomas" the boy looked down and saw his foot slowly turning a stone. He looked back up at his sibling with a horrified expression. She smiled as she slowly disappeared back into the woods. He tried taking a step only to notice both of his feet had turned to stone. He reached out his hand to grab her as she waved and disappeared into the night.

The stone had reached his neck and his hand was frozen in place. "Fucking Bitc-" The stone cut off his sentence as his head turned to stone leaving him trapped there until fate brought his soulmate or 500 years passed.

A boy finally finished unpacking all of his boxes in his new house and fell on his bed. He closed his eyes slowly falling into the trance that is sleep. But then his phone rang. "Hello?" he didn't bother looking at the ID, he knew who it was.

"Hey Tord! Whatcha doing?" the excited voice rang through his ear

"I finished unpacking and wanted to take a-"

"You wanna hang out with us at the park?"

"Why?"

"Because you're new in town and I wanna show you one of the most awesome things ever!"

"Alright Edd, I meet you at the Oak's in fifteen."

"See you soon Tord!"

New Story! Yay! I don't have updating schedules anymore so we'll see when I decide to post the first chapter. This was basically giving an explanation so the whole statue curse thing makes somewhat sense.
That's it for now. Later Peoples
