Megan Sometimes

Episode 3

Megan

I opened my eyes to see that the sun had set, and it was turning dark. I thought I was going to see Sam waking me up. Then, I remembered what happened.

I sat up and looked at her body. She was smiling, but blood was still running down her head. Her clothes were stained with the blood running on the rock behind her.

I was still unable to stop crying until a blue light caught my attention. I thought at first it was a bug, so I didn't give it any concern.

But, the light approached my face and went down to my hand. I raised my hand to touch it, but it flew toward Sam's body, then approached my hand. I stood up at my feet and looked at the light. It started to move infront of me.

I followed the light, and it led me to the deep part of the woods. I followed it without thinking trying to catch it. Then, I saw it stop in some place that I hadn't visit before. I approached the light, but it faded away.

I looked around me trying to figure out where I am. I hadn't come to this place before. I looked at the ground to see spiders walking in straight line behind each other, which is a weird behavior for insects like spiders.

I followed them, and I could see an eerie looking hut lit dimly between the trees. I approached the hut hesitantly and stepped in front of the door.

I knocked on the door, and it sprung wide open in front of me.

"Welcome", I heard someone saying from the inside.

I stepped inside to see a young lady wearing a strange long hat and a loose cloak on her body. Though her figure was odd, her face was pretty.

"Who are you?" I said with a scared tone.

"I'm the only one who heard what happened to you," she said seriously. "I know you're hurt, but if you need help, I can help you".

I could figure out from her smell that she is a witch. Luna told me that witches are very tricky. They can't be trusted. "Can you help me get her back?" I couldn't resist asking her for help. Though she could be evil, I have no other choice.

"She was dead the moment she hit the ground. I can't bring her back to life", she admitted.

I sighed hopelessly not knowing what to do. "But I can find you another way to get out of this", she said. I shook my head waiting her to tell me how.

"You could replace her", she said simply. I widened my eyes not knowing her intent. I could sense evilness in her words.

She read my thoughts and knew I was searching for explanation. "I can prepare you a spell. You will look like her, and she'll look like you. You can convince her parents that it was you who was dead, and you will live with them safely. They won't hate you because you're their daughter, but they'll hate Megan to death if they knew she killed their daughter", she explained with confidence.

I was infuriated by her words and by the fact that I'll trick Sam's parents. "No", I yelled at her.

She started packing some stuffs preparing to leave. "Ok...then, excuse me", she said.

"Wait", I said realizing I had no choice but to do what she said. I can't be kicked out on streets. I have no one but the pack. "What will happen to my wolf?", I asked thinking about Ellionora.

" She will still inside you. Though you look different, your spirit will stay the same. She will always be linked to your spirit. But, you have to be aware of saying her name in front of people. You're lucky you're under 16. She hasn't been revealed to the pack yet", she tried to connect my dots. "You'll live her life. That's the difference. It's difficult but better than being on street. Right?" she continued.

She's right. It's the only choice I have. Taking the risk of living her life better than being on street or being killed by the Alpha. "Ok", I said.

She gave me a wicked smile that froze my veins. She approached me handing me a witch bottle. She nodded her head telling me to drink it.

I took it from her hand and looked at her. She nodded again. I took a deep breath and drank the bottle. I felt a severe headache for a moment. Then, the pain went through my whole body. I fell to the ground holding my stomach.

Few minutes later, the whole pain was gone, and I looked to my body to see her hands. I looked at my hair and saw it had turned blonde. I turned to the mirror and gasped. I was Sam.

Tears filled my eyes, but my sadness was broke by the witch's hand coming in front of my face. "Here... Take this and sprinkle it on your clothes, then sprinkle some more on hers, so you don't get caught from your clothes", she said while leading me outside the hut. "Remember... If you missed your old shape, you can visit your tree house", she continued walking behind me.

I analyzed the last sentence she said and figured that I didn't caught what she said. "Wait, what?" I asked as I turned to her, but I was astonished to see nothing behind me. Even the eerie looking hut was diminished.

I held the bottle she gave me and head back to Sam.
