The Broken

Past escapes (maybe?)

I finally make it to a small doorway to small for any human before i knock on it with just a knuckle and wait for it to open. after a few minutes a small mouse like creature opens the door. “what do you want.” it squeaks

“i need to talk to Maria is she in today?” i ask softly my voice staying quiet.

The mouse pauses before stepping back inside closing the door. I sigh turning to walk away as the door begins to grow behind me large enough for humans but not the demons of this world. Not like doors stopped them before. I quickly spin back around and open the door everything behind is almost a blinding light as the sweet smell of cinnamon and woods mix together. I quickly shut the door looking down at the grass under my feet to avoid how the burning light hurts my eyes. I slowly step across the grass the warmth under my feet and the grass that is slightly tickling and slightly pointy as i step.

“you are either very brave with pourpose or very stupid with a death with.” maria says her voice loud but soft at the same time

“i have come to ask a favor for something to reach the land of the living you have pull and ties to that world i don’t have much but i have the skills to work with living things.” i say still looking at the ground before the bright light turns darker letting me lift my head.

“you wish to contact the living yet you don’t know how so you’ve come to me to ask to put myself on the line in order to save you or wants left of you.” she says standing from her throne made of grass and moss.

“please its important others need to know before its to late i don’t want them to be dragged into this pain having their familys hate them the way mine does.” i finally look up to see the moon behind her “i beg of you.” i almost whisper the last part.

She sighs and steps down into the grass with me. “what is it you truly want.”

“just that just for others like us to know to prepare for this that is all.”

“there has never been a time in my 500 years as a godess has any one every just wanted others to be warned of this.”

“i wish for freedom but i know that will never happen as long as im here so i need people to either find me or to let me go completely but the book is to warn people that don’t have much time.”

She sighs the flowers around us wilting slightly with her sigh. “by doing this i could let something horrible out or something horrible in not including the fact that we have the watchers that see all what if they dont like this plan of yours they condemn us both.” Maria says looking over through a small portal like thing that shows into the living world.

“please maria i can keep secrets and i know you havent turned down the pleading.” i say stepping closer as more flowers grow into a carpet like outline the red roses becoming more prominent.

Maria sighs and looks into the portal “you know the risks and yet you are still willing to go through with this and what if you do all this and srtill no one finds you and your fate is worse then it already is.”

“i will take that risk if you will help me.” i say as i finally stop in front of her.

“then when you finish your writing then i will send it through and you can wait and see.” Maria says closing the portal and sending me out back to my room so im sitting in front of my book again.

“damnit Maria but thank you.” i whisper to myself hoping no one heard. I sit there for the next few minutes before finally starting to write again.

Ah yes maybe maria is right and this book is needed but the risks are deadly now you will find out who Maria is if you ever come here she is like the mother we all needed. Hopefully though no one else gets pulled down here. anyways yes it hurts that my family has forgoten me and everyone i love moved on like i was nothing to them but at least down here i made friends like Maria. Although there is one person down here he is very sweet to me which is weird because many of us are girls but sometimes we get a boy down here from a rare bloodline. He is very nice though to all of us yet we know that it could never be since we all are attached to our past lives so we all know we have no chance although none of us know his past or why he is here. Either way i still hope this reaches the outside world not so you can hear me blabber about some boy but so then whoever is next in this trend will be better informed then we ever were.

Oh there are some rules down here besides the dont try to leave and dont contact the outside but there is also the rule of not using our gifts see its strange we have gifts yet once we use them we get tortured to forget or fear the use of them. I only know because i had a freind who tried to run once and once she used her fire gift to try and break the barrier she was taken away for months. I remeber hearing her screams in the middle of the night as i tried to sleep she would call my name but i could never find her. She finally returned after 5 months and she was covered in scars and blacked marks all over her arms and chest. Any time i tried to ask her about them she would scream so loud it shattered the few windows in my room. She still wont say to this day what had happened in there but the few who do never speak again. It must be horrible because they stay in complete silence theyeve been that way for years. so we all just know to never do it ever. Mines hard though because i can see things that dont want to be seen like the dead i hear thoughts that are meant to be hidden. i also see peoples emotions and i feel everuthing yet i cant tell anyne otherwise they would know and i would find out what happens to the people who use their gifts. Although down here we call them curses since they only cause pain now instead of helping others.
