CHAPTER 189

189 Lost Maynard‘s Girl In The Field

“Are you crazy? We don‘t know who that person is. She could be lying for all we know. I mean, we don‘t even know what she means by she is stuck. She is right there, standing straight and tall. How the heck is she stuck?” I was trying to persuade Christina to not go into the fields. I remember Thiago had warned us of the fields.

“I don‘t know. I need to just go and check. Besides, what can she possibly do? You guys keep watching and if anything happens, just come for my rescue,” Christina wasn‘t taking it seriously. Original from .

She wasn‘t even afraid anymore.

“Think again, how can someone be stuck in the same spot for days?” I tried to kick some sense into her and only then did she stop preparing to leave and turned around to me.

We walked back to the room when she wanted to grab a jacket and leave for the fields.

“You are not wr–ong,” she finally accepted going into the fields might not be a very good idea.

“Let‘s go and look for Jessica instead,” I told her and after giving me a nod, she followed me downstairs and to the road. Even from afar, I could tell something was wrong.

The girls were huddled into one spot and whispering into each other‘s ears.

“What is going on over there?” I whispered in bafflement, I was supposed to tell them to walk away and look for Jessica instead but they seemed to have made a plan of their own.

“Where is Willow?” Christina stopped in front of them and questioned.

“Well, she had to earn our apology in some way.” Poppy shrugged her shoulders carelessly, “We sent her into the fields to guide the woman out,” once she explained what they have done, Christian and I shared a terrifying stare.

“What the fuck, Poppy? Who gave you this right to decide what punishment we want for her?” | yelled in desperation, getting on my tippy toes to discern as far as I could into the fields.

“Hey! it is probably some woman needing help. Willow got off easy,” Poppy defended herself while the others stayed silent.

“We can see her though. There she is,” Paige pointed at a figure walking towards the other woman.

“Where is that woman?” It was then I told the others that I could no longer see the other woman in the field.

“Umm! She was right there. She called again and that‘s when we sent Willow into the field,” Paige seemed to miss the commands I gave them before leaving. They did the exact opposite of it and instead of staying out of the fields, they sent Willow in there.

“There is no one here,” It was then we heard Willow shout for us and wave her phone with its flashlight on.

“Then come back,” I shouted back, feeling a weird agitation make my body shiver.

“Oka–” she was waving her arm when she suddenly pulled down and out of our sight.

“What the fuck!” we all gasped, the sight was terrifying. It was as if a strong wind came and fled her out of our sight.

“Willow!” I shouted her name, “WILLOW!” I did it again and all I got was silence.

“What have you guys done?” Christina shouted at the others, who were now realizing they might have pushed her into a deadly mess.

“Okay! Here is what we will do now. I will head into the fields while you all report back to the room.” I made sure this time they listen to me. And I bet they would. Now that they knew it was too dangerous to be out there in the woods, they were not going to repeat their mistakes.

“I will come with you,” Christina said, not letting go of my hand. How do I tell her I can take care of myself?

“Christina! I will need someone with them,” I told her but she shook her head instead.

“I am not letting you go in there alone,‘ she insisted, getting ready to walk with me into the fields.

“Listen! I can take care of myself,” I reassured her,

“Ladmire your confidence but you ar–e just a—–nomega. Which is not a bad thing but it doesn‘t give you much advantage,” she wasn‘t getting my point.

“Fine,” since I had no time to waste on this argument, I just gave in and let her follow me. The other girls had walked back after causing such a mess for us. I didn‘t know what was waiting for us in the fields but we needed to rush. I walked into the dark fields, using the flashlight to light the way. The instant we stepped in, I realized how creepy the fields were at this hour of the night.

*Help me!”

I heard a whisper,

“Did you hear that?” I asked her and she nodded.

“Hey! you have come to help me.”

We heard another whisper from a completely different direction.

“Christina! Come help me,” we heard somebody calling for her instead. It was then I noticed why they were noticing her only; she was getting lost in the whispers.

“Christina! Look at me, don‘t pay attention to the voices,” I had to cup her face and remind her these were just echoes. Whoever was causing it was trying to lure her away.

“We need to keep moving,” I told her. She was half absent at this point. Her neck was constantly moving around to spot the owner of the voices while I was able to block them out completely.

“Oh! You are not like others,” and then I heard a whisper right from behind me, but when I turned around, there was no one there.

“You can spot the difference between a hallucination and reality, don‘t you?” the person kept talking but I was now only heading forward.

“Christina! We have your brother,” and then I acknowledged they have entered her head. She stopped dead in her tracks at the claims and scorned.

“Zander!” she gasped,

“No! Christina! They don‘t have him,” I tried holding her hands but she had fought herself free.

“CHRISTINA HELP ME,” we heard Zander call for her, but it wasn’t Zander and I knew it.

I watched her tear up and step away from me, she had made a decision to part from me. We were in the middle of the fields, which was now beginning to seem like a Labyrinth.
