Zac. Dead. This isn't happening.

I ran through the woods and through the back door of the house. I ran through the house until I just couldn't run anymore. I dropped to my knees in the midle of the house. Which happen to be the den. 

Ryan and Aaron ran over and looked at me. 

''Are you alright?" Ryan asked.

I shook my head and caught my breath. "Zac's dead." I said still panting a little.

"What." Ben said.

"He's dead. I saw him hanging by his necklace at the top of the gate in the woods." I said.

I stayed on the ground. I didn't want to move. I was just so shocked. 

"But he always has a weapon with him." Ben said. I could tell he was just as shocked as I was.

But Ben was right. Zac always had a weapon on him. Wheather is was a pocket knife, his scythe, a gun, or a sword he always had some sort of weapon with him. Then why is this time any diffrent? He knows how to defend himself. He can fight with any type of weapon! Why is he dead?!

Next thing I know I had tears rolling down my cheeks. Ben walked over and pulled me into his arms. "It's alright." Ben said.

"He shouldn't be dead though. He always has weapons and he can fight." I said trying to not freak out.

"Alice. Your shaking again." Ben said.

I always start to shake when I get freaked out, nervous, or I don't know what to do. "Come on. We better get his body down." Ryan said.

He grabbed James and another guy and we all walked out there. They got Zac's body down I smelt the most disgusting smell. Angels.

"Angels are inside the gate." I said.

"How do you know?" Ryan asked.

"She's part malfested. Malfesteds can sense the angels." James explained.

"They. Have. To. Be. Near." I said between caughs.

"We better let the guards handle this one. Alice doesn't need to be out here." Ryan said.

"You guys can search for the angels. I'll take Alice back." The guy that Ryan brought along said.

"Alright. Alice this is my awesome friend Chase." Ryan said.

I nodded and started walking back to the house with Chase following behind me. I walked into the house and started walking upstiairs but Chase grabbed my arm. I turned around and looked at him.

"Um. I've never told anyone this but. I'm part malfested too. So if you need any help figuring something out I'd be happy to help." Chase said smiling.

"Thanks. How about me and you hang out tomorrow. I can help you with any grim reaper things you need. Mostly fighting though." I giggled.

"Okay. Meet me at the library. I can start helping you out with the whole malfested thing." Chase replied.

I nodded and walked up the three flights of stairs and up to my room. Max was gone. I shrugged and sat at my desk and turned on my laptop. I typed in my password quickly and went to google. I typed malfested into the search bar and a ton of pages popped up. I clicked on the first one and started reading some of it.

It said:

Malfesteds were created to protect to ledgendary demon sword also known as soul edge. It was kept at souls edge. Nightmare was the holder of the soul edge sword until it chose a new holder. A girl named Pyrrah. Pyrrah was taken from her brother by Tira who was making her kill. The killing made her malfested side take over. Then she disappeared one day.

No one knows what happened to her. Everyone says that she returned to soul edge killing whoever tried to save her from the malfested side that took her over. 

No one even knows where soul edge is located. The legdend says that if your part malfested and you really want to know and see soul edge that your heart will lead you to it. No one knows if any of this is true but there are malfesteds out there. 

They came to be in the 1800's. The first one was found and was killed because of witch craft. Ever since then no one has come forword saying that they are part or full malfested.

__________________________

No wonder no one wants to tell people they are malfested. Just then my phone went off. I ignored it and went back to thinking about malfesteds.

Pyrrah. I think I've head that name before. Pyrrah. I know I've heard that name somewhere. And if I haven't heard it then I've seen it in a book or something. Pyrrah, Pyrrah, Pyrrah, PYRRAH!

I have seen the name before! I checked out a book from the library once about legends that no one talks about anymore. That's where I've heard the word malfested! Her brother went to check on her one day but she was gone. He went on this whole hunt to find her. When he did it was to late for her. He tried to make it seem like nothing had happened but she was just to dagerous to be around. So one day she ran away to soul edge. Her brother had the good sword. I don't remember what it was called though. And I don't remember his name.

I never thought I would be apart of the same clan thing as that Pyrrah girl. But looks like I am. And to think there is another person like me. Chase. He was part grim reaper part malfested too! And he must know a lot more than me. But he's going to teach me about it tomorrow in the library. But I never got his number. Or what time I'm supposed to meet him. 

So I called Ryan.

"Hello?" He answered out of breath.

"Hey. I hate to desturb you and all but What is Chase's number?" I asked/

"Oh yea. In your desk there should be a piece of paper that has a bunch of cell phone numbers on it. Max wrote them down for you. Chase's number should be there." Ryan explained.

"K. Thanks." I said and then hung up.

So I looked in my desk and the top drower was the piece of paper. So I texted him asking what time to meet him. A few second later he replied. He said meet him at the library after breakfast. 

After that I closed the google tab and closed my laptop. I layed on my bed thinking about the Pyrrah girl. 

Eventually I just stopped wondering about her and took a nice hot shower. 

After I got out I wrapped myself in a towel and brushed my hair. After that I slipped into a pair of red sweatpants and a purple tank top. After that I threw my towel and dirty clothes into my hamper. Then I started rearanging my room. I moved some things around, Threw out a few things here and there, and then went through my entire woredrobe. 

After that was done I sat on my bed and looked at my entire room. I decided I liked it the way it was now. 

It was clean and didn't look like I had just moved in two point five seconds ago. 

It actually looked like I had been living here my entire life. And that's the way I liked it. It was my room now. It actually felt like I lived here. 

After fixing up my room I layed on my bed and listened to the music on my Iphone. It was mostly Sleeping With Sirens and Pierce The Veil. But it also had some other bands like Paramore, All American Rejects, Fall Out Boy, and a bunch more.
