I stay completely still, the view is beautiful, the small stones adorn the trees and from the west of the cabin, a path forms that apparently leads to the river.

The cabin looks beautiful, the green glow makes it look cozier, I can also see lights inside. Suddenly, all the words I yelled at him come to mind, how rude I was and I'm sorry for everything I said, I want to knock on the door but I stop, Randall must be mad at me and now I can't even look him in the face.

She approaches the cabin to see if I was gone but she is surprised to see the crystals light up all the way to the river, through the window I can see that It does not move from her place and that her face changes with surprise and joy to a sad one, it just turns and returns the same way it came -Hahaha in your face little witch- I say with satisfaction, I took a good part of the morning placing the stones on the road, I also had to go to the river for more because my cabin to I needed lighting. I feel comfortable having done what I did, I don't need wealth or being surrounded by people who will only love me for what I have, besides that this place is beginning to please me, why would I want to leave here? And it's not like I have anywhere else to live.

I take the dirty clothes, my bucket and I go to the river, which has become my favorite place although I still have a lot of the forest to go. On the way, I go humming that melody that I always hear from her but I notice something new, around the stones there are those "floating flowers" that I saw in the river, I get closer and they are not just flowers! They are like little people and their skin tone is a very soft blue, of all the books I have read I have never seen anything like it, they hide behind the leaves but it is too late, one of them peeks out, I smile at and she does the same, I decide not to bother them because I don't want to be scold, but I make a mental note for then ask her, many new things are a mystery to me.

I get to the river and I start to wash the clothes in the bucket because I don't want to dirty the water, I have also thought that it can disturb the creatures of the water, after washing it I go to the waterfall, it which reminds me that I also have to ask her if I can Coming here every day, while I refresh myself under the waterfall I can see that there are shiny stones behind it, only they are a little bigger and darker, apparently in this forest, those stones abound.

I finish bathing and return to the cabin, I am very hungry, when I go back I pick more berries, I do not eat them because I will leave them for tomorrow and I plan to eat the ones that are at home.

And so they spend a week or two in total tranquility and without finding me it her.

─────────────────❃ꕥ❃─────────────────

I am calm picking berries for my lunch when I hear the cry of, a child? I immediately follow the direction where it came from and in a few minutes I find a child sitting under a tree with his knees to his chest, I try to talk to him but He doesn't respond, I get a little closer I'm going to put my hand on his head but before I know it, I feel some arms stop me.

It's her.

-What happens? -I ask missed- Don't worry, he just must be lost.

-Don't touch them for anything in the world! -she yells very upset- Don't touch them, doesn't talk to them, doesn't even get close to them!

I remain totally static without understanding why his concern, I think that he is only a child and that in this forest anyone can be lost or in the worst case is only a soul in pain and he cannot hurt me. When she sees that I am not moving, she separates from me, looks at me very seriously, and when I think that she will tell me something else, an owl arrives and perches on her shoulder, apparently talking to her, turns around and leaves. That has been very strange but in my mind, I only think, Where did the child go? I no longer see or hear him anywhere, I give up and go to the cabin, she owes me many explanations.

I walk a while more and again I hear a cry but this time it is that of a girl, really this is already getting weird, but I am heading to the place where the sob comes from. Before I put my hand on the girl, I think about what the hooded woman told me but I can't leave a lost girl crying like I don't care.

Everything in front of me is clouded, I feel an unimaginable pain in my head, I can't take it anymore until I feel a very dark presence in me and a deep voice tells me:

-Hi disgraced soul, today is your lucky day

-Who .. who are you ?!, What are you doing inside my head?

-I, I am the solution to all your problems, dirty dragged, you were lucky enough to meet me, I can give you everything you need, great mansions, women, wealth, anything you want you just have to ask and I will do it for you.

-Get out of me! I don't want anything, just go!

-No no no, my boy, don't you be naive, are you sure you don't want anything? Not even take revenge on the being who ruined your life?

-How do you know that?

-I know everything, now I am part of you and I can give you the necessary power to end all the useless ones who humiliated you.

-With everyone?

-Yeah, with everyone! you will have their heads under your feet, they will cry out to you to spare their lives and they will eat the dust of your shoes, you will see their blood flow and you will delight in their suffering because disgusting beings like them do not deserve continue living. All that in exchange for something very simple and small, you just have to let me dwell in your body, I will be your faithful companion and no one will ever hurt you or will do lack anything, give me total control, and together will be unstoppable.

-No I can not...

My head is about to burst, but I can't let myself be defeated, I'm not like that, I don't want revenge, I just want my quiet solitude. Suddenly I can hear the hoot of owls and can only think of her.

-Noooo! -I scream in total despair- ¡Please help!

-Leave him alone! -someone yells- Don't let them control you!

I feel someone take my hand and I know who it is

-Too late hahaha

And I am no longer the one who controls my body...
