A Challenge

[Juliana D'cheyne]

The forest and towns have an unexpected number of arrows in trees appear. When looking closer they all hold parchments with the same eloquent writing on them.

To the spirit that tortures the dead I send a challenge. Leave my love alone and let him go in peace, quit being the coward you are and show yourself!
Juliana

Finishing her mission, Juliana walks with anger and determination to one of her hiding places. Making sure she is alone, she lays her head on bent knees with arms wrapped around them while allowing the frightening experience to come to the forefront of her mind.

I'm sorry, I wish I could do more, I miss you!

Juliana begins to cry.
