ALONE IN THE WOOD

 

Kate couldn't remember how she got to the woods, the last thing she remembers was returning home from school and going to her room to change. She was baffled and couldn't even identify any landmarks and she believes she hasn't been in the area before.

While she was contemplating she turned around and was shocked to see darkness approaching from her back slowly in a steady stream, then she looked around a gasped when she noticed both sides of the path she was, shrouded by a thick mist. She whimpers and tries to call out but the darkness threatens with a sudden snarl and she retreats running forward away from home and safety. She kept running with tears and sweat streaming down and blinding her, but she never dared to stop especially when she heard a mad cackling laughter in the mist, she put on more effort trying to outrun the darkness and the mist. Suddenly she saw a kid of three a few distance she ran with her last strength full of hope knowing there was a kid, there was an adult. She ran and tried to call the kid but the kid could pay her no attention because her back was facing Kate.

Kate ran more and when she reached the kid she was slow and called her.

Hello... Where are your parents?

But the kid neither turned nor answered her. She tentatively moves an inch and places her hands on the kid's shoulder. And then the kid turned and Katstumbledle with a whimper and a sudden gasp she hit the ground, she could not believe her eyes. The kid has no face, there is no eye or nose, neither is there any mouth for her face is faceless. Kate tried to scream but no words came out of her mouth and then the kid turn and pointed toward Kate.

As she turned her head she couldn't hold the terror that flooded her and her face contorted with such fear she lost her grip. Standing behind her was a face right out of a nightmare, the head was big in a skull shape with no skin but bones, the right eye socket was larger than the left, blood was dripping from the right eye, and the left eye was dripping with maggots. The mouth is large with a set of pointed teeth and the breath that comes out of the mouth of something long dead. The skull is split in the middle with fluids spilling out.

He snarl and laughs with a sound like two stones grating together.

Kate nearly gags when the thing clamps a claw-like hand on her neck with a viciousness that takes the breath out of her.

So Kate who will you choose between No Face Bunny and handsome face me it asked. But know this, there is a rule, if you chose no face Bunny, you will be dead in twenty-four hours it cackled and if you chose me, your mum will sacrifice her life to save you he whispered to her.

Kate whimpered and tried to shout, as she opened her mouth the darkness envelop her and then she was screaming No No No.......when she opened her eyes she was on her bed waking up from a nightmare while her mum was standing at her door with a look of concern on her face.

Kate was relieved to know it was only a dream. As she stood up from bed and went to the bathroom she saw writing in the mirror. ARE YOU SURE IT IS ONLY A DREAM? DREAMS CAN BE REALITY YOU KNOW.

She fainted.....
