“I’m sick of it. So fucking sick of it. I can’t let my brother get to my head, not like this. He owes us like, three, four rabbits? And he hasn’t even bothered hunting for months. What is he trying to do? Piss us off? Well, Logan, it sure is working. Your family is dying because of you, your father is too damn stuck up drinking in the pub and you know I can’t hunt, they’ll go after me. I can’t let my family die. Not like this.”

She continues her stroll along the woods, bow at her side, careful and steady not to make a noise. It may seem like just the woods but, not for Leah. She hears a little creature climbing up a tree and she froze, daring not to move. She can’t seem to place her eyes on it, but she hears it rapidly jumping from treetop to treetop. It’s almost as if it was invisible.

“N-no… it can’t be..” Her breath is shaky, and she’s fighting the urge not to run away when all of a sudden the critter stopped. Silence filled the entire forest. She knows what’s coming for her. What should have killed her years ago but just couldn’t seem to be satisfied with her just yet. She lost the ability to move. She try’s to call for help but, it’s just too late. It’s always been too late, the witch tries to explain but gets cut off by what seems to be a monkey, the little creature who was jumping to and from.

“Run. get to your family.” The monkey-like creature wraps its tail around the witch’s neck and Leah runs faster then she ever did in her life. She’s stumbling so hard that she doesn’t even notice what she tripped on, something not forest-like, it seemed. She turned around only to see the thing she tripped on. Her own dead body. Looking up from the cracks between the treetops she sees a big shadow overtake her entire town. She’s sprinting now, the only thing on her mind is Logan and her dad. “Are they okay? Will I get there in time?”

She makes it to their little cabin and speeds for the door, but something stops her. Logan’s voice, coming from behind her, whispers, “I’ve been waiting for you.” An un human-like chuckle came from him as Leah realizes she didn’t make it in time.
