She ran into the woods branches catching at her hair. Her brother had ran past her way further than they were ever supposed to go. Where could he have possibly gone? She leaned onto an old gnarled tree trying to catch her breath when she heard something whisper to her go deeper in. As she trekked further and further in she saw his hat stuck on a branch high up, way further than either could have reached. Her breathing picked up, her heart pounded. They had heard tales from the kids at school and he never believed them.

A scream pierced the air and she lurched into action. She could do this she could save him. As she ran towards him she came upon a clearing in the forest a creature from nightmares had him held high toying with him. She ducked behind the nearest tree and stood absolutely still. The creature cocked its head at the movement and threw him down.
