little bedtime tales

One upon a time; Lily Chadwick

Once upon a time, in a magical forest full of enchantment and wonder, there lived a curious little girl named Lily. Lily had a fascination with animals and loved exploring the secrets of nature. One sunny morning, she decided to venture into the deep forest, where wild creatures dwelled.

With her trusty backpack filled with snacks and a sense of adventure, Lily set off on her journey. Little did she know, a warning whispered among the animals of the forest. They whispered about a dark force that lurked, feeding on the innocence of those who trusted too much.

Unbeknownst to Lily, the forest was under the spell of an ancient creature called the Unplugged. This wicked being had the power to drain the energy of anything electronic and trap it within itself. It craved the power that humans' devices held, and it would do anything to get it.

As Lily strolled deeper into the woods, the animals watched her with worried eyes. They knew the danger that lay ahead, but were helpless to stop her. Suddenly, her footsteps led her to a clearing where a family of rabbits gathered. They tried to warn her, hopping nervously, but Lily only saw their fluffiness and cuteness, oblivious to their distress.

The animals, desperate to protect her, attempted to guide Lily away from the Unplugged's clutches. Birds chirped warnings from the treetops, insects hummed worries through the rustling leaves, and squirrels squeaked anxious messages. But Lily, enchanted by the forest's beauty, continued deeper, innocently following the song of a mysterious melody.

As dusk approached, Lily stumbled upon a grove filled with glowing fireflies that danced in the twilight. Mesmerized, she couldn't help but follow their ethereal glow. The fireflies led her to a hidden cave nestled beneath an ancient oak tree. What she didn't know was that this was the resting place of the Dead.

As she cautiously entered the cave, a chill ran down her spine. The air turned thick with a foreboding presence. The Dead sensed her arrival and awakened from its slumber. Its eyes glowed with an eerie pale light as it emerged from the shadows.

Panicked, the animals of the forest surrounded the cave, their voices pleading for Lily to escape. But it was too late. The Dead let out a wicked cackle and unleashed its power, draining all the energy from Lily's devices. It wrapped its tendrils around her, pulling her closer until she was completely consumed by its darkness.

From that moment on, Lily was trapped, her spirit captured within the Dead. The forest mourned the loss of the curious little girl who had ventured where no one should have gone.
Where no one would have gotten hurt if it wasn't for Lily. The animals spread rumory stories of her, reminding one another about the danger.

But it's a tale after all, it's fictional right?
