Caught in the forest - Prologue

Charlie lived with her parents in an old spooky shack in the middle of a dark forest. She was 15 years of age but was not allowed to go out after dark under any circumstances. Dangerous happenings occurred at night and Charlie could sometimes hear distant howls and blood curdling screams. Tonight was a night like any other.

She lay in bed, quarter to three, trying to force the noises of the forest out of her mind and go to sleep. It wouldn't work though so she decided to get a glass of milk. She always wondered exactly why her parents bought this house, if you could even call it that. The floors creaked, the walls groaned, and sometimes it would seem as though the wind was talking to you. Charlie always found this off putting and incredibly creep; especially when she was trying to sleep. As she put her now empty glass next to the sink, she crept up the wooden stairs hoping to make as little noise as she could. It was to no avail as the stairs produced a low and horrific growl; almost similar to that of an animal. Scared out of her wits, she ran the rest of the way to her bedroom. She didn't have to worry about rousing her parents. They were deep sleeprs and never seemed to hear the noises of the night.
