I turned to Leaves.
"C'mon lets go!" I yell over the heavily blowing wind and run down the mountain. I see many happy looking people in the streets and grin widely. Then I fell. I laughed as I began to tumble down the hill and I could see a worried look on Leaves face. When we reached the bottom I looked into the dirt road leading into the village and saw... Nothing. I glanced at Leaves.
"Weren't there people here before?" I asked him with a hint of confusion in my voice.
"I didn't see anyone" he replied.
I shrugged it off and wandered into a house. It looked a bit old but I didn't think anything of it.
"Hello?" I whispered opening the door. It was dark and I received no answer. I crept through the home worried about things that could be lurking. I'd always been scared of the Dark even though I'm 16. I walked into the darkest part of the house and felt something wet on my foot. I saw a window that was closed on the other side of the room and I decided to open it. My foot moved slowly because of the thick liquid on the floor. Curious to what it was I opened the blinds. And screamed at what was revealed to me.
