The Hidden Forest

Chapter 11

We both walked slowly, vines  rapped around our hands. We both had vines around our stomach under our shirts, vines around our knuckles and vines running down our legs and behind us. We were sure to make everything tight so we wouldn't be injured badly.

"Give us the necklace mama!" I shouted. I heard footsteps behind us and we both stopped. We turned around and faced mama. She was wearing the necklace and it was slowly turning the chain black and not its natural silver colour.

The heart was still silver but the dark colour was slowly taking over.

She was turning it into something dark. I watched the necklace grow tighter around her neck.

I reached out to touch it but she grabbed my wrist. Her purple vains were now close to my face, I wasn't thinking straight.

Linzy appeared again but was now covered in bruises  and blood. "Please" she whispered "help me"

A tear slipped down my cheek as I reached out to her.

I shook my head,clearing the thought. Mama was looking down and her hands were twitching.

I had to do something. I couldn't go easy.

I lifted up the long vine and rapped it around her one arm. I then did it to the other and the same with the feet. She was stuck and couldn't move now. I was about to grab the necklace when I heard something.

"Mama" I heard several voices behind us. We both spun around to see little kids walking slowly toward us. They all has the same purple vains sticking out their arms and the ripped clothes. Londie gasped looking afraid. There was about 16 of them. From the ages 9 to 12

They all reached out with there hands "mama"

Mama looked up at the sky and screamed. I could now see her face for a second. She had firey red eyes and dark red lips. I backed away but hit somebody. The kids grabbed onto me with their hands and held onto me tightly.

"Mama" they said in sync.

"No!" I screamed. Londie ran quickly but not without screaming "I'm getting help"

The kids starting pulling me toward the river "mama" they said again. The one girl looked up at me with bright blue eyes "mama" she said, a tear running down her cheek. They all started pushing me into the river except for the one girl that had cried. She looked to be about 9 or even 8.

I looked at the chain one more time before I was chucked into the water. I closed my eyes and let my body sink. It felt as if I had rocks in my shoes. I was so caught up in thought that I didn't realise the little girl swimming down toward me.
I closed my eyes again, battling to breath.

When I opened my eyes I was at the surface staring at the little girl. Her bright blue eyes sparkling as she smiled at me. "I'm boe" she said happily. "B-but y-your with mama" I said.

She looked down sadly "you is mama"
