WRITING ON A WHIM

I'm bored so now I present to you, Writing on a Whim!

Carlie looked out into the darkness. She couldn't sense anything. Good enough. Her coast was clear.

She moved between the trees silently. The light of the moon faintly illuminated the forest, so she knew she was getting farther and farther away.

Something shifted behind her. Carlie spun around, only to see two huge yellow eyes peering at her from the undergrowth.

In a split second she bolted away, sprinting as fast as her legs could carry her. She couldn't hear any footsteps behind her, but she, however, was making a lot of noise. Carlie cringed, thinking of how many things must have been stirring.

"Oof!"

She stood up in a flash - and regretted it. A wave of dizziness washed over her, forcing her to lean on a tree for support. When her vision cleared, she saw a boy about her age. He was extremely skinny, with shaggy golden hair covering his forehead and ears. A newsboys cap sat atop his head, slightly lopsided. His sky blue eyes were wide with shock and fear. The boy wore only a white shirt, suspenders and gray pants rolled up to his knees, which were somewhat dirty.

"Who are you?"

"She's coming." He sounded pained and hysterical.

"What?"

"She's coming. She'll take you too. You need to go. Run. She'll never know." He looked at her, genuine panic in his eyes.

"Who's she?"

"Well, hello there!" A singsong, girlish voice eerily echoed throughout the forest. His pupils shrunk.

"She's here," he whispered.

"Oh, James. You do know you can't hide from me, correct~?"

"Sidero, please! I said only for a bit!"

"Can't it start now?" The mysterious girl giggled. "A bit for us us a long time for you humans." At the end of this statement, her voice dropped its girlish quality, and the speaker instead sounded eerie and disturbed.

"Sidero...p-please..."

"You have a friend, yes? She can hear me too, you know. She is thinking about how to escape. I will let her go, but only if you promise to let me take you."

Carlie stepped back. She was scared out of her mind. She didn't know who they were, but they definitely were in no mood to help her.

"F-Fine..."

"All righty!"

The boy, presumably James, stood up, looking Carlie in the eye. He looked as if he was going to say something, but the thing - Sidero, he had called it? - interrupted.

"Tsk, tsk...we can't have anyone seeing this, can we? And since I was not blessed with the gift of memory erasing..."

Suddenly a figure appeared in front of Carlie, grinning and holding a long, skinny weapon. Carlie could only see a black dress, brown hair, unhealthily white skin, and black eyes with a tiny white pupil. The thing was glowing with a black aura.

"YOU'RE GOING TO DIE."
