There's an old story about the woods outside of town. Some say it's an old wives tale to scare children, others say they've witnessed it.

The story goes that many years ago, long before you or your parents were even thought about, there was a little girl named Colette Larrivee. She couldn't have been more than four or five when this happened. Colette loved to play outside and explore. Her mother didn't mind it much, she only had one rule. Never, EVER, go into the woods. Colette being the sweet child of innocence she was, always nodded and said without question, "Ok mommy, I won't!" And with a smile, she would always sit back down and draw pictures, watching her mom look out the window.

Her older brother, Samuel, was a caring soul I'll admit that. He always longed for adventure, something outside their little house. He always listened to his mother when she said never to venture into the deep abyss of the forest, but one day he couldn't help himself. As soon as he saw what was in these woods, he didn't want to leave. The crystal blue steams, the majestic animals, the rainbow of flowers. He felt at home. But he knew he couldn't stay. With a sigh, he turned to head back home. Someone blocked his path. It was a man. He looked to be about in his mid forties, black greasy hair. His eyes continuously darted to the left and right. "I know a way you can stay.." he said, a devious smirk stretching across his face. Samuel was ecstatic! All he had to do was bring Colette to the man so he could watch her, and he would be able to come back and play whenever he wanted!!

If he left Colette home by herself she would tell mother where he had gone, so he had to get her to the man fast. So, he raced at top speed all the way home. As soon as he got there, he persuaded Colette to follow him, promising her a game of tag if she did. With a laugh and nod, she raced along side him. As soon as they reached the meadow, the man came into view. Telling Colette to go to him and reassuring her safety, he handed her over.

The man latched his boney hands around her small arm, dashing away with her. "Hey! Get back here that wasn't the deal!!" Samuel cried, running after them. Colette sobbed and screamed, only to get pulled harder when she did so. The man was too fast, so Samuel fell behind. When he arrived to where the man had taken her, he was too late. Colette stood in the middle of the forest floor, fear in her tiny emerald eyes. A group of Blood Angles surrounded her.

Blood Angles are like the grim reaper. The only difference? They only come to take away sacrifices....
More specifically, children.

Samuel knew it was too late, what little innocence he had was ripped away then. The Blood Angles ripped little Colette apart right before his eyes, then man cackling as he Angles gave him the little girl's blood as a reward. Samuel, with hot tears streaming down his face, sprinted home.

He should've listened....
The Angles always get what they want...
They always get the children they see...
So never, EVER, go to those woods....
Because if they see you...
Your dead for sure....
