The Boy and I

Preview

      I was walking through the woods on a windy, sunny day. The wind blows my hair around I shiver in my light weight white dress with a little blue cape that shows a little fluff around the neck. I stopped walking and saw a little peek of a roof. Huh i've never seen a cottage there before. Pushing through the needle bushes and then brushing myself off of the prickly needles. Looking up when I spotted a cottage. Not much bigger than a miniature  home. I didn't want to go to it, but I guess curiosity took over my body and I slowly walked towards it, facing back multiple times.

BANG!! A cooled shiver runs down my spine and I flinch as a boy around my age walks out of the house, his hands covered in blood. What is going on?! I think to myself. The boy turns his head in my direction slightly. I coward behind a tree waiting for him to say something. Nothing comes out of his mouth, instead he walks back inside. He was greeted with yelling that erupted through the walls. Panic took over my body and I screamed, which made the other yelling stop. My eyes were shut and I squinted one open, expecting to see the worst. The boy walked out of the house, hands bloody and tears streaming down his pale cheeks. At that moment I noticed him coming towards me, as I took not to that he could see my long, flowing white dress and I pull back breathing heavily as I worry and tears fall down my own face.

"Please don't hurt me," I pleaded and I he smiled, moving closer.

"Why did you scream?" He asked. I looked at him and shrugged.

"What's your name?" I question him.

"Chris."

"Cecilia."

"CHRIS!!!!! GET BACK IN HERE, YOUR PUNISHMENT ISN'T OVER!!" A voice bellowed and shakes the windows.

"What's going on," I ask in a fearful tone.

"uummm..." He rubs his neck and doesn't answer.

"CHRISSSSSSSSS!!!!!" This whoever bellows again." I WILL COME OUT THERE! I'M NOT AFRAID!!"

"Run, go and hide Cecilia." Chris hollers over his shoulder and runs back to the shack. I run with all my might until I trip on a twig, I tumble to the ground with a grunt and look at my dress.

"Mother is going to kill me!" I sighed, remembering what she said before I left,' a princess does not go into the woods to explore! Although your young still, so just be careful and don't get that dress dirty! Someone smiles down at me. The smile isn't a smile though, it's a creepy smirk. An icy chill starts at my neck and then slowly goes down my spine after I jump from fright.

"Who are you?" I ask. "Do you need help? I can help you."

"Sure I could use your help" She smiles more tenderly and look behind her back at something she's holding. It looks brown, with the strings coming apart, it is bundled up in her fist. She takes my hand and hands me the bag telling me to look inside. I do and take out a necklace, yes! I love necklaces!

"Do you like it?" She cocks her to the side and I smile." You can keep it, it was for someone else, but I can tell you like it better"

"Thanks!" I squeal and she puts on my neck.

"There, all good."

       We walk and talk for awhile until I start to get tired. It's only 3:00pm, but maybe the walk tired my out. I ask to sit down and she laughs, but doesn't say no. We talk on the log we are sitting on until my eyes close and I fall into a deep slumber, the light turns to dark and shadows pierce my vision. I soon don't care about getting home and forget everything as my eyes finish to close.......
