Looking outside into the gloomy night seemed like de ja vu to me. Watching and waiting for the mysterious woman. Sighing heavily I grab my torch and decided to be a risk taker, I'm going to go into the forest myself and catch her!
Getting down from my window-sill quietly, I grab my jacket and converses. Opening my squeaky door the only thought running through my mind was 'Shit, need to get that oiled!' looking left and right I clamber downstairs to the front door though annoyingly it is locked. Huffing slightly I look around quietly, hoping to find the keys. Celebrating in my mind once I see them, I grab the keys from my dads desk and rush to the door unlocking it. And head out into the cold night.
Sticking my torch on I walk out into the forest. "Now nothing creepy here apart from wolves and stuff" *nervous laugh*.
Scratching the back of my neck I start to wonder about things. 'What if she is the catnapper and kidnapper?' 'What if this is her plan to lure me out?' what if's running through my mind like no tomorrow.
Shaking my head slightly as if to rid myself of these horrendous thoughts I calmly walk further and further into the forest, sounds of wildlife getting louder.
"Now just need to look for the little house" I mutter to myself, easier said than done though! There's like 6achers of forest here! Stopping suddenly I look around. Well... i'm completely and utterly lost. Which way to go? Left or right.....
Turning left I walk, I remember my mom reading me a story once it was of course from her own imagination. But she said in the story that if you ever get lost in a wide open space head left and you will meet you're destination. Of course, it's very silly that I'm following that rule now of all times especially when I can safely say it's not true. At all. (A/N while I was writing that part my dog came in and wouldn't leave for legit 20mins so I lost all progress cuz her fat-ass clicked something on my laptop and made it all delete so I had to magically rewrite all this! Not as good as the first one :( Oh well, Keep reading! And enjoy! :) )
Looking around I stop at a massive willow tree and study it, the bark is just so gorgeous it makes goosebumps appear. As you can probably tell I'm like a naturist I adore everything about nature. Apart from the dangerous animal side of it all. Keeping a steady pace I continue walking forward, not knowing where exactly I'm headed. Suddenly, all I hear is twigs snapping. Looking towards the sound I quickly hide behind a tree, sensing something.
Peaking around the corner of the tree I see no-one. Frowning slightly I turn back and I see a figure not even 15steps away from me. Eyes widening I realize all sounds in the forest cease to exist. It's as if I'm in a gigantic bubble that blocks out all sounds except blood gushing through my ears.
Stepping back slightly, my back now fully against the tree, I watch the figure. Noticing the figure is tall but has curves my mind clicks that it is a female. Popsicle Lady.
With shaky hands I shine the torch her way and call out into the dark abyss "Hello!" What a stupid thing to shout but panic is coursing through my veins. I don't know this forest, I don't know this woman and I certainly don't know her intentions.
Watching her carefully I see her come closer, tears start to blur my vision from panic.
"Hello little girl, what are you doing?" Gasping slightly I wonder, her voice is so sweet. So soothing. And as she gets closer she is dressed so elegantly and is very graceful. Eyes looking up at her in adoration I forget to even answer the simple question.
"Hey, are you okay?" Shaking my head furiously to bring myself back to reality I look at her again.
"Um.. yeh I'm fine" I shakily respond. The woman smiles widely and offers me her hand.
"If you like I could take you home, or if you wish you could stay at mine for tonight?" Both options sound magnificent but wasn't I on a personal mission here to basically stalk this woman? I suppose if I want to get far in my 'mission' I should stay at hers for the night, but not yet.
"Um, I'll go home thanks" I smile politely, watching her nod her head she leads me out of the forest.
"Hey, may I ask you're name?"
"It's Amelia." She smiles
"Well, Amelia. Maybe i'll see you some other time?" I question hopefully.
Nodding her head amelia walks off into the night. Leaving me to wonder about everything that just happened. Wow wouldn't this be a story to share with my friends at school.
Heading back inside my house i decide to search amelia's name. But then of course i realise i don't know her last name so that wouldn't be much help at all.
Sighing slightly i sit down on the floor and breathe, this night has got to be the weirdest night ever. Standing up i walk upstairs into my room and get my phone out.

Putting my phone down on my nightstand I put it on charge and run to my window-sill looking out. Looking around slightly I notice her standing there, staring at me. Although her face is blanketed by the darkness I can see that she wasn't happy like she was before. It even seemed that the air shifted with her mood. The wind now lashing violently at my window, tree branches scratching at my window like fingers scratching at glass. One last look at her then I walk back to my bed and calmly try to get my heart-beat back to normal.
20 minutes after the incident I feel myself slowly falling into a dreamless night, but before I sleep I glance at my window, seeing nothing but darkness I fall into a dreamless sleep.
