3. Curious encounters

       "Follow me!" A little brown haired girl cheered her hand extended out to Jess. The moonlight shining on her face. "Come now!" she dragged Jess through trees. The girl had her right eye covered with her brown hair and a very baggy white outfit almost blending in with the ground along with a black and orange sweatshirt. Jess tried to get her to stop but it was pointless, she refused to. The snow being crushed under their feet caused their footsteps to become loud. 

       When the girl no longer ran, Crimson took over the bone white snow. Their face was covered by brown hair their gray sweatshirt appeared ripped up. Weapons were left in their head and chest a grisly sight. Soon the sound of a heartbeat thumping started and it became louder and louder. Jess steadily, very very steadily, moved backward lightly pulling the child away. The little girl however fell and stumbled back to the crimson ground. She put her little hand by the hair and moved it.

       Some burns were visible as their green eyes glowed in the darkness. Jess gagged at the sight of the horrific burns, the right eye appeared to be popping out of the socket. 

      "K-kid get away from their!" Jess stuttered attempting to cover her ears as the beating got louder and tried to hold her throw up. The beating of the heart became louder- louder unbearable.

       The girl twisted her head back to face Jess. Her head tilted to the side. She knelt down by the bloody sight. Her knees becoming bloodstained and she faced the body once more. She hastily plunged her hand deep into the eye, blood, the dark red liquid splashing on her face. The skull beginning to shatter the skin. The beating gently became a whisper until it finally deceased.

       Gagging Jess rushed to her and tugged her away from the scene. She gripped the girl's blood-soaked hands trying to see what on earth she tried to remove from the head. All that fell out of her hand was a bloody pocket watch and a paper soaked in blood. Jess picked up the paper and tried reading it.

       The child boomed with laughter. In shock, she grabbed them by the sleeves that dragged on the ground. The kid gradually stopped and grinned. Jess moved her hair to the side a sparkling green glowed from her right eye. Jess loosened her grip and couldn't stop staring. 

       The minor tugged her arm away, picked up the pocket watch, and ran off. However, with the ground slipping from under her feet, Jess fell. Though just before everything faded she managed to decipher that "Lola" was what the paper read. 

       Jess woke up in a cold sweat. Cautiously she glanced at both sides of her. She snatched her computer trying to find information about any possible bodies recently discovered in the woods, maybe she overheard someone talking about something close to this subject.
