Where the Shadows live

CHAPTER I:

"The year was 1963," Yaroslav said as he crushed up slugs and bugs in bowls with a stick. The fire roared as he handed the two bowls to Shelly and Bernard. "Eat. It good for the body." Yaroslav said with anticipation.

Yaroslav was a witness of some paranormal sightings, recently the towns paranormal activity has been too dangerous to be in town, so they had to "camp out"... which was Yaroslav's favorite activity.

"Yaroslav, what have you noticed going on in-" Shelly was cut off.

"Shh" Yaroslav hushed. "Let me continue"

"First sight of ghost was 1963" He continued "Many people scared of poltergeist but few know about Will o' the Wisp"

Shelly and Bernard stared at the fire which started to rise as tall as the tallest man on earth. Yaroslav noticed the fire rising and threw salt at the fire. The fire calmed down and Yaroslav continued.

"Will o' the wisp cause fire and other dangerous problems." Shelly and Bernard looked up to see thick grey smoke forming above their heads. Yaroslav noticed and he clapped his hands for their attention.

All of a sudden there was a crack in the woods near them. Yaroslav threw water at the fire and Shelly and Bernard hurried to their items and grabbed them. Yaroslav grabbed a bag of salt and threw it on his back.

They rushed out of the woods as they heard whispers and trees falling nearby. A tree fell in front and they were trapped. Under all the smoke Yaroslav coughed and reached into his pocket and grabbed a small pocket knife. He flicked the blade up then slit open a hole in the bag and sprinted along the fire to keep the Will o' the Wisp away. Yaroslav grabbed Shelly and Bernard and ran through an opening salt still falling out of the bag. The opening led them out of the forest when they looked back the fire took over the forest.

              "Yaroslav, how much does that happen?" Shelly asked filled with adrenaline.

               Yaroslavl didn't answer but didn't let go of their arms. He dragged them to the abandoned village nearby and found shelter in a small lumber store. That's when Yaroslav looked back and Shelly and Bernard's mouths dropped.
