Darkness In The Woods.

Jodie and Joelle explored the woods, In calling distance per their mother's request. Nine year's old and they feared nothing. What was there to fear when all you knew was innocents?.

The sun was a faded memory, Amist the tall calling of the trees. Their sky view concealed by the falling branches, With limited light they let their imagination stray.

" I am the wicked wolf " Shouted Joelle.
" I'll get you, Deep in the night. When the moon is full ".

"Oh no you won't " Jodie shouted back.
" Not when I have the secret powers of witchcraft to beat you! "
They ran for hour's,Chasing their own shadows. Laughing at their own jokes. Completely Surrendered to the endless possibilities the mind of a child could conduct. The game's that they played, To you or I they would be pure fiction. However to them, They would be an event as real as the sun is hot.

The air grew colder, Not from the shaded sun. Nor the gust full wind, But from something chilling and sinister. The girl's felt it travel up their spine. Making the tiny and delicate hairs on their small and fragile bodies stand up. Frozen where they stood, Afraid to turn, Afraid to see who's eye's they could feel imprinting on them from behind. They did it together, Turning slowly to reveal another little girl standing behind them. Pale at the face, Black at the eye's and blue at the lip's, She stood low to the ground, With a beaten up old teddy in one hand. A white nightdress which fell to her ankles. Black hair covered her face. This little girl was unlike any other. A sight to fear. Raising her only free hand she point's to them, Calling them near.

" P-p-play with me! " She stuttered as she all of a sudden was three steps closer without taking a step at all, She perished like a flickering being. Her being stuttering, Just like her words. Broken and jumpy like an old tv. The twin's could not run, They could not scream. Instead they looked on, Trying to make sense of this girl. This alone and bone chilling girl.

" B-b-be my friend! " The girl asked again. This time directly in front of them, A short distance from their face.

"Okay" Jodie muttered, Unsure if her choice is wise.

"What do you want to play" Joelle asked curious, In a broken voice. They was taught to be nice too all, Was it a lesson they would soon regret?.

" H-h-hide and seek at the well!" Again, Stuttering her words. Now ten feet away, In the blink of an eye. Longing them in another directing for the woods. Far away from home.

"But there is no well here" The twins said at the same time, Followed by a giggle of speaking fluently together. The little girl did not respond, Instead she moved further away, Awaiting the girls to follow.

Deep into the woods, Darkness began to fall. The twin's followed the menacing little girl to a well, Stood tall in the centre of the wood's. Immeasurable and dark, Nine meters wide but a hundred feet deep. The twin's only saw a bottomless pit with know sense of depth. Old and broken at the cement.

"How do we play?" Joelle asked while peaking over the Edge, Into the darkness. Tall on her tippy toes.

Hot on her shoulder, The little girl was right behind her. Pushed up against her back. Looking over her shoulder.

"W-w-we hide."
Pushing her over the edge, Joelle fell the hundred feet into the darkest part of the well. The cold and blood-Curdling bottom to which upon falling echoed out a bone shattering sound. A taken back Jodie screamed,  Rushing to the wells side.

"Joelle" She screamed in terror.

"Your turn!" The Alarming little girl shouted, In control and stutter free. In a voice which terrified even the wild life as the birds high in the sky took of flying in fear. Pushing Jodie over the edge too, This time echoing out a sound of blood splatter on flesh. As Joelle had cushioned her fall.

Dead and helpless, They lay broken and cold.

"One, Two, Three" The little girl sung as she skipped away...

" Ready or not. Here I come ".
