Tales of Crazy: RusAme short stories

Cursed?

*Rusame*

It's my seventh birthday today!

We go to the park after cake.

I start playing with some kids while Mama and Papa talk.

We get close to the woods. I can't see Mama and Papa through the playground.

Suddenly I get grabbed.

I start trying to get away, but I'm quickly taken deeper and deeper into the woods.

We stop when we reach the edge of an extremely foggy area. The man says "These parts of the woods are cursed by the evil fog. If you even touch it, you'll be cursed."

Then he throws me into the fog.

I hear him run away.

I look around. I can't see anything because it's too foggy.

I stand up, turning around and trying to get out of the fog, but there's an invisible wall stopping me.

I turn around, scared, and start walking deeper into the fog.

I step on something and fall down. My ankle hurts a lot.

I start crying quietly.

I want Mama.

I want Papa.

I want to go home.

It hurts.

I hear leaves crunching and cover my mouth.

They get closer to me.

I can see a blurry thing standing over me.

I my hand moves away from my mouth and I continue crying.

The thing leans closer to me.

I look up at it. "H-Hurt-"

It tilts its head.

I point to my ankle. "H-Hurts.."

I get picked up as the creature carries me somewhere.

A cave.

It goes inside and sets me on something fluffy. The fog doesn't come in here.

I hug the fluffy thing. It looks like a giant wolf.

It's warm.

I look over at the creature. It looks like a person, but taller and with horns.

It's mixing something.

I smush my face into the giant wolf's fluff. It's soft and warm.

The creature finishes mixing the thing, then pulls up my pants leg and takes off my shoe.

It hurts.

The creature pushes my foot so it's facing the right way and I cry loudly because it hurts.
