Emmie
Fen said he was going to use the restroom. Emmie said she would wait 45 minutes later he was still not back. Jessy sat with her hands behind her head and Zavia was Pacing up and down.
"Where IS he?" Zavia asked angrily.
"My mom's going to kill me if I don't make it home by curfew." Jesse said. Zavia paced more while Jessy and Emmie played Pick up sticks. Twenty five minutes later Zavia and Jessy were sleeping and Emmie was looking over her work.
"Hey guys want to hear a ghost story," Emmie said. Jessy sat up and Zavia nodded.
"Well here is the legend of the wendigo." Emmie said in her best announcers voice.
The legend of the wendigos
The Wendigo was once a human, but after being forced to eat deer flesh to survive, it becomes a monster that retained none of the human features that it once possessed. After it's transformation they begin to crave animal souls and feed solely on them.
Although its name is described as an 'evil spirit', it's technically a creature. At the same time. The Wendigo is an embodiment of gluttony, greed and excess; never satisfied after eating a soul, it is constantly searching for new victims. It is also common that the wendigo just captures souls to hoard their food, and then eat them when hungry.
The Wendigos are rarely seen outside of Minnesota or north of Michigan. They are hundreds of years old, and they also have hibernation behavior during long cold winters they must survive-- meaning they must hoard food if it's scarce. In addition, they keep their victims in dark and isolated places, such as caves or abandoned mines.
