~~~~~~~~~~~Thomas Sanders P.O.V.~~~~~~~
We had just arrived at our cabin this morning. We had decided after our latest video we would take a vacation in a small place in the mountains. They had a dense area of woods around it, but there were trails that could guide us.
After dinner we decided to take a walk along one of the trails.
"It's pretty nice outside for winter." Patton said.
"Indeed. Although we still need to be dressed and ready for the cold." Logan explained.
We had gotten our gear for a walk, and set out for one of the trails we heard about.
"I heard this trail is haunted, be careful." Virgil stated.
-----------------------------------15 minutes later------------------------------
Patton had picked up a stick that had a snail on it, and was smiling while being careful not to hurt or touch it.
"Look at how small it is!" Patton exclaimed.
We all agreed and kept walking, Patton putting down the stick after a while.
"Hey guys?" Virgil asked.
"Yeah?" Roman replied.
"Do you smell that?" He asked. "Smells like something is burning."
"Yes. I do smell that. I wonder why..." Logan trailed off.
"We should investigate!" Patton said.
"I don't know about that Pat." I stated. "Who knows what's going on..."
"Aw come on! It'll be an adventure!" Patton proclaimed.
"I agree with Thomas on this, it could be-" Logan started.
"Adventure awaits!" Roman announced.
Patton and Roman grabbed Virgil and Logan, and started walking.
I sighed and decided to follow.
After a few minutes of walking, Virgil spoke up.
"Something or someone, is watching us."
"I see how you would feel that way, but I assure you-" Logan had started again.
*snap*
A twig had broken.
The others quickly made a circle around me.
"Who's there?" I stated hesitantly.
Footsteps made their way towards us.
"I'm sorry misters. Kara said someone was headed my way, could be dangerous. Isn't that right Kara."
A small girl in a oversized witch hat said, standing next to a fox. She gently pat the fox, it's tail wagging slightly in approval. She wasn't wearing shoes, or socks...
"Now, state your names and why you are in my part of the forest." She continued
"Names?" I asked.
"Yes. You and the other misters. I can see them as clear as day you know." She pointed at the sides, who were still circled around me.
"How can you... see them?" I questioned her.
"First off, I'm not dumb, when I sense more than one person, I'm usually right. Second, I'm a witch. It's kind of my thing.
"A witch?! Foul beast!" Roman exclaimed, taking out his sword. The fox growled rushing in front of the girl.
The girl whispered something to the fox after walking over and crouching next to the fox. It seemed to nod and sit down
"I'm sorry. You're in my part of the forest. And I control the playing field." She grinned with her eyes closed. " Now, either you put that down, or I have my friends tear you to shreds. Ok?"
"She's right Roman. She's been here longer than we have. Plus, she hasn't attacked us, or hurt Thomas." Virgil walked to the girl, reaching a hand out. "I say we listen, so we don't get hurt."
"Thank you mister! If your friends and host would kindly back down, I can give you a place to rest for the night." The girl stated.
"Fine. Put if she pulls anything-" Roman started to threaten.
"I won't. Now if you'd follow me, we can get to safety before the real problems show up."
The others slowly lowered their guard. But tensed a bit when she said 'real problems'.
"What do you mean? I'm interested in how all of this could be possible." Logan inquired.
"Not all things can be explained simply. But in this case, walk with me and I'll tell you." She began to walk off down a beaten path, being careful to not step on anything dangerous.
We looked at each other but followed her lead.
