The Widow Among the Woods

The dread

She smiled as he jumped into her arms. Christan fell down as she laughed.

"Sorry, love. I wasn't able to visit you due to some ... reasons."

She made a face. Lupus looked at her with curiosity.

"Nah, they ain't that seriously and you don't need to know plus I have got you some apples. Your favourites."

Lupus ears perked up at the word apples. Christan laughed happily

'Here you go. You love them, don't you?"

She watched as the young animal feasted. Lupus could survive on his own, but he was too young to be left unattended.

"I am glad I left you extra food or you would have started to die. Who knows how long this problem is going to continue?

Lupus gave her the does-it-look-like-I-care? look and went back to eating. She smiled. But she had to go soon.

I will stay a little bit longer. It is not going to kill anyone.

"Do you know that Ma and Pa have been getting dead threats. It seems dangerous. I mean of course it is but why? I mean what have they done to get this. All they do is help people. Are they hiding something? It is crazy to think that they are hiding something, so that is why they got dead threats, but something seems off. So, I did a little research and pulled up their schedules."

"They were busy for months then they were free for 2 months and they didn't visit me at all. Like they visit me after every 2 to 3 years. While they are free for 4 months a year. They must do something in that time and it ain't making sense. Then this wacko lady came up and went like, Ohhh I am so cool, and you are no one. Hahahaha!"

"Then she wants me to tell her some story cause she is one crazy beast and then is so like hahahaha and she seems so evil. She must be. I hate her already. Have you seen how she walks! With such elegance and it looks like she owns the world or something. Or the way she moves her hands! Back and forth like she is the queen."

Lupus looked at her.

"Aren't you over reacting? Isn't that how you hoomans move? How else she is suppose to move her hands?"

Christan groaned.

"Of course, that is how they move but... still"

"No buts and still. It is the law of nature my love."

Lupus gave her the goofy smile.

"YOU AIN'T SERIOUS ABOUT THIS! SHE IS DISTURBING NATURE BY WALKING!"

"So are you saving nature by walking."

"Well, no. 1 yes I am. No. 2: STOP.MESSING. WITH.YOUR. FOOD!"

"Nah and they is nothing you can do to stop me!"

Lupus pushed his food around as it were a ball.

Christan gave him the-are-you-serious-smile.

She sighed.

"You crazy thi-"

The loud drumming of drums started. This meant someone was murdered. Christan heart leaped. Lupus whined.

"It is okay, buddy. Go in your hiding spot. I will see what has happened. I hope it just a drill. I love yah"

Christan kissed Lupus as she rushed back. Her heart was beating fast. All random thoughts were coming in her minds.

What if it is my parents or Ms Hudson?

Christan ran towards and over the black line. She rushed towards her parents' mansion. People were surrounding the house. She saw the doctors rush in the house.

Oh God please no.

On the way she bumped into Ava.

"Chrissy, Don't. Don't go. Please."

She tried to push her back.

"Tell me why people are surrounding my house?"

Ava was crying uncontrollably.

"No." She whispered. "Don't go."

"Ava!" Christan voiced turned cold and stern as she stared in Ava's eyes. "What. Is. Going. On?" She gritted her teeth.

Ava shook her head, crying.

Christan pushed her off and ran.

"NO!" Ava screamed as she tried to stop her. "DON'T GO! PLEASE! No please don't."

Ava fell down to her knees crying helplessly.

Christan ran without looking back. She pushed through the crowd. Whispers followed her.

"She is here."

"Don't let her enter."

"It is not good for her. It has already happened once. Not again."

She again bumped into someone: This time Amelia.

"Okay, girl, listen here." Amelia said as she held Christan back. "If you go in there like a idiot, I will kill you if you don't die."

Christan looked at her and laughed bitterly.

"What if I was already dead? Then what would you do? Huh?"

Amelia just looked at her with blank eyes.

Christan smiled.

"Nothing right."

She left Amelia staring in the darkness as she pushed through crowd.

"Don't go" Mrs. Watson whispered. She has been crying too.

Oh God. Enough with the suspense. I f they won't tell me, I will find out myself.

She rushed into the house ignoring all others. Then her eyes met a sight dancing in blood.

Her knees gave away. She fell to the ground as her blood tears started to come out. The tear of blood dropped on the ground adding color to the already red floor.
