There is a legend among the townsfolk of The Walking Rose, a vengeful spirit of a murdered child who wanders the forest, protecting her garden  with the Crawling Vine, another vengeful spirit. But, legends are legends, after all. It's just an old wife's tale.

Ellie Blackwell and her friends venture out into the forest, being bored and having nothing else to do. While searching this forest, they find a clearing of red roses. Ellie decides to pick a rose to take home with her, so she could grow her own roses.

She shouldn't have picked it.
