1 THE WOODS

The white all round the irises of her eyes could be seen. Her face had turned a milky yellow. The smear of rouge that was still on each cheekbone stood out sharply, almost as though unconnected with the skin beneath.

" YOU ARE DEAD " a voice echoed through the woods.

" Where did that voice came from " she said her voice shaking from fear and her entrails seemed to have turned into ice.

" REMAIN EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE MAKE NO MOMENTS UNTIL YOU ARE ORDERED " said the voice.

She didn't knew what was happening. She could do nothing except stand gazing into trees and cursing in heart. To run for life, to get out of the forest before it was too late - no such thought occurred to her. unthinkable to disobey the voice from the woods. There was a snap as though a catch had been turned back, and a crash of breaking wood or something.

" The voice can see me " she said panicking without caring that even if her words make sense or not.

" YEAH I CAN SEE YOU " said the voice.

" STAND AT THE FRONT OF MIDDLE TREE. STAND BACK TO BACK WITH THE TREE CLASP YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOU DON'T TRY TO DO SOMETHING FUNNY OR DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING "

Her body was shaking, She could just stop her teeth from chattering but her knees were beyond her control. There was a sound of trampling boots coming from far. She opened her mouth to speak but closed it without saying anything. It wasn't like she didn't wanted to say, she just cant get enough courage to talk. The sound of the boots were coming close and close she just closed her eyes and sat down with her hands on her ears.

Someone hit her on head from behind. Everything in front of her started to get blur. blood was oozing from her head and forming a line beside her ear. soon she lost consciousness.

" THIS IS JUST THE STARTING, HEHE ITS SO MUCH FUN.

HERE COMES A CANDLE TO LIGHT YOU TO BED,

HERE COMES A CHOPPER TO CHOP OFF YOUR HEAD. HEHE "

Everything became quite for once again.
