Quietly & Patiently

In the heart of the cave, they slowly made their way toward the iridescent waters. They stopped to gaze in awe at the beautiful colour shining forth from the silent waters.

The leader of the crew grinned. It would soon be time for the reaping.

The rest of the crew stood side by side, ready to just enjoy the splendor of the wonders that were in the heart of the cave.

One of the folks in the crew looked back to check if the little girl was not too far behind. She wasn’t there.

The guy pushed folks to the side, trying to reach the leader and also check to see if she was maybe trying to only hide in the small crowd. When he traced the leader he asked him if he had spotted the little girl.

He shook his head and said, ‘‘We left all the children with their mothers at the camp. Only ones here are the men.’’

The guy tried to speak, but words failed to escape his mouth. He panicked the moment he saw the leader’s reflection in the waters. The little girl winked at him.

He stumbled backward and fell on his derrière. Waving his hands back and forth, then almost crawling at full speed to escape from the heart of the cave.

The only thing he heard was the sound of the deafening screams of the remaining crew. He turned around to look back— nothing- was it all in his head?

As soon as he turned his head back, the last thing he saw was a burst of light. The little girl was now in front of him!

She was in another form~ charging toward him as a beast with shark like teeth and wolverine type claws. He felt as if his heart was burning at that point.

The moment he was about to let out a scream, the girl slashed her claws across his neck. His head slid off his body with his eyes still open wide. The terror he felt could still be seen on his face.
