Kate was very scared now. She tried to take refuge with her parents, but her dad had to work... And mom was among the many ones trying to bring down the nonsensical attacks. She wasn't sure of what to do now... She was very afraid and no one was there for her. Responsibility... Such poisonous thing...
One night, while her parents were sleeping, Kate heard a noise. A low chuckle. She saw the dull full moon on her window, just coming out of a leafless and spindly willow. For one moment, she thought that the chuckle was someone calling her. She tried to go back to sleep but a more guttural chuckle awoke her.
Her friend's song was playing on her head over and over. The voice would grow deeper as the seconds passed, turning into throaty growls. Kate started a little prayer... "Angel of All" by Pastor Kane. It was then that the voice stopped. After a few seconds of silence... Someone began banging on the door, trying to enter.
Kate froze in fear... Until she heard... "Kate it’s me! Open the door! I got a new song for us!" The fear waned and happiness returned. Kate ran to the door and hastily unlocked it, happy to see her friend again. She opened the door...
....
....
When Kate woke up... She found herself in the forest. Literally. She saw someone who looked exactly like her, stranded on the branches of a huge and spindly willow.
"I have plans for you" Said a voice... it sounded very damaged, like if it came through radio filled with static. While looking around, Sally found a body... It looked extremely familiar... Only difference, he was a trucker, not a priest.
"Don't you miss your friend?" Said the inhumanly tall thing, his branches slowly grasping Kate. For a moment, a piercing scream disrupted the silence... But then, quietness ensued and the forest returned to its usual self.
