This week’s prompt for Sue Vincent of Daily Echo Thursday Photo Prompt is Glade. Well it got me thinking about the serial I started writing to Sue’s weekly prompts as socs posts which I stopped back in June. As I said I was going to work on them, which I am but due to life I have not got much work done on the story yet.
However I am working on it now, it has a working title Vampires The Witch and The Werewolf. You can see the bare bones of it here it will be changing regularly as I hone and perfect it.
So if you have missed it here we go again.
Glade
It was early the next morning that Lisa carried Hope out into the forest to watch the first rays of the dawn spread through the trees, lighting up the dark . What can we do Lisa whispered into the babe’s ear. A clear and sure voice answered , “You must stand and face the evil, the five of us must lead the world back to the light.”
Lisa set Hope down on the forest floor while she picked some herbs and mushrooms .Warm sun played on her back warming her and lifting her spirits. Gathering up quickly the plants she needed, not feeling inclined to linger. She could suddenly feel the evil covering the ground even as she worked . The wind in the trees suddenly picked up and all she could feel was cold approaching as if it was something physical. Slowly yet surely erasing the horizon. It was almost audible in its advance.
Though not usually prone to fear Lisa grabbed up Hope and her basket and ran for all she was worth back to her safe haven. Lisa had never felt so frightened in her life. As she neared the river and the tower she was gripped with fear and rooted to the spot. Unable to move she called silently to Rachel for help .
It was Mathew who came to her aid, he swooped down from the tower and plucked her and Hope up in his arms and whisked them off to safety .
Back in the warmth of the tower Lisa told the others of the cold she had felt. As she was doing so they all felt the temperature dropping ……. “Look” said Fay from where she stood at the window “Everything is frozen.” The river, the forest for as far as the eye could see was white frozen, covered in ice.
