The Cannibal Girl

chapter two spring

Third person p.o.v
Wren woke up to the heat of sun on her back she blinked a few times before opening her eyes fully she was facing the window laying on her stomach, she groaned annoyed she has to wake up, she sat up looking out the window, over the past weeks its been getting warmer for her and today is spring, or at least she hopes it is she doesn't really have a way to tell the seasons out here, she moves her legs to hang them off the bed while slightly stretching her neck and places her feet onto the floor, standing up she makes her way to the old dresser in the room, once there she looks at herself in the broken mirror seeing how frizzy her hair is and the dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep, she reaches down and opens it revealing some of the new clothes she had gotten, well they weren't exactly new she had gotten them from a girl rake and seed killed when they went to search for food over the winter, and of course they ate her, she looked through the clothes and a lot of it was to ripped up or bloody so the best option was a plain white spring dress, now Wren wasn't very fond of dresses but it was really her only choice so she had to, she took it out stripped and put it on, she looked up at herself in the mirror doing a little spin,

"Eh, this'll do." She shrugged and started walking to the door frame entering the hallway going down the stairs and to the living room, she stopped at the bottom of the stairs and stared at the walls and old furniture it was covered in spider webs and she could see a few crawl across the floor she shivers at the sight and quickly heads to the door quickly turning the door nob and closing it behind her, she sighs and takes a look around the forest while taking a few steps, the forest seemed beautiful to her when on the first day of any season but this one is her favorite the cloudy sky the cool temperature the dew covered grass some melting snow scattered here and there, she loved it.

While she was walking on a trail to the creek she loves she bumbed into rake and seed along the way and they decided to join her, all while walking Wren took in the beautiful scenery of the forest sighing contently at the sight, they were approaching the creek but, something felt...off, Wren was confused at this sudden feeling and stopped walking looking around rake and seed sense her discomfort and stop too noticing something as well, Wren decided to see what was going on by stepping off the trail and walking into the thicker part of the woods walking the same way the trail would and walked till the creek was in sight, She stopped, there was a boy who looked about her age and seemed a little shorter than her wearing a brown hoodie with a blue hood and striped brown sleeves some jeans and sneakers, she took a few more steps wanting to get closer but that was ultimately the worst decision she made so far, she stepped on a weak branch snapping it under her foot,

"Shit!" She whispered hiding behind a tree but she was unlucky for the boy could see part of her dress.

"I can see you y' know," he stated she sighed and stepped out from behind the tree stepping out of the forest closer to him but not too close, rake and seed finally came out from hiding and stand next to Wren both glaring daggers at him, he gulped he knew these two creatures and he knew they hated him,

"Wh- who are you?" He asked with a twitch,  he was slightly nervous because the creatures staring at him with an intense glare,

"I- I'm Wren, what's yours?" she asked a little nervous on his intent on talking to her.

"Toby, t- icci toby, now what are you doing out here looking like, this?" He asked taking a second to motion to her dress and hair, she stopped and took a look at her dress she didnt notice before how she had a few blood stains on it.

"I was going to the creek, but I wanna know what you are doing here?" She asked he already looked suspicious the way his face looked like he knew something and how he wouldnt make eye contact.

"It's ok if you're a killer y' know I'm one too." Now she had no idea how she confessed that so easy usually she has a hard time and she forgot who she told other than rake and seed.
Tobys eyes widened a little at the statment, he thought about it for a second how could such a frail looking girl be able to kill?

"Yes I'm a killer I was just washing these off, now I- I gotta go." He said walking away Wren didn't follow him with her eyes she just walked the other way and started trailing down the creek looking through the rushing water and sometimes playing a little in it, she looked like she was having fun, toby got curious and decided to follow her for this mysterious girl intrigued him.
