Woods

They never found her back, that day. They never knew where she was to stay. It all started so happy, after all, how could they forget how easy it was for her to fall?
It was a beautiful autumn day, when they decided to go to the woods, for a walk, for a change. She didn't want to go, but she needed air, after her sickness... So they took her, with a dog, by her arm. They didn't believe the charm. At least, not yet...
They walked of, and by, and they lost track of her. It wasn't easy to see her, with that coat of fur. Then, they heard a scream, and started running of... But gone she was, his only love. They searched through the whole woods, for nine days and nights long, but they couldn't find her, the other force was to strong.
At day ten, suddenly she appeared. Back at home! They all cheered. She wasn't the same girl anymore, from that day on. She changed in the ten days she was gone. They never actually found out what happened, that one beautiful day. The always asked, but all the girl would say : 'Wasn't it just a lovely day, honey?'
She gone crazy, that day, and the nine days after. It didn't give them a lot of laughter. They never found out what happened in the woods that one day, but it changed their lives, I'd say. Nine people, and she was gone, for nine days.. One day for every one of them.. They never noticed, that every day she was gone, something happened to another one of those nine people. They never believed in the spell that was cast over her, she told them, but now, it was time for her to go..
One down, nine to go....
