Riverside

Near the outskirts of a deep forest, there lies a crystal clear river. It had shining little pebbles beneath the surface. Despite it's beautiful appearance, it had a dangerous current. It was very fast and strong.

One sunny morning, a little girl with long (h/c) braids went down to the river. She had just seen her parents argue with each other. Her father's face had gone red out of anger, and her mother shouted bad words at the girl's father. Scared, the little girl runs away from her house. Her parents didn't even notice the little girl run towards a forest, since they were both too occupied with their argument.

The little girl kneeled down near the edge of the river. She inhaled the fresh air emmited by the forest. It was slightly humid, but was also a nice cold temperature. The girl slightly twitched when she heard a twig crack near her. She turned around thinking it was her parents. She was surprised to see a little boy about the same age as she was. His hair was a soft light beige color and his eyes were an intense violet. He had a small innocent smile on his face. "Why is a pretty girl like you in a place like this??" He sat beside her. "Moy name is Ivan." He held his hand out to the little girl, waiting for her to shake it. The girl smiled at him reaching her hand out. She shook his hand. It was slightly pudgy, but also slightly gruff. "My name is ______! ______ __________." He smiled. "Nice to meet you.  So, um, as I was saying, why are you in this place?"

______'s smile turned into a frowning pair of lips when she remembered her parents shouting at each other. She notices Ivan's cheery face change into worried expression when she frowned, and she immediately pasted a smile back on her lips. "No reason. The river makes me happy, that's all!" The girl chirped, with fake happiness. Ivan apparently believed her and smiled again. This time, the smile felt unsettling. Somehow.

"______, would you like to visit my home?" He stood up and helped ______ up. She couldn't go home, and she didn't have any other place to go. Besides, Ivan seemed nice. So, why not? "Well, I'd love to, Ivan!" Ivan grabbed the girl's hand, making her blush. "My house is in the center of the forest. You don't mind walking there, do you?" ______ shook her head. "No, not at all!"

Then, the two children started heading towards the center of the forest. However, after about a week of walking, they never reached their destination. ______ was a kind and patient girl, so she didn't question Ivan. But as the journey went on and on, she grew frustrated and eventually asked him how far his house was. He smiled and said sweetly, "Almost there." But the poor girl was starving and thirsty. She'd drank a bit of water from a clear rain puddle, but that wasn't enough. Her head was now spinning and pain beat on her stomach like a drum. Her eyes felt heavy. "Ivan.." She says softly before falling onto the ground. Just before she feels herself shut down, she sees Ivan turn around and look down at her. "Oh. Looks like I have to find a new friend again." He says as ______ breathes her final breath.

Ivan smiles as he hauled ______'s body onto his shoulder. He walked back to the river, and threw the lifeless girl into the river, making her body flow along with the current. After a while, the body flowed down a waterfall. But who knew that at the bottom of the waterfall was a pile of other dead children's bodies?
