In the clearing between the house and the woods a little girl with flaming red hair plays.
humming to herself she pretends her doll is a princess waiting for her prince.
In the shadows of the trees by the path a scared man watches with a wicked smile. Waiting to see if anyone else is about.
"There is my girl , I have been waiting a long time for you to appear. It's time I finish what I started. "The man thinks to himself as he slowly walks to the girls side.
Reaching out to touch her hair he hesitates as she looks around nd starts to stand. The child walks towards the path to the other two houses. Following close she goes to sit at the gazebo by the pond.
The man comes closer to her again turning her head she stares at him with her golden green eyes startling him.
"Why are you following me?" The child asks innocently.
