As soon as the bell rang Polly and her friends ran out of the village towards the path which lead to the forest.
Polly lived in a small quiet village called Timbervill, as it was getting darker all her friends went home and she stayed behind collecting berries.
As she continued walking deeper into the forest it grew quieter and darker,
The only sound which could be heard was her own footsteps hitting the dry grass.
She now had enough and started walking back home .
Polly was dark skinned, brown eyed ,big eyed girl with short curly black hair and she was Eleven but tall for her age.
She loved cooking with her mother but what she loved more was dancing and singing with her friends.
Polly also loved going into the forest but her mother hated the idea not because of animals or dangerous plants but because of dangerous spirit's which lived there in the night.
The would bring innocent children into the forest by dancing and singing until the fall off a cliff and join them.
Dancing spirits was what the called them.
As she continued Walking she felt as if someone was watching her so she walked faster but ended up getting lost in the forest.
As a cold breeze blew against her skin it sent shivers down her spine and goosebumps on her skin, she stood their looking around shocked because all the paths disappeared.
It was as if the forest was messing with her .
A figure slowly walked near her and called her namewhich made Polly look in the direction of the sound but she saw nothing.
The figure was now a few meters away from her ,the figure started chatting and other voices joined.
Soon children slowly appeared singing and dancing around her, this made her scared and she slowly backed away but when she turned.
She was now surrounded by the dancing spirits.
"Come join us Polly " one said.
"Come dance with us " another said.
"We won't hurt you Polly ,just dance with us " one said.
Polly's mind was spinning and she was getting dizzy as the singing grew louder,soon she was dancing with the spirits .
Slowly going deeper into the forest until she reached the cliffs edge.
The children wer calling her on the other side as she was about to fall over the edge,she felt someone pull her back and lifted her.
The trance was broken and the looked at the spirits which soon disappeared.
"Polly what are you doing here your mother and I were sick and worried about you" he said as the came out of the forest and went back to the village.
" I was lost and I suddenly found myself near the edge " I said.
"Promise me that you won't go back in the forest even if the call you " he said .
"What do you mean. no one called me, I was alone " I said confused.
He just kept quiet all the way back to the house, when we entered. He put me down and locked the door.
I went to the dinner table to eat supper with my mum and dad.
Neither of them brought up the issue of her being in the forest or her being on the edge of the cliff.
After dinner she went to her bedroom and covered herself with a Blanket, she looked at the ceiling for some minutes.
She kept on turning and twisting, everytime she closed her eyes ,she kept on seeing the spirits.,calling her into the forest to dance with them .
She finally closed her eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
