The Grey Forest

Lilian was alone... or that is how it seemed, she was actually surrounded by her classmates. Just hours earlier they had arrived at Grand-wood Farm for reasons that her teacher called "educational". It disgusted her really there was no point in going to this place, this farm has been closed for about 40 years now and was all run down and falling apart. Ahead of the group Mrs. Brown was instructing what we should look for for our final portfolio, everyone seemed uneasy, couldn't blame them though. 40 years ago a young girl was found dead for unknown reasons. But for Lilian it was different, she has visited this farm once before when she was young she found the place rather pretty despite the horrors. With a cry of good luck Mrs.Brown released the students, many of them hesitated and stayed by the main barn, except for Lilian she knew exactly where to go. If she remembered correctly there was a lake with a forest on the west side, but this as no ordinary forest almost all of the trees and plants where different shade of grey. With long strides she ran across the abandoned wild flower-filled fields to a shimmering silver lake with a rotting deck and row boat. And then she saw it, almost exactly as she remembered it. Completely devoid of animal life eerily silent. Lilian stopped to catch her breath at the top of a slope, she turned to see if anyone had followed her -no one had-. without a word she entered the forest . Immediately after entering the trees appeared taller, she walked for what seemed like several hours when she snapped a photo of a large fern, when she she looked at the photo Lilian noticed a white blur in the corner of the screen. "well that is odd" she said to herself peering at the image again. She shrugged and continued on her way when she herd a small voice behind her say "its been a while Lilly" Lilian whipped around no one has ever called her by her nickname since her mother had died. But to her surprise she could not see anyone, she furrowed her brow, she could have sworn- a small bubbly giggle behind her "come on lets go play on the lake! Remember that Lilly, remember how much fun it was, come on lets go!" Lilian was spinning in circles trying to locate the source of the voice, she had no such luck. "It'll be fun don't you want to have fun?" " what...no! wh-who are you, where are you?!" cried Lilian panic began to set in, her feat began to move away from where the voice was... or at least where she thought it was. "Oh, you don't remember me?" the voice pouted " I guess I'll have to help you." Lilian began to run " where are you going!" cried the voice "come on lets go play" Lilian could see the edge of the woods she began to sprint almost there she reached the edge... silence  then a blood curdling scream, Lilian felt invisible chains wrap around her ripping the camera out of her hand. The chains pulled her into a tree, she struggled and almost made it but then a wet pale hand clamped around her mouth " now we can play forever" Lilian began to scream but was cut off by the hand. " Let's go down to the lake huh Lily wont that be fun?" Before she could scream again everything went black. 

*Authors note* Whew that was a little intense to write, I didn't really want to write the scene where Lilian dies but I think it was implied and I didn't want to make this too mature...This is my first time copying down my short stories on wattpad, please comment any mistakes you find and I will fix them as soon as I can. IDK what I'm saying anymore, so yeah heh bye have a great rest of your day... Oh god I need to just go before I make things worse.
