Dear Diary,
Something strange is happening and I am scared. I'm beginning to think there is some truth to the countless creepypasta stories shared online.

Last night I think I saw a silhouette , of a woman.... It should be strange because according to the Inn keeper; this place is free from any neighbours and I know I'm the only woman here as of now. Plus, the nearest town from here is about two kilometres away.

It could have been my involuntary imagination right? But, I saw the woman, dressed in dark robes, waving her arms frantically around, curling her creature like fingers, doing what?

You do know my curiosity, I went outside and it was icy cold, weirdly cold. My footsteps made a 'crunch' every time I stepped forward. It was deadly quiet and I had only the twilight to see through the darkness.

The pond was isolated, there was no one. I tried blinking and still there was no one. I squinted at the ground to see for any footprints and there weren't any except for my own.

The water was clear from above, illuminating the night sky but if you looked deep, it could look different; I thought so.

Grandma told me not to go this city outside Bucharest where there are ominous places. Especially not today, but you know, I always do what I'm asked not to do.

A chilly breeze slapped across my face, dishevelling my hair and pushing me off my feet. Then I heard a strong splash on the water. My eyes snapped to the pond but it was motionless.

I sprinted back into the Inn, my heart pounding and fear freaking me out.

See you tomorrow, love Hyacinth.
