Whispers

From the "Frightmare Collection"

In the quiet of the night - a whisper floated through the vacant shadows looking for a place to settle and cause mischief .

Softly caressing the childs'  face it spoke in a tone, none but the blessed could hear

"We are here"

Maran stirred as the words fell into her, for she had heard them before and was scared .  Slowly she rose from her bed and went to the door, which opened silently without help, as though it were part of the plot.

In a corner stood the source of the whisper, a small group of tiny creatures each bound to the other by a golden thread.

"We are here"

The tiny group huddled together as though cold, but each carried a look in its eye that could terrify even the bravest soul.

Maran walked towards the group, silently and slowly, wishing that her breath would stop being so noisy, lest it should give away  her presence .

"We are here"

Again the whisper drew Maran towards the group, closer and closer until she could see them clearly, and she was terrified.

The tiny creatures ran to Maran and bound her to themselves with the golden thread, so tightly that she could not move.

"We will take you, now " the Whispers softly spoke.

Into the deep, dark shadows the tiny creatures and Maran disappeared  never to be seen again .

Not a trace was left, not even a whisper......
