Scuttling Things
-C-
They gnash they bite
They twist they turn
The fear the sun
Whose harsh rays burn
-C-
They live in the house
And under the ground
Their scuttling feet
Make terrible sounds
-C-
They seek out the children
So sweet and so pure
And into their nests and caves they do lure
-C-
And one fine day
Two children arrived
One brave
The other who shook
One craved thrills and adventure
The other sought solace in book
-C-
They called to the boy, who was special indeed
And asked him to go to a well
And told him it would be foolish indeed
If he were to tell
-C-
At first he said no, he would not go, he ignored them as they had feared
but they coaxed and the pleaded, told him he was needed
and praised him until he cried tears
-C-
And while this was happening
His friend she went searching
For things to be trapping
And on an old tree a black cat was perching
-C-
The cat dropped a ring and quickly departed
And the girl ran to her friend
Whose journey had started
-C-
And that one special boy who sat on a log
That rested above a well
His pant's they did tug on his shoes they did cling to
Until he eventually fell
-C-
But this one special boy had a very bright friend
Who braved these creatures of night
She fought off the spider who sat down beside her
She fights through the fear and the fright
-C-
She goes down the steps
Down the dark basement stairs
Armed with naught but wit
And a few lucky prayers
-C-
Oh no but wait
She had one other thing
A small and glittering
Sliver-black ring
-C-
She enters the caves
In which the dark dwells
And with her strange ring
she breaks through the veil
-C-
She catches the creatures
Who are changing her friend
And though they bite and snatch
She wins in the end
-C-
She grabs her old friend
Changed back through the ring
Together again
Their hearts they do sing
-C-
They climb through the dark
Not guided by sight
But rather in fact
By a mysterious light
-C-
They exit the tunnels, the house is now black
They leave finally, and never look back
-C-
So remember dear children and take heed
Open your ears and hark
A time may come when you should leave
When you see creatures in the dark
-C-
Well, that's done, hope you liked it. I suppose you could consider this a trailer for a later fic, but it would be a much later fic, if I do it at all. Also, sorry about all the C's, my computer is being really stupid and refuses to add spaces unless there's some kind of letter there, it also won't increase font size, weird.
