WARNING AU, drabble-ish
BACKGROUND This takes place in the 1800s, in a small and unnamed town in America.
vu d'ici- seen from here
There is an old house on the outskirts of the town. It lies in a bog, and the house is small and creaks even when there is no one to step on the loose floorboards.
They say it's haunted, and the townspeople have to agree. No one has lived there for as long as anyone can remember, and the children speak of witches and ghosts and there are happenings no one can explain.
The two children show up on foot one day, covered from head to toe in soot and carrying nothing but dirty pouches on their backs and filthy scarves around their mouths to keep the dust out.
They head straight through the town like they know where they're going, and disappear into the bog.
Rumors circulate through the town, that the house ate the children, bones and all, until they resurface a week later.

This was inspired by 'Freaks' and 'Backwards Children' by Bourei no Hikari. Go read her fics! They're amazing. :D
Thank you for reading! I know it was short. It's all going to be like this, but I will update soon. Probably tommorow.
