The blond haired boy had wondered about for days in the dark forest, were crickets chirped and unknown beasts growled. Were the wind blew harmlessly, messing up his wild blond locks more than they already were and were his heart echoed loudly, but only he himself could hear it.
The sound of creaking wheels and the hooves of horses was heard from a distance. The blond boy settled himself on the side of the path so that he wouldn't be hurt by the carriage that could be seen coming by. That wasn't a problem seeing as the carriage had pulled to a stop before it got near him.
A tall woman, with dark maroon hair and lilac colored eyes stepped out. The long skirt she wore hid the high laced boots from view, but with every step she took towards the small boy an evident 'clack' was heard.
"Are you lost?" she asked in a warm, low voice, a smile on her painted red lips. She bent forward, one hand resting on her knee, while she held the other one out to the small boy.
Azure eyes took in the leather clad hand, before there own small hand took hers, letting the woman take him away from the road and into the cushioned carriage.
"Where are we going?" he asked, flinching as she settled an arm around him, bringing him close to her.
"Where the lost souls go."
Author Note:
Don't know where I can go with this, either I leave it as it is, or I make it into a chaptered story. /shrugs/ Don't think I put enough detail or length into it to make people want to read more, but you guys tell me, yeah?
This tidbit was inspired by the song Dark Woods Circus by Vocaloid.
