"Come on, we're gonna be late!" an auburn haired girl shouted, pulling at the sleeve of a taller girl. Her voice echoed into the forest and the other girl winced.
"One sec, Ruth, I just saw something that'd be perfect for the assignment," she answered, looking nowhere in particular, as she pulled out a camera from her bag. This'll be too easy.
"We have enough photos!" Ruth complained as she continued to pull on the others sleeve.
"You can go on ahead if you want, I'll catch up," the taller one said as she walked onward, deeper into the forest.
"You know that's not gonna happen," Ruth grimaced and begrudgingly followed the other, "I wouldn't leave you alone in this forest, it's creepy."
The other grinned, "I'm fine here, I think it's you who's scared, to be honest," and looked around at the auburn haired girl beside her.
"Scared? I-I'm not scared!" Ruth scowled, "it's just... really late! And my parents will kill me if I'm out this late again!"
The taller girl laughed Not if I kill you first, "You're a terrible liar, Ruth, you know that?"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, just get the damn picture, will you?" Ruth said, looking around and seeing they were in the middle of nowhere. "W-where are we? I thought you said we were gonna-" Ruth was cut off by her companion turning around and silencing her.
"Mmph!" She tried to speak, but somehow was unable. Ruth's eyes were wide, petrified by her friends stare. The taller girl was walking towards her, slowly, as if wishing to taunt her, with her eyes open widely and her mouth contorted into a sick grin.
Soon they were only inches apart. Ruth was breathing deeply, having given up on trying to scream, her eyes squeezed shut, as if hoping for this to be a terrible nightmare. The taller girl laughed and brushed some of Ruth's hair aside. She wanted to see her face when she died.
"Mph mmmph!" Ruth tried to cry as the taller girl's eyes turned black. She looked down as dark brown hair cascaded down her face. The girl grew bored of hearing that muffled voice and allowed her to speak again.
"You aren't her!" Ruth spluttered as tears fell down her cheeks, "You aren't my friend! Who are you!?"
It irked the dark haired girl to wait any longer to kill, but the horror in Ruth's eyes was the next best thing.
"Me?" she smiled innocently, the ugly grin totally wiped off of her face, "I'm your Insanity!" Lily screeched as the forest grew deathly still, Ruth's sobs stopping and the wind blowing the trees falling silent.
She grabbed Ruth up by her collar and looked deep into her eyes, smoke clouding over hers as Ruth screeched in agonizing pain. Suddenly, it stopped. She stopped screaming, her eyes glazed over, and the wind returned to the trees. It was done.
The girl threw her victim down in disgust and leant against a tree. Putting the camera back in her bag, she sighed and waited.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a tall figure, he must have been around eight feet, appeared behind her. She smirked.
"You're late," she noted, "4 minutes and 18 seconds,"
He stepped into view, moving away a branch that fell too close to his face. She could see him now, his faceless white head and smart suit. She knew him too well by now to be afraid of his eccentric features, and greeted him like an old friend.
"Noted," Said the man, "is she dead?"
"Yes,"
"Good... and the cover story?"
"A mad man came at us, I escaped, she wasn't so lucky," she recited nonchalantly.
"Good, but try not to sound so bored when you are questioned," the Tall Man said.
"Noted," she replied.
They walked back together in silence, the girl trying hard to keep up with his long strides.
"You were gone a long time," the Tall Man broke the silence finally, looking down at his young companion, "we missed you, Miss Lily,"
"I appreciate that, but please don't call me Lily, you know how I hate it,"
"Of course, Miss Insanity,"
"Oh please," Insanity smiled as they reached the gates of Creepy Manor, "Miss Insanity was my mother."
