Innocent Intentions: Part 2
Disclaimer: I do not own any fairy tales
She stood there. At the edge of the forest, afraid of going forward, too proud to turn back. The forest was not a safe place to go. Everyone knew that. But then not everyone had a grandmother hiding in the middle of the woods.
A gust of wind brushed a clump of leaves into a swirling dance. Red, orange, brown, whisked by her spiraling upwards and then back down.
The girl allowed the wind to pull at her cloak and tug at her hair. "Go on." It seemed to prompt.
The girl took a hesitant step forward, glancing nervously at the full moon floating menacing above her. "I am not afraid." She took another step. Then another. Until finally she was walking at a brisk pace into the forest.
It was not a long walk to where her Grandmother was. And she had very clear directions. But still. Something just wasn't right. Everything made her nervous. She jumped at every twig that snapped beneath her feet and constantly looked over her shoulder.
But here she was. She had reached the clearing her grandmother had described. Now all she had to do was-
What was that?
A twig snapped. Then another.
"Who's there?" she called blindly to the dark wall surrounding her. Then almost tearfully: "Grandma?"
Silence was all that greeted her. It's just my imagination… She thought to herself nervously.
Then she heard it. The sound she had been dreading to hear from the moment she stepped into the forest.
A deep growl. From right behind her. The hair on the back of her neck stood on end. Slowly, as if in a dream she turned around.
No one heard her scream.

The witch's eyes snapped open. An all too familiar chill filled the room.
Death had come.
Author's Note: Well I have finally started part 2. Sorry for the wait but I have been pretty busy. And of coarse, writer's block didn't help much.
Anyways, The usual plead for someone to review! Virtual pumpkin pie if you do! Also to anyone reading this who has not read plot one: the way this story is set up you will be able to read it no problem because very part is a separate plot and the main plot is more like a backround story (at least for now) but you will better understand it if you read part one. Thanks!
