Authors note: Yay! New story! This is very AU so don't be surprised when unexpected things happen. Also this is based on of the movie "The village" but this will have a completely different ending and a way different storyline. I'm going to try to write smut in this but I can't promise you it will be any good, so in this first chapter Clare is six years old but the rest she'll be in her late teens. This story might also get confusing so if at any point you do don't be afraid to ask questions. R&R! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Degrassi because if I did, I wouldn't have let Eli and Clare break up. I also don't own anything I used/ will use in the story.

Chapter 1: Never again.
She sang as she skipped, with her doll in one hand taking care of it as if it were really real and the other was a tea set. She was far away from the city square where she should be with her mother but just like any six-year-old would she went to find the perfect place to have a tea party with Maggie her baby doll and Annabella her imaginary friend. But to Clare, Annabella was very real and was singing along with her.
You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Clare smiled as she found the perfect spot with beautiful roses covering the ground, they were white. Lined with the forest edge, Clare could hear the singing birds flying above her in the blue sky and the laughter of other children far in the distance. She sat down where a stump sat, it was the perfect table. She continued to sing, unaware of what she might be attracting in the forbidden woods that were beside her and surrounded the town.
Taking each piece out carefully and setting up three cups and the same amount of plates then the little milk pitcher and sugar container with little plastic spoons. She soon finished her song she was taught in school earlier that week, the Monday. Clare took her spot around the stump setting Maggie in her spot and Annabella in hers, they said a little prayer thanking god for the food they were blessed with, even though there really wasn't any food.
Clare poured a little "coffee" in each cup taking a slip of her little glass, which had painted flowers on the side. Setting her cup down the little girl giggled.
"Maggie?" she said "Do you need help?" Clare picked up Maggie's glass and put it to the doll's mouth. When Clare removed the glass and smile
"Wasn't that good, mag?" she said and put the glass back on the stump. Clare looked over to Annabella "Would you like more." Clare asked with a tooth filled grin except for the one tooth in the she had just lost in the front.
Pouring more in the glass Clare heard a twig snap in the woods not too far away from where she sat, she noticed the birds were no longer singing and Clare stood up. Brushing off her pants with a little beaded design on the side from the dirt she looked in not seeing anything but only to hear another twig snap. Clare jumped a little it was probably just a bear or wolf like her father said roamed the woods but she decided to go look anyway.
"Stay here Annabella and watch Maggie while go look." Clare demanded looking over her shoulder, she walked past one of the light posts that lite up the town for many miles, but were off because of the daylight. She heard another and another as she kept walking, she knew it was no bear or wolf or whatever else it might be. But she also didn't know if whatever it is, is getting closer or further away.
"Clare!" her mother screamed in the distance "Clare, Honey! Where are you." She screamed again. Clare gasped when she heard her mother, she quickly ran back into the town, she gathered her thing quickly but felt nothing but eyes on her the whole time, eyes from in the woods, woods she knows she not allowed to go in, but wants to go in any chance she got. Clare grabbed her doll and bag that held the tea set and ran back into the town square.
"Clare!" Helen said in relief running over to her "where did you go?" she questioned kneeling down to hug her.
"I went to have a tea party." Clare said to her mother "something was in the woods, mommy." Clare also said after a minute.
Helen's eyes widen "what did I say about the woods, Clare!"
"To never leave the town . I'm sorry mommy, but I heard something…."
"You know what's in there, the Temeva Uno." Helen interrupted "It will kill Clare, it won't hesitate to kill anyone it finds, and I don't need that being you baby. If you see it you'll end up having nightmares the rest of your life and I don't want you to have to deal with that, so don't go looking for it ever. Okay? Never again, do you understand?" Helen finished.
Clare looked at her frighten, and nodded slowly, Clare has only ever heard of what the Temeva Uno looks like pale skin, red eyes, large claws, teeth that will rip you apart in one bite, it's fast, wears a black cloak and has a horrible scream that every so often will be loud enough the whole town will hear, she can only picture it but she's been told that what you see in your head is one thing but the real thing is ten times worse.
"I won't" she said.
Helen nodded "Alright, now go play with Alli and Eli." She said with a soft smile and gestured over to the sand box where the two played. Clare handed her doll and tea set to her mother and ran over to the dark-haired boy and the dark-skinned girl. Helen held her daughters toys in her hand and looked over her shoulder to the wood and the awful scream fill the air as the town went quiet.
