Family Tree

Chapter 1

The sun was just setting behind Bracken Woods, and three girls were walking towards the trees.

Melantha was quite tall and slim, with long golden hair and piercing emerald eyes. She had on a fitted dark denim jacket that showed off every curve perfectly.

On her right, Hazel was bouncing along her mouth never stopping to produce a shower of absolute babble about some man or something completely not worth listening too! Hazel was a small girl with russet hair in a high ponytail, and bouncing in her tight shorts and tight running top always looked good even after a 10-mile run!

 Lastly on Melantha's left was a tall girl with long inky black hair called Estella. Her eyes were nearly black and she had an air of mystery about her, with a hint of seduction, but that was probably because of the way she dressed. Today Estella was wearing her tight fitting jeans, a boob tube, and her three quarter leather jacket that she adored.

According to Hazel, they all "made the lads drool!" which was true.

"So who is meeting us here tonight?" Melantha asked in her sweet, curious voice.

"Oh just the whole football team." Estella replied casually looking at her long well manicured fingers.

"How on earth did u manage that?" Hazel replied. It always amazed her how many people Estella could get to meet them in one night.

"Well of course we won't be needing all of them! I just thought a bit of selection would be a good idea. You never know who might take a fancy to you, or who will fight over you. We might as well have some entertainment." Estella purred.

"Not a bad idea. What would we do without you eh?" Melantha giggled putting her arm around her sister.

"Throw one hell of a wild party?!" Hazel randomly injected. Hazel usually came out with a random comment now and again without thinking.

As they neared the trees, they realised there senses enhanced as darkness crept in around them like a blanket. They could hear every small sound and see everything as clear as day. And the smells came carried on the wind.

The three of them stood waiting, and caught smell of aftershave and sweaty gym socks. The football team had obviously finished practice and were heading towards them, laughing and drinking.

"Well I didn't think you would show up." Estella announced leaning on a nearby tree, inspecting her nails.

"Nothing could stop me from coming to see you darling." Brad smirked as he came and stood over Estella, his hot putrid breath stinking of mint and alcohol encircled her face. Repulsed Estella pushed him back, with a little bit too much force and sent him falling on top of three other jocks.

"You must watch your strength!" Hazel hissed under her breath.

"Oh, like they will remember anything after tonight's events." Melantha informed her.

"So, what are tonight's events?" Carl asked putting his arm around Melantha's shoulders, rubbing his face into her neck. Her golden hair covering his face like a veil.   

"We are going to have some fun in the woods, silly!" Melantha replied silkily, looking at him with those penetrating Emerald eyes. Any man who looked Melantha in the eye fell almost instantly under her spell.

"Well let's get moving then! Yeah!" Dale whooped. And all the football team went on ahead, followed by Hazel, Melantha and Estella who all had a glint of hunger and excitement in their eyes.

"Let's go have some fun." Estella announced, and all three of them followed the drunken football team into the woods giggling with anticipation.
