Chapter Something or Another

"So, Link, could you tell me what you have thought of?" Cleo asked, the curiosity getting the better of her.

"Well, I don't now…I mean, why would he kill those animals, and take the children?" Link asked.

"He might not have token those kids…but we know he hurt those animals…" Tsunami said.

"He might not have those kids, but that is quite strange to have them all disappear that quickly." Cleo said.

"True." Tsunami replied.

"Those animals did look tired, like they were drained of energy…" Link said.

"Well, there out of their misery now." Cleo said, stating the obvious.

"I also head, those kids were sickly before they disappeared. Like they had to use all their energy just to breathe." Tsunami said.

"I'm hungry." Cleo stated a matter-of-factly.

"Cleo! Here we are trying to figure things out and you say you are hungry!!!!! I mean, jeez girl! I'm hungry too." Tsunami said, smiling. They rounded the corner, and there was a slight move in the bush. All the horses stopped, and snorted. "What was that?" Tsunami asked, now they were all on edge.

There was another move in the bush and a grouping hand popped out. Link jumped off his horse, with the others following. They slowly walked towards the hand. When they got to it, Link moved the bush slightly. Their jaws dropped. There was a small, very pail, boy lying on the ground. He was so pail that his veins popped out, because they were green. He moved his head slightly, and looked at him.

A look of relief then pure horror crossed his face. Then he started to open and close his mouth.

"What are you trying to say?" Cleo whispered. He gulped.

"R…un…Hi—de….h-e w…ill…get…" and the boy coughed and sucked in his last breath. His eyes rolled back in his head, and he went limp. Link shook him slightly, and shook his head sadly.

"OMG!!! That is one of the missing boys!!" Tsunami almost screamed, while Cleo walked towards a tree. "What are you looking at?" she asked, then noticed what Cleo was looking at. There was a small, white hand, just like the small boys.

"It's a girl…but she is dead…" Cleo muttered. The dead girl was leaning against a tree, and her body slid off and hit the ground.

"Oh…my..." Link whispered. Cleo walked around to see what it was, she gasped. The back of the shirt was tore open, and there was stitches all down the back. The shirt was bloody, and the stitches looked hasty.

Tsunami walked over to the boy, and flipped him over. His shirt, in the front, had been tore, and there were stitches down his chest.

"Whoever this is like taking body parts out…or something…" Link said.
