"Mama!" She twirled around in her soft white halter-top sundress with the intricate embroidered design of green leaves and delicate silver flowers. The one her mother had recently made especially for her; everyone knew summers in Mississippi tended to be quite humid with little relief from the sun, and even less cool rainy days. The dress spun around her as she giggled softly, showing off her very fair skin. Her silver heart shaped locket poked itself out the dress, now hanging down the front of her dress, complimenting the dress perfectly. Her mother spent countless hours designing the dress, and weeks sewing it so little Marie knew it was a very special dress. She skipped merrily around the hallway looking for her mother. Marie was only 4 years old and much to her mother's joy she was a very bright child; eager to learn and quick at learning. She began walking barely before she turned 1, and talking, not even two months later. Her constant chattering and questions always brought a bright smile to her mother's (already) angelic face.

Her chubby fingers latched onto the inside of the door and pushed it open slowly. The half open door allowed just a ray of light from the hall to shine through, the light dimly shone apon her mother's figure on her queen sized bed with covers piled on top. The young girl smiled and held back a squeal, she tip toed her way over the softly carpeted room and climbed onto the spot next to her mother. The little girl's eyes danced with excitement, the slight light from the hallway revealed her glittering emerald green eyes and her chubby fingers grasping around the edge of the comforter ready to pull it up and surprise her mother.

She pealed back the cover…

her heart began pounding in her ears……….

Her blood froze in its veins…at the sight she saw.

Her little lungs barely managed a terrifying scream before the room went completely dark.
