Creature In the River

A couple decided to walk down to the park near the river At that time, you could barely see the crimson moon, just a sliver Moon was always that color on Halloween night. Lexy was holding on to James hand very tight. They were so romantically in love Lexy thought he was sent from above. They'd been dating for quite some time, everything seemed so sublime. The moon had finally came out from behind the clouds While they were standing by the river they had heard something crack loud. Lexy grabbed James and screamed, "Let's get out of here." She had a fearful look on her face and turned to tears. It was too late, a strange creature came out the water with fiery eyes. They were grabbed from behind, She screamed, continues to cry. After she had screamed, her mouth was covered. Creature said, "You two lovers, are mine tonight." I need two virgins for the witch had been watchingfor you all year Their faces were white, full of fear. The creature had blood flowing from his eyes As he completely came out of the water, He was all covered with flies. Lexy and James hands were finally tied. The two who had grabbed them walked in front of them at last They were zombies, dry blood Tongues were like a serpents, fast they didn't dare move for they were poisonous with venom. A boat came by, the monster gave the kids to the witch when she spoke, she was loud and had a high pitch. When Lexy and James were placed in the boat, The witch cast a spell, then put on a black coat. When she cast another spell, large snakes came out, then wrapped around their bodies, hissing, they were trapped. Boat finally stopped, snakes had disappeared, zombies had came and picked them up out of the boat, laid on a huge rock, positioned same. Their hands and feet were spread tied to the trees, next to where they laid, spells were cast, evil prayers were chanted, when ordered, zombies obeyed. A goblet came over with a dagger piercing them through the heart they died instantly, which was planned from the start. Poured the blood, from the heart into the glass bowl, too Each zombie and goblet sipped blood from the bowl, they knew they had to chant, then the leaders of the group and the witch bit through it and bit a piece from the heart. Passed it around to each zombie so they could do the same gave them energy and now they were no longer tame. Ate all the flesh off the bodies, made a sacrifice, spirits came out and flew away, turned midnight and disappeared, they all went to their homes to stay. © Melanie . All rights reserved,
