He laughed and nodded."Yes, yes I know straight there and back" he said to his mother.He was a young lad of seventeen, kind and shy.His soft blonde hair was a mess having just woke up.His soft pale skin contrasted his pale jade eyes as he waited for his mother to finish the basket.Grandfather had fallen ill and it was his job to take the medicine to him, not that he minded anyway, his grandfather always gave him treats.
"I know mom, don't take the shortcut" he laughed as he took the basket, slipping his muddy brown cloak on.He sighed as he began to walk along the forested path, admiring the morning sun."I have to get there quick if I wanna go visit friends" he told himself, and that's when he ran into the shortcut.He paused outside it, staring into the dark path, near pitch black from the thick trees surrounding it.His eyes scanned over it as he bit his lip and sighed."I can run through it quick, whats the worse that could happen" he said, shrugging the strange feeling off.
Thoughts ran through his head as he began to stride down the dark path, making sure not to trip on roots or rocks, gulping as he strode along.It was too dark to run and he hadn't counted on that, perhaps this wasn't such a good idea."Okay...it's alright...just a silly old legend" he muttered to himself, his eyes fixated on the bushes and dense trees as he strode along, a feeling of unease creeping into his form as he padded along, the basket of medicines and fresh meat pies on his arm.
