Be good little boys and girls” The old woman said “For if you are not Bloody Bones will come and make Jam out of you for your mother and father to eat

“Be good little boys and girls” The old woman said “For if you are not Bloody Bones will come and make Jam out of you for your mother and father to eat.”

Many of the little girls in the square let out a yell at the woman’s worlds and ran to there mother that were in the local market.

There mother looked down at there crying girls as they wrapped there small bodies around there legs. The boys ran off and started talking in load voice about how they would kill the Bloody Bones like in a video game.

One little girl still stood in the square looking at the old woman who hair was matted with dirt and looked like her own filth. The little girl wide eyes stared at the old woman. The old woman leaned down her breath smelled like dead dog; many of her teeth were missing in her mouth and left only her gums that were a strange yellow color.

“Do you believe in the story little girl” she asked in a voice that sounded like sand paper.

The little girl nodded and held her old teddy bear to her chest as she looked at the old woman wide eyed.

The old woman nodded and what looked like little black bugs feel from here hair. The little girl shuttered as some of the bugs fell on her arms and dress.

“You are a smart little girl to believe in the Bloody Bones, for if you are not good they will come and get you.” She reached out with an old vain covered hand and touched the girls pale milky face. The little girl trembled with fear at the old woman’s touch. “You must be a good little girl or he will come and take you.” The woman got an odd look on her face as she looked at the little girl “Or he will take you to be his bride”

The little girl let out a scream and over on the other side of the square a head of a teenage girl snapped up at the scream she looked around for the girl and found her with the old hag. She ran over to the girl her hair was black as night and flowing behind her as she ran. The old woman jumped back as the teenage girl grabbed up the little girl into her arms.

She glared at the old woman who was looking up at the teenage girl with fear.
“You” she said pointing a old bumpy finger at the girl “You are.. the.. one” The girl looked at the woman as if she was crazy. The girl looked at the woman with a strange look in her eyes “Never talk or come near my sister again you hag” She said and walked back to were she was looking at some blankets in the square.

The girl looked at her sister in her arms there were pale trails of tears on her rosé cheeks; she kissed the head of blond hair and smiled at her sister.

“It will be okay Bunny your big sister is here”

Bunny only started to cry some more her sister picked up her bag that she had left on the ground as she had ran to her sister.

“What is wrong Bunny?” she asked

Her sister looked up at her; her little hands were balled into small fist.

“Will.. The … Bloody Bones come and get me” The teenager looked at her sister with her brows wrinkled.

“The what?” she asked.

Bunny looked at her sister her eyes had some odd fear in them “The Bloody Bones he comes and get little kids that are not good, I screamed at the old woman that was bad right?” Her sister just looked at bunny with the same look on her face.

“I don’t want to be his bride!” Bunny yelled and started to sob.

The little sister tried to calm down the worried child and held her close to her body.

“It is okay Bunny” she said in a clam voice “There is no thing as Bloody Bones.

She looked at Bunny and smiled.

The older sister tried to calm down the worried child and held her close to her body.

“It is okay Bunny” she said in a claming voice. “ There is no thing as Bloody Bones
Her smile was warm as she looked at her little sister and he sister looked back at her with wide brown eyes. “ Really?” she asked in a frightened voice. Her sister nodded and Bunny smiled. Her sister kissed her head again and walked the path to there home.

--

The older sister hummed a song as she and her sister walked along that path in the woods that lead to there home in the forest. Not many came in to the woods for there did not want to be taken by the fairies that lived there. It was said if that you marked one wrong move they would come up and take you away to there land and eat you for dinner.

Bunny had moved from her sisters arm as was no walking next to her on the path, she was humming along with her sisters song as they moved threw the woods.

The trees had made a strange light pattern on the road; there were random spots of light and of shadow as they walked. It played over the sister’s hair.

Bunny was looking at the ground as they walked the old path; she shoes that were black were now a dusty color from the dirt. She looked up at her sister that was looking out into the tress and asked.

“Sissy Luna why does the dirt turn your shoes funny colors.”

Luna looked down at her angel haired sister and let out a laugh “That is what they do Bunny” she said “They like to make your shoes funny colors”

Bunny made a face and looked down at her shoes “Well I don’t like it! I’m not going to wear my shoes any more I will be bare foot and the dirt won’t make them funny colors”

Luna let out a laugh and picked up her sister and walked to a small house that was sitting in a grove of trees. It would be hard to find if you did not know what you were looking for.

The house was a old faded yellow color there was chipped paint on the windows It looked like it had been white at one point of its life. Luna walked up to the front door that was off its hinges.

--

Bunny ran up to the door and pushed it open, It all most feel at her touch and Luna caught it before it smashed to the ground of the house. Bunny was off and running threw the hallways of the house. One could see were she had stepped for there was a inch of dust on the floor of the house.

Luna fallowed the little girl's foot prints to the back of the old house. She stopped at the closet that was under the stairs and opened the door. It gave a loud screech Luna shuttered at the sound and threw her jacket in to the closet and shut the door fast trying to make it not make that sound again.

She fallowed her sister voice she was talking widely and happy you could tell from the tone.

Luna saw her sister blond head bouncing as she spoke. She was talking to an old woman sitting in a rocking chair in the living room. The woman had white hair what was falling out in random places; her face was lined with veins and wrinkles. Her nails were long and wrapped around in like a spiral they were a strange yellow color and looked gross.

Bunny seemed to look over the fact that she was talking to a woman that looked like an old hag at it worse. Luna walked over to her sister and kissed the woman on her dry cheek. The woman did not even blink at the kiss and kept looking out the window not even seeing the two girls that were in the room with her.

"Hello mum" Luna said as she moved over to stand in front of her with Bunny.

Bunny was looked up at Luna "I was telling mum about the trip we took today!" she said happily.

Luna felt her heart beak as she watched her sister talk to there mother in a happy tone as if her voice alone could bring there mother back from were she was lost.

Bunny gave their mother a kiss and walked out of the room and up the steps.

Luna sighed and went to the table that was standing by the rocking chair it was over flowing it pill bottles and needles on it. Luna took a needle and a small bottle of liquid and turned the bottle up side down and stuck the needle in the top of the bottle. She pulled back the end of the needle and it filled up slowly with the clear liquid.

She pulled it out when it was at the right spot she wanted it, she placed the bottle down and walked over to her mother she pulled up the old rag of her dress that was once yellow and was now turning brown. The woman's arm looked like her face as if the veins wanted to come out of her body.

Luna stabbed the needle into one of the veins that was popping out and pushed the back of the needle in and watched as the clear liquid spilled out into the vein. Luna placed the needle in a tin by the table and gave her mother a kiss and walked out of the room. She went up the stairs of the old house they spoke with every step she took. She looked into her sisters room to see that the little girl was talking with her dolls in her light pink room.

Luna closed the door and walked to her own room and closed the door behind her as she entered. There was a small cot on the ground with a few sheets on it. She sat down on it and dust filled the air from her taking the seat.

She laid her head on the thin yellowing pillow and closed her eyes.

Falling into a deep sleep.

Bunny was playing with her dolls when she looked out her window and saw a tall looking man staring at the house.

She dropped her dolls on the floor and ran down the stairs and out the door. She stood on the other side of the gate looking at the man. His face was pure white and he had no lips. When he smiled at her it was all gums and teeth. His noise was long and hooked; he looked at Bunny with lash less eyes that were a ash color.

"Who are you" Bunny asked the man

The man grin grew wider and spoke his voice sound like honey.

"They call me Mr. Bones" He said

Bunny's eyebrows bunched on her forehead.

"Are you lost" she asked for many people did not come this far out into the woods.

"Why you are a smart little girl" Mr. Bones said "I do seem to be lost."

Bunny walked over to the gate and opened and walked out and stood next to the man. She looked up at him with her blue eyes and held out her hand.

"I will show you how to get back into town."

The man took the little girls hand and walked out into the woods with her.

Luna woke up a few hours later and stepped out of her room and looked into her sister. Her dolls were on the floor and she was no were in site. Luna called out her name and listened for the little girl's voice. It never came.

Luna's heart started to race as she looked on the top level of the house for her sister, she was no were in site she ran down the stairs and looked on the lower level her mother never even looked at her as she ran past her.

Luna ran out side of the house and out into the yard she saw the gate was open and Luna heart fell into her stomach.

"Oh Bunny who has taken you" she said in a small voice.
