Amidst the serene beauty of Pleasentview Forest, my wife Bethany and I had found our haven in a cozy cabin nestled among the trees.

The crisp air and the rustling leaves always made us feel alive.

We enjoyed the chirping of the birds and swimming in our tiny pool we had built for ourselves.

Bethany and I were even thinking of having children, because we always wanted some to call our own.

But little did I know our Idyllic life was about to be torn to shreds.

It had all started with Bethany’s strange behavior, as she rarely talked despite always being the overly cheerful one and prone to crack a joke or two.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

One day as I came home from work in the evening on a cold winter night, I heard screaming coming from inside.

“Darling, are you all right?”

No response

“Bethany?”

I immediately felt something was off.

As the door gave way, the blood flowing my veins immediately froze.

I saw her hunched over by the wall in the living room.

The flesh around her eyes were the deepest shade of black I had ever seen in my life.

“The Lady in black is going to get me…get me…” she sobbed uncontrollably.

“What lady?”

“She is standing by a river, wearing an all-black dress, the woman is crying rivers of blood.”

I rushed to Bethany’s side and tried to comfort her, but to no avail.

As I looked closer, I noticed markings like two upsides down crosses slashed across her wrist.

What wasn’t visible from were I was previously standing however was the blood that was all

around my wife.

“Come into the forest, I have something to show you,” she whispered.

Bethany’s face turned, previously hidden in the shadows, a large bloody grin was etched across her face.

The knife that did the deed, next to her.

“Were going to have SOO much fun.”

Adrenaline kicked in and I raced out of the room and out into the wilderness, running as fast as my legs carried me, out into the setting dawn.
