Blackfeather Woods Spooky Scary Skeletons

As Xan spoke, she found herself slowly being absorbed into the story, ignoring the child's snarky remarks. She would never fall for it, but she simply liked the tale, no matter it's unoriginal orign. Yet, something about the story made her uneasy, the thought of something supernatural chasing after her sent a chill down her spine, reminding her of the blind incident as she ran distraught through the forest, blind. What if it was real? Meldresi believed in the other power type thing, who was to say this thing didn't exist either? 
A gush of icy wind hit her face, sending yet another chill down her spine as the thought of this thing waiting in the shadows to take her, just as she had done to so many. If it could take any shape, she could have already met it. A thought of horror past thought her mind a the idea of the fox that she had so horribly threatened, being this thing waiting to kill her. 

Her eyes wandered past Xan, as she looked into the shadows of the forest, as he had. Pull yourself together, the runt's just trying to scare you, she reminded herself, willing herself not to believe this ridiculous tale. But only a few selected words made it to her ears as Xan spoke, ripping heads.. bloodied.. Her eyes scanned wary, her pulse quickening as he spoke. 
It was then when Xan cried out, causing her to jump against her will. It was a small flinch, enough to give Xan the satisfaction he wanted. But inside, her heart raced as the feeling of terror felt her way through her, reminding her of blindly wandering in the dark, to god knows where. Instantly, her eyes darted to the child, the cold irises hardening as her eyes narrowed maliciously. Of course she was not mad at the boy, knowing simply he was having his immature fun. But that wouldn't stop her from having her own fun either. A playful but mischievous look danced in her eyes as a smirk reached her lips. 
"I'm going to get you for that," she said as she lifted herself from the ground. In any case, she would make sure he never repeated what had happened to anyone, no one important for that matter.
