GOT YOU, SWEETHEART!

Lisa and her friend held their breaths. The branches kept moving, and the sound of footsteps made their heart thud loudly.

"Lisa..." Her friend stuttered.

"Who is there?" Lisa called loudly. But got no response.

The silence again prevailed. The only disturbance made was by their loudly beating heart.

"I think no one is there. You are scared for no reason." Lisa tried to sound confident, but she could not shrug that cold feeling bitting her skin.

Her friend was about to release a shaky breath when they again heard that sound of footsteps. And this time, they also sensed another presence near them.

Both girls stood up on the rock and stepped down from it. Lisa's friend trembled in fear. All those dark memories crowded back in her mind.

Their heart jumped in their throat when suddenly a bird flew from the nearby tree, flapping its wings loudly in the air.

That unexpected sound movement startled them, and they shrieked loudly.
