One day, James John and Heather fancied a day out to the orchard They set out on their journey with a picnic. They found a small wooden bench in the centre and they sat down and started eating away. Suddenly Heather heard a strange noise coming from the deep dark bushes, so they all went to investigate. When they came back, all their food had gone.

James felt a cold dark hand touch his shoulder.

With a gulp of his breath, he turned around. With a rather large scream, he fell dead to the floor... John and Heather ran super fast trying to escape from whatever got James. Within seconds, John fell to the ground with a large bang from his head. Heather was left there in the deep dark coldness of the orchard, she knew there was no point of running as she was next...
