Something Heard, Nothing Seen

A boy named Charlie, at the young age of nine, was walking through the forest trees and looking for his lost dog. He heard a bark and smiled, for he thought it was his dog. He ran to the place where he thought he heard the bark and stopped. He was afraid, for he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, a faint cry, and the sound of a heart beating.
-MEANWHILE- There was a couple, their names were Veronica and Steven. Veronica spotted a dark forest that she had never seen before.He didn’t want to go but he went anyway.As they went in it got darker and darker and Steven was really scared. And then all of a sudden Veronica screamed. She then fell to the ground dead. - Charlie turned around and saw nothing and when he turned back to go farther into the forest and he saw Veronica,dead. And he saw Steven, who was kneeling next to her, hands covering his face and crying. Then he looked up and saw Charlie. Charlie frowned and said,“What happened?â€?and Steven said in a sorrowful voice,“I don’t know.â€?
