The Legend Of Kayetta

Once upon a time there lived a little girl in a little cabin in the middle of a big forest. The little girl's name was Kayetta and she lived with her poor widow mother. She was tall and thin, with long brown hair up to her waist, big brown eyes, and light peach skin. Everyday her mother would leave to go to work, and Kayetta would stay home all by herself. One day after her mother left, Kayetta sat all alone in her house, looking out the window. Soon Kayetta got bored and went outside. She couldn't go far, since the forest could be very dangerous when you were a little girl out on your own, so Kayetta cautiously took a few steps into the forest.

But soon, she had forgotten all about how dangerous the forest could be, and was happily walking deep into the heart of the forest, when suddenly her mothers voice popped into her mind, telling her yet again the many dangers of the forest. Remembering this, Kayetta quickly turned around, ready to go back home, when she heard a loud sob coming from behind a tree just a few feet away from her. Kayetta, being ever so curious and brave, crept forward to take a look. Behind the tree sat a little girl with small, squinty green eyes, shoulder-length and very scraggly black hair, and very pale skin, giving her the appearance of a small ghost. The girl was crying quietly, with her hands over the bottom half of her face. She looked a lot like a peaky little crow, even her crying sounded like a crows caw. The girl slowly looked up at Kayetta and made a little whimpering sound, then covered her whole face and started crying again. Kayetta sat down next to the little girl, waiting for her to look up again. When she finally did, there was a look of great fear on her face, as if she was looking at a monster. Kayetta smiled sweetly at the little girl and said, "Hey, I'm Kayetta, what's wrong???" The little girl didn't answer. Instead she started crying again, though this time she didn't cover her face with her hands. Kayetta was starting to get annoyed now. As patiently as she could, she asked yet again what was the matter. The girl said in a stuttering and unsure voice, " I-I g-got lost a-and I'm too scared to try a-and find my way back, e-even though I'm p-pretty sure that I know w-where it is..." Kayetta smiled down at her again, and asked politely, " Are you SURE you know where it is?" The little girl nodded and murmured a quiet yes. Kayetta knew she would get in serious trouble if her mom knew what she was doing,but she wanted to help this little girl get home, so she offered to bring her home. For a second, Kayetta thought she saw a smirk on the girls face, but a second later it was replaced by a huge grin. The little girl got up and, beckoning to Kayetta to follow, hurried into a huge group of trees. After about an hour, Kayetta and the girl got to a tiny cabin the size of a tiny closet. The girl asked Kayetta to come in, and Kayetta, even though the cabin was very small and dirty looking, happily agreed.

Kayetta stepped into the cabin and gave a little scream. The inside of this cabin was the size of a million mansions put together! There were old dust covered furniture and pictures on the walls all covered in spider webs. It was dark inside except for a tiny candle with a strange green flame. The whole house looked empty and deserted. An eerie, scared feeling erupted in Kayetta and she quickly spun around to see where the girl was. The girl was no where to be seen, and the door was shut and locked tight. Strange, startling noises suddenly filled the air, and a loud cackling sound appeared. The room started to get cloudy, but in a second everything was as clear as ever. Except for one thing. The candle had gone out. Kayetta was trapped in a strange, dark house in the middle of the forest, all alone. And slowly a misty figure appeared out of the middle of nowhere, walking towards her...

Kayetta stood transfixed in the dark room, staring at the misty figure walking towards her. She could barely see it, but she was sure that it was a tall man wearing a large black cape, and it was reaching out for Kayetta. Kayetta suddenly started running away. The little cabin seemed to go on forever! She had no clue where she was going, and when she finally stopped she found herself in a large bathroom.

In the bathroom was a large, welcoming bathtub filled to the brim with warm water. Kayetta suddenly got a paralyzing feeling, and slowly walked towards the tub. She stepped into the water and the feeling was over. Kayetta didn't know what had happened to her, and she began to climb out of the bathtub, but suddenly the edges of the bathtub grew taller and taller until they reached the ceiling and stuck to it like glue. Kayetta screamed in the darkness of the bathtub and struggled for a way out. Suddenly the shower came on and a downpour of burning hot water came down on Kayetta. Kayetta screamed again and groped around for the handle to turn the shower off, but she couldn't find it. Just then a light appeared in the bathtub from a hidden source, and, to Kayetta's amazement, [and fear] there was no handle!!!! Kayetta began to panic. She was burning up in the hot water and there was no way out of the bathtub! Just as she was about to start crying in despair, Kayetta noticed some dusty cracks perfect to climb up leading straight to the ceiling. Without a moments hesitation Kayetta began to climb upwards. Just as she was about to reach the top, the bathtub sides came crashing down again, and Kayetta fell with a loud THUD in the tub full of steaming hot water. Kayetta yelped in pain and leaped up. Her clothing and hair were both soaked, but she was alive. Kayetta suddenly heard a hideous laughing noise behind her and saw a huge black monster grinning at her in a evil way. Kayetta bolted without looking back, and as she hurried out the door, the door disappeared and dissolved into another piece of the wall...

Kayetta looked around in bewilderment. She was in a dark tunnel that curved around and around. It seemed to be getting darker and darker, so Kayetta ran on, curve after curve, until she finally appeared in a even darker room with a small bared window in the appearance of a prison. In the room stood the tall man in a black cape, but he was no longer a misty figure. He had his back to Kayetta so she couldn't see his face, but she still got shivers when she stared at him. Kayetta bravely tiptoed closer to the man. Suddenly the man began to laugh, a long hideous laugh. Kayetta jumped back, but the heavy metal door behind her shut tight with a loud bang. The man turned around and laughed even harder. Kayetta gasped loudly and backed away. The mans face was still hidden in shadow, so she couldn't see it, though this wasn't that much of a relieve. The man laughed again and Kayetta suddenly began to scream......and then she everything turned black and she collapsed...

Kayetta opened her eyes and stared up into the dark. Sitting up, she saw the room again with its tiny window. The man was still standing by the window with his back to her. Kayetta looked around and suddenly realized all that had happened. And when she stood up she was surprised to find herself dressed in a long black dress. Her hair was long and dark, and she was very tall. It took her a moment to realize what had happened. She was a woman, a woman ghost. Suddenly the tall man in front of her started to disappear into air, for he was only a mist himself, a ghost. He was soon gone, and Kayetta stepped forward to keep his place by the window. Looking down she saw a old woman crying below the mansion, crying and calling a name, a very familiar name... "Kayetta".......
