Valley

Laila's POV

New day , new mood , but my sleep was not that good yesterday, my dream was really weird. Some of you may think its normal to have weird dreams once in a while but , things happening around me , too much.

After having a good breakfast from the restaurant attached to the hotel, i decided to take another walk around the place i got lost. I am weird, i know.

Author's POV

Laila took her bag of supplies with her and went off for trekking. A good 2 hours of walking took her near that cursed valley everyone warns about.

Something about that place is telling her that it needs her , in someway, but how? no one knows. Wandering around the bushes and trees just next to the valley really shocked her.

The valley's soil was of pitch black color and was plain and wide as a meadow, just big enough for a small village to reside there , no plants , no grass, no nothing , just pitch black soil. But just where the valley ends , the trees and bushes are so nourished that that its sprinkling out life.

Laila went on with her walking , only then she found a hut , a small hut behind the bushed , like it wants to hide from everything and everyone. Going nearer , a small figure of an old lady can be seen from the creaked window.

Taking in all the courage she had , she went on and knocked on the door. An old woman with long white hair opened the squeaky door.

"Who is it huh! , again someone who got lost?!" a loud yet weak voice came from the inside.

Laila's POV

The door opened, revealing an old ,kind looking lady. " Come inside child , don't worry a lot of visitors get lost here , rest for a bit , i will make you a map of this place" .

I went inside , inside was just big enough for one person to live , a small one person bed , some utensils, some leaves , which i assume are medical plants, and some old but clean clothes.

I sat down on the ground as there was no chair around. "grandma, i am not lost, i just want to ask some Questions " i said being a bit cautious. I continued "i am here to ask about the valley here ,the cursed one".

Grandma looked really annoyed and said "why do you want to know about that wicked place! that place is cursed!! it killed my family, my neighbors " Someone else would have left but my curiosity killed me " it killed your family? how?" she got sad all of a sudden "you want to know? huh , that place is what i hate the most! when i was a child there lived a witch , who disguised herself as a child of a 5 year old , that bitch killed them , all of them , she set them on fire when i was away , i was the only survivor!!" she finished with a tear in her eye.

"go away and never come back!!" she warned. I went away , but something was not right, something was telling me something is wrong.

who is the real victim?
