Keeper Of Lost Souls

Cassie heard Martha's screams and backtracked towards the sound. She shouldn't have let her wander off on her own. The forest was a dangerous place for one so young as Martha. The screaming continued and Cassie's heart beat frantically in her chest as she tried to track down her new little sister. She must have left the trail at some point but where? The screams seemed to come from all directions at once then they would change to one certain location. "God please let her be okay," she prayed silently. She could never forgive herself if anything happened to her."Martha, Martha where are you?" She screamed frantically. But each time her words were caught by the raging winds that began to blow. Though it was early morn the sky lapsed into total darkness and an intense heat surrounded her. She couldn't even see a foot in front of her but still she stumbled in the darkness. Martha was out there somewhere alone and frightened. Tears escaped Cassie's eyes. "Martha, Martha," she screamed over and over again knowing it did little good, for the sound of her own frantic screams were thrown back in her face.
