Chapter 7
A basket instead of the monster? Where did it go? Did it turn into the basket?
She shook her head to erase that thought. There's no way it'd turn into a basket. This wasn't a fantasy movie. It was reality
Avril sat up on the forest floor and looked around. No sign of the monster. She also looked up at the trees but it had completely disappeared. Her heart raced. She was certain it would pop out of her mouth any second. She gulped down and patted her chest to reduce her heart beat but it even increased.
She got on her feet and battled with her legs to stop shaking and stand upright. She wanted to turn the opposite direction and make a run for it but her curiosity got the better part of her. She began to walk towards the basket, limping as she went. She reached it and stooped low. She wanted to open it but so many 'what ifs' began to flow into her mind.
“What if this is a booby trap? A net could fall out from somewhere and have me trapped”
