Chapitre 16: Chapter 14: Folktale

"Not hungry, Mom" I replied my mom downstairs as I've read the jumbled letters that I've already been solved yesterday. Felicia and Cathlia want my help and justice. Justice for death, I'm sure there is a lot of things I should uncover to find the truth. Louie and I should focus to one problem first and that is Cathlia. An unsolved case of Cathlia. Two Unsolved cases that needs to be solved.

Louie helped me to find the truth of Cathlia's death. How should I start this...? I only got an information about a kid that died from a cliff named Cathlia on 2005 newspaper and there was no other Cathlia that I've read beside it. It was on the section of Unsolved Mysteries in the article. I crossed my arms and shut my laptop. I grabbed my phone and replied Louie, "Have you ever read a case about Cathlia?

"No"

"Then, how could we start solving this...? Doofus, help me"

Louie didn't reply, I tossed my phone away and looked at the laptop again. I sighed and tossed myself to bed and grabbed my phone to check if there is any reply from Louie. I went downstairs and Mom was on the couch, watching the television.

"Hey, mom", I said, she lowered the volume and looked at me, "yes, honey?"

"Can I go out today?" Mom stood up and turned the television off. "No, honey" and went her way to the kitchen. Dad was on the kitchen, reading his newspaper. "Dad, can I go out today?"

Dad shakes his head, "No, your mom told me you always go out"

I sighed out of defeat and went upstairs, thinking how to start solving the case of Cathlia doze me off.

Lilith found herself in the middle of a meadow. The grass rustling gently in the breeze and few flowers in fresh grass could be seen. She glanced around and a little girl was sighted, picking up flowers.

"Cathlia, dear, come. You should be staying here inside the log cabin"

A light blonde haired woman around her early thirties came in the scene.

"Don't go outside again, okay?" the woman said as she carries the little girl on her arms. "Okay, Mom. I'm just picking up some flowers" The woman kissed the little girl's cheek. "Yes, dear but tell mom if you need anything and mom will do that for you, okay?"

The little girl nods, her eyes on the flowers she picked. The woman looked at Lilith, Lilith's eyes widen as she saw her face, its Lucia. Lucia walked to the log cabin, looking at Lilith over her shoulder with a sinister smile.

Lilith sits up from a nightmare. She looked at the time, already 7pm. She slept for 5 hours. She went downstairs and found her mom busy cooking again.

"Mom, I wanna help"

Her Mom smiled. Lilith hand her the spices.

"Mom."

"Yes, honey?" her mom asked as she pours the spices.

"Way back when you're around my age, do you love reading horror stories or unsolved mystery books?" Lilith asked as she sits on the kitchen table.

"I'm scared to that kind of things, honey but I love hearing folktales"

Lilith didn't know her mom loves to hear that kind of stuff. "Can you tell me about it?"

Her mom thinks for a second. "There's a lot of honey, can't remember it. But oh! I've heard a story about a person who can turn herself into something she likes but in exchange she had to sell her soul."

"Reallyy? that's woah" Lilith's mom looked at her and glared, "Selling your soul is a woah? Honey, you need to see your psychotherapist again"

Lilith laughed, "It's kind of cool but not that really... Is that all?"

Lilith's Mom nods. "That story was used to let those stubborn kids be scared and won't go out in the forest especially in the night. But at that time, a lot of reports came that many kids were missing whenever they go out in the forest. It's just a folktale, but even me, maybe they just overly exaggerating the story so that the kids will get scared." Lilith took her phone out of her shorts pocket and wrote what her mom said.

A folktale about a woman who turned herself into something she likes, but in exchange she had to sell her soul. Lot of kids get missing, going out to the forest.
