So the girl went out and roamed across the barrens, looking for food. The dead leaves swirled on the cold wind, breaking the silence on the lonely mountainside.
She passed the graves of her father and her grandmother and grandfather. Perhaps if they were not all dead, things would be better.

She wandered into the dark forest, hoping to find something of interest. The creaking limbs and rustling leaves blocked out the light and made her feel more uneasy as she walked deeper into the woods.

After some time scouring the forest floor, she discovered a rusty, old bear trap, splattered in fresh blood.

"What's this?" she thought to herself, drawing nearer.
The trap had the severed foot of some kind of animal resting on the ground beneath it. Whatever had been trapped had been desperate to escape.

She picked up the foot and looked it over. It was cold and clammy in her hands.
"We have not had meat in so long," she thought.
"Mother will be happy."

So she took her find and hurried home, not wanting to remain in those desolate woods any longer, anticipating a warm meal in her stomach as she hurried home.

When she returned home, her mother eyed the foot greedily and snatched it from her hand.
"Is this all you have to show? There's hardly enough here for a cup of stew, and I bet you would want to take a share for yourself, right out of the mouth of the woman who is wasting away to raise you, you ungrateful whelp! To bed with no dinner! That's what a greedy child deserves!"

So the girl went to bed with no dinner and her mother cooked and ate the foot all on her own.

In the middle of the night, the wind howled down the mountain, rattling the glass of the window. The girl snaps awake at the sound and lies in bed, staring into the darkness.

Of in the distance, over the sound of blowing leaves sounds like a voice calling out,

"Who has my foot?"

>>680671
Look out the window.

whisper "my mother" then roll over and go back to bed.

"mother has it, but I took it. You left it behind."

"Good sir and/or madam, I did acquire a foot, of the biological variety, during my scavenging this day. I do indeed confess that I had every intention of using the foot as an ingredient for stew, which I had hoped to consume with my mother. But I do swear that it was my mother who took the foot and then consumed it herself.

Please don't kill me, I don't want to live here anymore..."

>>680671
Ignore them, and go back to sleep. What do you care about the fool who lost their foot in the first place?

Looking out the window, there is no sign of anything out of the ordinary. Perhaps it is only imagination, hearing voices on the wind.

>>680726
Back to sleep then!

Laying back in bed, the girl tries to go back to sleep, listening to the wind beating on the walls of the cabin.
"Whoooooooooooooooooo," the wind howls.
"Whoooooooo"
The sound allows her to rationalize what she heard and she begins to drift off again.

"Whooooooooooooooooooo has my foot."

>>680781
Make up song lyrics. Other things that start with "who".

"IMPORTANT QUESTION: DO YOU NEED TO KNOW WHO HAS YOUR FOOT RIGHT NOW?

BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU IN THE MORNING. YOU CAN TALK TO ME AND MY MOTHER WHEN WE AREN'T TRYING TO COUNT HYPOTHETICALLY TASTY SHEEP! NOW SHUT UP AND GO TO BED!!!"

open the window. greet the sound. tell it who has the foot. your mother.

Respond: "MOTHER!"

"Not I"

The voice echos through the trees, and while the girl is tempted to mention that her mother took the foot, she can't bring herself to shout out into the night about it. Maybe it will go away if it can't find her.

>Maybe it will go away if it can't find her.
Sure, maybe. Let's see.

Hide under your bed

Right now, you don't know about the entity that is asking. If they are sadistic or ruthless and you stay quiet, you're screwed. Just explain what you know and that you'll tell them in the morning. If they confront you directly, tell the truth as loud and plain as you can.

The girl slips under her bed, not saying anything so she would not wake her mother, to say nothing of alerting the owner of the voice. She did consider how she might explain the situation if pressed.

Then slowly, the door creaks open,
"Who has my foot?"

>>681469
*Whisper* Not me!

Start off by explaining

A) It was ripped off
B) You're hungry and you don't have any food
C) Your mother ate it

Say nothing and wait for it to go away.

"Who has my foot?" the voice rasps, shuffling across the cabin floor.
"Not me,"" whispers the girl, cowering under the bed.

The figure moves closer and from under the bed she can just make out the shape of something in the darkness,
"Who... has... my... foot?" it says.
"Not me," replies the girl.
"Who...

"MOTHER TOOK YOUR FOOT AND SHE ATE THE WHOLE THING!"

And her mother screamed, and screamed, and screamed.

RUN.

>>681550
GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE

>>681550
Don't move. Hide and wait.

hide. the creature wants the foot. you don't have the foot, you are safe... enough.

>>681581
If the entity doesn't have their foot THEN HOW CAN THEY RUN AT FULL SPEED?! The fact that they care about their foot means that they probably can't grow it back or replace it with a prosthetic.

Run and hide!!

Taking the chance to dash out of the cabin and into the night. Now she can run down into the forest or up into the mountains, anywhere to escape that horrible thing.

Up toward the mountains, where an agile young girl might outpace a heavy stump-legged horror. When possible, tread only on bear rock, to avoid leaving prints. If it does not seem to pursue, then slow to a walk and conserve your strength, but do not stop to rest for more than seven heartbeats until you are over some great ridge and headed down into the valley of an unfamiliar river.

She flees up the mountainside, in the hopes that the monster is crippled enough that it won't be able to follow.

"COME BACK! YOU CAN'T LEAVE!"

>>681952
Already did!

>>681952
"SCREW YOU, I'M OUTTA HERE!!!"

Don't listen just run.

"WHY NOT?!" as you continue running.

yeah, probably shouldn't stop.

"Can and did! I led you to your vengeance so we really should be square, have fun with your new house, good luck finding whoever set that trap, hope we never meet again." Then resume running.

>>681952
Wait, is the monster yelling that the wind, or your mother?

>>682143
Doesn't even matter.

She stops for a moment to rest. Climbing a mountain is actually fairly strenuous.

She could hide and rest or keep running.

Keep moving. Walk at a slower pace and observe each path you can take carefully; think about where you have the advantage in evasion.

Let the adventure begin.

Keep moving, but also try and remember if there are any mountain streams to heads towards. Thirst is probably going to be an issue sooner rather than later.

he found you twice already, once when he was tracking down your house and again when you hid under your bed. Keep moving but don't run unless you have to. You want to save some energy just encase you need it.

The girl heaves herself up the mountainside, away from the voice. Tired, hungry and cold, she starts to struggle up the incline,

"COME BACK! I WON'T LET YOU GO!"

Keep going and don't stop until you feel the spray of the ocean!

You're going to want to hide soon. Before you get too tired to find a hiding place.

clingy bastard aint he?

so what's on the other side of the mountains? Also keep an eye out for somewhere to hide. You may be faster but this guy seems determined not to give up.

Hiding seems like a good idea, so the girl climbs behind of rocks and bushes and waits, hoping to avoid the creature.

"I FOUND YOU."

Shot in the dark: Hug the creature.

Tell it to go away, you don't have its foot.

And it's its own fault for not noticing when it lost it, anyways.

ask it nicely not to hurt you.

faint

Say "Yay! You found me! Now I'll count to one hundred and then try and find you!"

Unless you're too overcome with terror, then plead for your life I guess

Just be cool about it. Be like, "Yo, what up?" He hasn't actually threatened you yet, he has no incentive to harm you, and he probably would've killed you already if he was going to.

>>683343
Um.

Thank you?

Fainting does sound good right now.

>>683343

Tell him you're more interested in taking the rest of your clothes off than putting more on if he knows what you mean. Then wink really suggestively.

"Yes."

Ask the entity which way to the nearest city. Then run away.

>>683343
Ask... what it is.

wear cloak. apologize for running, you are kinda nervous about strangers.

"...so I did. Thanks. I just kinda panicked after you killed my mom. Thanks for that too, I guess."

Petulantly point out he's not wearing a cloak.

After a few minutes of trying not to be scared, being terrified and trying to flirt with the figure, she invites it back to her cabin for horrified sex.

The mix of fear and excitement makes it the most intense experience of her life.

So, out in the mountains lived a woman and her husband.
Conditions were harsh, but they wanted for nothing and had several monstrous children, who by the standards set by the inbred hillfolk of the region were still relatively attractive.

The End.

That was a, uh, shocking swerve.

Innsmouth sexy for the win? I did not expect this ending.

Huh. I did not realize she was old enough for that ending.

Still, probably the best possible outcome.

...I wonder if he leaves his feet by the side of the bed, like slippers.

Wasn't this a story in a scary stories to tell in the dark book? With a slightly different ending albeit.

And the moral of the story is...

uh.

...I guess don't be a horrible parent or you'll get eaten and your daughter will have a more successful life than you?

I really liked this story. Felt like a fairytale.

I feel like this deserves a medal for that ending along. 11/10.

Someone get drawing fanart of The Girl with monster husband and kiddos, stat.

>>683568
The moral's about the true nature of monsterism, obviously. The terrifying thing in the forest was good to her, while her own mother acted like a monster.

>>683568
When you're scared, facing the truth works better than hiding from it? Find unambiguously good people and make them family instead of trying to find goodness in the abusive family you've already got? Seems pretty solid to me.

>>683688
I think the moral of the story is don't eat people's feet
