Cabin in the woods

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window."I remember Jack and I wanted to check it out. We were 17 years old it was the summer of 95 the last summer before college. I got into a bunch of schools but I knew in my heart I wanted to get out of Pennsylvania so I chose one of the ones that were further away. Se off to the University of Georgia I planned on going Jack got into a lot of schools but he wanted to be closer to me so he chose the University of Tennessee because it was the closest school that he got into we’ve been best friends since we were seven years old and we’ve been dating for the past three years in my heart I thought we were gonna be together forever and nothing was going to stop that. So with the University of Tennessee only being four hours away from me we decided that we would see each other every other weekend and call twice a week we would make it work but even though long-distance didn’t work for everybody else It could work for us. Just like every other summer we like to play in the woods we would go on these adventures and we would play in the river we’ve always and every time we did we would always joke about this cabin that my parents told me about that their grandparents told them about. This cabin was built in the 1700s and how there was a witch from Salem that moved there for refuge. She and her lover came together and they were peaceful and they were happy she very rarely went to town to get supplies for they grew most of their things but she needed some cloth to make herself a new dress. She and her lover were going to get married thinking their past was behind them. All was well until a flood of smallpox hit the town children dying left and right. Some of the parents were taken out too. Elizabeth was the witch‘s name gets her lover's name was James. Since they did not go into town much they didn’t have the same issues the other said plus Elizabeth did a protection spell on them both to ensure they have good health people started talking because they noticed those two were not affected by this their ignorance is where the problem started they assumed that they were doing something wrong but the point of the matter was they just didn’t come around the other townsfolk enough. The final strong was a brother and sister who went out into the woods close to the cabin they kept going further into it and they got lost. Their mother was distraught so she and her husband who was the town sheriff gathered up a search party to look for their children it took them two days and their children were unscathed but when they ask them what was the last thing they remember seeing it was the cabin that was enough to fuel the fire. In a fit of rage, they went to the cabin later that night while James and Elizabeth were in bed. They were making love passionately only they didn’t know it was gonna be the last time. The towns folks men first until the door dragging James Elizabeth outside Elizabeth had to watch as all of the men beat James to the brink of death but they kept him alive just long enough so they can see as Elizabeth was tied to a stake and they caught her on fire while they all celebrated burning the witch. Elizabeth‘s last thoughts were an act of revenge not only for her but for her poor sweet James. After they finish burning her they killed him as well slicing his throat as he lay there. No one has ever lived in the cabin again and everyone has always sworn that it was cursed. They’ve tried to burn it down and it just would not burn they say if you go in there you can still hear Elizabeth calling out for James. I was always told that it was forbidden to go in there so I never did. That was until we decided to camp in the woods that night and as we were going past the cabin as we had 1 million times there was a candle lit in the window.
