“Come now children, don’t run from me. All I did was give you a home!” Circe cried out.
Emberlynn and Juniper lost sight of Alexis, but that was alright. Maybe he escaped and was waiting for them on the other side. The girls knew in their hearts that they couldn’t stop running, or else they would end up like Zara.
Nobody said anything about what happened, but they knew the truth. They saw it in Circe’s eyes. Circe killed Zara.
“All I need is a little taste! Just a little taste! Come and help me eat!” Circe shrieked.
All they had to do was keep running and running…the gate was so close…they would all be free…the girls, Alexis, and Dakota…all of them…
Both of them were pushed violently into the ground, flecks of dirt sputtering on their faces.
“And I win once again!” Circe boomed.
She had one claw on Emberlynn’s head and the other on Juniper’s. Both girls tried to run yet again, attempting to squirm out of Circe’s grasp, but she had a strength gifted to her by evil.
The girls were fading…fading…their bones were being sucked away…they could feel it as they swam in the funnel of soil and skin…their skin that was giving way for Circe to eat their bones…
Was that how their story would really end, after so much pain? After Juniper’s tears and Emberlynn’s suppressed ones?
Was being stripped of their bones their destiny?

This is a very interesting excerpt. I think it would be hard to classify as a short story since it's not only very short, but it starts on a cliff hanger and ends on one too. The way you have it structured leaves way too many questions for it to be a completely rounded piece with a beginning, middle and end. I would really love to see you add more detail and exposition.
Thank you for sharing your work.
Annd final story in this folder (for now)!
Oh and we are back to Circe and her twisted self.
Oh nonono, run girls run. That is … that is certainly something to start the chapter with. So they did manage their escape, kinda, but where discovered. And they didn’t try to escape alone, they got Alexis to join in! Solidarity!
No! Why are you doing this to meeee. They tried q.q What abt Alexis tho? Did he make it? What’s going to happen to them now? IS THIS WHAT HAPPENED TO ZARA?
I mean ghosts can be pretty powerful in your stories, maybe they can still help the other monsters, even if they no longer can save themselves??
What a gloomy way to end this folder exploration
Yeah, Alexis and Zara got killed by Circe. I haven%u2019t uploaded any stories about them yet but I will someday. ^v^
Thx for reading!
