The Girl with the Burned Face

A 12 year old girl lived with her step mother and two step sisters. Before her father died, he said that she must always avoid getting into trouble. One night she tried to light a birthday candle from her cake for herself, given that her step-family did not care about her. Being since it was late and she was sleep deprived from crying about missing her dad, she came up with the conclusion that her step-mother killed her father to receive all of his money, so she decided to get revenge. She lit the step-mothers bedroom door on fire, and began to run away. Since the house was very large and fire spread faster than she could run, the fire got to her and began burning the flesh off her face. She escaped the house, and ran away to the dark forest before the cops showed up, knowing that they would soon. Her father always told her to avoid getting into trouble, but he never said she couldn’t cause it. Legend has it if you are caught doing something you’re not supposed to be doing and you don’t own up to it, the girl with the half burned face will come to your house, light it on fire, burn half of your face off, and take you into the dark forest to avoid from you getting into trouble. It worked for her, why wouldn’t it work for you?
