She looks tiny against the tall trees. Her face is hidden by the hood of her bright red cloak, which is blowing behind her in the torrent of wind. The girl rushing to get through the trees, her trail is hidden as she almost floats through the forest trying not to be seen. The light is dim, and everywhere seems cold and eerie; mist begins to settle on the ground. The trees seem to be murmuring to themselves swirls of gusty wind twirl between them.

Her face was hidden deep into her red hooded cloak, A ghostly wind blew the cloak behind her, Soaring like a kite in the wind only not as high. The air was damp and heavy, A foggy mist making visibility difficult, The only light being in the the distance Like a light at the end of a tunnel (Yet without one) The girl in red flowed on, Gently humming a mysterious tune, Where was she going?nobody knows, in the dark eerie forest the girl in red went gliding by... ### Leave a Comment ![St. Gregory’s Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/stgregoryscpschorley/images/logo/03f2fdfc-2593-47db-add8-2385bccd3bd9(1).png) #### St. Gregory’s Catholic Primary School Eaves Green Rd Chorley Lancashire PR7 3QG 01257 263865 #### Useful Links - [Contact Us](https://stgregoryschorley.co.uk/contact) - [Prospectus](https://stgregoryschorley.co.uk/our-school/prospectus) - [Newsletters](https://stgregoryschorley.co.uk/events-and-dates/newsletters) - [Events](https://stgregoryschorley.co.uk/events) #### Social Media - [Instagram (Whole School)](https://www.instagram.com/sgcpschorley/) - [Instagram (EYFS)](https://www.instagram.com/sgcpschorley_eyfs/#) © Copyright 2015–2026 St. Gregory’s Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stgregoryschorley.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
