* In the woods, “Lady Ambrosia” has kidnapped an entire group of children and is leading them through the woods. They are chanting – they have some sort of funeral at a wishing well for a child named Matthew. When they are done chanting, the woman has a man named Theodore throw a little kids’ body down in the well.
