As I was trying to make my way out of the forest, I took a second to behold the beauty one more time, as the grass crunched beneath my feet. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself a little, I mean how couldn't I? Paris, nearly peed her pants, crying about demons, and where are the demons?
I passed by several trees, as the wind was trying to pick up, and I spent a bit of time counting, many dandelions on the ground. It starting to feel like eternity, I know it didn't take that long, to enter the forest. Could it possibly be because I ran instead of walked?
I quickly looked back, to confirm I wasn't going in circles. I picked up speed, again, passing tree by tree. The trees turned into a green blur, and the flowers, looked like straight lines, because of how fast I was running. I had been running, for quite a while, before I lost my breath and slowed down to catch it.
I took note, that I was possibly closer to the school, as I was not in the same spot as before, however, I knew I should have been out of the forest by now. Getting into the forest from what I observed, is one straight line, no curves, no grooves, no special path.
I am probably overthinking this, all I need to do is walk all the way, back. I am sure I am close to the school.
I began walking, feeling as if my feet were dragging. I looked ahead, and all I could see were tree ahead and more forest greens, my legs felt as if, I was being dragged backwards instead of forward, like no matter, how long I was walking I felt I made no progress.
I looked at the sky, even the sun, has, moved down from the sky, and the temperature had increased. Recess, is definitely over by now.......but that is impossible........I should have made it back before recess. Is Paris's, crazy story, heightening my paranoia?
I shook my head, I should be worried about getting back, to school right now, the forest, is enormous. I am probably just lost is all.
I walked, keeping my eye on the sky, as the sun, started to fall down, I began to frown, looking ahead of me. I have still made zero progress, something, is definitely wrong at this point.
My heart started, to slowly pound in my chest, luckily, the sun is still up, so I have time to make it back. When I stepped forward, I heard a "crunch" and my head of curls whipped back with force.
It appeared to be, an adorable black puppy, beside a tree! Bright yellow eyes, a shiny black coat and a white underbelly. It appeared to be friendly, so I reached out to try to pet it. The cuteness of the puppy, started to stabilize my heart rate.
As I reached out to pet him, this sweet puppy, turned, vicious, instantly, snapping, and tearing at my hands. I whipped my hands, back, and grabbed my blood-soaked, hand, backing away from it.
It didn't growl, just stared at me, with it's mouth covered in my blood...........
I blinked, bewildered, that is definitely, not a normal dog........
As I was gathering my thoughts, I heard ruffling in the trees near the dog.
A girl, appeared from the tree, which I presume must be the owner of the dog. The girl, was around my age, with long orange hair, that clicked her heels. She had big ol' green eyes, and freckles across her nose
She wore, just a regular pink T-shirt, and blue jeans. This tells me since, she is dressed with no holes, and appears clean, she must have recently got lost like me. I have never seen her before, in class which is quite odd.
"I am so glad to have met, another person! I felt I have been in this forest for days!"
I looked at her dog
"Since when did our school allow dogs? Did you skip class, to play with your dog?" I wrinkled my face out of confusion.
Not seeming to answer my question, she spoke. "You best get going, girl.
"This is a forest where demons thrive, and they love the taste of human flesh"
I shook my head in confusion. "Demons don't exist, and if there is such a thing, you "best get going as well"
Flesh-eating demons? Paris never mentioned, any of the sort, nor have I heard that rumor before.
"Whether you live or die, is of no concern to me, I was just passing by is all" She started to walk away from me, despite all the confusion she is leaving me in, such a strange girl.
She allowed her dog, to maul my hand, she apparently lacks any sort of empathy, for whatever may "kill me", and she is behaving as if, she owns the dang place.
I tried to grab her shoulder, to stop her from leaving, but her "dog" tried to snap at my fingers , and she flicked my fingers away with disgust.
"Gross, I hate when humans touch me"..........
"If you want to leave this forest alive so bad, ask one of the demons for directions" She rolled her eyes sarcastically."
I was so stunned, by her comment as I allowed her to walk away. Did she just refer to me as "human" as if she wasn't human herself?
