Into The Woods

 "At the end of this town, there is a big forest that no one has tried to enter. At the beginning of the forest you can see the house." I now look up at the large trees in front of me. This is probably what the old man is saying. This is the end of the town. I followed the direction he said. It’s stamped on my brain so I’m sure I won’t get lost.  I saw in my peripheral vision the house that the old man had defined. I walked towards it while feeling my surroundings. I have my guard up. Even though I ignored the old man's last instructions, I still couldn't help but be observant. It is unlikely that what the old man is saying is true, in my estimation it is half the town is jungle. I also noticed that the town was sur

I stepped forward. Surprised because the voice said I should look for him in the forest, the forest is wide, how did I hear his calls? It is unlikely that he is near my current location, and I am apprehensive because the tone of his voice seems to be losing hope.  It was late at night, the surroundings were dark. I clasped my hand and quickly took the lamp inside the house. I lit it and had the courage to enter the forest.  Aside from worrying, I’m also curious at how the voice recognizes me. I'm sure I don't have a single acquaintance here, and if it was Summer I had met before it would be vague.  The voice is unrecognizable, but I’m guessing that it’s a female. My steps are careful and quietly observing the surroundings. I will never forget the warnings I received from the people of the town. I should not let my fear take

The next day, “Wait, Sierra! You can’t leave!” “What Summer?! Set aside!” “Sierra, no!” “Leave I said!” Everyone watching was silent as the two at the door of Alpha’s house is arguing. They could see with their own eyes what the female Amazon had done to their companion. Summer fell to the ground with the force of Sierra’s kick to his balls. His face is red while holding his crotch. He almost rolled on the ground in extreme pain. The spectators held back a laugh.  “I said set aside! Look what you made me do!” Sierra scolded mixed with repentance. When she woke up this morning she immediately noticed that she was not at the house where she was staying. Her head ached because she was trying to remember what ha

“There are wolves! Many wolves!”   Zachary was startled by Sierra’s cry. She suddenly woke up and turned around, eyes widening as she repeated the word wolf. Zachary was suddenly nervous.   He turned to her and to his shock she grabbed both of his shoulders tightly.   “There were wolves chasing me earlier! There are so many, big and fast!” Sierra complaint hysterically.   “Are you dreaming?” He asked, confused. He did not know how to say here that the wolves she saw were his warriors.   “No,” she shook her head. The grip on his shoulder was even tighter. “I ran away earlier, didn’t I? I ran away and you didn’t catch up with me.”   

Werewolves. Vampires. Witches. Elves.   Which of them is Sierra?   “Sierra!” Zachary shouted.   He was about to approach the girl but his comrades immediately stopped him.   “Are you crazy, Zachary?! You saw that the whole room is on fire!” Summer could no longer hold his mouth.   Vin was shocked by his companion’s audacity.   Zachary doesn’t care. They have been friends with Summer for a long time since they were young, they treat each other like siblings so sometimes Summer is stopping him when he knows that his decisions are risky.   “She’s on fire! What do you expect me to do, just watch?!”
