A New Life

'Oww... My back!' Was the first thing I thought when I woke up from my deep slumber. I wasn't one of those guys who can wake up early in an instant. Lets just say, that I LOVE my sleep. So, I kept my eyes shut, to try and get back to sleep again.

I wasn't in a rush though. It was a Saturday morning, the beginning of a weekend. And, I had no homework that weekend. FINALLY!

I tried to go back to sleep but my bed felt, odd. It felt hard, slightly prickly, and larger than usual. And my pillow, it was hard as rock. And, where were my bed sheets?

"What the hell? No wonder my back is so stiff" I said to myself. I reached out for my alarm clock on my left to check the time. It wasn't there.

'That's strange' I slowly opened my eyes to see my surroundings. I wasn't in my room. In fact, I wasn't in a room. I was actually outside in some thick, spooky forest.

I quickly got up from the ground. All I could see is forest. Nothing else. I could hear the sounds of rustling leaves, the crickets chirping, and some exotic bird sounds. Then, a thought came into my head.

'Am I still dreaming?' I clearly had no idea if I was asleep or not. The colors that the forest held were bold and, cartoony. But, it felt like that it was legit. I started to have a mind fuck. So instead of thinking, I started walking.

I had no idea where I was walking, but I knew the best decission is to move. Who knew what dangers lied in the forest.

"Hello?" I called out to see if anyone replied. There was silence. Then, behind me, I heard a rough rustle in the bushes. I quickly looked behind myself.

"Who's there?!" I was a bit scared at this stage. Being alone in some spooky woods with someone, or something stalking me. Yeah, maybe a bit more than 'a bit scared'.

"Show yourself! I mean you no harm. I just need directions" Silence. I slowly approached the bush.mI could smell a foul scent in the air.

'What is that smell?' I quickly blocked my nose. I was now about, 10 feet away from the bush. I looked carefully at the bush. I could see two glowing, green eyes staring at me. My eyes widened in shock.

"Oh shit..." As I leapt away from the bush, a large, wooden version of a wolf jumped out. The monster stared at me, and growed. Its tree sap like druel dripped from it's sharp, splintered mouth. The scent was apparently the monsters breath.

The wooden wolf was pretty large. Larger than the average wolf. I knew that I was in deep shit. The monster then made a horrific roar.

"AAAAHG!" I screamed loudly, quickly got back up and ran away. I looked behind me, and not surprisingly, the monster was chasing me. I could see it slowly catching up.

"Shit shit shit shit SHIT!" I was now panicking. I jumped over a fallen tree, nearly loosing my balance. The wolf like creature opened its jaws to take a bite at me. I took a sharp turn to escape its reach. SNAP! SNAP! Luckily, the monster missed.

'Time to find a way to stop this... Thing' I really needed a nickname for this creature, like, Timber Wolf? Yeah, that suits it. I looked around, and saw a small rock on the ground. I quickly approached it, picked it up, and piffed it at the monster.

The rock flew into the Timber Wolfs mouth, chocking it. I looked for another rock. I picked it up, and threw it at its leg. The stone destroyed it, making it collapse into a pile of wood.

"Direct hit!" I pumped my fist in the air. I thought it was over, but it wasn't. The wood slowly moved on its own, and made the shape of the Timber Wolf. My mouth was agape.

'D-did I just see it repair itself?' When the repair sequence finished, the Timber Wolf howled. The loud sound echoed through the forest. Then, two more Timber Wolfs arrived. They both barked at me.

"Clever girl" The three began chasing me now. I could hear their hungry grunts they made. I was getting tired now. I wasn't really use to sprinting long distances. (I'm not saying that I'm unfit, it's just that... Never mind. Back to the story) I panted deeply, bud didn't loose my speed.

If this was a dream, this was obviously the most scariest, and realistic nightmare I've ever had in my life, so far. I tried doing some tricks to wake myself up.

"Wake up" I said to myself. The Timber Wolfs got closer.

"Ben, wake up!" I pinched my arm, hard. They began barking at me.

"I SAID WAKE THE FUCK UP!" I said as I was slapping my face. I looked at the ground and saw another fallen tree and like in every horror movie, I tripped. My face met the hard soil with a thud. I tried to get up, but my left foot was pointing the opposite way.

"OOOW! FUCK!" I knew with a broken foot in this situation is bad, very bad. I looked around for any rocks to throw, but there were none. I turned and faced the pack of Timber Wolfs that were chasing me.

"Oh no. Maybe this isn't a dream" I said. I knew I was done for. I knew I was dead meat. But what I didn't know is where I was, or how I got here.

I cringed at the thought of dying, but I knew this was my one and only choice. Tears started to drop from my eyes. I didn't want to die, not now! They were getting closer and closer. I closed my eyes, and braced myself.

"Goodbye. Cruel world!" The Timber Wolf infront jumped at me to finish me off. Then, I heard a loud 'GLAZERK!' sound behind me.

I quickly opened my eyes and saw a brigth, purple bolt in the air. It was heading for the Timber Wolfs. It seemed like everything happened in slow motion as the bolt got closer to the Timber Wolf that was in mid air.

It made a small explosion as it collided, and caused the Timber Wolf to collapse. The heavy wood fell towards me. I closed my eyes and braced myself for impact. CRASH!
