Ah... another day in my life. Let me make it simple, I live in a apartment alone, and I will usually hunt on a daily basis to relive stress. I think I'll pay my sister a visit... oh who am I kidding I see her on a daily basis. She... well she has cancer, I'm the only one that can even see her. My mom died a long time ago and my dad usually is away on business trips. She doesn't have much time left. She has about 4 to 7 months left. At the max 7 months and 2 minutes. Well that is just GREAT. I grab my grey baseball hat,( not that I'm into the sport) my light brown jacket , and I leave my apartment. As I walk the the street of the city I live in and stare at the people I pass as the sound of cars and buses fill my ears. These people,... they haven't done anything to me yet I hate them. Some wear smiles and I hear a accessional "Hi" from a few of them. I have to wear a big fake smile whenever they pass. Why? So none of them ask how I am or how do I feel? I finally reach the Hospital my sister is at and I walk to the front counter and I speak
" Hello I'm here to see Amy Walker?" The lady at the desk asked
"Name?" Wow, she must have put All of her strength to say that, I respond. " Zane Walker."
"She's..." I then interrupt her.
" On the third floor, final room on the left." She then looks at me with a confused look. " Are you here often."
"I come here everyday. I've been coming here for the last 3 years and you are here every time. I figured you would at least, by NOW you would recognize me." I said to her face and gave her an annoyed face. I then walked up the stairs into the second floor and into my sisters room. As I walk into the room I see a doctor and he then says
" I'll leave you two alone." He said as he left. I walk over to my sister and I see her face. It's what I expected a soft warm smile.
" Hey bro." She said.
" Hey Amy." I then walk up to a chair placed next to her hospital bed and I sat down. I heard her say in a slightly annoyed voice.
" Come on...call me Sis, I tell you this everyday."
"Okay... Amy." After saying that I heard her chuckle but it was immediately interrupted by a cough. I then look at her face and I look at her brown eyes and black hair, the only difference between this visit and my last one was that It looked as if she had a section of her hair had been dyed lightly purple.
" When did you get your hair dyed? "
" A priest came in since..." I payed her on the back to try to get her to continue. "... So she asked me if I needed anything so I asked for some purple hair dye. "
" Hey... today's Thursday don't you have to work at a office or some other stupid job you have?" That's my sister she doesn't care about what blocks her, or who blocks her, she'll want to create the impossible but she will stop and care about her family, or at least what's left of it.
" No I got the day off." I lied I just skipped work today. She then looked at me and shrugged her shoulders an spoke
" We'll whatever. Hey do you have anything about what's going on?" I was confused until she explained.
" People are saying that there are people noticing flashes of light in the forest. Oh MAN I would LOVE to see what is happening!" She said with a lot of enthusiasm. I got a idea and I spoke
" Hey how about I go check out what's in the forest and see what I can find? " She then beamed with a grin even for a 9 year old she has a lot of energy. We spent the rest of the day talking about what the lights in the forest could be. I don't really care about the lights I only care about my sister, nothing else.
Before I left she gave me something. it was a neckless, it had a small gem inside, she said it meant hope. The lights she told me could be Fire Flys exploding for all I care. But if she wanted to know what those lights are I will find out. The doctor came in and said I have to leave. I left the hospital and went straight to my apartment. I walked over to a cabinet where I had a Springfield Bolt Action rifle with it's 15 rounds, and a small revolver. Both of them were gifts from my friend, he had a cousin who had both the rifle and the revolver, his name was Kyle Forge I think? Well, either way he gave it to him and he gave it to me. I picked them both up, and picked up a duffle bag. I usually take it before hunting and it's loaded with thing I could possibly need. I picked the three up and went into a forest that was on the edge of town. It was almost night, and since I told my sister that I would check out the forest and this is where I usually hunt I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone. I loaded my rifle with 5 rounds and went hunting.
Tonight was a bit lousy I found a rabbit, and a few possums, I killed them with knife but usually I get more, animals I guess you could say. I didn't see a single light, or a flash. I decided to leave and Packed up my things. I walked past the dense forest, as I looked up the sun was about to go down. I saw something I... can't really describe it. It was as if something opened and was trying to pull any thing that was alive in. I saw the flash of light as a little black hole. Soon I saw another, and another and another, then the last one pulled me in.....
I true to grab anything I could to hold on but it was in vain, because I was pulled in and everything went black.
I woke up and I tapped myself all along my body.
" I'm alive... I'm alive." I said with confidence knowing I wasn't dead. I looked around and saw two things. 1. I saw my bag, with my guns still inside. 2. Also I saw the "Forrest" I was in. I didn't see a normal environment everything around me was... colorful, and seemed to have a bit of detail. It felt like I was in a completely different world. I looked around and I saw two glowing eyes. I walked backward and I just looked at it as if I were having stare down. I was caught off guard when it pounced on me. The "thing was made out of wood and looked like it was ready to kill me(no duh). I felt it try to kill me with it's claws but I reached for my magnum and I fired at it's head, killing it. I rushed up in a panic and it's scratch had covered me in blood but I could be dead. I could be dead and that's all that matters. I ran with my duffle bag and the two things on my mind was to get as far away as possible, and how much the scratch it put across my chest hurt. I ran through the dense Forrest. I ran so fast I almost fell of the edge of a cliff. I set my stuff down and tried to catch my breath. I looked at the scratch if I wanted to live I would need to cover it up. I quickly looked around the area that I was able to view from the cliff. There was a entire town my first instinct was to run to the town but the second look I took shocked me. There wasn't any people, rather they were ponies. I was in shocked an the last thing I remembered before I passed or from my blood lose was
Where on God's Earth was I?
