The End of the Beginning

I awoke to the sound of a babbling creek, to moss, and to dirt. What I didn't wake up to, however, was light. This was extremely odd due to the fact that I felt completely refreshed. I stood up, and saw via the moonlight that I was in a heavily wooded area, that might be called a forest. At my feet were 7 things:

1. My foam Nerf sword, that had all the foam on the blade removed,

2. My Kindle Fire, which held my music,

3. A pocket knife, that had some odd red fluid on it,

4. A flashlight, which was on,

5. A Glock handgun, Which I identified due to my time playing counter strike,

6. A clip of bullets, presumably for the glock,

7. and a wrist watch.

I then tried to puzzle out Why this stuff was here, how it got here, and what purpose would they serve in the future. That's when another question popped into my mind:

"Why is it so bright if it's the middle of the night? Even NC's nights were darker than this..."

While puzzling these thoughts out, I took the supplies. The knife went into my pocket, as did the glock and the clip of bullets, which I tried and failed to load in. The watch went on my arm, the sword in the back of my shirt, the flashlight into my left hand, and my Kindle, which I unlocked, in my right.

I decided to look up my music and listen to a bit of it, but all of it was stored in the cloud, and there was no internet. See the problem? I then went to the documents, to see if there was any fanfics on there that I had left.

I only saw 4 files. Two were Minecraft fanfics, one was the user guide, and one was a file called "READ ME".

Can you guess which one I read? Cuz' if you guessed Read me, you'd be right.

All it says was this:

"Welcome to the Timeless Forest. Make your way out before 9 AM, or perish."

Well, isn't that lovely.

Now, some of you may be wondering why I don't seem to be afraid of the fact that I was in some random forest at the middle of the night. Truth was, I was too busy contemplating what the hell I needed a glock for to care.

I then checked my newly found wrist watch, and read it. (No, I ate it. DUR)

Hey now, no need to insult the reader.

Anyways, it said that the time was 12 Am, or midnight. After some maths, I realized that I had 9 hours until the deadline. That was not good. After all, I had no clue what to do.

"So, I have 9 hours to leave? What happens if I don't?"

However, the forest itself didn't seem harmful at all. I decided to look around and see what there was to see. I walked north, and this is what I saw:

Plants. Shrubs. More shrubs. A lake. Creeks. Yawn.

I decided to stop and take a break from the walk, and see what time it was. 12:30.  Approximately, of course. This is when I decided to test something out. I took out the pocket knife, and the glock. I looked at the knife, and saw that it technically was a switchblade. The glock, which I had figured out how to unload, already had a clip of rubber bullets in it, and the bullets in the spare clip were lethal ammo. I then spent the rest of the hour disassembling the clip, and saw that a magazine held 15 shots. I reloaded the glock with the rubber bullets, and then tried to shoot in the distance.

*click*

"OH COME ON!"

*click*

*click*

*BANG*

"Yes! YES! AWWWW YEAAAAH!"

So, the glock was working. Bad news, I was missing 1 bullet, and god knows when I'll get-

Wait a minute, what's that?

I heard a scream from the north!
