Load Full Story

"Then it's a promise...PLEASE DON'T GO...-"  I woke up to find myself holding my head because of a splitting headache. After a couple of minutes, the headache was gone and i could see finally see that i was in a forest. 'Hmm......Where am i? Wait a moment is what is  THIS Thing.' Right in front of me was something that could only be described as a kind of five little sticks thats connected to onto other stick that was larger and longer and with dirt covering it. After a couple of minutes, I concluded that it was attached to me as well as other things, I finally focus on finding a way of out of here. Until i found that i had no way of knowing if i could even walk. So i checked what i can use to walk if needed to craw. Only to see that i have other appendages that look like it could be use to walk. Suddenly i felt that It was cold out here. So trying to ignore the cold air i spot a puddle a couple of meter away from me. I tried to stand but fell on my butt so i just decided to do it slowly. I don't know why but i feel like i can walk with the appendages near the floor. So after a couple of humiliating fails, I finally stand an walk forward, and just to make sure i don't fall over again i got a nice walking stick to help me to the puddle. i finally arrive to the puddle to see a man covered in dirt from head to toe, i was about to see more but suddenly i heard three shouts for help and a scream of agony. I don't know when but i was determine to go find the problem and but also to help others. When i  neared i smelled a very awful odor I stopped by a bush able to see the situation. Once i finally located the noise, i was shocked to see three girls( one them had red hair with a ribbon wearing a white shirt with her Navy blue pants, the other one was a girl with two tone purple hair one lighter than the other one, she was wearing a white sun-dress, And the last one was girl with a dark skin tan with purple hair a blue shirt and a dark blue jacket. they all have a bag each and they are injured all minor but still looked like it hurts plus partially ripped clothes) all huddled together and eyes closed. In front of them was an injured boy (He had Green hair an cat like emerald eyes a ripped purple jacket over a cream color shirt with matching ripped blue pants. He had a long gash at his chest which was bleeding heavily enough to die if not treated plus a bunch of cuts and bruises all over his body.) surrounded with a pack of six wooden wolf in front of them.

"GET AWAY FROM US"  the kid barely shouted in a tired weak voice"I WON'T LET YOU HURT THEM!" The wooden wolfs just snarled and barked furiously at the kid.

'He can't last any more' I said to myself.

"I wont let you hurt them even if i die i will protect them that i promise"The kid said in a loud enough voice so that i could hear it since i was like practically a few feet away from him. "I ...am going to protect her EVEN FROM YOU" Suddenly i got a  part of a flashback. If i wasn't going to help them which i was now i'm going to help get back home 'but how to handle the situation hmmm... ah ha i got it.... I'll improvise' i said.

As one of the wooden wolf was getting ready to attack the kid I leaped out of the bush i was an tackled it during it's pounce. the kids were all surprise, while the wolves were shocked that a creature actually tackled one of them during their hunt.

"You all right there kid, don't worry i'll take care of them just take care of the girls."I said. Which in return surprise him to say the least. All the while the Three girls that were huddling with each other looked shocked at me, then they....blush. 'huh... wonder why there're blushing?' I just shrugged it off.

"Hey wait-..." The boy was about to something but was cut off when the wolf started to snarl and bark again. All of a sudden he '*Pant**pant*'Panted an dropped to one knee and panted even harder Then he pass out. I motion for the three girls to come over to us ,which they did after some convincing.

" Hey take care of him OK." I said like there was no worry in the world.

"huh...wut a'bout u mi'ster?" The red hair...maybe a cowgirl said.

"I'll just take care of them and then help you as soon as i can so for now help him an go." I said confidently.

" But-" the girl in the sun-dress started. but the wolf that i tackled got up again. It charged at us only to be knocked back by a punch to the snout. The girls took the boy behind the tree, two wolves tried to follow but got cut of my me, when i kick them back. They started to surround me, then all at once they all attacked. I heard screams behind me maybe thought the wolves has me. But they stopped when they notice i was safe and that the wolves were attacking Each other. Not knowing whats happening i went towards them. they were distracted when i got to the group behind the tree .

" Hurry let's go" i said, and before they got a chance to respond i . Making sure to not hurt any of them. The kids were so into what happen that they just zoned out. All except the girl in the sun-dress Which told me the way out of the Forrest Leaving me to grabbed them an take off towards the Forrest exit. Leaving the  wooden wolves  behind.
