I open my eyes, its blurry all over and the edges of my vision are dark making it hard for me to see anything. I rub my eyes and get up. I let out a small groan as my vision returns to me and see I am laying on glass with some glass shards spread around me.

*Wait a second* As the previous night comes back to me I suddenly look all around me and see body's laying all around me and start to panic, I am inside of the bus I was riding with the sun shining in on me.

I can see the seats coming off the walls *The bus is flipped on its side* I look towards the middle of the bus and see the emergency exit opened a little bit.

I run to the middle of the bus, stepping over people as I make my way there. As soon as I make it to the exit I open it to the sight of the forest, and I can hear a stream of water in the distance with mountains in the background. I step out into the grass that my feet seem to sink into as I take my first few steps and walk towards a tree and lean on it.

I take a deep breath and I can feel my mind start to come together. As I look around me I can tell I am inside of a forest of some sort in a small clearing.

I bow my head and let my arms hang at my sides, with a sigh I get up and go back into the bus through the emergency hatch and see a distant mountain on the other side of the glass. I get out of the bus and see half of it is going over an edge. As soon as I go to help the people on the bus it slowly inches over the edge. I grab a hold of the emergency exit and grab the closest person I can reach by their bag as the bus goes over the edge, I get dragged along with them until the bag gets loose and the persons arms slip out going over with the bus. (I let out a hiss as I feel a quick pain in the palm of my hand) I quickly look towards my hand and see that the bag had something sharp in it and cut through the bag into my hand and left a gash in the middle of my palm. I quickly rip off the sleeve of my shirt and tie it tightly around my hand.

I start to get the idea that I might be alone and look over the edge only to see nothing but a lake with raging waters. “What the fuck” I kept looking down at the river until I noticed something in the distance and started to get my shit together and focus on the thing I saw.

What I saw was flying and was very small, could have been a bird but at this point I was desperate for anything. I grasped the branch of a nearby tree with my good hand and started to climb to the top.

As soon as I got to the top I looked over the treeline and saw a rainbow streak going through the sky and going lower until I couldn't see it anymore *Its an commercial airplane landing* I thought to myself as I jumped to the ground, grabbed the persons bag, and sprinted toward the bush making my way to where the plane landed *I might be able to save those people* with that thought I sprinted as fast as could without stopping.

I am running through the forest, twigs hitting my face as I am rushing to get some help for those people if they haven't already drowned. There is light up ahead as I burst through the bush I can see a small town with a bridge leading towards it.

I start to run to the town as soon as i'm nearing a cobblestone bridge I notice that all the... 'people' here have fur... "yo what the fuck..." I mumble to myself but I see one of their ears goes straight towards me and than they look at me. As soon as my brain clicks that these aren't humans but another sentient life *what the fuck!?* I quickly run back to the forest hearing someone yelling in a feminine voice as I pass the treeline. What she said I can't make out because it is in a another language i'm assuming. As soon as I break through the treeline I can hear something flying over me but I tune it out and make my way deeper into the forest.

-Mid day-

I stop deeper inside of the forest to regain my breath and see what appears to be a wooden wolf coming towards me... It starts to circle around me sniffing the ground near me keeping a safe distance where I can't reach it, I grab into my pocket and pull out my switchblade *I carry this around to protect myself, ever since I almost got robbed. What better time than now*.

I press the button and it makes a noise, the wolfs head snaps up to me and it starts to growl at me and immediately runs at me, as soon as its 5 feet from me it lunges and tackles me to the ground and tries to bite me on the neck, I let out a huff and get angry. I grab hold its neck and throw it under me. Using my body weight to hold it down as I repeatedly stab it in the belly, each stab sending twigs and bits of wood into every direction. The wolf tries to get away and starts scratching at me with its legs but this only makes me stab it harder and faster. It whimpers and breaks into twigs after I finally stab it and drag the knife up its abdomen.

I groan as I get up, while I did kill the abomination it did rip up my shirt bad and left several cuts with its claws, but I left my sweater undone so I didn't overheat while doing a long run. I zip up my sweater to cover up my ripped shirt to keep my warmth and start to go to nearby trees looking for one that looks sturdy.

-Sunset-

I found a tree earlier that looks nice and has sturdy branches that look like they can hold up my weight. I have been collecting some wood and bark off of trees nearby and start a fire to keep me warm awhile, but so as to not start a forest fire I put it in a hole I dug so I can just dump dirt on it when i'm done. I open my bag and get out my lighter to light the fire.

I grab the guys bag that slipped off of i'm while I was trying to save him and open it. Inside I pull out a textbook which I later used to fuel the fire, A phone that is dead, a small Bluetooth speaker, some snacks and a wallet. I open up the wallet and see the kid that got suspended for vaping in the school bathroom. I groan "Of course I get the dropouts bag" I mumble to myself and put the stuff back into my bag and back onto my back.

-Sundown-

I dump dirt onto the fire and climb up the tree to watch as the sun slowly goes down over the horizon. Sitting comfortably in the tree with my hands behind my head. I get out my phone and look at the time and see my phone said's it is 1:36pm "what..." I mumble to myself. I just stop thinking about it and look up at the night sky, the stars have not come out yet but it is still nice to look at. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.


Author's Note

This is a new fic that I made because my other one Roomates wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. I felt that it was rushed so I put it on hiatus to work on this.
