Chapter 1

Tod was nothing special when it came to his everyday life. He had a job in the local mall as a security guard, an apartment that contained all the basic necessities he needed. And a stupid dare-devil best friend who is planning to take him mountain climbing during his vacation. "Fuck my life." groaned Tod.

The view was spectacular, Tod love this if he wasn't clinging to a side of a FUCKING MOUNTAIN! over the thick forest that must have been what? a billion miles below them. "I fucking swear to god Tara one of these stupid meathead activities you drag me into will be the death of me one of these days." He yelled while bear hugging the wall for dear life.

"Well I'm sorry Madam if you can't survive going one day without stuffing you're face with donuts and jacking off to animals or whatever weird shit you get you're jollies off to.

"Tara said with a smirk before sticking her tongue out at Tod who did not look in the least bit impressed with her bullshit.

"Well at least i don't get off to sweat and pain and all other unsavoury words that describe what we're doing right now" He retorted.

"Yeah, yeah. just try not to make too much noise tonight while you stroke it, some of us will be trying to sleep" Tara countered

'why must she be so good at word warfare?' he finally started to shuffle to the small platform Tara was now standing on. "Don't worry, I don't plan on jacking it tonight" There was no way he could, he's definitely going to die as soon he lays his he down is his sleeping bag.

Tara just smirked again "Are you saying that you plan to rain my tent late in the night when all is quiet!" she gasped with fake shock dripping from every word before smiling while biting her bottom lip with her eyes half lidded "How bold of you, I thought I was the one that was going to have to make the first move. We really need to deal with all this tension between us~" Tod was used to her making comments like this as well as their other friends that have been trying o get them to bang ever since that were 15.

Tod returned her lewd look with ever ounce of charm he could muster "Well you did say I get off to animals~" He teased. But in stead of being offended she just laughed lightly and kept staring into his eyes, Tod returned the look and forgot all about his fear of falling and kept shuffling closer to his best friend waiting for him on her platform.

"You know..." Tod said without breaking from his trance "As must as I hate doing all this physical shit, there isn't anywhere else I'd rather be right now." They continued look into each others eyes as a blush grew on their cheeks, the sun shined bright and showed them in warmth despite the high altitude. This was a perfect moment that they wished would go on forever.

'Wait. what did i just.....'

Tod and Tara immediately snapped out of their trance as soon as Tod's words sunk in. All the remaining blood in their bodies ran straight to their faces as they turned their heads away from each other. " W-w-well we aren't getting anywhere just standing here, l-l-lets get going" Tara exclaimed.

"Y-yeah" was the only response that Tod could muster. As he stood there wallowing in his own embarrassment he didn't notice Tara's blush deepening with a smile refusing to leave her face.

"Thank you" She spoke softly, barley above a whisper.

"Did you say something?" Tod asked, finally finding the courage to look at her now.

"It's nothing, now come on and grab my hand." Tara reached out and Tod dis the same so he could finally get to a flat surface.

Then it happened.................... he slipped.

The initial shock prevented Tod or Tara from making any noise. Tod then suddenly stopped as the cable attached to his and Tara's harnesses stopped his from falling to his death. He looked down as the trees below before screaming and grabbing a hold of the cable as panic filled his body. "T-Tod!! Grab hold of the wall if you can!" Tara called in a strained voice as if she was doing some heavy lifting.......

'oh no'. 'oh god please NO!!' Tod wasted no time, he reached for the wall they were on as over-hanging rock formation so the walls were too far away to reach and even if he did manage to grab hold, the cable was too short, Tara would be pulled down too.

'nonononoNO!! I won't let that happen'

"Tara! There's nowhere to grab!" He called to her.

"FUCK!!" Tara screamed "Just w-wait I'll pull you up!" Tod slowly started to ascend until he could hold on to the ledge. "Grab on!" Tara called reaching out, Tod could see the strain on face, she wasn't strong enough to pull him up any farther and he was too weak from the journey there, they couldn't stay in this position for much longer or they would both fall. The world grew grey, all the sound of the world was gone the only thing he could see was, her. The girl who was always there for him, who was always there to comfort him, speak to him and listen to him when he needed her, when was at his highest and his lowest, when he love life and when he wanted to end it, she was there. Now was the time to replay her for saving his life, he wasn't going to let here die here if it was going to be the last thing he did, and it was.

He shakily moved his hands to his harness and tried to unclip himself from her. This did not go noticed by Tara however she look at what was doing immediately knew what he was trying to do. "N-n-n-no.......NO NO NOO!! Tod don't please I'm begging you!!! Just h-hang on, I'll think of something!" she screamed at him but it was pointless, he knew that this had to be done to save her. He finally unhocked the harness but held on, he needed to say this.

"Tara, look at me." he spoke in a calm manner as he tried to keep his cool. Tara looked into in eyes with hot tears streaming down her face. "It's going to be okay, this is the only way that one of us are going to make it." Tod was fighting tears of his own but he didn't want Tara's last memory of him crying and shitting himself. Tara wanted to slap Tod as hard as she could for coming up with this stupid plan, but she wanted to slap herself even harder for being the cause of all of this, he wasn't going to die because of her, he just wasn't!! Every time she tried to speak or argue it wouldn't come out, she didn't want her last words to Tod to be of her swearing or yelling and him.

"Thank you Tara, for everything" Tod put aside his fears and insecurities, for her. "I love you. Always have, always will"

Tara eyes shot open as wide as they could go, fresh tears ran down her face, she began sobbing uncontrollably "I-I l-l-love y-you too. Always have, always will." A warm feeling filled Tod, he was happy, in this moment all was right with the world. he closed his eyes and let go. as the ground was fast approaching, he kept the image of Tara fresh in his mind 'she loves me' he thought. 'Maybe if I grew some balls all those years ago, we would be more than what we already are. Oh well, life with her was still pretty awesome nonetheless'

One last smile.

"Tara...."

Chapter 2

Darkness, as far as the eye can see Tod finds himself is an empty, endless void. He could still feel himself falling even though there was no wind resistance or drag. He just kept falling for must have felt like an eternity before he saw a dull, blurry light above him. It was then than Tod became aware of his surroundings; as the light grew brighter and clearer, he is left there pondering how he is still alive. 'Wait didn't I die? Did I survive and now I'm waking up from some coma?' Tod thought. the light was bright and clear enough to make out tree tops, rustling in the wind as his ears started to pick up the sound of the world around him. 'The forest? Wait, how could I possibly be alive let alone awake after a fall like that?!' As the feeling started to come back to his limp body he calmed all his nerves with one reassuring thought. 'Well, at least I get to see her again'.

Tod could now see clearly, he was in the forest laying in the grass. He looked around to take in his surroundings, he notices that the mountain he fell from was nowhere in sight, his thick jacket he was wearing and his backpack had mysteriously disappeared. He was now simply wearing a plain black t-shirt and green cargo bottoms, he checked the pockets but found nothing. This left him extremely confused as more question arose. 'Hang on, were's the mountain? How the fuck can I move? Were's my backpack and jacket? '. He looked down at his body expecting to see a mangled mess of meat and bones, but his body was totally fine it looked as if he had just been asleep in the grass and not as if he fell hundreds of feet with heavy equipment on his back. He tried to get up, and to his own surprise he was able to do so easily, as if he was getting up from bed in the morning.

After shuffling to his feet he took a better look at the forest around him, this was clearly a different forest from the one before. This forest had a kind of hopelessness and dark aura that had all his animal instincts on high alert, he could hear various animal noises through the trees and Tod was starting to feel more anxious with every passing second. 'Okay, this is creepy but how much worse could it be?'. And with that last stupid question, Tod froze as he heard a twig snapping and the distinct sound of growling behind him. 'ohbabyJesusfuckohmyfuckinggogwhattheshitwasthat?' he thought as panic started to fill his system. He then slowly crouched down and picked up a reasonably big branch off the ground and turned his head to see his newfound foe that intended to snap into him like a slipjim. A pair of glowing, green eyes met his gaze and moved ever closer to Tod himself to he responded with trying to not shit his pants in front of his combatant.

The mysterious stalker stepped forward to reveal itself to it's bipedal pray. Tod couldn't believe what he saw, it was a fucking wolf made of wood, it wasn't very big but the glowing green eyes and the razor sharp claws/teeth were more than enough to send a chill running up his spine. The wolf then got into what Tod can only guess is a fighting stance, ready to lash out or pounce on Tod's back. Tod griped his makeshift club tightly in his fist, bracing himself for the oncoming attack from this mythological monster in this gloomy that both have him convinced that he has arrived in hell. The monster seemingly had decided that it had wasted enough time and and the first move, it charge towards him ready to pounce. Tod waited for the right moment to strike.............wait for it............wait for it..........NO!!

The wolf had pounced and while it was mid-flight, Tod spun round swinging the branch with all his might. It came crashing into the side of the wolf's head knocking it right off, the wolf exploded in a puff of smoke showering Tod in bits of broken wood and bark. He sat there in complete disbelief, he just killed that thing, he then sprung to his feet laughing and hollering about his fresh victory. "HAHAHA!!!! YES!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WORKED!!" He then begun to taught his now deceased foe. "I guess you were all BARK and no bite" Tod mentally patted himself on that back for that one. He was about to be on his merry way when he heard familiar snarling and growling. He slowly and shakily turned to where the wolf and originally come from, and saw another FIVE wooden demon wolfs look just a little bit livid. "Was the bark pun too much?" He asked sheepishly. At this moment, the bile of splinters that was the original wolf somehow came to life and reformed into the beast, Tod knew what he had to do.

"OhfuckOhfuckOhfuckOhfuckOhFUUUUCK!!!" Tod screamed as he bolted it through the forest. 'I'm being chased by fucking immortal wooden demon wolfs, I defiantly died and went to hell!!' He just kept running and running through the trees and other plants, that he swears tried to grab him, until he came to an dirt pathway. He stood in a clumsy battle-stance with the club still in hand, but nothing came. Finally he could breath, he almost fell to his knees as all the fatigue from running hit him all at once. Using his new weapon to keep himself up he turned to the right to see where the path leaded, all that lay ahead was more forest, not an option. So he turned to his left and what he saw he believed even less than the fucking wooden dogs.................a tiny purple horse, no taller then your knee, and an even small purple and green lizard looking at Tod with equal levels of shock, fear, curiosity and wonder.

"H-h-hello" the tiny, now shaking, horse said with a terrified, crooked smile.

'I think that's enough for today' said Tod's brain as he passed out on the dirt road.
