Forest : Chapter 2

The next day, there was a thin sheet of fresh white snow on the forest floor. There was gray clouds covering sunlight. The air was fresh and pure.

I flipped up the head on my cloak.

"Hello? … Hello?" I yelled, hoping to see those blue eyes once again. "Is anyone there?"

Crystal blue eyes peeked out from behind a large tree.

I squealed with joy.

He turned his back to run away. "NO!" I screamed. "I won't hurt you… I promise."

He slowly walked toward me.

I saw the rest of him. He had dark brown hair and very light skin. And those ice blue eyes.

"I'm Angelina." I croaked.

The boy looked at me. His eyes widened. He took a deep breath.

Then he ran unbelievably fast away from me.

"Come back!" I yelled, running after him. I was so curious to who he was and why he was in this forest.

He was out of sight.

I sat down by a tree, breathless.

I sat for a while.

Then, I felt someone standing in front of me.

It was the boy.

I looked down at me with those blue eyes that gave me goosebumps. He stretched out his hand towards me. I took it and he pulled me up.

He motioned for me to come with him.

I came with him to what seemed like an abandoned campsite. It was a clearing with wood for fire in the middle and a log in front of the fire that seemed like it would be used for a bench.

He sat on the log and motioned for me to sit with him. I did.

"So what brings you to the forest?" I asked.

"Shhh!" he whispered. "Don't be too loud or they'll find you."

I nodded, but I had no clue what he was talking about.

"Why'd you run away?" I breathed.

"Don't ask questions like that or I'll do it again." He grumbled.

I nodded again.

"Okay I'll start with a simple question." I mumbled, "What's your name?"

"My name is Glade." He muttered.

Suddenly, there was a rustle in the bushes.

"Go! Go! Go!" Glade exclaimed. "They're coming!"

"Who's coming?" I questioned. "Who's they?"

He frantically pushed me to safety then ran the other direction.

I got up from there and ran home to my little cottage by the forest.
