A fourteen year old boy was trampling through a forest, he knew where he was heading… the one place he could be himself. He finally reached the tree he was looking for and pulled himself up onto the first branch which was only a foot off the ground. It didn't take him long to get near ten metres off the ground. He was just about to get up onto the next branch when there was a loud growling sound. The boy jumped and lost his footing leaving just two hands on the branch above saving him from plummeting to the ground. He tried to reach another branch with his feet but he couldn't find one. Suddenly there was a loud crash at the bottom of the tree and the tree started to sway to the left sending the boy crashing against the bark. He grunted before starting to panic when he started to slip. There was another growl and the boy looked down to see a rhino type creature but the boy knew it wasn't a rhino as rhino's could never get that big. Its teeth were massive and the boy started to get scared when the creature started to charge at the tree again. It was getting closer and closer by the second. He needed to do something. The boy scanned the forest below for a plan and frowned when he saw flickering silver light. But before he could do anything the creature hit the tree. The hit was powerful and the tree began to fall.
The tree hit the ground and the impact made the boy hit his head against the tree. He grunted before holding his hand to his head. The creature towered above him and the boy scampered backwards, turned on his front and hurried to his feet. He ran but the creature followed. It wasn't about to give up that easily. There was only one thing for it and without thinking, the boy ran through the silver light, disappearing from the forest. Then the forest was quiet. The creature had turned and ran off in a different direction and the flickering silver light stayed shinning peacefully as if it was waiting for something else to happen.
I know it's short but this is just the beginning. The next chapter will be up soon.
