A/N Hey everyone this is my first story so don't expect an amazing story with no mistakes. Sorry about the short chapters I will be posting longer ones as I get more comfortable writing. So anyway, enjoy!
Chapter 1 - The Red Forest
"Where am I?" Charels groaned as he got up off the ground, rubbing the back of his head. "My head hurts"
But he instantly forgot about his head when he saw the sight in front of him "Wow, this forest is really red. It's beautiful."
He looks at himself in the reflection in a lake. He was wearing faded camouflage cargo pants with small rips on the knees, a pair of black sneakers, a plain black tee, a ball cap with a cheap pair of sunglasses on top, and his favorite hoodie which was thin, black, and had a broken zipper which meant it was always unzipped. It didn't bother him though he actually loved being cold, it always made him feel more alert, but always had a fire at night just to watch the flickering flames as he fell asleep.
He was about to turn and leave the lake when he felt a sudden puff of hot air roll down the back of his neck, and then again and again in a constant rhythm like breathing. He slowly looked back down at the lake and what he saw in the reflection almost made him pee himself. It was a big black bear with huge claws, glowing red eyes and a pure white mask with red markings on it.
'I'm screwed' he thought to himself.
But then he noticed wounds on the monster's front right paw.
'Since that paw's hurt it'll probably attack with its left paw, when it does I'll run to the right where it not attacking. I probably will get hit with the end of the swing so it won't hurt as much as, well getting killed.'
He waited until the creature started to attack, then Charels carried out his plan. What he wasn't expecting was how much force it would still have at the end of it's swing, but luckily he got hit mostly with the paw, but his left arm got cut by the claw when he started to fly from the impact. He slammed into a tree and was losing a good amount of blood from the gash on his arm. Stars filled his vision and he was becoming very light-headed and the monster was getting closer. But before he passed out he saw something fly by and the black bear slump to the ground. Now that he knew he was safe, he stopped fighting to stay conscious and passed out but not before wondering.
'Why do I have rose petals on me?'
A/N So that's the first chapter. I'll be updating daily so expect more tomorrow and remember reviews are appreciated. Have a good day!
