Chapter 1
I walked through the thick snow with the blistering wind hitting my pale face. My ears could hear the hoot of the owls and the crunch of my shoes. My hands were numb so I couldn't feel the snag of the splinters of the wood I was holding. I had to bring it to my welcoming, humbling village. They needed it – as well as me. The winters in the village of Ecwador were horrendous. I could see the tree's trunks which looked like talons of an eagle. The holes in the trees had little eyes, each one staring intensely at me. I had finally reached the end of the spooky forest, which I then saw, the sight of my caring village.
I carried on walking; minding the holes in the snow which would send me down to the depths of hell, never to be seen again. Snow, as cold as an ice berg, fell onto my clothing, desperately trying to find a patch of my cold skin. Suddenly, I saw all the animals scurrying ahead of me. I couldn't think why? My hat fell off showing the strands of my pure, golden, blond hair. I ran but the wind was too strong for me. I dropped all the precious wood I had.
Whilst I was running for the treasured warmth of my hat I fell to the ground. I was filled with anger. I heaved my heavy body back up right. Just then a snow storm began to rise on the horizon. Before I ran to safe keeping I saw two redeyes of the devil with the noise of a howling wolf; with the droplets known as snowflakes rush around the monstrosity. I ran and ran. I could feel the back of my heels begin to lift off the ground. Sweat pouring down my face like a waterfall I finally felt the emotion known as fear.
Suddenly, I saw a hole in the ground. Not knowing if I was going to make it I headed into that direction. My legs were beginning to lift off the ground. I knew what had to be done. Using all the strength I had I jumped into the hole. The hood of my coat covered my eyes so I couldn't see the image. I heard the footsteps of a giant on the thick snow above me. I uncovered my hood which was protecting the sight of my eyes. I gasped as I gazed up petrified at a wolf's hind legs; but it wasn't a normal wolf. It could stand and walk like a human being. At the wrong moment I felt a tingle at my nose. Achoo! I had sneezed. The monstrosity looked right to left. It was petrified for a few seconds then it ran into the mist of the snow. I stayed in my hole. Relief and fear rushed through my body. I wept and wept for the hours that past.
