[Chapter 1]
The dark gloomy trees loomed over me as I slowed my pace. I knew he wasn't far behind, just a few yards away. I turned back and saw his black figure blending in with the trees.
I passed an old oak tree, then turned around and went behind it. "Open dear Oak Tree, and let me in your shelter" I said, in a whisper. The old tree opened its door to let me in. "Close dear tree, and protect us from evil beings that surround the forest" I said, and the door closed. I felt a sense of protection rush through me, yet I knew it wouldn't last long. He was going to catch me, even in this tree. I had to climb the old tree to the top, and rest on the inside of one of its many branches.
As I began my journey upward I heard him calling my name, "Feronia, You can not hide from me forever, I shall find you," he said, in his cold voice. I could almost hear his cold, evil smile. I rushed to get to the top, being as silent as I could. "Feronia, come out from your hiding place, damn it!" He said, in an irritated voice. He made my sweet name sound like the name of a demon.
As I reached a sturdy branch he knocked on my tree. "Open you silly tree." He whispered. The tree did not budge; I could feel the leaves shuddering, although there was no wind. "Open or I shall set your leaves on fire." He said, this time sending a shiver up the tree. Its door opened as I scrambled into a branch. "Close wood, lock the evil out," I said, as wood filed down the trunk of the tree, closing the space.
"You cursed girl, I shall reach you, some how, some way," he said, now sending a chill up MY spine. I spit down, as if to him.
I heard him walk away and I was safe in the old strong tree. I was safe, for now.
