This is my first ever Fan fiction so please don't get on to me about getting grammar, spelling, and other things wrong. I would like it if you gave me ideas for later chapters in the story.

Chapter 1

I should probably introduce myself my name is Drake Harper I'm 13 years old ,and I attend Jasper Community Middle School. It was the last day of school ,and I was just about to go with my friends to do some camping in the local camping grounds. We had all our stuff for the trip gathered and we started off to our camp site. We all grabbed our bikes off the rack near the entrance and started off to the camp site.

We got there near 5 or 6 and we knew what we were going to do. My friends Travis and James were going to set up the tent, Micheal was going to cook the food for dinner, and I was going to go get firewood. I ventured off in search of branches for me to bring back.

After about 30 or 40 minutes I had a good armful so I began heading back to the camp. When I was heading there I saw a rustle in the bushes beside me. I quickly spun toward the noise preparing to run.

It was a raccoon running toward a tree from the bushes. I continued on my way. Shortly after the raccoon I heard what I thought was a howl.

Knowing there are lots of dangerous things that howl I began to run back to the camp dropping the wood. I could hear a panting sound come from behind me. When I turned to look behind me as I was running I saw some sort of wooden creature with bright, yellow eyes that appeared to look straight into my soul. I sped my pace up as fast as I could.

When I got to the camp I was confronted by my friends. They said "Where is the firewood? And why are you out of breath? " I responded by saying " Something (pant) howled (pant) began chasing (pant) scared (pant) ran…". They only responded by bursting out in laughter at me. Travis said to me " Drake really there is nothing out there except some small animals.". I quietly said " yeah I guess you're right…". but I continued to think what if it wasn't my imagination…

Later that night

I was in the forest again. I looked around and I saw 'IT' again as well. I tried to run but my feet were rooted to the ground in fear. I quickly looked back at the creature. It's eyes were looking right at me as it moved forward. I just stared as it came forward panicking more and more ,but my legs just wouldn't move. I looked at it once more as it just looked at me. It then jumped up right at me then…

I woke up panting and looked around. I was still in the tent with Travis. I got up and went outside. I went to where we had the water and splashed some on my face to calm me down…

I t wasn't my imagination because I heard the howl again. I panic as I looked around and I saw the eyes. Those horrible, soul gazing eyes. It slowly walked forward. It howled again. It looked just like a wolf just made out of wood. It's face was horrific, It's claws razor sharp, and it's teeth don't get started. I got scared and backed up ,it walked closer toward me. I turned around and bolted in the forest.

I ran right through the forest using all my strength to get away from that 'thing'. Looking back now I saw it was right behind me. It's bright, yellow eye looking right and my eyes. I picked up the pace. Branches, twigs, and leaves all slapping my head as I ran through the forest. I knew the monster was right behind me. I continued running my legs aching in pain yelling at me to stop ,but I knew if I did I would surely get killed. I ran for what seemed like days mostly because of the pain making my mind disoriented.

I heard it howl again and it jumped up right at me and it got one of it's claws in the back of my thigh. Gasped at the pain I felt ,but kept running. I just kept thinking to myself a little further…

I never saw the hole.

I fell right down through the hole ,but I never got to the bottom. I looked up to see the creature didn't follow me down but I couldn't see the sky either. It was like felling through the rabbit hole in 'Alice in Wonderland'. The wind rushing past my face. I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I soon became unconscious…

Later…

I woke up it was still dark. I looked around and saw I was on the edge of a forest when I continued my search I saw a small cottage. I was so happy I found someone. As I raced to the cottage I didn't think about what would happen if I was unwelcome there. I ran right up to the door to see the place looked deserted. I knocked hard on the door hoping for someone to anwser. I saw a light come on in the cottage. I heard a door unlatching and when it opened I wasn't prepared to see what I did. I saw a yellow pony standing in the doorway. It had pink hair and these big eyes bigger than the wooden wolf's. The pony said "hello?". It also could talk I felt myself grow weary and fell to the ground as I quietly said "help…me…"
