"Lost" was the only word that kept consuming her mind as she walked forward into this unknown forest and she was just utterly mortified.
Currently it was daytime and around noon.
The sounds of her timid footsteps kept her calm but at the same time she felt uneasy and panic could be seen on her face.
Originally, she was suppose to find her father's old farm; however, she was having trouble finding it. Her father informed her that she was suppose to take over his farm and arrive there at the begining of spring; however, she's a little late, and today was the 9th day of spring.
"Eek!" she shrieked innocently when her right foot stepped on a gigantic pebble and she cringed as she stopped in her tracks.
"It hurts..." she complained in a whisper and examined her right foot, removing her shoe and sock.
The injury appeared to be nothing too chronic and she sighed in relief.
Her body instantly jumped when she heard a vicious growl from the distance and she looked around frantically.
"H-Hello?" She stuttered timidly and started trembling.
No response.
She nervously played with her pink hair and twirled her down pigtails.
The same growl was once heard again, only even louder, and it startled her so much that she fell to the ground.
Her neon-green eyes widened as her fear consumed her and she trembled more while sitting on the ground.
Fear was paralyzingly her and she fought back tears.
A bear abruptly revealed itself from the bushes and charged right at her. Instantly, a scream escaped through her lips and she was too paralyzed to move.
Everything then happened so quickly but so slowly too.
A young man, around the girl's same age, quickly threw a treat of some sort towards the left of the bear. Instead of the bear going for the girl with the pink hair, the bear went for the treat, and fled the area.
The young man had a scowl on his face and aggressively grabbed the girl's wrist, pulling her up, and a timid squeak escaped her lips.
She looked up at him and examined his face with her frightened eyes. His hair was gold and his eyes were an interesting shade of red, almost captivating.
"You idiot! What were you thinking? Why were you just sitting there like that?!" He demanded fiercely and released his grip on her with a scowl on his face.
"S-Sorry..." she stuttered, still dramatized.
She looked down slow and tried not to sob as she clasped her hands near her heart.
He sighed. "Now why do you have to act like that? And what are you doing out here anyways?"
"I'm looking for the town that has my father's old farm... I'm suppose to be the new farmer..." she explained shyly and continued to look down at the grass.
"I see. Well, I apparently live in that town you're probably talking about... I'll take you there, I guess... Uh... What's your name?" he questioned awkwardly, adjusting his hands into his pockets, avoiding eye contact, and rolled his eyes. He really hated socializing.
"It's Miki... Yours?" she responded and looked up at him, flashing him a tiny grin.
He looked down at her, his eyes were so fierce, but so calm at the same time.
"Neil. Okay, enough with introductions, lets get going."
Author's Note: I got the game Harvest Moon New Beginning and I love it! Felt like writing a quick story about it! Miki is my character. She has pigtails, green eyes, pink hair, and she wears the green outfit.
Well, please review, it will motivate me to update :) thank you for reading.
I'm planning to update my other stories as well.
