The Boy in the Woods
Chapter 2-
Once at home, I felt a lot better; which is not how I usually feel when I arrive home. I'd much rather be inside the school building than at my own house. My parents aren't mean or anything or disagree with one another…It's just they're never home. They wake at early hours, and leave at late hours. In other words, I'm home alone most of the time.
It took a while for me to get used to going to bed when no one else was in the house with me. Mom quit work when I was born so I wouldn't be scared, but when I entered my middle school years, I wasn't so anymore, and she went back to work.
I took my beat-up orange book bag I had slung over my shoulder and threw it onto my bed. I laid out beside it and stared up at the ceiling, trying to think of something to do.
I guess I could do my homework…How fun. I thought, or I could get on my computer and play some PangYa.
I looked out the window at the woods. The trees in it were like huge arms waving in the wind. In fact, some of them were shaking so hard, it looked like they could fall over in any second.
This is exactly why I stay clear of nature: too much things can harm you out there.
Definitely play some PangYa. I decided.
Leaving my place of deep thought, I hopped up and raced to my dad's office where my laptop awaited.
~:D~
After nearly 4 hours of Pangya, I was bush-whacked. I don't think I've ever made so many bogeys in my life! Usually I'm on a role with birdies or eagles but today was just a shame.
It was about 8:00 p.m. I didn't care to check if mom and dad were home. Usually they're too tired to come say 'hello' to me.
I wanted to call Miku, because she plays too, but she was probably still hanging out with friends…unlike me.
The thought of it made me feel like a—like a—total nasty.
I have friends at school—just none of them are real. I get most of my fame from going against the school rules. Miku's the only real friend I have. Actually, she usually only talks to me when none of her other friends are around—that explains why I don't call her much anymore. I remember the last time I tried to call Miku while she was out; she left me on end with her voicemail.
My parents ground me from my electronics when they find out about my bad acts. But how will they know that I've been on my computer when they're never home?
However, I was done with the computer for tonight.
So, After I took a warm shower, I entered the dark room in my short blue, black-frilled gown, and slid into bed. I exhaled heavily as I thought of all of tomorrow's homework I'll have to cram into study hall. I'm such a procrastinator.
I thought about school for a bit longer till I felt myself start to drift off.
~:D~
I was in the thick forest by my house and there were a pack of wolves surrounding me. One was big, gray, and white, while the other was a jet-black color. The others seemed to be similar to each other, being a brownish-gray. I didn't know what was going on because they weren't attacking me or anything, they were just staring.
Staring deeply into my soul.
I wanted to scream, I wanted to do something to where I didn't feel this unease. But, my voice was muted and no matter how much I moved my lips, the wolves didn't make anything out of it.
All of a sudden, some tall bushes nearby started rustling and the wolves slowly turned their heads.
A figure of tall height, but the look of similar age approached the opening I was standing in. It was a boy.
He didn't speak, he just store at the wolves, then at me.
I tried to mouth to him: "Get out of here!"
He just came closer and closer, approaching the hungry-eyed wolves like some idiot.
I tried to move, but I couldn't budge. He continued to progress forward. He was very close to the jet-black wolf now.
He stopped. He reached his right arm out to touch the nose of the big furry animal, but before he could, the wolf raced off past him with the others following slowly behind.
Standing there, with his hand still floating in the air, he glanced over at me and smiled. His lips then began to move, but once again I couldn't hear anything.
The sight of it was so eerie, I closed my eyes. When I dared to open them again, I was back in my bedroom.
I panted loudly, sitting up and grabbing my chest where my heart was. That was probably the weirdest dream I've ever had since I started the 10th grade.
I got up out of bed and walked over to my window, which still had the blinds open. The woods were once again shaking, but more than before. I heard a peculiar sound coming from it as well. I wanted to go get my parents, but I knew they would be mad at me if I woke them up at…hold on…2:00 in morning.
There was something out there. Was it that boy I saw in my dream? I tried to shrug it off and head back to bed, but the cry filled my room just as I put a knee on the sheets.
As much as I was frightened of the woods nearby, I couldn't help but to take the intense wailing in the distance to heart. I kept having the thought that I should go and help that thing—person, even though I dreaded every moment of it.
No, Rin, you're crazy! There's no way you're going out there. Mom and Dad would kill you if they find out your missing in the morning. I thought, Then again, I might not even go inside the woods, I might just look if I can see anything then come shooting back inside.
Was I going to go against my nature?
No. I can't.
I lay down in the bed again, getting chilled by the constant yelps.
"Just ignore it…someone else will find him."
A finally heard the sound of wolves. I knew it.
Something inside me began to bug me to get up. I tried my best to shun the terrible noises. However, I ended up just in the same state I was every time.
I wrapped my arms around my pillow and said to myself,
"Mom and Dad, if I don't return…" I couldn't finish.
I threw myself out of bed and onto my feet.
Hey guys!
I hope you liked this chapter! Also, if you're wondering what Pangya is, it's an online golfing game that you can play for free! (excluding the clothes you have to buy to power up your character.)
It's a really cool game, and I like it a lot. I'm a Senior E right now in the game and I'm a member of the LoveRiddle Guild.
It would be awesome if you could join! If you do, my nickname is Crescent99. Hope to see you on the game!
If you can't find the site, PM me and i'll send you the link!
Thanks!
