must say, I am sorry it's been awhile. I was grounded for sneaking out with my friends. SORRY! It was stupid, but worth it in a way! I'm really sorry I left you guys hanging. So enjoy this new short chapter I put together for you! (Please don't hate me, I put this together at the last minute.)

I was in a far away land, I was surrounded by a large, dull, forest. I spun in circles, trying to find him.

"Marshall!" I called out.

A rustle.

"Marshall!"

The rustling came closer.

"Marshall, this isn't funny!" I yelled in a fearless tone.

I couldn't be afraid, I'm the bravest hero in the land of Aaa. I'm not afraid of anything! I face death itself everyday! I'm not afraid!
A dark low voice spoke in the tone a lion would have, as he played with his dinner, before he went in for the kill.

"Oh? So you're not afraid, are you? Why are you shaking then?" The dark voice toyed with me.

"Marshall? Please come out! This isn't-and never was- funny!" I yelled, doubting it was Marshall.

The dark voiced laughed, mocking me.

"Who's going to find you here? I'm the only one around."

"Stop it." I whispered. "Marshall never left my side!"

"Oh? But he did. Who would want to stay with such a pathetic little letdown, like yourself? You're 'Marshall' isn't around to help you!"

"You can shut your trap! You're a liar! I won't give in! Come out and fight!" I screamed, readying my battle stance.

"I prefer to play with my toys more than fight them, weakling. You can't challenge me. I overrule you."

"This is bunk! Come fight me!" I screamed louder.

"If you're so determined to break the rules, come find me."

I circled, looking through the thick trees and darkness. I saw nothing.

"Oh wait! You can't see me! I see you though, I smell you too, and I can hear everything you say, think, and do. Don't tire yourself, child. This is how you get yourself killed,

anyways."

"This can't be happening." I whispered.

"It is, but for now, I must leave. We'll meet again though. I promise."

The earth rumbled knocking me into darkness.

Hope you enjoyed the short chapter. I'll start updating as much as I can guys. Expect the new chapters on Tuesdays and Fridays. Kk? Kk. Love you! Thanks for reading after I left you hanging! Sorry! I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!
