Chapter 10

"The rabbit's whole"

It was dawn when Ciela along with Sebastian and Kairi began their journey to search for the heart of Michael. They went onto the forest that Kairi told them where they could find the heart of Michael which was just near the entrance of the village.

The was dark and mysterious like one from hose horror movies, the trees itself look alive and breathing

"So this is the forest of Michael." Ciela said while looking beyond the trees and mist trying to figure a way out or a path leading to somewhere promising.

"Yes, we should go here first to do to the mountain" Kairi said

"Then we should get going then." Ciela said motioning towards the entrance of the forest

"Ciela wait!" Kairi shouted and pulled Ciela towards her and Sebastian. Sebastian raised an eyebrow wondering why Kairi pulled Ciela back.

"I need to tell you something about this forest, don't just go in a place your not familiar with! You're gonna get yourself killed!" Kairi lectured Ciela. Ciela rolled her eyes and cross her arms, obviously annoyed of being lectured.

"Alright, alright, what is it? We haven't got all day."

"I must warn you about this forest, Michael's forest is a dangerous place, the trees can make illusions to distract you and keep you here forever. Always be alert, bare that in mind."

"So all we need to do is to be alert and go through the forest without being hypnotized by the trees. Got it, can we please go now?" Ciela said clearly eager to get this over with

"Ojousan, I must insist you listen to her" Sebastian said motioning towards Ciela.

"I am listening, besides… I have you to protect me" Ciela said not louder that a whisper, but Sebastian clearly heard it and cant' help but chuckle.

"Of course my lady, you will always have me here by your side" Sebastian said as he watched his young mistress blush in embarrassment.

"Very well then, shall we go now?" Sebastian said to Kairi

"Ok, we'll go now" Kairi said walking through the entrance and into the dark forest.

The insides of the forest was surrounded by fog and mist, all the trees are almost dead, and it feels like there's always someone or something watching you and following you, and just waiting for the right time to pull you down the ground and drag you away deeper into the forest to somewhere dark and quiet and kill you and just leave you there dying and to rot. This thoughts made Ciela shiver in fear.

"I lived here for two years and still this place creep's me out…"

Ciela just shivered and swallowed all her fear together with the thought of her being killed in a place like this.

Don't be afraid Ciela…you have Sebastian, there's no need to be afraid, it's just trees and fogs, Sebastian is just beside you…he'll kill anyone who dares to hurt me….it's part of his job…he would never let anyone hurt me…

Ciela thought even though she knew that Sebastian only cared for her because of her soul, and not because of her as a human. This thought has somewhat triggered a sudden and unexpected pain in her heart, she doesn't know why but it feels like her heart is being pricked by a million needles. There's something about Sebastian and the way she feel about him that she just can't fathom.

They walk and walk for hours in the forest and yet it seem like their just going in circles

"Hey Kairi, are we lost?" Ciela asked getting tired from al the walking that she made.

"I….I hate to say it but yeah, I think we're lost."

"Well, you said that the forest is using illusions right? What if this is just an illusion to trick us?" Ciela said while sitting on a big rock clearly tired.

"If I may, I think we should rest first and then continue when we fully regain our strength" Sebastian suggested.

"I agree with Mr. Sebastian" she was about to suggest a place to stay when suddenly Ciela cut her off.

"Why Sebastian, to tiring for a demon like you?" Ciela protested, confused of Sebastian's lack of strength. But Sebastian just smiled and looks at Ciela with haunting eyes, his deep gaze penetrating her very soul.

"I was only thinking of you my lady, as your butler it is my job to keep you safe and healthy all the time. I am only looking out to you." Ciela's face heated up and only looks away, refusing to let Sebastian see her face.

Shit…why the hell am I blushing? I hate this. Sebastian just smiled at her clearly amused.

Kairi cleared her throat and said"

"I think I know a place where we could stay, we passed by it a couple of times, and we're not far from it." Both Sebastian and Ciela nodded following Kairi to the place where they would stay, not long before they reached a lake with crystal clear water and green grass growing around it, it was like a paradise.

"I think we should camp here for awhile" Kairi suggested

"Alright then, I'll build us a shelter for the mean time." Sebastian said looking for some woods.

"Ciela, let's go look for some food"

"Alright"

"Don't go too far." Sebastian advised

"We won't" Kairi replied and walked towards the forest together with Ciela

"Where are we going to look for food?" Ciela asked

"There are a lot of fruits here, and don't worry, their not poisoned"

"Well, I'll pick over there" Ciela said pointing towards the big tree behind them

"Ok, don't go too far, you might get lost"

"Don't worry about me" Ciela then went on her way and disappear into the darkness.

Ciela's PoV

I was walking down the dark foggy path while I was looking for food, as much as I hate to do work, I have to because if I don't we'll starve to death and I don't want that, not until my wish as been granted. So I picked up some strange looking fruits that who know's what their called, but Kairi didn't mention anything about this fruits being poisoned, so I just picked up every fruit I see.

I was about to back until something; just at the corner of my eye caught my attention.

There was a big shining tree over by the bushes and it felt like it was calling me, slowly I walked over the bushes and walk towards the shining tree. As I went closer, I can't help but to feel the warmth it was giving me. It was like I was back home with my brother and my best friend. I wanted to touch it…

I wanted to feel if it was real, but as I was about to touch it, I suddenly fell in a some sort of rabbit hole. I heard myself scream and the last thin I remember, I saw a little girl with a golden hair standing just by the mouth of the hole, waving at me and then it was blackout.
