Spring was in the air. I love spring. You can feel love blooming with every
new flower,with every new scent in the air, with every butterfly .One day
,Dan was walking me home from a movie.We were like a couple of doves in
love and we noticed nothing and nobody. We were kissing in the shadow of a
dark alley ,when two men appeared right in ftront of us.One of them had a
big knife in his hand.
-Give us all your money! Now! Quickly! And keep your mouths shut! Or the girlie gets it really bad!!
He grinned nastily.
-Here,take it! ,said Dan,throwing them some money.It fell on the ground.
-That wasn't a very smart thing to do,my friend! ,said one of the two men, looking fiercely at Dan.He suddenly grabbed Dan's arm and twisted it behind,while the other hit him.I tried to scream for help,but one of them pushed me away. I must've hit something really hard.maybe a loose stone in the wall.it all went dark.again.the same thing.where was I going to now?
-Oh,great! A forest! Just what I needed! To be ALONE in the forest! Somebody is mocking me! Ufff.. I'm not sure my heart can take this kind of adventures!.
There were threes all around me.They were so tall they seemed to reach the sky.The forest was deep and bushy. And dark..And cold. I didn't like it .And silent.Won't anything break this silence?.There was not a single bird in all those trees.Then again, these didn't look like regular trees to me.They were black, twisted ,filled with holes and.wounds.Yes, they looked wounded ! Like somebody (or something) had tortured them or forced them to grow against their nature. I almost felt pity for them! But they looked so mean! So threatening! I felt lost, hopeless and tired. I was about to ster feeling sorry for myself,when I noticed a small, narrow path leading away.Was it safe to take?Did it matter?These woods were creepy enough as they were. I didn't intend to spend my night here.Besides, I didn't have any other choice, 'coz I had no idea where I was. I walked down that path for several hours. M y feet were killing me.I was hungry and thinrsty. As hard as I tried, I couldn't hear any sound of water or any sound for that matter. I was scared!Really scared! I don't like to be alone,especially in a place I don't know..
Night fell and I wasn't getting anywhere.Nothing but these hideous trees.Wait! There's a light there!Behind those bushes!At first I wanted to rush in, but then I thought to myself " It can't be good! I'd better sneak up and see where that light comes from. This doesn't smell right and I bet it's not a friendly fire.Who knows what creatures I might find over there! ". So I crept along the path as smooth as I could. Unfortunately, sneaking is not my strongest point, since I tripped over the first bush in the way. Luckily,nothing (or nobody ) seemed to have heard me. I ..hm. tiptoed closer and closer to the light.It seemed to me I was getting to a small opening in the wood. I hid behind a large tree and took a peep in the glade. A cave? Here? And filled with light? Then it must be inhabited! People! I jumped into the opening, and ran to the cave.I was just about to enter , when I saw two lions inside, one on each side of the entry, roaring and getting ready to jump at me!
As I fell to the ground, preparing myself for a premature and unexpecteed death, I realised they were not attacking me!I opened my eyes. They were not moving! Not even one inch! The lions were made of stone!!! But they were roaring! How can it be possible? I regained my strength in a while.Keeping close to the ground, I crawled closer to the statues.They were indeed made of stone, but the light shone on them in a manner that made them look real and very much alive! The roaring stopped when I found the guts to touch one of the statues.Weird.The whole cave looked strange.It was a large room,filled with light ,but there were no torches or fires to light it.the light seemed to to come out of the walls and ceiling. There were no ornaments on the walls,no breakings , not even the tiniest crack. It was smooth .The room was shaped as a perfect sphere, except from the ground, of course.Right in the middle there was a stone table,the only thing that could be found there. On the table I saw a cup. A small, simple, golden cup, filled with crystal clear water.
