: The Whosa Whatsa?

It had been roughly ten minutes, but it felt like it had been much longer to Holly who was

holding on to the strange creature's fur and trying to stay warm at the same time. The creature

soon began to decend and Holly had to lean back to keep herself from sliding over the neck

and head of the beast. Holly closed her eyes and waited for them to land-it was a soft landing as

all four feet of the creature touched the cool ground.She slid off of the beast as if it were a horse

and noted that they were on the outskirts of a small village, unnoticed was the creature transforming

back into it's small version and lept onto holly's shoulder.

'Where are we?'

she asked, just able to make out the dark looming shapes of mountains not too far from the other side

of the village. The creature made a loud squeek before leaping off of holly and dashing towards the

village. Reluctantly holly followed, deciding it was best to stick close to the beast then to hang around

in the dark wildness of this unknown place. The beast jumped into a window that belonged to an old

and run down shack, it looked as if it had been abandoned for years-taking a deep breath Holly

approached and hoped that no strange monsters were living there now. Suddenly a woman stepped

out of the house with the small creature in her arms, she was wearing a dark blue kimono and white

pants, her dark hair was tied back by a blue ribbon. She was looking around in the dark as if looking

for what her pet had brought home, her gaze stopped as soon as it had landed on Holly. The woman

placed her pet down before dashing towards holly, trying not to trip over her loose clothing.

'HUG!!!!!!!!!!'

before Holly could respond she found herself in the midst of a strong bear hug by none other then

Amber. When she finally let go, Holly fell back and landed with a 'thud' on her rump-Amber laughed

as Holly stared up at her friend unbelieving.

'is that really you, Amber?'

she asked, pulling herself to her feet and dusting herself off for the third time that night.

'NO, I'm Poppy MacSeeden!'

'Don't need to be sarcastic, you know.'

Amber was still grinning, but tilted her head as Holly took a few steps back to put distance between

them.

'Something wrong?'

'The last 'Friend' I ran into ended up being a fake and tried to kill me.'

holly replied trying to convince herself that this time it really was one of her friends, but it was hard

to do as she felt so confused and scared. Amber began to laugh and cross her arms infront of her

chest, giving holly a mock hurt look.

'You should know that it's really me!'

'I know, I mean, I want to trust myself, but...I don't know where I am or how I got here. or How you

got here no less.'

she sighed and looked back at the forest, she hated this feeling, she wanted to trust in what she saw

and in her friends, but after what had just happened...she doubted that that strange woman would

be back to save her this time, and if she did she wanted to kill Holly, for some reason unknown to

her at this moment. While Holly was deep in thought Amber grabbed her by the arm-instinctively

Holly pulled back as that was the exact way the fake Chris had grabbed her. Amber looked at her

friend and frowned, she grabbed Holly's arm again with more force this time.

'I'm the real Amber, now if you want to know what's going on, come with me!'

holly pulled away again, but this time it was from shock more then anything, amber was obviously

growing more and more aggitated.

'Amber, you know what's going on!?where we are and who's here and why we're here?'

holly demanded to know,

'well, if you don't come with me I won't tell where to find, Ali and Brian and chris...'

she trailed off when she saw the look of shock on Holly's face, it made amber giggle, but they

really had to get inside, she could smell the stench of evil coming and if it were to find them like

this, it wouldn't be too good at all.

'how long have you all been here?'

'er...about a week, now can we get inside?'

amber tried to get Holly to follow her, but holly refused to move from her spot, the smell was

growing stronger with each passing moment.

'and none of you thought to let me know! don't you care how worried I've been!?'

she turned and began to walk away from the village, Amber tried to stop her but it was useless, Holly

was dead set on leaving.

'Holly-wait! let me explain...'

'Go away!'

with that she dashed into the dark forest trying to tune out Amber's calls for her to stop and come

back. Holly ran as far into the forest before she tripped over an uprooted root and sobbed into her

hands out of frusteration.she let the anger wash out of her with her tears and she sat for a long time

just looking at the ground and regaining her senses, thinking of how foolish she had been to run

away from the village, she wouldn't be able to find her way back-but she felt so betrayed by her

friends at that point in time.

'well, maybe they couldn't tell me. or get back. it's not like I wouldn't have believed them, cuz after

all I am the most gullible of the group. heh.well, I guess I'll find my way back to the village and

apologize to Amber-I'm sure she'll understand. sigh. or something...'

she looked around, her eyes had just barely begun to adjust to the darkness around her, she saw a

large tree with many bushes around it and decided to spend the night there-the trees were far too

tall for her to climb up anyways. she set her red sweater down on the ground and covered herself

with the bushes, hoping to camaflouge herself enough that nothing would spot her and try and eat her

while she slept. Holly curled up the best she could and tried to stay as still as possible, trying to ignore

all the creepy noises of the forest, she let out a small sigh and stopped worring. She soon found

herself falling into a light and dreamless slumber-every noise woke her up and she would take a

moment to try and locate the source of it. At one point in the night something on a branch above

her made a noise and some leaves came floating down to her-she woke up and looked up only to

faguely see the outline of the lowest branch about a good thirty feet from where she laid. she

figured it was just an owl, or some other animal trying not to be something else's dinner. with a

large yawn, Holly closed her eyes and fell back to sleep-she never saw the pair of golden eyes

watching over her as she slept the rest of the night....
