"Its been forever.. Will he ever return?" April said childishly. "I fear he will not, April. Oh, and for your information, it has only been a few months. Keep track on your timing next time, sis." A soft bonk came onto his head, signaling him to shut up. Laughter can be heard. Their farm was near a school, bad choice in Leo's opinion because of the nearby forest.
"You think anyone will enter in there?" Leo asked blindly, staring into the deepest depths of the forest while his sister looks at him in surprise.
"Of course not! Judging by the rumors no one is brave enough to even throw a rock in there. Besides, why do you care?" April said like the naive sister Leo will always remember. Leo didn't answer. He stayed quiet for a long time... A very long time. His sister tried to drag his attention but failed. Only thing she could do is stare at the same direction Leo is. She didn't see anything suspicious and sighed. 'Why do I even bother?' she thought.
A short loud noise can be heard at the farm, causing both beings to jump. It was their sheep, waiting to be fed their meal."See even they're starting to think that this is ridiculous. Lay your eyes of the the forest Leo and nothing will come out. Okay? Okay. Now go feed the sheep." she said, acting like the older one.
Leo sighed. 'One day sister, you will listen to me.'
He walked the direction where the fresh grass is, all plucked, washed and ready to be eaten by a horde of sheep. He picked up, placed it in another gated area, Then walked his way to the gates where the sheep are being held. Opened the gate and here comes a stampede runnin' your way. Leo was about to leave cause it was staring to get crowded, but then he stopped and stared at one of the sheep. A very strange looking sheep. Leo just stood there, torn between backing away and walking closer. He decision was cut short when his sister called him come into the kitchen and eat. 'Maybe its better to stay in the safe zone while it lasts." Leo thought, not wanting to take a step closer and left.
He closed the gate before any of them could get out and exhaled in relief. He could still see that thing standing still. Like it's waiting for something. Maybe space because the other sheep were blocking his way from reaching the grass, but Leo thought beyond that. He thought that thing was up to no good at all.
Once again, thought cut short by April screaming his name like a lunatic. Leo went in but didn't want his gaze to leave the unusual sheep. He had no choice though because his sister will be mad if the food is left cold. Before closing the door, Leo shot one last glance at it then left.
He wants answers, he knows his sister couldn't provide it. She would just lecture him all day, asking if his eyesight was blurry, not wanting to deal with Leo's hallucinations. He begged for help, he want someone to listen to him. If only April was able to look his direction a few seconds earlier to see the movement in the forest.
So, thoughts anyone? I'm staring to get used to writing from now on, I will try to update on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. SEE YA LATAH!
