CHAPTER IV
I CAN FEEL THE WARMTH from the sun on my face, the breeze softly blowing around me. I can smell the faint scents of the flowers and hear the chirping of the birds on the trees. But… Geez… I can also feel the rough barks of a tree on my back. And someone annoyingly, toying with my hair.
"Geez! I'm taking a rest here! Stop disturbing me, would you?" I snapped still keeping my eyes close.
"But you've been sleeping for so long," a deep voice answered. "I'm starting to get bored."

That's the moment I realized that I'm not inside my room or in any place I know of.
Where the heck am I? With my heart threatening to beat out of my chest, I skimmed the surroundings around me. Then, I spun back facing at him.
Oh no…
