Hey guys! Thank so much for the feedback on the last chapter. I didn't expect such a nice response. Sorry this chapter took a little long, it's been quite hectic for me over the week.
Thanks for reading, please tell me what you think
(sorry it's a little short)
"Kate!" I screamed as I bolted upright.
Looking around me I realised that I was no longer in my bedroom. No longer in London.
Trees surrounded me. Everywhere I looked was either green or brown. Wind rustled through the leaves and branches. My back was hurting.
Quickly I got onto my feet to look at my surroundings, to see what kind of danger I was in. All I could see were trees. I seem to be in a large forest. Reaching into the pocket of my jeans I retrieve my phone. Maybe I could use the gps tracking to find out where I am.
No luck. There was no signal. Crap. Must be really deep into the woods.
Deciding that moving on was better than staying still, I got up carefully; making sure that none of my bones have been broken. Must keep moving. I have no idea who-or what is in this forest with me, It might come back to finish whatever it wanted to do to me and that idea isn't very appealing.
Questions raced through my mind; Where am I? Was Kate ok? How am I going to get out of this place? How long have I been here?
Leaves crunched under my feet as I waked. Definitely not good. There was no way to mask the sound that my footsteps made since this forest was littered with leaves and twigs.
I stopped walking. Something seemed odd. Looking onto the ground I see that there was a high pile of leaves on the my path. I picked up a piece of rock and threw it into the pile. Straight away there was a loud snap and a net made of rope emerged through the leaves. A trap.
I quickly hid in a bush near by and waited. The sound that the trap had made was likely to be loud enough for who ever it is that is in this place with me to hear. For a moment all was quiet except for the sound of the wind and the leaves. Then I heard them. Out from the trees came a group of people. Small boys. All dressed in ran in together like a pack of pups. Excitedly chatting and shoving each other. Am I dealing with some kind of cannibal island?
Once the boys got to the trap that they had set they stood around it. They looked confused. Another boy, this time older, came from the forest. He was blonde. They all parted for him so he could get to the net himself.
He was different from the rest. More confident. It seems the others looks to him for consent. The clothes on him were more well fitted. He wasn't the tallest of the boys or the oldest but he was the most beautiful. His hair seemed clean even in the middle of this wilderness. It shone blonde in the sunlight. He stood tall, proud, arrogant. A menacing smirk drew on his lips as one of his brows lifted.
"Well well look at that, we have a fun one this time boys!" he shouted to his group, they roared with laughter. "What do you think then boys? Let's play a game!" the leader lifted a fist into the air and his group of boys cheered louder.
The wind suddenly changed directions. The blonde boy's head suddenly snapped straighter and slowly his face turned in my direction. I ducked lower into the bush. There was a dangerous glint in his eyes. As quickly as it had come, the glint disappeared from his eyes and he turned back to his boys who were still celebrating.
"Come along boys, the game has started!" with that, he turned away from the net and started to lead the boys away from their trap. The blonde boy grabbed an instrument from his belt and started playing a tune. Immediately the other boys started to dance to the music.
I let out a breath in relief as they were nearly out of sight.
I suddenly heard a shout, I tried to look at who it came from but it was likely to be the leader again."Felix!"
I heard a sound of rustling leaves, likely to be said 'Felix' going to the boy. "Yes Pan" he replied
"Take the boys back to camp, I have some business to attend to." Pan ordered
"Yes Pan"
I waited until I could no longer hear the sound of the boy's feet. Slowly, I relaxed some of my muscles which I have locked into position while waiting for the group to depart. Unfortunately I didn't realise that I was staring on the edge of a large hill. I took a step back, away from my hiding place. My foot came to the floor at a strange angle. Losing balance, I fell.
