The path was a narrow boardwalk. There was thick rope railing that connected to a post every few feet. It was like a bridge that goes over a body of water. The path looked weak. It probably wouldn't handle my weight. The path continued on into the trees and then took a sharp turn to the right. From there, I couldn't see anymore of it.

I took a couple steps forward and took one back. The forest intrigued me, but I was afraid to go in alone. I started considering the fact that I could go back inside and ask my dad to go with me later. I liked that better, so I started to turn around.

Something stopped me halfway and turned me back to face the forest. I felt a lump in my throat. What's going on?! I thought as my eyes widened. I tried turning back again, but the same force pushed me forward. My bare feet skidded in the dirt as I pushed the other way. I wanted to scream, but when I opened my mouth, no voice was heard. I rebelled against the force. It pushed me onto the wooden path. I wasn't going to give up. I thrashed about and kicked. It wasn't working. As the force pushed me, I felt a shot of pain from my ankles. I stopped rebelling immediately and went with the force. I wouldn't hurt myself to that extreme.

It wasn't long before the strange force and I approached the sharp bend. I turned the corner of the path and then the force stopped pushing me. I whipped around to see who was behind me, but no one was there. There was only the swamp around me and the quiet splash of the water. The turn of the path that used to be behind me was gone. It was as if the swamp had engulfed me whole. A feeling of panic swept over me and my mouth still felt dry. I just couldn't grasp what was going on. It had to be a dream! Tears welled up in my eyes. I quickly wiped them away with my shirt sleeve. I turned back around to face the path ahead. My feet throbbed from the recent struggle. There was nothing I could do about it. Something inside of me regretted even coming outside in the first place. I had a desire to turn back, but I knew there was only one direction out of this forsaken place. I narrowed my eyes on the path ahead and continued on.

This chapter really scares me. O_o The interpretation of it. Details pwn!!
