Tension flight Chapter 5

Leo woke back up to see a tray next to him. There was a leaf of water and some berries. He picked up the leaf and took a sip. It had a cherry blossom taste to it. Suddenly a white wolf entered. "Glad your awake" it said. Leo sat up in the bed in disbelief.

"what are you?" he stuttered.

"A white wolf. You should know the world you teleported yourself too was different to earth." it replied. Leo placed the leaf back on the tray.

"How do you know of me?" He asked

"Everybody knows of you Leo. Now follow me, might aswell show you around." The wolf started to turn and walk off. Leo slowly got out of bed. His senses were dizzy. Each step gave a shock of pain. He finally reached the end of the corridor to see the white wolf waiting for him.

"What is your name?" Leo gasped. Every step was exhausting.

"Tasman" Tasman replied. He looked him up and down. "Now tell me when you need break" he said and started to walked off again. They walked down right and left down several of corridors until they entered a room. In one corner there was a bed of leaves with dead flesh. He shuddered at the site.

"oh don't worry it is meat off the mullets. We won't eat you! you are too valuable" Tasman said. HE walked over to wear all the fruit was. "Now as you can see this is the storage" Tasman said and started to walk off again. "Where is Annie?" He asked. Tasman turned around. "The med area, helping the injured"he said and started to walk again.

They entered another room and Leo spotted Annie out of the crowd of white wolves. Annie looked up relieved. "You're awake," she said happily. Leo nodded and leant against the wall happy to gain a break. Annie quickly finished wrapping something around one of the wolves' paw then ran over to Leo to check up on him. "who was that 'rosa' you talked about earlier?" she asked. Leo shook his head.

"Never mind. She isn't anything important," he muttered. Annie looked into his eyes. Her ice blue stare made Leo hesitate and he twisted his head to the side.

"Well at least you're alright. I was kind of worried. You were nearly killed! and i have always had this feeling that you will help us both get out of here," Annie said. Leo sighed.

"I am nothing special. I am just some boy who lives a normal life," leo muttered.

"Then why are we here?" she asked. Leo looked at Annie again and folded is arms. His patience and temper wasn't that good. " I don't know, bit this place everything about it reminds me of my brother's imagination," he said. Annie nodded and looked back over at the wolves.

"They said we can leave when ever we want," she said. Leo started to walk out.

"let's go then," he said. He really wanted to escape this place. Annie stopped him.

"i can tell your not fit enough to leave. Rest for a few more days then we will leave," she mentioned. Leo sighed annoyed. She was so calm and in control here, whilst he was his short tempered self. What was with the sudden change in attitude? He always thought she was a quiet girl. Was it because of Millie?

Leo staggered back to where he was pretty sure his resting room and was glad at the sight of a bed. He laid down and fell back to sleep. He had a peaceful sleep when he was woken by the sound of footsteps. He looked over to see Annie was leaving the room. "Annie?" he asked dazed. She looked around and smiled.

" I was just checking up on you," she said and walked back to Leo. " You look better! i think we can leave tomorrow!" she said happily. Leo looked up her kind of in a daze. She looked at hi confused and looked away red in the face. Leo realized and bowed his head in shame. Day dreaming can't be tolerated! he thought to himself.

The next day They set off again. Annie waved and hugged the white wolves good-bye. Leo turned around to Annie when they got out of their sight. "What is so special about them?" He asked. Annie shrugged. "They were nice. They did show us to safety and cured your injury," she said looking on ahead. They walked in silence for a bit until Annie said. "Do you know the first night here how you mumbled something," she said.

"Yer," leo replied

"well do you know how it was something about a light at the end of the tunnel will lead to consequence... What if the road we chose was lighter than the other was the light at the end of the tunnel?" she asked. leo shrugged.

"who knows," he muttered. he looked up at the clear blue sky above them.

"i have been realizing that this world has the mythical animals my brother had in this notebook,"

Annie nodded and smiled. "it might mean something!" she said and looked other at a rustling bush. she stopped and a pink rabbit ran out of the bush. She threw her walking stick at it and got it in the flesh. It died instantly. Leo looked at her impressed. "I use to camp with my Dad until he died," she said. She took the stick out of the rabbit and put it in her bag. "I find it funny how the rabbit is pink," she chuckled to herself. A loud sound suddenly came around the area. Leo stopped instantly and covered his ears. It was painful and annoying. He knelt on the floor and Annie ran up to him. She obviously couldn't hear it.

"What is wrong?" she asked concerned. We were too far away from the wolves now it was only Annie and I. "Ter-terrible s-shrieking" he muttered in pain. Annie pulled leo up and helped him walk for a bit until the sound dimmed down. It was the first time hearing that sound after being with the wolves. He almost thought he was going insane, even though he had only been here for like 2-5 days. Leo sulked down on the ground shaking. Annie looked around a bit confused about what just happened. Leo rubbed his head and asked Annie to pass him the water. She gave him a leaf bottle and he drank it all sighed. He drank the last bottle... Leo laid down. "Let's rest," he muttered and feel into a deep sleep.

CHarli was standing in front of him. The strong howling wind whipping the coldest that froze his skin. Charli wasn't looking impressed. He said something but the wind was too loud that the words never reached him. Charli turned around and faded into the black. Leo reached out his hand and yelled out "WAIT!" but he was suddenly swept away by a crashing wave taking him under. He suddenly was sprawled on a rock. He looked around and saw Annie. Her back was facing him and she was looking out at the raging sea. She was humming a warming tune. "Annie?" he asked. She turned around. Her face was red and teary. "What have you done?" she asked.

"I haven't done anything," he said. He suddenly noticed she was holding some kind of object. "YOU LAIR!" she yelled and a light appeared in her hands and he was blinded. WHen his sight finally came back he was in the woods and Rosa was standing there. She looked a bit different. She was singing a tune that had the same rhythm to the one Annie was humming.

deep in the woods, under the sun's touch,

in a clearing, the daises bloom.

they open, to the warmth and happiness the sun will bring,

and when the sun sets,

they await for the sun to rise again.

one day, the sun didn't rise,

evil casted themselves in the clearing awaiting, the next rise of the sun,

to catch the fire tear~

Leo had never heard the song before but Rosa had stopped singing it and looked at leo. Her eyes were black and unemotional. As they made contact with him he fell into the pits of darkness. He woke up in a jolt. Annie was looking over him. "You're a weird one," she muttered. He looked around making sure this wasn't a dream either. She patted him on the back. "It's alright your back from where ever," she said noticing his was that dream? He never had nightmares like that before... Annie helped him off the ground. "We better head off again," she said.

"What are we looking for anyway?" Leo asked.

"I thought you knew something about this place so I followed," she said.

"I don't know ANYTHING about this place," he muttered. Annie nodded and started walking. "Well we will find our way out then!" she said. Leo followed behind her.

The walk was long and boring so Leo pulled out his sword and looked at it. The hilt had an intriguing pattern engraved into it. It was light and easy to swing around. The sun made the blade shine. He never dealt with a sword before. Annie turned around. "Stop swinging that around! you might get me!" she said concerned. He nodded and sheathed his sword.
