Eight years later
(Alice's POV)
Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first day of September was crisp and golden as an apple, and the two best friends (Alice and Steve) strolled across the gravel road toward the library in the village, the breath of pedestrians sparkled like cobwebs in the cold air.
"Hey Alice!"
I turned around and saw Lily, my bestie, running toward me while waving hi.
"Happy Birthday!" Lily exclaimed loudly.
"Oh, Thank you, Lily." I respond with a smile.
"Where are you two going?" She asked with a smirk.
"No where close to what your thinking of." Steve mumbles.
"And how would you know what I'm thinking about?" She asks, folding her arms on her chest.
"Because you're the biggest pervert I know." Steve replies with an evil grin.
"I'm not a pervert!" Lily shrieks. Her face turns red from embarrassment or anger. I don't know. I tried to hold back my giggles, but they all came pouring out. "Don't worry Lily I don't think you're a pervert. Besides, you're the prettiest person I know."
"Alice you're so nice!" Lily tells me while giving me a big bear hug.
But its true. Her chocolate-brown hair, blue iris eyes, pale skin, and rosy cheeks could make a man drool.
Letting go of me, she went back to bickering with Steve. Out of no where someone puts their arm around my shoulders and says, "I can't believe my little Alice is sixteen already. They grow up so fast. It feels like just yesterday you had your hair in little pigtails and wore your tiny elementary school outfit."
I looked up and saw Logan, my buddy, staring down at me with a grin on his face. Ever since I met Logan he acted more of an over protective father to me than a best friend. Once Lily spotted him she shut her mouth immediately. The first time she laid eyes on him she fell head over heels. I mean who could blame the girl. The way he flips his dirty blonde hair, how his sky blue eyes sparkle in the sunlight, and how soft his peach skin is. Why, who wouldn't fall in love with him.
"Happy Birthday."
I snapped out of my thoughts and realized Logan was talking to me. "Oh thank you."
"Since Alice is now sixteen she can go out into the horrible bug infested jungle by herself." He says with a sad frown.
Its minecraft law that if your sixteen you can go out beyond the village.
"Alice?" Logan asks.
"Yes?" I reply.
"Who do you want to go with you on your little 'journey'?"
"Umm...Can I go by myself?"
I expected Logan to say things like "are you sure?" "I don't think you should." "That's not safe.", but he did nothing of the sort.
"Of course you can." He said with a smile.
Okay I've been in weird situations before, but this! This is beyond weird. "Umm... That's it? Where's the denial? What happened to being over protective?" I asked with a confused look.
All he does is chuckle, but Steve and Lily also look just as confused as me. "Well I would do that, but since today is your birthday I won't."
My confused face is now replaced with a gigantic smile. "Really?! Does that mean I can go now if I want to?"
Logan hesitated a bit then sighed with defeat. "Yes you can. But remember to carry your bow and arrows with you at all times and a sword for when you run out of ammo. Don't forget protection. Oh and if there's something you can't beat just run and hide. Also don't talk to people you don't know and-"
I cut him off. "Don't worry I'll be fine." I hug the three of them one last time and run off.
"Okay then, what should I wear?" I was in my bedroom looking for something decent, but comfortable to wear while n the jungle. I've already gathered everything I needed for battle. Sitting on my bed were two outfits. In the end I choose the one with a black V-neck t-shirt, a black sweatshirt hoodie, Oliver green cargo pants, and brown buckled climbing boots.
I was at the edge of the village walking nervously toward the jungle biome with thoughts overflowing in my head. Will I die today? Should I have brought more arrows? Can I do this? I kept breathing in and out slowly to maintain calm. The farther I walked the smell of fresh flowers grew stronger. I was now at the outskirt of the jungle biome. Now I'm ten feet into the jungle with my bow aimed and ready to shot. As I slowly walked toward an enormous mountain I found myself standing in front of a huge oasis. There was a crystal clear waterfall running down the side of the mountain which lead into a gigantic lake. In the lake I saw million of beautiful sea creatures. All the marvelous fishes with their stunning colors felt like looking at a glistening rainbow. The gray dolphins leaped out of the water gracefully and splashed back into it. The trees that surrounded the lake had orange, red, and golden leaves. I couldn't help but admire how gorgeous this oasis looked like.
"I think I'll call this place 'The Ocean Kingdom.'" I thought to myself.
While I watched the sunlight sparkle on the lake, I decided to kneel down and enjoy the scenery. Ten minutes or so passed by when I heard a rustle coming from a few meters away near a tall, lean jungle tree. I stood up swiftly steadied my bow with an arrow that had a sharp tip at the end and aimed it at where the noise was. "Who's there?" I ask in a skimpy voice.
First there's silence with nothing but the rushing water crashing into rocks on the mountain side. Then crunch! But this time it only sounded a couple of feet away. I tightened my grip on my bow. One moment jungle trees are in front of me and the next a handsome boy with dazzling violet eyes, pitch-black hair, and peach skin was standing right in front of me. I couldn't take my eyes off him, but at the same time frightened. I took small steps backward toward the lake and tripped over a stone and landed butt first and fell into the frigid water with a splash!
"Are you okay, Miss?" Said Mr. Handsome with a voice as smooth as like silk.
Even though he was the most sexiest person I've met in my life time I looked up at him and said in between chattering teeth, "Are you an imbecile or what? Of course I'm not okay! I'm freezing my butt off! Now then, if you had the decency of a gentleman by now you would be helping me out of the water."
For a moment there, he was startled by my sudden out burst of words, but after a few seconds he decided to help me up and to my surprise he was stronger than he looked. With one swift lift, I was standing on my feet. It was as if I weighted a feather.
"Your soaking." He spoke with a kind voice even though I said those harsh words.
"Huh? Oh yeah your right." I looked down at myself and noticed he was right. I was drenched from head to toe.
Now that I was out of the below freezing water the numbing air was clashing into my body making it feel like I was standing in the middle of Antarctica. I wrapped my arms around my myself to try to stay warm, but that was an epic fail. So damn cold, so damn cold I thought to myself.
"Here" Said Mr. Hottie giving me his winter coat. As he wrapped me in his coat, I noticed that his figure was slender. He was also pretty tall from the looks of it.
"But aren't you freezing?" I asked with deep concern.
"Its okay," he says with a huge smile. "Besides your ice-cold." His smile fades away replaced by a sad-ish concern look. He then bends over and cups his hands over my cheeks.
I turn scarlet.
"Are you coming down with a fever now? Your face is all red." This time he presses his hand on my forehead.
I push his hands away. "I-I'm fine. Lets just find a cave so we can start a camp fire. Look there's one behind the waterfall. Come on don't stand around lets move." As I took my first step toward the waterfall, I topple onto the ground.
"Are you okay?" He asks his hands out stretched.
"I think... I broke my ankle." I turn myself over so that I'm sitting on my butt. Then I put pressure on my ankle and yup, it sure was broken. "While falling, I think I pulled a muscle and it may be broken and boy does it hurt like hell."
"Here let me help you." Mr. Hunk lifts me up bridle style.
"W-what are you doing?!"
He doesn't answer me. All he does is walks over to the cave, places me down gently, and then leaves. I mean he just leaves. No good-bye no nothing just leaves. He doesn't even look back at me! What a bitch. I told myself. Now what am I supposed to do?
The cave was so dark that I couldn't see my hands in front of my face. It was also pretty cold, but not as cold as it was standing in the middle of the open air.
As the minutes passed by, I felt very sleepy, but I was determined to stay awake like I was hoping the boy would come back. But he hasn't come back yet. I watched the waterfall pound against the mossy rocks to pass time. I don't know when, but I had fallen asleep.
I was standing in the middle of a dark room, but I wasn't alone. In front of me was a little girl. Since it was so dark, I couldn't make out what she looked like. All I could tell was that she must have been eight from her height.
"Hello." Greets the little girl with a sweet, girly voice.
"Hi there." I tried to say cheerfully, but deep down I was afraid. I didn't know why, but I was.
The little girl extends her hand to me as if to shake it. Nervously, I also extend mine, but second before I touch her hand a fire illuminates in between our hands. Fast as lighting I pull my hand back and take a small step backward. As close as I was to the fire it wasn't as hot as I expected it to be. To tell you the truth the fire was like being hugged by a pillow. Warm and fuzzy. From behind the light I could see the little girl clearly. She had the exact pitch-black hair, bright violet eyes, and white skin as me. The only difference was her age.
"Ex-" I was cut off. The fire that was as small as my fist was now growing. When I say growing I mean growing! The light of the fire engulfed every nook and cranny of darkness. Now everything was lit up.
"Alice dear." Out of nowhere came a sweet, kind voice. "I've missed you so. I hope you've been well. But I have a limited amount of time so I'm going to tell you this quickly. Whatever anyone says about you just remember you are who you choose to be and no one shall change that."
That voice! I thought to myself. It cant be. Can it?
"Mom!" I shouted with all my might. "Mom, is that you? Where are you?"
"Its okay my sweet child." She replied in a calm voice.
Turning my head, I saw a black figure standing alone, in the distance. As soon as I looked at it I knew that was my mother.
"Mom!" I screamed, tears rolling down my face.
I ran toward her as fast as my legs could run.
"Happy Birthday, Alice." She spoke softly.
I opened my eyes and I was now in the same cave as I once was in, but it was much brighter than before. As my vision steadied, I noticed there was a camp fire in front of me keeping me warm, a blanket was placed over me, and my things laid upon the wall of the cave.
"Well, well it seems that you're finally awake."
sitting right next to me was the same boy from the lake.
"Why didn't you wake me?" I asked, trying to sit up.
"When I came back, you were asleep. I couldn't help but admire that adorable sleeping face of yours." He said with a bright smile, "Oh and I bandaged your ankle for you."
I flew the blanket off and to my surprise it was bandaged and neatly well done.
"Anyway, why were you crying?" He asked, wiping under my eyes.
"Well because..."
Hey guys! Sorry for the late upload, but I was "busy". By busy I mean I got a bit lazy on continuing the story. Although from now on I'll try and have these upload at least once a week. (Maybe) But if not in a month or so then maybe I've died. If I do tell my parents I loved them! And tell my sister I loved her too. (Not) Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Chapter 4 will be up soon. Okay that's it so bye for now. (^-^)
