The moon dance

Chapter 3 forest

I wake up by a knock on my door. It was quite shocking as I froze to gather my consciousness and got up to open the door with quickly tying my robe I turned the doorknob to then see my mother, she often distanced herself from me though i haven't seen her much throughout the past busy weeks she looked in quite rough shape. I was quite worried so I asked “mother are you ok?” my voice didn’t sound calm like I wished it did. All she said was “can you please not worry about me you have the day off today so do whatever ok?... But stay on the grounds of the manor!”her voice neutral to stern loud, like everyone knew something except for me. Thank god my schedule is clear. I think I will walk in the gardens today, I think quickly as my mother is walking away. I must say I am quite bored… but why is everyone so persistent on me staying on manor grounds? It's so obnoxious. I quickly changed to a long light gown, a green tinted blue gown with lace on the top of its corset. The dress has a bit of white as well. I walk off to the edges of the garden when I feel it once again magnetic like pull. Today I WILL follow it, nobody’s watching over me today anyways I sneak my way out to the beautiful field that is by the forest and it was a longer walk than I expected but it only took about twenty to thirty minutes to walk there but I made it the forest a lush green tall variety of trees all similar greens though as I walked deeper and deeper the stronger that pull becomes what is drawing me to it so much I don't understand. While walking I decided to take a rest in an open flower patch. Sitting on the nice cool grass but suddenly I hear rustling from the tree’s surrounding and then this huge bear came walking out a 8 foot tall grizzly bear I must say it was really frightening it saw me and i froze i didn't know what to do i've never encountered this or been told on how to deal with this it looked at me in confusion at first and I have the amazing idea to get up and back up slowly to retreat to the manor and that is when it stepped towards me startling me “uhh n-nice l-little bear”I say not meaning to stutter. Its eyes are fierce, mad, angry, and I am terrified it started to walk closer, my body completely frozen, unable to move. I feel as though I'm drowning. My mouth goes severely bitter as suddenly the bear picks up pace towards me “is this it? Will this be the end? Before I can even figure everything that I’m feeling throughout this chaos.”I say barely with breath. The bear then charges towards me towering over me on its hind legs. I take a deep breath and close my eyes readying for my death. And then something charges out of the tree’s attacking the bear. It was a big midnight black wolf with bright eyes as red as blood. The wolf seemed to have some mark on its head but to be honest I am lucky it came… my head starts to feel dizzy, my vision blurry going black and white. I feel faint from the shock of almost being attacked by a bear and suddenly everything goes. I can slightly hear the sounds of growls and the scent of blood is strong. It gives me a sick feeling as suddenly my last conscious senses diminish, everything feels gone. What is happening? Am I just unconscious? Am I dead? All I know is the world went dark.
