Only once

Chapter 3

Serena

I didn't hesitate to take the table the young man gave me.

As long as I get to live it wouldn't matter what this was.

The moment I walked into the room I placed the table into my mouth and bit it.

It had a very distinct taste, like blood.. Maybe I couldn't really tel, but the next few seconds all became a blurr.

I remember the taste than as I looked up nothing was there, it was all dark.

When I finally woke up I was alone.

Now here I am in this huge emty building with not a person in sight.

Getting up I walked to the room I came out of.

My clothes from earlier are all gone.

And so is everything else.

I grabbed the towel from the floor I had dropped earlier and wrapping it tightly around my body, than I cautiously walked towards the doors we entered from.

I pushed the doors open.

Sunlight hits my face.

I try to block out the sunshine holding my hands over my face, when my eyes finally adjusted to the blinding light I bring my hands down.

The once empty space was now full of trees and covered in a lush green forest.

I look back and the building I came out from was also gone.

This was so unusual.

Were am I?

Am I dead?

Well maybe this wasn't so bad, at least now I know why everyone wants to go to heaven...

I walked into the unknown world, a new place hoping to find anything or anyone other than myself.

After walking for days, and endless nights I realized this wasn't heaven, or at least not that I have heard about what heaven is like.

I have seen numerous animals and even got chased by a few deer but so far no humans.

I finally found a beautiful Waterfall.

As I jad nothing better to do i decide to take a dip in the water, I am alone anyway.

As I swim I noticed a small cave like imagine behind the waterfalls, taking the opportunity to find some kind of refuge from the outside world I swam across the lake and slowly, quietly made my way up behind the waterfalls and into the cave.

It was a bit dark but at least here I might be safe, at least foe the night.

I walked around and found a small path way from the other side of the lake where I left my towel that heads back hear.

I got my towel and walked back.

I sat at the entrance of the cave until I could see the last bit of sunshine fading from behind the trees and now the moonlight starting to appear.

The once dark cave soon becomes like a beautiful dream, full of fireflies, lighting up the darkness, and to my astonishment, I can clearly see the purple glow of crystals lining the cave walls.

It's beautiful.

I made my way into the cave just to find that it has two more tunnels running in oppisite ways.

Thinking for a while I decided to not venture to far inside incase I get lost, but instead find a nice warm corner to spend the night.

Tomorrow iI might have to find a way to make a fire or something so that at least I have little light to explore these areas.

And well maybe have a cooked meal, fish anyway.

The fruit that I have been eating isn't helping this growing hungry anymore.

I feel so hungry like I could eat an intire cow!.

Well I guess I can because I haven't eaten since well... That day... Urg..

I am losing track of time also.

So now I will make a small change, I took a stone and scratched 4 days and 5 nights into the wall.

This will be my calendar.

So hear is to being a caveman, or woman...
