The Forbidden Forest

Celyn

She continued to rub her brown eyes and made a couple of steps towards the window near her bed. As she got closer to the window, she looked for the light switch and turned it on. A small room then appeared as the light bulb enlighten the entire room.

She walked six meters away from it and went to the cabinet made of wood. He opened it and took her robe. After which, she stared again at the square shape clock that hanged on the bluish-painted wall. But her eyes widened in shock when she realized that it was already five in the morning.

She could not believe that she dreamt for almost three hours as the things that emerged in her mind were too fresh to remember. Although every detail of that nightmare was not clear, it was more than enough for her to know that it was a bad dream that she could not forget.

She immediately walked towards the bathroom and opened the door. She groped the light switch and turned it on again. She removed her robe and her clothes and hanged them on the wall. Her light and soft skin was revealed as all her clothes were toom off.

Every corner of her body was like the heavens that couldn't be compared. Even the birthmark that she had at the upper part of her breast made a good image of her heavenly body.

She used her candle-like fingers to handle the knob of the shower and a moment later, the cold water poured and flowed on every curve of her body. She opened her brown eyes and stooped at the floor. She still could not get over the situation that she experienced moments ago.

That nightmare always visited her every night that she wanted to feel some rest. She thought that it happened because of too much thinking about their incoming exploration that was why she did not mind it at first. But now that it happened too frequently, she was even thinking that those nightmares were not just a nightmare, but it seemed like a vision that she might really experience not now but soon.

Every time she closed her eyes dreamed, she could see an image of a young man. But she had no idea who he was. She felt that that man in her dreams was the person that she needed to find for a reason. And whatever the reason that lies behind that man, she had no way to know it better.

A few moments had passed and she looked at the mini drawer on the top of the shower. Her naked body made everything around glanced at her, she took the soap and rubbed it all over her body. Her neck was white as Ivory and every edge and corner of her body was perfectly made that could enlighten the darkest life of that lucky one that Celyn might choose among her hundreds of suitors.

Her chin was over her shoulder while the cold water drenched her body. Celyn could see her back as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her hands moved towards her neck and slowly touched her soft wet skin. She turned off the shower first before she washed her wet body.

A moment later, lots of bubbles covered her body as she enjoyed every single moment that she spent inside the bathroom. She washed her hair and used her fingertips to turn the shower on. After that, she felt the cold freshwater flowing and refreshing her white skin again.

After a while, she turned off the shower again and then put her bathrobe on. She used her towel to dry up her long black hair as she stared at the mirror in front of her.

She took her toothbrush and brushed her teeth which seemed like a diamond that was blinking every time she smiled. The way she laugh was music to the ears that was better than a sweet lullaby.

But after she brushed her teeth, she suddenly wore a frown and walked towards the door. Celyn opened the door and went in front of her cabinet. She opened the drawer first to put on her undies. She wore them and looked inside the cabinet and looked for the dress that she desired before she went to their University.

She picked up the red fitted dress and wore it. After which, her beauty began to glow as the red dress matched with her white skin. Celyn made a couple of steps towards her study table. She sat on the chair and stared at the mirror in front of her. She removed the towel on her head and combed her long black hair until it dried.

Kring!

The ring of her phone broke the silence in the surroundings as she saw that her best friend Jenny was calling her. She unhurriedly answered the call and put the phone near her ear. Celyn made a deep breath before she answered the phone.

"Hello."

But Celyn could hear an excited voice from the other line.

"Hey! Celyn, good morning. Are you prepared for our first exploration?"

As she replied, Celyn made a deep breath and smiled. "Yes, I am always ready... Mhmm... Anyway, what time will our group mates arrive?

"I think they will arrive this morning. And I think my handsome Marcus will be with us and it is too much fun." Jenny answered from the other line with the same excitement.

“Hahaha, Jenny you are so funny," Celyn chuckled softly as she continued to ask about the trip with a slight smile, "Anyway, that's enough. Hmmm, please call me later if our group mates are ready okay. I need to pack my clothes first and most of all beautify myself."

"Okay, my pretty Celyn goodbye. Call you later." Jenny happily replied.

Celyn ended the call and suddenly shook her head slowly. She opened her mouth again as she muttered to herself with a smile on her lips. "How funny you are, Jenny."

Jenny was her childhood best friend. She treated her like her younger sister. They were too close with each other and they shared many funny memories every time that they were together. Jenny knew her too, as well as what she like and dislike.

Celyn took her phone and scrolled it down as she opened the screen. She went to the notepad app and checked everything she needed that she listed a day before her trip.

It was already seven in the morning before she finished her preparation. She put all the things inside her travel bag and before she closed its zipper, she looked for the lucky charm that she always brought and wore every time that she went for a journey or wherever she went.

Her necklace with a crescent moon pendant was the only thing she had that reminded her who she really was. That pendant resembled her birthmark that was placed on the upper part of her breast. She was the only one who knew that mark on her body because she was so conservative as even Jenny did not know about it.

Celyn found her necklace near the picture frame of her poster parents on the table. She put the gold necklace on her neck that beautified her even more.

Her red lips enhanced her beauty when she smiled sweetly. Celyn took the picture of her parents as she stared at it for a moment before she kissed it sweetly.

She turned her phone on and dialed the number of Jenny. She was ready to explore the new world that might change her whole life as a woman.
