Unknown - chapter 1 -

"Wake up!" a voice yelled in my ear." You're gonna be late sister!" "Oh right.. school... School! I forgot! Thanks Moshu!" "Stop calling me Moshu, be thankfull that I woke you, mom's already of to work!" "Well gotta skip breakfast then, see ya." "Yea, see ya."

My name's Yara. I'm about 16 years old and My little brother's name is Maddox, but we call him Moshu because of some character of one of his stories. He writes stroies about fantasy things. Some are pretty good, but others are a little stupid sometimes. He has a story and in that story the main character is Moshu, but that's a very weird guy, just like he is. so we are actually making fun of him.

I'm lucky that he has this day off from school, or else I was gonna be late for school.
Once I arrive at school I notice that everybody is already inside. " Gotta hurry," I say to myself. But when I get to my classroom I see that it's empty. I walk down the hall and I see that only my class is missing.
FIELD TRIP! I totally forgot! ohh... and we where going to the mountains for a week! How could I forget? "stupid! stupid! stupid!" I yell at myself while I'm banging my head to the wall.
"Is everything alright?" It was the cute guy from next door, he's just one grade higher than me."oh yes I'm fine.. I just missed the field trip, that's all," I said with a big smile on my face. "Oh, it happens to me all the time," He said. "really?" "No, I was just kidding." "oh, my mom's gonna be soo angry, and then my teacher... she's gonna kill me" "Yeah, well my teacher is not going to be happy either. I'm late, again." "then you'd better get back to your class. I'm going home now to." "Yeah bye."

When I get home Moshu is eating an oversized sandwich on the sofa. "heej, home already? missed a field trip?" "How do you know?" "It was on the website. You know, mom's going to be really angry at you." "I know" " And your teacher to, she's probebly going to kill you" "I know..."

So I went to my room and the rest of the time I didn't do much. I draw some things. Oh right I forgot. I can draw. Mostly I draw fantasy things and sometimes I draw characters for Moshu's stories. I even drew that weird guy for him, he looks exactly like him.

I was drawing in my room when Moshu yelled from down the stairs:" Mom's home! She's not inside yet." I think that was my clue to climb out of the bedroom window and slide down the rainpipe to escape from mom. so I did. I ran around the house to see my mom just getting inside the house.
I didn't have much options to go to cause all my friends didn't miss the field trip.
But I did have one option. The wood just out side of the town. I used to come there very often when I was little even though my mom and dad told me not to. My friends and I builded a treehouse there. My mom and dad said the wood where hauted, but I didn't believe them. I didn't see any ghosts when I was little and I came there a lot.
I walked a very long time, because the treehouse was almost in the middle of the forest. But I remembered the exact way. When I got there I saw that the treehouse was very old and it had plants growing all over it, and the planks looked like they could come off any moment. We hadn't been here for a long time. It looked kinda spooky but where else could I go? So I climed up the broken stairs, but when I was halfway the stairs I changed my mind, because suddenly a huge snake appeared on the balcony of the treehouse, I lost my grip and a plank broke under my foot I fell down the stairs and landed on my butt. "Wow that must have hurt." A strange voice said. "wha.. who are you? where are you?" " I'm up here." I looked up and the only thing I saw was the huge snake on the balcony. "Don't worry, I"m not gonna hurt you." That snake talked! "You talked!" I yelled at the snake. "Yes I did." The snake replied. "You did it again! How can you talk?!" "Just like you. Well, I'll be going now. And I wouldn't come up here If I where you, You're way havier than me so I think this thing might collapse." "Yeah, thanks." I muttered.
I sat there on the grond for a while, thinking about what happened. Suddely it began to rain. And not softly. I hurried to the trehouse and sat underneath it. Sheltered from the rain, I drew some some drawings on the grond wih a stick wich almost immediatly whashed away because of the rain.

I waited a long time for the rain to stop gettiong soaked anyways because the treehouse wasn't waterproof anymore. So I started walking deeper into the woods. To find a big enough tree to hide under or anything else. I couldn't go home now. My mom thinks i'm in the mountains wioth my class, having fun. Unless my brother told my mom I ran away.

As I walked through the woods I heard something behind me. Something was following me. I looked behind me several times but there was nothing there. But I was sure I heard something. So I just kept on walking. It was really getting scary right now. I started runnning.
I heard something again so I stopped and looked around me, I picked up a pretty big stick so I could defend myself. Again there was nothing there. I turned around again and wanted to go home now. But right there, on a big rock, I saw a Lion. It was a big sparkling Lion. It had blue glowing eyes and his manes where like the wind. I thought that maybe this Lion could speak to, just like the big snake. So I asked him: "Do you talke too?" I almost whispered. I was scared that maybe this Lion wasn't that friendly. The Lion gave a big roar and his manes grew like flames being fed by gas.
I started to run as fast as I could. I wanted to go home, but I didn't know which way. But I would already be happy to get out of these woods, alive. I looked behind me and I saw the Lion was chasing me. That encouraged me to rune even faster.
I looked in front of me again and I saw a white glowing Unicorn was running right at me. I threw myself to the grond and I looked behind me. I saw the Unicorn had jumped over me and was now fighting the Lion with his mighty horn and he was kicking his hooves at the Lion. The Lion fought back like the king of the jungle, but it looked like the Unicorn was winning.
I was still on the grond watching the two animals fight eachother when the snake slided next to me. "I will lead you home, It's not safe now."he spoke "follow me." So I stood up and followed the snake away from the fighting animals.

The snake slided in front of me through the leaves, weird enough you couldn't hear the leaves move.
I walked a long time following the snake which slided underneath roots from trees or over grass or leaves. Untill we finally reached the edge of the forest. "You are almost home now. But promise me not to come here again. It's to dangerous for you kind." He said to me. I won't come here anymore."I answered him.
And I saw the town in a beautyfull sunrise. There happened so much in the woods I didn't realize it was already morning. "Thank you for leading me home"I said, but the snake was already gone.
