BETWEEN 2 WORLDS.

Chapter 25: Living a Horror Lifestyle.

I've never felt scared when walking in this Forest all alone but I feel something's going to wrong maybe not now but very soon, I've never passed this side of the forest before, I pray I don't get lost and the sky's already looking so heavy like its going to pour down soon, seems like

we are already getting introduced to raining season.

Everywhere was starting to get dark and the forest was even more darker. "I'm beginning to get scared now, please rain can't you just go and let everywhere be bright again", she said breathing quite heavily.

Nothing was different but the fact that the Forest was called mysterious and the fact that everywhere is dark was making everything look spooky.

The tall trees where moving heavily and shedding dry leaves, the wind was blowing heavily and made it seem like the thin trees amongst the heavy trees would collapse anytime soon.

Many birds filled the sky, making different sounds that was scaring her even more. Strange insects were jumping around as the wind was carrying the leaves away.

"Finally!" she released her breath heavily after she saw him sitting on a tree branch.

She walked faster than usual. After all the creepy and spooky encounter, she finally reached her destination.

"Jaze", she called gaining his attention.

"You're here", he stared at her from head to toe. "...You don't look good", he said and jumped down from the tree branch.

"That's far", she looked up at the branch where he jumped down from. "... I had a hard time getting here", she said.

"You were scared?", he asked.

"Kind of".

"I expected that, but I didn't expect it to be this bad", he pointed at her torn top and her hair.

"It was horrible and I expected it to even be worse than this", she said and touched her hair, it was then she noticed how rough it had became with dried leaves on it.

"I'll help you with that", he said and moved closer to her picking the dried leaves and trowing them away.

It was taking a while so she sat on the protruding root of a tree.

"Anyways you said you'll take me to where the animals in this Forest stay", she said.

"Seems like you are really excited to see these animals", he said.

"I'm so excited, I love animals a lot even though I never had the opportunity to get one", she frowned playing with her nails.

"Why?", he asked.

"My mom doesn't like animals and my dad is surely not going to agree, I'm a hundred percent sure about that", she said.

"Which means you never tried", he said.

"I tried a lot, as in A LOT, but he keeps on giving different definitions of animals and I'm tired of it already", she said. "Lucky you", she smiled.

" I could also say that to you, you are extremely lucky but you don't know how lucky you are, seems like lucky people finds it hard in knowing how lucky they really are", he said.

"You are also lucky", she said.

"Of you says so", he said.

"If I say so!, that means you must be extremely lucky since you don't know you are lucky", she said.

"Let's get going now before the cloud begins to pour down rain on us", he said and stretched his hand to her and she took them gladly.

Walking through the dark forest part, she was beginning to calm down though the sound weren't reducing.

"You are a forest guy indeed, you aren't scared of all these sounds?", she asked curiously.

"Not at all, they aren't scary, they sound beautiful", he said.

"Beautiful!, you must be kidding me, I could have faint because of these sounds, they sound like those in horror movies and here you are telling me they sound beautiful, beautiful indeed", she said raising her voice a little. Only God knows how I'm going to have a peaceful

sleep tonight.

"As at yesterday you told me you would be very busy today, that doesn't seem like it", he said.

"Yeah, we agreed on making today a free day for us all so that we'll have some fun, like going to the Beach, that's were I'm coming from", she said but he didn't reply her.

[Odd].

"I'm starting to feel cold", she said putting her other hand into her pocket.

"Do you think this rain is going to fall?", he asked.

"Definitely", she replied. "Why did you ask?".

"It won't rain", he said focused on the sky.

"And how sure are you?", she asked.

"Forget about that", he said.

"Why do you think I'm Lucky?", she asked.

"You'll find out about that very soon...see it as a goal", he replied.

"Goal", she repeated and an awkward silence followed.

Non of them uttered a word as they neared their destination.

The thought of Favour crossed her mind. She wondered why her bestie hadn't called her since she started her project. Was it because she didn't tell her she decided to do the project instead of an extra year or she was way too busy to call her, maybe she isn't feeling well, she knows her friend well, no matter how distant they are or any disagreement they have she'll still communicate with her one way or the other but to think of it, she didn't call her either.

Goodness, she must be very, very, VERY UPSET with me, I need to call her and apologize, she thought and brought out her phone. I just pray the reception will be good with the weather condition right now.

She immediately dialed her number but to her disappointment the reception isn't good as she anticipated.

Goodness knows how she'll be feeling right now.

.....

Lying on her bunk bed, she couldn't sleep, she was still trying to get over the fact that she choose an extra year over a three months project.

"I'm starting to regret the fact that I choose an extra year over a simple three month project.

Thinking the one year project would be more better and safer than that of the three month deadly project but instead this extra year is even more deadly.

No phone, no free movement, always in either the library reading recommended books or in the reading room reading your jottings or in your hostel listening to lectures online or in the hall listening to boring lectures.I find it hard to sleep, everything is even more difficult than that of a normal class. My last year in this university is starting to become an horror movie.
