Chapter Three

Mark was disturbed by the thought of him being dead. For the past three days he had been in the dead forest, at least he was in peace everyone loved him here. The Queen of the dead lands had taken him in.

"You've been here for three days and you don't know the whole castle?" the little girl who had been clingy since he arrived asked holding his hands .

"No I haven't everyone seems weary of me like I'll eat them" Mark said. Even if they all loved him , they has never made an attempt to tour him around or grant him access in conversing with them.

"Mm yea they were scared when you said you didn't die even when you did"

"well i don't remember being dead or any of that sort." The little girl rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue.

"Tsk tsk markie just keep moving I'll tour you instead ".

" you won't talk about me not being dead?"

Mark said confusingly, the little girl didn't respond but instead she dragged him forward .

Taking a halt after what it seem to be a long walk. Mark wouldn't call that a tour, she just kept walking without saying anything or pointing out the places.

"So...where are we?" Mark asked after a long silence. The little girl looked up at him with a sly smile and asked.

"Do you know what my name is?"

"No I don't and your smile is creepy don't do it"

She shook her head and withdrew her hands from his, moving backwards with the creepy smile on her face she mouthed a 'goodbye'.

Trying to understand what was going on, the little girl which he didn't blink at or remove his eyes to check his surrounding was gone.

He turned to the sides, looking tactfully he knew this was the exit , the place he came in from.

placing his right hand in what looks like a slippery opening portal, he went through it.

"Mark today is the day your misfortune starts"

That was the last word he heard before exiting the dead lands.
