3 Forest

I hear Elaine saying something. But I don't have time to care about that. I'm too occupied wondering why I can't feel the ground under my feet yet. I look down, so that´s why they smiled so weirdly at me when I wanted jump out of the window. Isn't the kitchen usually on the first floor, why is it so high up!? Not only that Jack and Bill are standing on the ground smiling at me. I know that I can survive a three story fall without getting hurt, especially now when I don´t have weights on me. But it going to be hard to recover from the fall int time, to not get captured.

"Ahh" I breath out. You two sure are idiots i think as I smile to myself. Why are you trying to catch me when I'm falling, you're just going to get hurt yourself.

I lock my sight on Bill and land on him with my feet, there comes a disturbing cracking sound from Bills shoulders. Sorry Bill I think I dislocated your shoulders. I jump down on the ground and see a shocked Jack looking at his companion that received a fatal hit. I kickoff the ground and charge towards Jack. Jack still not recovered from his is wide open when I land a kick on his stomach, knocking the air out of him. Turing away from the orphanage I run at full speed towards a forest not far away. At the forest edge I look back to see Bill and jack supporting each other trying to stand up and behind them, Elaine running towards them shouting something. I trow quick glance at the orphanage and town behind them and walk in to the forest.

...

"Jack! Bill!" Elaine approached the two with fast steps

""Yes! Boss Elaine!""

"TO. THE. ROOM."

""Yes… Boss… Elaine…""

When Elaine said this sentence something definitely happened with Jack and Bill their eyes dimmed. As if controlled by something they slowly begin to walk towards the orphanage.

"Why did that girl need to run inside that cursed forest. Just when I found the perfect one, It runs off to it's own death."As Elaine says this she makes a sharp turn towards the orphanage and walks with calm steps towards the orphanage. Not a hint of regret losing the perfect something. As if she completely forgot Riru even existed.

...

I enter a the lush and green forest. Above me the spring green leaves are rustling. On the left a brook is purling. The sweet fragrance of the sky blue flowers enters my nose. If I wasn't playing hide and seek with my enemy, I would have stayed longer, observing the picture like seen with sun yellow butterflies flying calmly from flower to flower. The sunlight filtering through the green leaves that gives the impression of the world glowing in gold. For a second I wanted to lay down on the soft forest green grass and forget about everything. Slowly with reluctant steps, I continue walking deeper inside the forest to find a good hiding place.

As i walk with hurry in my steps I look around me. I can hear my heartbeat picking up, my palms are sweaty. I look around once more. Surely there is something strange going on. The happy purl of the brook is gone and replaced with a peaceful silence. The fairly young and healthy looking trees are now towering above me as giants covering the sky. Only a dim light slips through lighting up this place untouched by man. The forest covered in golden light is beautiful like a scenery from fairy tale but this part of the forest is different. Taking a deep breath fresh unpolluted air fills my lungs. Having the feeling I forgot something important, I look at the world of life spreading before me. The small sounds that I befor didn't pick up before are making a world of sound. I close my eyes, somewhere I hear the bees buzzing, above me I hear the lively chirping of birds, chirping on about their daily lives. Suddenly my heart skips a beat. Looking around I notice a gigantic bird staring at me. Almost as if judging me with its big yellow eyes. Maybe not seeing me worthy the bird turns its head in an elegant manner showing its rainbow colored feathers. I shift my attention to the trees only to see a strange slimy substance hanging down from the leaves and branches. I doesn't seem to bring any harm, but I wonder what it is.

The Standing on something soft I glance downwards. A field of fluffy moss is growing underneath my bare feet. The slightly damp moss is cool against my bare skin. Carefully, not to damage the moss I take a step forward, my previously anxious feelings about this dark forest are like blown away by the wind. I feel the corner of my lip tug upwards and my eyes widening. My heart is racing. I feel more alive than ever. The whole forest is more alive than any other place I went to. I lay down by the root of the biggest and oldest tree I find. The mysteriously warm and rough bark .

I wake up feeling strangely sluggish, like waking up from a long dream. A dream you still remembered the second you woke up but forgot the moment after. Leaving just a hazy memory that you forgot something important. I wonder if it is a normal feeling. At least I want to think that it is. I have heard that you can predict the future with the help of dreams. That would at least help my situation now. In the first place it is weird that I suddenly let down my guard and felt like wandering around the forest, when I was in the middle of escaping. Also I'm sure I fell asleep under a tree, so why am I in a completely different place. Surrounded from all sides by lush green walls made from plants, I look around me trying to find a way out. After further inspecting the walls I discover that they are made from wood cover in moss. Am I in someones house, I wonder.

"I can't find a way out. Why are all this weird things happening after I left masters place." I say helplessly sitting down.

What a weird place it's so peaceful, but there is this weird feeling telling me that something is wrong. But there in nothing here except walls and plants. I feels so nice to be here, maybe I should stay here a little longer. With a smile on my face I lay down on the floor of moss and small white flower.

"Me mother father forever together smiling."

Remembering the picture I drew of my family and that one sentence I wrote when I was a child. One of the few happy memories I have left from my family. And now I'm making it a sad one. Shedding tears to the naive and ignorant me from the past.

"Me , mother and father, torn apart forever and by their choice"

Don't think about it, it wasn't their choice!!! It wasn't their choice, casting me aside, leaving me alone crying. It wasn't their choice... I just wasn't as important, our maybe I was just to important.

"Master, I'm sorry, I promised you I wouldn't think about the past?" I ask, knowing there is no way of Master hearing me.

"It's just I feel so vulnerable"

I miss the people I love, the warmth they gave me and the vague memory of mother holding my hand. I hate the people I love, for leaving me alone. I envy the people I love, leaving this cruel world behind. I turn my head to the side looking at the white star shaped flower as tears fall down my cheeks.

"NO! This isn't me! Stop messing with my head!"

I look up with determination. I don't know why but this place messes with my feelings. It's like I would get swallowed up by my emotions if I'm not careful. I can't stay here any longer. Trying to find an exit I feel my breathing getting heavier. My hands are shaking when I search the mossy green wall once more for a exit I could have missed. I feel the the room becoming smaller and smaller as I try to make myself smaller. My head hurts. Where am I? Why am I hear? I want to get out! I look at the mossy wall desperately trying to find a exit. The green thing that I previously thought was moss, suddenly moved. Eyes wide open I look at the green thing with a big eye in the middle of it. My whole body shaking I crawl backwards. My eyes darting around the room that now is covered in white eye balls. I don't want this! No, Go away!

"Don't look at ME!!!"

Sinking down in a deep dark abyss big white eyes staring down on me, I wonder if there still is a reason to live. The only happy memory I have left from my real family is a warm hand and then there's only thousands of these eyes staring at me and an never ending deep dark abyss. If that warm hand really was my family why would that person leave me all alone. I don't remember it well, but I'm sure I was left alone in that pitch black abyss for a really long time. I don't want to be alone any more. I wonder if i'll meet mother if I died, how do I even know if she is dead. Tears sliding down my cheeks I wonder if I would stop feeling this way if I died. I feel like there is no meaning to life any more, there's only a big hole inside me sucking everything away leaving behind a empty shell called me.

I feel someone wrapping their arms around me, hugging me, whispering in my ear.

"Why are you forgetting everything and thinking of leaving everything behind?"

"Why are you forgetting your promise with your master?"

"Why are you forgetting your promise to yourself?"

"Why are you covering under a little more rune-energy, letting yourself break down"
