"Fi, aren't you bored being single? "Asked Vallen.

Fiona shook her head as an answer.

"Vi, you are in your thirties soon. You're a romance author, but you've never been in a relationship before. How are your lovely readers find out is their author being single all the time," said Vallen.

Fiona remains quiet, she is focused on her laptop.

"Fiona! I'm not a radio, at least answer if I ask you," Vallen was getting annoyed because Fiona didn't care about her. "Oh, I have an idea, you won't be single anymore. This can be an idea for your next novel," Vallen suggested.

Fiona gives up, she's closed the laptop, "What?"

"My best friends said, there is a forest called Red Green. Well, we will meet our soulmate in the Red Green Forest, but if we can't find our soulmate, the bet is that we will be single forever and never have a chance to leave the forest," said Vallen.

"Oh," Fiona open it her laptop again.

"How come you just say 'oh', I'm tired explain it to you," Vallen complain with a grumpy face.

"What you want, should I say, woah amazing, it's a good idea or I want to go to that damn forest. Stop hallucinating, it's still too early to share fantasy stories with me. Don't you see I have so many fantasy novels in my collections, "said Fiona while pointing at the bookshelf.

"This is real, if you don't believe it just come and proves it, how?"

"Ok. who's afraid, the story is just bullshit, get ready to buy everything I want if your story is fake," threatened Fiona.

Vallen breathed heavily. Her little sister is sometimes scarier than her.

"Fine, see you later Miss SINGLE. I'm going to visit my lovely doctor, bye," Vallen kissed Fiona's cheek then run as fast as she can. If Vallen didn't run, it was sure that Fiona's slipper would hit Vallen's leg.

Fiona thought about her conversation with Vallen this afternoon. Red Green Forest, it's not that she doesn't believe it, but her heart seems forced to avoid going to that forest. but she couldn't find the reason why she didn't want to know about Red Green Forest. Since Fiona's puberty, she always met a young man in her dreams. It could be said that this person was one of Fiona's inspirations for her novels. She and that young man are so close, but strangely, Fiona always forgets his face after waking up in the morning. Fiona only remembers his eyes, hazel eyes, he has an angel gaze but soft and warm.

"Hopefully, one day I wake up without forgetting your handsome face," Fiona muttered.

Fiona was surprised when she saw a flash of a shadow passing in front of the window. She rushed out to find out, but no one was outside. Fiona went back inside. She still thinking about the shadow because Fiona had been seeing shadows around her home lately. Fiona's peaceful life was disturbed, she didn't tell Vallen because her sister always had to connect anything beyond a reason. Fiona sometimes wondered why a doctor like Luke could fall in love with Vallen. They were opposite personalities. Luke always makes sense while Vallen always talks nonsense.

"Fi, please take care and don't be a naughty girl. Don't worry about me, there's a doctor who will take care of me 24 hours, "said Vallen while taking Fiona to the Red Green Forest.

"Whatever, anyway how did you come in? Are you afraid that you won't be able to come back? You said that we can't go out before finding our soulmate?" said Fiona. She stared suspiciously at her sister.

"With one condition, you can leave this forest if coming with your boyfriend, not SINGLE!" mocked Vallen. Fiona hit Vallen's arm before she is run away.

"I will pray you and Luke break up soon!" shouted Love.

Luke just shook his head seeing the two-girl mocking and hitting. He had been seeing this for the past five years.

"It's going to rain soon, I come back now if there's anything happens let us know. I wish you meet your soulmate soon, bye," Luke patted Fiona's shoulder.

Fiona stared blankly at the house where she going to live for a month or until she met her soulmate. But Fiona didn't know how long she would be able to return to the city. Fiona was breathless before coming inside the house, everything looks suspicious. Fiona didn't see another house near this area. how come the forest has a big luxury house? Fiona feels that she's being tricked by Vallen to join a reality show from her agency.

Fiona was astonished when she opens the door, from outside this house looks luxurious however after in you will see an ancient house. The furniture was full of carvings. There is a wooden chair, a lazy chair for books worm and a big wooden clock that will ring at the midnight. The atmosphere of the house was filled with darkness. Fiona went to the second floor, there is two rooms. In the Red and Green rooms, she was allowed to open the green room, but Vallen said if Fiona can't open the red rooms for any reason.

"Who knows that the green room is already booked? this house large enough if live alone for several months." Fiona monologues with herself.

Fiona's eyes were wide open when opened her room. Inside the bedroom has a werewolf painting.

"Fillan's family"

"Does the werewolf have a name? The more it gets here, the weirder it gets. Should I just come back?"

Knock! Knock

Fiona runs immediately, she hopes someone outside can help her come back. But the fact that no one outside. only wooden box and note on top.

For Fiona,

Welcome to the Red Green Forest. One day I will officially introduce myself. For now, I'm just watching over you from a distance. (Hazel eyes)

Fiona was stunned for a moment, by Hazel's eyes, she remembers someone who always appears in her dream. Fiona can't hide his happy face when opens the wooden box and find out the blessings jar inside.

"Hopefully, this is good to start my day in the Red Green Forest."

Fiona rolled up the note and then put it in the blessing jar.
