cahpter 8: Taken a back

"Hmmm", I sighed tossing and turning before getting up. Finding myself covered in a pile of dried leaves near to where I entered the Forrest. It appeared a little lighter in the Forrest but it still lacked sunlight. Am guessing, it must have been daylight. I looked beside me to see my tatered napsack right beside me, with ripe and juicy grapes packed inside. I was happy for the threat but, wondered who could have done such a great deed.
