"hi... I'm Geraldine List...s-sorry i frightened you." Geraldine is an extremely beautiful lady with emerald green eyes,Fair skin,1.63 m in height,6m Blonde hair, plumb Cherry lips, slightly big hips, and a beautiful deep faminine voice. Parker was completely speechless he had no idea what to say because the girl in front of him looked nothing less than an angel.

"I ..i ..I'm Par...Alex Hemsworth." He realized that as a detective he must hide his identity... especially since he cannot tell who's human and who's a creature."Geraldine List...Lovely Name..." "Thank you" for some reason Parker feels strange hearing the way she said Thank you... The words felt eerie coming from her.

"But what is a beautiful lady like you doing in the forest so early in the morning mi lady?". He wonders...her appearance shows she's from a well to do family and she could be model of some sort but she's in a dense forest.

"I'm working... actually i like to pry into the affairs of lost birdies ...like you."She gives him a deep glare that sends shivers down his spine,"Sorry... i...i didn't quite get that..i ..."

Geraldine,"I'm a ornithologist...i study birds right now I'm working "She gives an intriguing smile... weird ,"This early ms Geraldine?"

"yes the birdies wake up early so if I'm to catch one i ought to start work early mr Alex..."She stares at him from head to toe and the three tents behind him,"You are new here..." she says with a hint of excitement in her voice,"You are new here indeed... been a while since a i saw a person looking so hot and appetizing at the same time...tell me what is your business here? and what Are you doing in my Lucy Forest? "She inquires,"oh ...Erm... My Friends and i just wanted to visit the Famous Duskwood...and our engines stopped working as soon as we arrived and we were still further from The hotel and it was late at night so we camped here for the rest of the night...what did you call this forest?"

"Lucy"her eyes got darker by the time she finished saying then name.

"Lucy that's an odd name for a forest... Geraldine do you know of any Hotel near by? ...my friends and i are quite hungry and sweaty we would like to...shower"

The detective is trying hard to look at her eyes...but to no avail...he looks her straight in the eyes and feels his stomach start to ache excruciatinly every second,sweat starts running down his forehead and his strength starts to meager...he gets on his knees grasping for air ,"urgh!! "he screams in agony...then he starts to feel drowsy and he finds himself in the middle of a dark jungle tied with chains to a metal chair...ahead of him he sees a silhouette of a female...he can't quite see...all he could see is deep green eyes ...the silhouette is walking towards him and stops at arms length then she starts speaking,"Parker Willows...oops Alexander Hemsworth... welcome to Duskwood...my Kingdom and right now you and all your FRIENDS are currently in the heart of my Kingdom...Lucy is the heart of Duskwood and my biggest treasure and right now you are like little pests giving my Duskwood difficulties in Breathing if you don't want anything to happen to you and your husky friends...leave Immediately!... you know i haven't had a meal as Hot as you in a really long time Parker Willows ..." Parker is shocked that this person knows his true identity,he tried to talk but doesn't have the strength to even open his mouth.

Then suddenly he hears a soft female voice calling out his name,"Alex ...mr Alex! ... what's wrong do you need water? i i have water...are you okay?" He's brought back to reality and finds himself on the ground with Geraldine trying to wake him up..."O Goodness ... you're up...are you o..okay?","I think so what..
