Honoring the Rules

Daisy shivered as she tried to look around and find out how deep she had come into the forest. It seemed like the trees had thickened more than before blocking moonlight from penetrating completely. She became aware of the sound of animals as well. She could hear the distinctive chirping of crickets. A few rustling noises as rabbits and other small animals moved quietly in the night. However, Daisy’s heart started to pound when she her distant howling coming from the woods.

“Are their wolves here?” Daisy thought, her mind racing with frightening thoughts, “I can't just stand here and let the wolves find me,” Daisy exclaimed trying to make herself feel braver than she felt.

After deciding on this she started walking hesitantly towards the path she thought she had come from. Her feet crunched the drive leaves making her wince at how loud she was being. She continued on trying to stay positive and looking ahead.
