chapter two pine needles

supposed to learn anything else *scoff* w-well um m-maybe your just a bad t-teacher ah danm it why didn't I say that at the time that would have been perfect...

I look around at the pine branches that surround me. then look down at the SketchBook. small light and dark lines intricately form a pattern of the very beast causing all this... misfortune.

*sigh* why must you do this to me I mean there's a 99% chance you don't even exist. so why.

I look up not knowing why or what I'm looking for. I just look up and tho I don't know what I'm looking for i know I don't find it. disappointment fludds over me and the funny part of it all I-i don't even know why

I slide off the pine branch and climb down around 6 meters till I reach the large rock that sticks out of the earth like a tower casting Shadow and darkness on its one side and warm light on its other.

oh oh oh ! like you know the scene in Brave where she climbs the rock to the waterfall it kinda looks like that but more rectangular and not as steep on one side. it juts out of the ground I the most random place but does have the most gorgeous view in all directions one even with a water fall and sunrise. its my favourite place in the world I wouldn't trade it for anything those surprisingly enough I'm the only one that comes here I'm not sure if anyone even knows about other than me. I found it one day when I got lost I was around 4 and a shadowy mist seemed to guide me. guess I had quite the imagination when I was young hu. the mist lead me here it lead me to the top I looked around and saw every one who looked for me I got so excited I slipped and fell down the 6 and 3/4 story rock I blinked and suddenly...

I don't know what happened I'm at the bottom of the rock as tho I floated to the bottom un harmed and standing I'm confused I see the mist all around me i blink once more and...its gone I slowly come back and hear all the voices calling my name the people who came looking for me I run towards them calling out I run into their arms but I don't tell them what happened knowing no one would ever believe me.

*out of flashback* I go to the edge of the Rock were a surprisingly obvious path Jets out the side of the Rock swirling around and around until it reaches the bottom I go down. I reached the bottom and there as expected is my horse raven I smile at the Black Beauty standing before me I get on her red brown black and teal saddle and hold the matching reins I use my heel to kick her off and we go

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

the door opens revealing my aunt along with the delicious smell of dinner that surrounds her. my stomach growls helping me to realize how hungry I actually am
