Chapter 1

"Aria."

Aria suddenly opened her eyes when she heard something in her ears. It was the voice of a lady, it was cold, yet her heart felts warm when she heard it. She opened her eyes- thinking of what was just that thing she heard of. But the more she thought about that whisper, the more it fades away. Maybe her brain is just playing a trick with her or maybe it was just nothing at all!

She closed back her eyes trying to sleep back, but Aria realized something. Something odd, the scents of the dry leaves and the hard rocky bed, and the rustling trees.

She rubs her eyes, trying to clear her vision. Slowly pulling herself and when everything was clear, she froze. Before her, was a bed of dry leaves surrounded by giant trees!

She was shocked at the same time, her mind went blank. "Where am I?" she said faintly.

She shook her head, trying to figure out what was just happened. She looks up, she saw specks of light that keeps peeking in the small gaps of the trees.

"This is confusing," she mumbled. Aria was confused as to why and how she

got here. Did she sleepwalk? Or did someone brought her here? But if so, why? Did she anger anyone resulting in an act of revenge? But, that was impossible! As far as she can remember, no one got conflicted with her.

She looked to herself, wearing a white nightgown and barefooted. She has no injuries. Maybe she was just sleepwalking, but if it is, it is the first time this happened to her.

She looked around to find where she should go. Right now she needs to get home as soon as possible. Her little sister might be worried about her and based on how high the sun was, it was already nine or ten am. Confused where to go, Aria just picks up the direction which she felts is the one and starts moving.

The sun was already at its highest, still, Aria didn't find her way back home. She felt a little bit frustrated and tired at the same time because she was walking non-stop. But still, she continued

"Weird" she mumbled. Aria didn't remember this part of the forest. I meant, her house was located at the outer layer of the city and was surrounded by a vast forest. Every once in a while, she and her sister will camp in the woods for recreational and get some shots of the animals leaving there. Aria was a blogger and a journalist and she likes to use the photos she got as material to her blog.

Based on what she remembered, the majority of the trees that were planted in her land was Pine trees, but right now, she didn't find one.

It is confusing for her who was leaving right beside the forest. She thought she was lost and cannot find her way back home.

Even though she felt hopeless, Aria continued to move forward. Well, she can't either went back.

After two hours or so of trekking, the sun was already descending towards to the horizon, Aria was still looking for her way. But this time was different, she's not only feeling anxious and frustrated because no matter how she looks at it, but the place was also completely different from what she remembered. She also felt hungry and thirsty.

While walking, she saw a small tree that bears fruits like Oranges but it was different. Instead of the color orange, the fruits were colored pinkish with a reddish part at the bottom.

She picked one, the sized was just the same as regular Oranges. She got curious and started peeling. Her eyes should joy because she smelt the same aroma as the real orange was.

After that, she twisted the fruit revealing a series of divisions just like what an orange has. However, compared to the Orange she knew, this one was kinda different. Its inner part was colored on slightly pinkish with a yellow like layer on top. The fruit itself was also different, instead of watery pulp, it has a creamy like Durian fruit.

"It seems that this thing can be eaten" Red thought.

She took her first bite and she was surprised. The "Durange", what she thought was the right name because it was the combination of the two fruits, the taste was not bad at all! When it touches her tongue, she tasted a little sour but when it was completely melted inside her mouth, that sourness faded and replaced by sweet sugary flavor.

"Maybe I could take one! or Two! maybe more!" She said happily.

Her mind started to drift on possible ways how she could introduce Durange to her audience. Maybe she could make a blog first on how she found it, and then the uses. Maybe she needs some help with this field, and then she can create a proposal for her network so that it will be included in one of the shows.
