Jr. spent the whole day in Zebra City with his grandmother, enjoying every moment of their time together. As the evening drew to a close, Jr. knew it was time to leave.
He promised his grandmother that he would visit her more often, making up for the years he had spent abroad studying. His grandmother smiled, her eyes twinkling with warmth.
"Give my greetings to your parents," she said, handing Jr. a package of cooked food. "Warm this up before you eat it. And don't forget to come back and visit me soon."
Jr. bid his grandmother farewell, feeling grateful for the time they had spent together. As he made his way back home, he couldn't help but think about the girl he had met in the forest.
He had been thinking about her nonstop since their chance encounter, and he couldn't wait to see her again. As he arrived home, Jr. went straight to his bedroom, feeling exhausted but happy.
The next morning, Jr. told the butler to prepare some cake and water for him, as he was going out. He asked only two guards to accompany him, and they set off towards the forest.
As they reached the forest, Jr. instructed the guards to stay back and wait for him. The guards looked at each other uncertainly, but Jr.'s stern expression silenced them.
"Yes, sir," they said in unison.
Jr. ventured deeper into the forest, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of the girl. After a while, he heard the sound of laughter and splashing water.
He followed the sound and found himself standing behind a tree, watching four girls bathing and playing in the stream. Jr.'s eyes widened in surprise as he took in the scene before him.
There was Bella, the girl he had met before, and three other girls who were laughing and splashing water. Jr. couldn't help but stare, his mind racing with questions.
Who were these girls? Were they friends of Bella's? And what were they doing in the forest?
Jr. took out his phone and started taking pictures of the girls from behind the tree. He watched as they played and laughed together, feeling a sense of wonder and curiosity.
As the girls finished their bath and started to leave, Jr. decided to follow them from a distance. He kept a safe distance, careful not to be seen.
As they reached a small shelter, Jr. hid behind a tree, watching as the girls settled in for the night. He felt a pang of emotion as he saw the shelter, which looked like a local dog's den.
Jr. realized that these girls were living in the forest, and he couldn't help but wonder why. He decided to head back home, his mind racing with questions and emotions.
As he walked back to the guards, Jr. couldn't shake off the feeling that he had stumbled upon something much bigger than he had initially thought. He knew that he had to find out more about these girls and their lives in the forest.
