Lily229

She felt a slight thump against her leg and looked down. It was the small, red-haired creature thumping its head against her right calve. It let out a low growl and continued to pummel her leg. "Hey! Cut that out!"

She picked the creature up by the back of its collar and held it close to her face. She was angry and hungry. The thing looked edible. She stared deep into its eyes and her heart softened. Instead of tearing it to shreds and eating it like some crazed animal, she held it close to her bosom and caressed it. "It's ok."

The creature did not fight back, just sat there and allowed her to pet him. He lifted his chin when she scratched underneath there. He was like a little kitten, only with a human's face.

A twig snapped and the creature's head popped up. In some language that Lily could not understand, it began to speak and rabble onto her as if she understood. It jumped from her arms and ran behind her. With all it's strength, it pushed against the back of her legs, beckoning for her to move.

Lily understood right away and scooped up the creature and ran away from the noise. She heard thumping behind her, footsteps pounding fast. "I swear to God!" Lily screamed. "If one more thing chases me, I'm going to go crazy!"

The creature in her arms jump up onto her shoulder and peered over. It gave a slight sound of surprise as a giant hog creature came charging close behind them. It was closing the gap fast, the creature had to do something. The red-haired creature leapt from Lily's arms and charged head first for the hog monster.

"Oh no!" Lily started to stop. Another voice came into her head, but it was dark and misunderstood. No, run! I can handle this! You must escape!

Lily's eyes grew wide. It wasn't in her head, the creature had spoken to her. With weight on her heart, she kept running, leaving the tiny creature to fight the hog monster.

The moon was weak from its battle with the sun, and the clouds easily took it over. The woods grew dark, Lily couldn't see two inches in front of her. She kept running, running straight into the darkness. Darkness was all around her. There was no light, there was no sound, only the sound of her own breathing.

A bright light in her face had her shielding her eyes. Is it another monster? Lily thought.

"Oh my God! I know right!" Lily heard a female voice from afar.

"Totally. He was all like 'you know right?' And I was so totally like, "OH MY GOD! I KNOW RIGHT?!' ya know?" another female voice replied.

Lily crept forward and peered from behind a bush. Two girls were walking on the path. They both were denim shorts and red T-shirts. It was if they dressed alike to be cute. Both had their long purple hair tied high and tight into two pigtails. Lily thought was that she had winded back at NC again.

"Come on Chrissy! I have to get home before mom gets tweaked at me again!" One girl said to the one called Chrissy.

"Molly, your mom is totally like W.T.F!" Both the girls gave off high pitched giggles as if what they said was the funniest thing in the universe. They spun around their flashlights as if they were swords.

Lily took a step forward onto the path and both of the girls shut up instantly. Lily looked at their shocked expressions and looked down at herself. Her clothes were torn and dirty, there were twigs and piece of dried mud in her hair, she was cut and bloody and she was sure she smelled like a pig. "Umm...errr....hi."

Both girls took a step back. The one called Chrissy plugged her nose. "Ew...what hole did you crawl out of?!"

"Please. I need your help! Tell me...where am I?!"

Both girls looked at each other with puzzled looks. Molly spoke first. "Well dur to the extreme!" She made an "x" with her arms, Chrissy mimicked the action. "You're in NL!"

Molly walked a little further, with Lily and Chrissy following. Lily's eyes grew wide as a city began to emerge from the horizon. The moon had grown too weak to stand through the night, the sun came up behind the city easily. The tops of the city sang to her as the sun bathed over the dark woods. Lily stood speechless. Something about the city was calling to her. There was something about NL.
