A rush of cold air suddenly added to that bright light. What's happening? I thought to myself, was I dying. Abruptly another rush of cold air was added only this time it felt like I was falling. I look around frantically trying to figure out what was happening. The sight around me was beautiful the fluffy white clouds and the bright blue sky, I would have probably appreciated it more if I wasn't FALLING TO MY DEATH! I tried to see what was below me but I couldn't see a thing. I shut my eyes tightly waiting for my death, my hands became clammy. All at once, my body was engulfed with the coldness of the water. Admittedly forgetting already that I was in the water, I opened my eyes wanting to see what's around me only to be greeted with the sting of salt water. I then realized that I had the breath and I had no air. I desperately started waving my arms trying to reach the surface, I finally got to the top and broke the surface of the water taking in a big breath. I admired the wilderness around me; tall trees, the ginormous river I was currently in, and the high mountains that were being engulfed by clouds at the top but only for a second coming back into reality quite quickly. The beautiful wilderness somehow becoming a scary, ugly place. 

"Where the hell am I?" I whispered

Madly climbing out of the water I reached the rocky sand, coughing like a maniac trying to expel the salty water from my lungs. I stopped and looked around again really taking in the sight around me. I'm in the middle of nowhere, fantastic. As I sit on the rocky sand I contemplate my moves. Maybe I can stay here and try waiting for someone to come around, no that's a stupid idea Aletta you're in the middle of fudging nowhere why would anyone in their right mind be around here.

"Peter come on this isn't the right way" I hear a little girl say.

I whip my head around in the direction that the voice came from. Standing there was 2 boys, 2 girls, and a dwarf? Who looks like they're arguing, ok so maybe people do come around here. Should I go over to them? they don't look like they've seen me yet. I get up and start walking to them maybe they can help me, wait they have swords and dagger and a bow and arrow. Maybe going over to them isn't a good idea. I start to retreat only to trip over a stick falling onto the ground with a thump, all of them whip their heads around to me. My eyes widen and so do theirs.

"Who are you?" the older-looking boy yelled over.

They started whispering to each other, while I sat there not knowing what to say. My mother told me to never talk to strangers. I jumped up still not knowing what to say. The older girl started to walk towards me, she looked nice enough maybe I should talk to her. No Aletta doesn't talk to the stranger that has a bow and arrow. My mind was a mess.

"It's ok we're not going to hurt you" the girl walking over to me said.

" Right, that's what every person trying to kill you says" I called back the panic evident in my voice.

She was getting really close to me at this point, I decided to go with my mother's second rule after 'don't talk to strangers ' and that was ' If you feel threatened by someone run' so that what I did. Turning around quickly I started running over the hard coarse ground, and it hurt a whole lot still not having any shoes on. I could hear them all running after me calling me to stop, but I didn't. As I reached the tree line running into it, it got a lot harder to run the spikey trees scratching my face and my arms. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who thought it was hard, because the people weren't chasing me anymore. I stopped my heart was racing but I put that to the side when the pain in my feet was getting worse, I should sit down.

I sat there not doing anything just thinking, watching the bright orange and yellow sunset in the distance and looking with concern down at all the scraps on my arm. Maybe I should have gone with them? At least then maybe they would have some food to eat, now only just realizing how hungry I was. My eyes started to close, I felt really tired I don't blame myself though. One second I was in London the next I was falling to what I thought was my death, then getting chased through a forest by some crazy people with swords. The whole thing was really overwhelming, tears started to gather in my eyes. I move against a tree to rest hoping that when I go to sleep I'll wake up back in my own bed and this whole nightmare would be over. So that's where I fell asleep with my back resting against a tree with loose tears falling down my face.
