Your POV

I was dismissed from my duties for the night. As I walk from my post, I see the sun rising over the hills, daylight stretching over the town and army base. I walk to my home that is near the forest border.

I walk in and go into the bathroom, turning on the shower. I strip and step into the warm shower. I stand in the shower and think. It has been two years today since the leader of our army, Deadlox, went missing. If he ever does come back, people will start asking questions and start protecting him more. That's what will probably what will happen if he comes back.

I step out of the shower and dry my (h/l) (h/c) hair, putting on some clothes and getting some breakfast. Today I think I'm going to go look for some new plants for my garden, and I'm going to look somewhere different. I grab my basket and bag, strapping my sword sheath on my back. My bag has some apples inside for if I get hungry. I head outside, going to the left instead of right today.

After of three hours of searching and finding nothing, I realise I am right outside the Haunted Forest entrance. I have never been in and I've heard that whoever goes in never comes out... alive. I think today I'm going to go in for some plants, even if it does mean I lose my life (What are you doing!)

I step in expecting to be attacked by something but nothing happened.

An hour of searching, I finally find something. I start walking over to the strawberry bush when I hear some branches snapping and rustling of leaves. Startled I look in the direction of the noise but see nothing. I shrug it off thinking it's a bird of some sort.

In this forest I need to be careful of... SNAP..., I am suddenly pulled up upside-down as a rope trap catches my foot... traps. See, traps, these are what I needed to be careful of. I dropped my basket and bag when I was pulled up. I'm defenceless. Wait my sword. I reach on my back but realise my sword fell also. Yep, I'm defenceless. What am I going to do, it's probably an hour walk out of here and a three hour walk home. By the time I get home it'll probably be dark...

The rustling of leaves close by snaps me out of my thoughts. I panic and start trying to get the rope off. Why did we set up these traps anyway?

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" A familiar male voice cackled from the trees in front of me. "And just in time for my dinner." This terrified me even more, making me struggle even more. "Look at me." It demanded. I looked up slowly expecting death to hit me, but I saw a pair of glowing purple eyes staring at me through my tangled (h/l) hair.

The thing suddenly lunges itself at me but just as it almost gets me, the rope I have been working on loosens and my foot slips out, making me fall onto the ground on my stuff. The figure spreads its wings and fly onto another tree. "You're a clever one." The figure growls. "Not for long."

In a flash it is flying towards me. I scramble back, picking up my sword, keeping it hidden behind my back. Suddenly I can't go anymore and I'm against a tree. "W-who are y-you?" I manage to get out.

''Oh we can talk can we." He snaps. "My name is no use to you." He walks closer and I feel his claws on my neck. He lifts me up and I lift my butter sword I was given to from Deadlox on the day before his disappearance, when I earned a year of defending in the army.

"One of Sky's guards are we?" He hisses at me. "This is going to be a good meal."
"N-no, I'm n-not one of S-sky's g-guards." I choke out as my heart beets faster and I start to suffocate.
"Well, that's disappointing. Still, I get to eat." He says baring his fangs.

"I-I'm one of D-deadlox's g-guards."
"R-r-really?" He stutters. Why is he stuttering? I'm the one about to be killed.
"Yes." I say, now able to breath, his grip disappearing.

"I'm s-so sorry, I should've seen that."
"Why are you sorry?" I ask looking at his gleaming purple eyes.
