Licorice's day out

Walking through the forest

Licorice POV

The forest was nice. It's hard to say why it felt nice, I hated everything that was in it by itself. But when it is all combined it's soothing.

Its getting hot.

I take of the hood and let down my hair. I should take a break, I don't want anything bad to happen now. Or i'll be caught and that the last thing I want to happen. But I've gone this far, might as well walk I bit more. It wouldn't hurt anyone.

BARK, bark

Sounds like a cakehound. Reminds me of red velvet, it like he can control the damn thing. I turn around to look at it. It was only barking, it didn't attack me. It acted like it was tamed already.

"shoo. go away." I didn't want dumb dogs barking at me. Then I hear a rusle and a voice from the voices. The voice was shouting something I couldn't understand, but It was clear whos voice was that. It was Red Velvets. He seemed far away enough, but I knew one thing for sure. It wasn't safe here.

I clutched my scythe harder and ran away again. I was running until I hit a tree and hurt myself pretty badly. It bled alot and it bled more when I took off my mask. grabbing my things, that was on the floor now, I walk away a bit further. It was no time to take a break, clearly people was looking for me.

"Dammit poison mushroom, why did i even tell you." I mumbled a bit, it's just so annoying. I used mask to stop the bleeding a bit and i'm glad I didn't break my nose. I went walking away for a bit, I hadn't planned out my escape much.

Maybe it was a sign to go home and take the risk of getting in trouble. Why was I even running away, my life wasn't that bad. I guess I'm just being spoiled. What if life outside was worse? What if I get killed doing this? What if- I should just shut up, I'm being like Mr shroomies and asking too many questions.

But there was a point to be made. I hadn't taken too much time to think about my plan after I ran away. I don't even know much about life outside of the darkness. All I know is that people hate dark enchantress for some reason and that people aren't too nice to me outside. But maybe that too harsh. Maybe people has changed. Maybe people are nicer. I seen people interact very friendly to each other, even when in battle.

I'm thinking too much and noon will come soon. That's the hottest part of the day and I would want to have to run so fast like i did before. At least the bleeding stopped, that's good at least. I stopped walking and looked around a bit, Iv'e been walking for hours.

I sat down in the shade to take a break, just for a while. I took out a notebook and started writing down what had happened.

It was going to be a long time until I reached somewhere safe.
