Lost

Chapter 2 - Into the woods

The first thing I'm aware of is my aching head. I feel like it's going to explode. I feel like I could throw up a million times. My whole body hurts. Did I die?

If so I'm certainly not in heaven. I slowly try to open my eyes. I groan when it stings on my eyebrow. I try to focus on something but the whole world is spinning around. I close my eyes again. I can move my feet but when I try to support me on the arm I almost faint again. I throw up. It smells horrible and I have to move myself away from it.

I slowly open my eyes again and to my relief I'm not so wobbly anymore. I sit up with help of my left arm trying to keep the right one so still as possible. I take a deep breath.

I look amazed around me. It seems like I have been flushed up on a beach from the ocean. It's not warm here, the sand is icing cold. Straight forward I see the big ocean. The beach I'm on extends about fifty meters to both sides. Behind me is a big deep forest. It smells fresh here.

I shudder. My clothes are not wet anymore but they are cold. Isn't it summer here?

Then another thought hits me. I'm alone here. Everyone else probably died in the crash. I should be happy I'm alive but I'm not. I should have died too. But here I am, with a wounded arm and an exploding head. Great.

What should I do? Just wait til I die here instead or trying to seek shelter. The second option feels smarter. Atleast I don't have any desire to eat after throwing up. Carefully I try to get up on my feet. I feel how week I am. Wobbly I stand for a minute trying to recover from the wobblyness.

I take a deep breath and then start walking against the forest. I try to ignore my aching arm which surely is broken. Curiously I take a step into the forest. I hear birds chirp but otherwise it's quite quiet. The moss feels soft against my feet. I realise i only have socks left. My shoes must have fallen off.

I don't know where I am supposed to go. I just keep walking straight forward into the forest. Soon I can't see anything of the beach anymore. It feels like I'm walking for hours. When my feet also starts to hurt I stop. I come out to a small glade. In the middle of it is a fallen tree. I walk to it and sit down. What do I do now?

A sudden crack in the forest almost stops my heart. What was that?
- Anyone there? I shout. I immediately regret it. What if it's someone bad. But it's probably just an animal though, beacause I don't get any answer. I hear another crack again. But this time it was behind me.

I slowly turn around and gasp when I realise. About twenty meters away from me stands a big wolf. He exposes his sharp teeths and growls. I fall of the stock in fear. I forgot my broken arm and an unbearable pain gush through me. I let out a small cry in pain. I see the wolf coming closer. Drooling runs out of his mouth.

Suddenly an arrow comes flying in the air. It hits the wolf in the leg and he gnaws. He looks just as surprised as me. Suddenly I feel compassion for him. Until he ignores the arrow and comes closer to me. He is now just a few meters from me. Another arrow comes flying and this time it hits him in his shoulder. With a last look at me he decides to turn around and escape away.

Shaking I'm still left on the ground. I feel like fainting.

Another crack made me look up. I gasp again. A man is standing at the outskirt of the glade. I stare at him in shock. He stares back at me with his blue eyes. He has a messy brown hair. A tattoo curls up over his left shoulder. He holds a bow in his hands. On his back I see an archery bag full with arrows. Who is this man?

We just stare at each other for a moment. I can't deny it, he is kinda handsome. Even though it looks like he lives in the forest based on his dirty clothes.

He suddenly decides to turn around and walk away.
- Wait! I shout after him.
He ignores me and keeps walking. I try to run after him but my body failes me. I fall to the ground and let out a pained scream. That makes him turn around.

After a few seconds I feel a strong hand pulling me up to my feet. I meet his eyes again. He suddenly lifts his hand and before I say anything it hits my head and I faint.
