2 days after that incident. I've been called to get my things. My co-workers message me and I've been drowned with fake sympathies. Some were true, but most of them are not. I know who is sincere and who is not. I mean, I don't have a lot of close co-workers, I can count them on one hand. I'm just glad that I resign, because my stress level can't handle it anymore. But now, what should i do now? I'm totally free and it's kinda boring. Should I get my things now so i can settle it already? Grabbing my pouch, I walk out of my home.
"Sigh
After this, I should think of my next step, so I can have a peaceful life ahead. I hailed a cab and told the driver the address of my former company.
***
Thankfully, I got out of there alive. There have been no chaos that ensued. Well, aside from Rovin. He is pestering me, saying that I can still work if I go out with him. Does he think that I want to be a mistress and a home wrecker? Jerk! He should be buried right now so he can stop talking nonsense. Anyways, I ignored him because he doesn't worth my breath. Since everything work out for me today, I plan to walk and treat myself to the mall. If I remember correctly, there's a nearby mall around here. Walking down the road, I am waiting for the signal to cross the street.
When suddenly, the rain poured heavily. Wow, just wow. I am so blessed that it is raining when I don't have my umbrella with me right now. Anyways, the pedestrian sign did it's job and told people that they can move already. That is why I step my foot on the pedestrian lane. But I shouldn't have done that because, when I did it, everything goes white. I felt a jolting, excruciating pain and feel like I've been hit in the back of my head before everything goes black.
When I opened my eyes, my head is throbbing really hard. And my eyes are hazy. Once I stable myself enough to stand, I was shock by what I saw. Instead of a crossing full of cars and buildings, my surroun- dings change. Now, I see giant trees and a thick forest. I can't even see the inside of the forest because it's pitch black, leaving no light."Hello? Someone? Is anyone here? Please help me!"
Why am I shouting for people when it's obvious that I'm alone.
"What the freaking way? Where am I?"
No way, no way, no way. I'm just about to cross the street, why am I here? I mean, where is here?! I'm crazy. Am I hallucinating? Wait, I've been struck by a lightning! Why am I still alive? I should be dead! I quickly check myself to see if all my limbs are intact. Thank goodness, I'm complete. Wait, I still have my pouch. And the box where I put my office things. If I'm dead, then I shouldn't have this things with me. So it means that I'm really alive!
*sigh~
There's a lot of evidences already that I'm alive and all but I just can't believe it. I check my phone inside the pouch to see if there's some signals. There's none. That means I can't call the police, or any of my friends. This is really freaking me out! Breathe in, breathe out~ Breathe in, Breathe out~. Okay self, it's time to calm yourself because it will not help the situation. First of all, let's check the things that I have and seperate the things that I can use, and the things that are not. I opened the box to see a shirt, a box of sanitary pad, a couple of biscuits, a pack of kisses, small flashlight, a pile of bondpaper, a correction tape, ballpens, scissor, 1 pair of socks, a mug, and lastly the book. Wow that's... a lot. And I think I can use all of it, aside from the book. I don't even know why it's there. Anyways, I continue my search to my pouch. There's the apartment key, a wallet that have my cards and a couple of money, my lipbalm, lipstick, eye liner, blush, and sunscreen. I just bought my sunscreen yesterday so it's full. I haven't grasp my situation yet so I don't really know what's useful or not, but since I'm in the forest; I'm sure I don't need my key, wallet, and makeup, aside from my lipbalm and sunscreen. Welp, that's that. Collecting the the things back to where they belong, I look at the forest. I'm not sure that I want to go there, when it's that dark. I have a flashlight, but I don't know what kind of animals live there. Turning my view to my back, all that I see is a mass of water. Having no choice, I grab my flashlight and walk to the dreadful forest. I can clearly hear the sound of my clumsy steps, the crunchy dried leaves, and the silence of the place. I look around at the gloomy surroundings, while flashing my light ahead of my steps. It's scary here because of the tall tress and darkness that surround it, so I quicken my footsteps in hope of getting out of here.
*crunch, crunch
*halt
Is it just me, or am I hearing a bone breaking? Why would I hear it when I'm not breaking any bones?
*growl~
I'm sure that I'm not hungry. So why do I hear something growling?! Looking behind my back, I saw something that I don't want to see in real life. It's a pack of wolf. Around 3 to 5 wolfs looking at me like a treasure. It's still quite a distance from hear but i already imagine my legs giving up! I didn't sign up for this, so why am I experiencing this? My imagination turning into reality, my legs did give out. Nice, I've been struck by a lightning, waking up in a different place, finding out that I'm alive even though I should have died, and dying again at the hands of a wolf pack. Just great! When will I get to take a break?!
"Help! Someone help me! I don't want to die again, please!"
Deluding myself that there's someone out there that can help me, I sob and shout really hard. I didn't think that I would cry, but this is my breaking point. Why am I here?! I want to go back home. Even if I am alone, and don't have a job; I plan to work my own business and play hard until I die! So why am I here facing these predators?!
"Wahhhhh~ Help! Please help!"
*growling~
They are slowly coming to me. There's one particular wolf that is much bigger than the others that is coming to me. Maybe that is the alpha. Wow, I really need that information, good job self. Sometimes, I just want to smack myself for stating the obvious and then commenting a sarcastic remarks after. The alpha continues to growl really loudly. And when he's about to pounce at me, a tiger showed and bit the wolf in the neck until it died. After seeing the death of their alpha, the rest of the packs runaway.
I said help, not torture myself more. Yes, I should be happy that the wolf's are gone, but then again, there's a tiger in front of me. And not just any tiger, I think it's 2 times, no 3 times the sizes of the normal tiger on earth. What the hell?! Having no chance to stop myself, I scream at the bottom of my heart that this is just a dream.
