Indigo And Ezra: Lost In The Woods (Book 1)

Ch 3: "Undergound Of Lights"

Indigo's Eyes Opened As A Fainting Bright Light Flew Pass Her. She Looked To See A Leaf Falling From The Celling, "Ash Where Are We Are Now?" Aspen Finally Stopped And Drop Them On The Soft Ground While Ezra Woke Up. "We're At A Place Where I Call It Home.." The Two Looked Over Across The Hole A Group Of Blue Lights With Wings Flew Around Them, "What Is This?" Aspen Looked At The Entrance As The Light Brighten A House For Them To See. "We May As Well Follow Them, Are You Okay Ezra?"Ezra Awoke And Saw The Lights With Confused As They Followed Them He Rubbed His Eyes And Stood Up On His Own. "What Are Those Things?" He Asked. Aspen Smiled While Touching The Lights With A Smoothing Touch, "There Are We Like To Call "Luminus" They're Been Around For A While They Guide Us Since I've Came Out From My Shell Here I'll Show You." They Took Indigo And Ezra's Hands. Leading To An Bedroom Where The Pillows Were Made Of Leaves While The Bedsheet Was Strained Witb Mud. Indigo Covered Her Mouth From The Spell While Ezra Nearly Puked. Aspen Held Their Hand On Ezra's Back, "I Know It's Not The Fancy Room But It's Home So Why Don't You Two Make Yourselves To Rest, We Have Been Walking For A Long Time So Let's Relax Our Legs." Ezra Wiped The Dust Off Making The Bed Comfortable For Indigo, They Sat On The Sheet Trying Not To Get Dirty By The Mud. Aspen Came Back With Blueberries With A Smile. Ezra Looked At Them And Smelled Them For A Minute, "Um Aspen Where Did You Get Those And How Long Did You Have Them?" Aspen Blinked And Smiled. "Oh It's Simple I Get Them From One Of The Trees, Forrest Said That They Are Tasty With Pies And Other Kinds Of Food!" Ezra's Eyes Narrowed As Indigo Grew Curious. They Looked At Aspen Moving Closer To Him, "Who Is Forrest? Is He Your Dad?" Indigo Asked Making Aspen's Shoulders Drop. "No It's Not Like That, He Was Like A Grandpa To Me, Anyway What About Your Parents?" Indigo And Ezra Looked At Each Other With A Sad Expression , "Our Parents Are Not Around Anymore, At Least Not One Parent, Our Mom Has Been Sick And Has Been To Hospital Six Times Sometimes We Went There With Her And Dad Left Us Even Though He Did Said That He Would Visit Us But Than Something Strange Happened We Don't Remember How.." Ezra's Eyes Were Watery But He Wiped Them And Spoke. "We Stayed In London For A Year But Right Now That's Not Important, Where Is This "Forrest" Now? Is He Dead?" Aspen Felt A Bit Of Offended But Kept Their Anger Under A Smile, "No He's Not Dead, He's Just In The Tree I Don't Know Which Tree But I Can Feel His Presence, He's Doing His Best To Protect Us Especially From The "Evil" Beings." Ezra Titled His Head And Indigo Continued To Look At Them. "What Evil Beings Monsters Or?" Aspen Looked Up With An Angry Expression With A Smile As Their Eyes Widen As They Turned Green. "Monsters Who Have Machines And Money To Destroy Anything That They See." Indigo And Ezra Silent In Fear And Surprise, Aspen Hid One Of Their Eyes With Their Left Hand Feeling Ashamed. "Sorry For That Let's Move On With Stuff Like Taking A Stroll Outside If He Isn't Around." Ezra Looked At Indigo With Worry And Fear On His Face, "We Need To Be Careful With Them, In Case They Do Something Else." Indigo Put Her Hand On Ezra's Shoulder While She Tried To Not To Shake. "Hey It's Okay Ezra I'm Sure They Wouldn't Hurt Anyone Let's Just Follow What They Said Okay?" Ezra Nodded Silently And Feeling Unsure Of Indigo's Words. They Walked Through Another Hole That Aspen Created By Touching The Dirt, They Saw A Light Shining In The Distance As They Drew Closer To The Outside. Aspen Pulled Them Up To Breathe In The Air Where The Sun Was In The Clear Sky While The Rivers Were Moving Non Stop. Aspen Grabbed Indigo Gently As They Looked Around. "No Sign Of Him Here Thank Forest, Now Let Me Show This Wonderful Place." Aspen Leaded Them Through The Woods, Introducing The Animals To Them While Ezra Kept An Eye On Them And Indigo Who Was Too Amazed By The Flowers To Notice. They Walked For A While Before Aspen Stopped, "Look See There's My Favourite Place, This Tree Is Special Let's Go Down Here." They Pointed At A Door Made Of Wood Which Made Ezra Turned To Them Suspiciously. "How Does It Work Aspen Is There Anything Inside?" Aspen Chuckled Nervously As Their Eyes Dotted Left To Right At The Door And The Two. "Um There Is Nothing Terrible How About You See It For Yourself Do We Have A Deal?" They Reached For A Hand Making Ezra Reluctantly Grabbed It After Looking At Indigo's Pleading Look. Aspen Unlocked The Door And Guided Them Until They Felt The Ground Sink, Ezra Grabbed And Hold Indigo As They Went Down. "It's Okay It's Only A Few Inches Down, Don't Worry I'll Call Them Since It's Too Dark In Here." Aspen Snapped Their Fingers And The Luminus Came Out Of Thin Air Brighting Up The Walls Drawing Illustrations. They Landed On Grass Where Water Flowed Surrounded By Branches And Leafs. Indigo And Ezra Looked Around With Wonder, Aspen Grew A Few Flowers With Daisies On The Grass With Their Hand. Aspen Sat On A Wooden Chair As They Spoke, "So What Do You Think Of The Place? It's Where I Relax And Have Fun, Those Guys Usually Hang With Me Sometimes." They Pointed At The Luminus That Flew Through The Water. Their Glowing Feet Created Small Waves, Indigo Walked To Look At The Reflection That The Luminus Made While Ezra Looked At Aspen With A Puzzled Look. "Did You Create This Place Aspen?" Ezra Asked While Looking Around The Wood Walls Aspen Smiled And Giggled. "Well I Didn't Make This Place, Forest Made It I Don't Know How And Why But He Did Made Some Trees Like This One, Anyway Enough About That, Let Me Show You Guys Something." Aspen Waved Their Hand And A Stone Bridge Rose From The Water, Indigo And Ezra's Jaws Were Dropped And They Saw Apsen Holding Out For A Hand. "Do You Want To Do It's Okay If You Don't This Is Pretty Huge." Ezra Glanced At Indigo As She Gave Him A Reassuring Look. The Three Walked On The Bridge As It Slowly Moved Away And A Hole Formed Leaving It Wide For Them To Cross. Ezra Grabbed Indigo By The Arm Tightly While Indigo Stroke His Hair, Aspen Grabbed The Two Gently. "Hold On Together Guys It's Gonna To Be A Long Road." The Three Walked To The Deepest And The Huge Door Slowly Closed Behind Them..
