The lonely Creature

Chapter 6: She has Returned

Shantel turned to the mysterious voice that sounded very ancient in a way but sounded so familiar. "That voice sounds so familiar, why is that, I've never heard of this voice before but I feel like I have," thought Shantel as she kept walking towards the voice. Every time she took a step, the voice was starting to get clearer and clearer. "I'll ask again, who are you?" Shantel called out to the voice that was coming from the light. The bright white light slowly but surely was shaping into a person from the straight features it looked like a tall man wearing elegant white clothing with gold rims around it, making it shine to make a light. "Come, take my hand and I'll show you," he replied with his hand outstretched towards her.

Shantel didn't take his hand, she just followed him from a far distance. "Why are you so far away, I won't bite," replied the strange man with a kind smile on his face.

"I, I just don't know you and you still haven't told me your name so why should I come closer to you?"

"I guess it can't be helped."

He started to walk faster into the park, Shantel was falling behind. "I feel like I need to follow him, I feel like he knows something that I don't, I want to find out what," thought Shantel as she lightly jogged over to the man. He's quite tall but looks a bit slim, his pale skin was almost as white as his clothing that he wears, his platinum  blonde hair shined gracefully as the sun started to set. "Where are we going?" Shantel questioned as she tried to catch up to him. "We're going home," he answered as he grabbed her hand and started pulling her almost dragging her across the ground. "Hey!" Shantel said loudly as she tried to pull off her hand off of his grip. "What do you mean by home?"

"Please let go," replied Shantel as she pulled him back to face her. He sighed and began to pick her up in a princess hold. "Woah, ok I didn't mean by this," answered Shantel, her face was becoming more red by the minute. "Just be quiet for a minute," he replied with his face almost inches from hers.

"If his face comes any closer, we might..... no don't think that!" thought Shantel as her face starting becoming even more red.

Still holding her, he started running with ease showing no trouble holding her in that grip. Up ahead was some sort of old door with strange markings all over the broken and aged wood. The man stopped suddenly nearly letting go of Shantel. He placed her gracefully down on her feet and started to walk towards the mysterious door standing in the middle of nowhere. Everything was clearly dark and night had fallen, the stars were shining brightly and there were much clearer to see than Shantel had ever seen them. "Wow, I've never seen so many stars in the night sky before," said Shantel as she started walking towards the elegant man that was near the door. "Um, where are we?"

"We are almost there, just through this door and we're free from this world."

"What do you mean by that? Free from this world?"

"Marcolos."

"Huh?"

"My name is Marcolos and I'm so glad that you are coming home with me," he replied as he opened the door with a gentle smile on his face.

"Marcolos, that name seems so familiar in a way that I don't understand," whispered Shantel as she walked towards the light coming from the door.

"Welcome back, Shantella, you have returned home," replied Marcolos as he walked behind her and closed the door behind them.
