The Void Of Life ( The prophecy )

Chapter 5 The deep forest

I walk around the forest trying to find a path or a way out of some sort. I keep walking as I see a weird mysterious light coming from the other side of the forest. I walk closer and closer not looking what I'm stepping on as I hear a crunching sound coming from the sticks underneath my feet. I step down, putting all my weight on my right foot lifting up my other but it's too late to turn back… I fell into a hole that was covered by leaves. Falling, falling, falling, I turn some so I will land on my feet instead of my head. Plop, I land on some soft pillows and blankets. Someone must be digging this out as a home or base of some sort. I look around to see…

The Hooded Lady… She looks at me with a gleam of anger in her eyes. “So you found my base and come to steal the box, haven't you?'' She looks at me with anger. “Well there no point… i don't have it anymore.” look of despair now upon her face. “What do you mean by you don't have it?!” I say sternly “The cat stole it and said i haft to finish my end of the deal” the girl explains to me “What deal!? And why am I a part of this!” i say angrily.“The prophecy” she mumbles under her breath, looking at my bag. “What do you have in there?'', looking at my bag about to put her hand in. “Just a journal and a ripped out page of a book.” I show her pulling out the page of the book unfolding it. She looks at me dead in the eyes. “The… prophecy, how did you get this?” she stutters. “Just like I said I ripped it out of a book in the library,” I told her, getting concerned. “Just the library!? The library just had it!?” Eclipse screamed at me. I flinch and back away a little. Sure she is just a “Poor little soul”, I thought, gritting my teeth together. Eclipse sighed. “I have been looking for that book for two years… Two years! And you come here with it. I'm actually surprised.” What was that supposed to mean!? “Are you calling me dumb!?” I asked her with raging eyes. Eclipse rolled her eyes. “I'm at least smarter than that creepy girl…” I mumbled. “What creepy girl?” A voice asked behind me.

I went cold, Slowly I turned around to see the same small girl I meant in the forest. “Ack! How the hell did you get here!?” I screamed pointing my skinny finger at her. “I'm Eclipse's friend so I know where she lives,” She said, still having a huge smile on her chubby pale face. Eclipse grumbled, “I wouldn’t really say friends but sure…” My eyebrow raised. “I thought you didn't know?” I grumbled as I rested my hands on my slim hips. The small lady laughed, “It was a joke!" She yelled out. "She has a name too,” Eclipse put in with a whisper.

“Oh yeah, my name is Mikro!” Mikro chipped in. “It means small in greek,” Eclipse whispered to me. That makes sense, I thought with a shrug. I just blinked at Mikro for a few seconds before glancing at Eclipse. “So what is this world?” I asked. Eclipse looked up from carving her new knife, But Mikro was already jumping up and down wanting to tell me. “Go ahead Mikro,” Eclipse said with a sigh. “Ok so! This world you are in is called the supernatural world! It holds many creatures like me!” Mikro yelled, pointing a finger at herself. “What creature are you?” I asked in a shaky voice. “I'm a witch! See, look!” Mikro reached into her pocket and grabbed out a book. It had a huge skull on it. “And what are you?” I asked, glancing at Eclipse. “I'm human but Mikro has taught me some witchcraft so I don't get killed,” She had said in a low voice looking away from her new knife. I stared at her. Mikro looked down and bolted up again. “I know what to do!” She chipped in. “Now what is it?” Eclipse glared. “We can show-...” But she stopped her sentence. “What is your name?” She asked. “Oh yeah, it's Ares,” I whispered, rubbing my hand up and down my other arm. “We can show Ares around town!” Mikro finished her sentence. “The town?” I asked.
