Lost

~Prologue~ READ FIRST, I MESSED UP!!!!!!

The forest was dense, its ancient trees standing tall and imposing. Beams of sunlight filtered through the thick canopy, casting shadows on the forest floor. Birds chirped, leaves rustled, and the air smelled of damp earth and pine.

Seven teenagers stumbled through the underbrush, their faces etched with confusion and dirt. They had no memory of how they got here, no recollection of their past, only bits and pieces. Running though grassy fields, jumping over stones, water lapping on the beach, a bustling city scape. Their clothes weren't torn but covered in filth, and their shoes caked with the dust from the dirty ground. The only thing they knew was that they were lost.

Among them were two girls: Mia , with long, thick, dark hair tied back into a ponytail with a fear filled but also determined look. Then there was London, who had short blonde hair and wore a white button up with maroon, corduroy pants. The boys were a mix of personalities: Reid, the most athletic of them all, bared a menacing look until he smiled. Most feared but, the most kind. Micah, the smart one, was the best way to put him. If anyone were to get them out, it would be him; Joon, the artist. There was not much to him. Shy and quiet around people he didn't know. Also, kind, and soft. Peaceful and comforting was the best words to describe him; Yohan, the bookworm who muttered about parallel dimensions, he was the most mental, but also sane. He was valuable, he could think outside of the box in a way not even Micah could; and finally, Lou, the one who tried to lighten the mood to mask his own fear. The one who would keep everyone's spirits up.

They stumbled upon a clearing, the grass soft under their feet. In the center stood a brooding oak tree, its bark covered in strange symbols and words that non of them understood. The air around it felt cold though the beast of a tree was warm to the touch with an otherworldly energy. The teenagers exchanged bewildered glances, their voices echoing in the stillness.

"Where are we?" Mia whispered, her voice barely audible.

London shook her head. "I don't know. But something feels off."

They were trapped, but they didn't know by whom or why. All they had were each other, their confusion, and the useless hope of escape.

The forest held its secrets close, and they were about to discover just how treacherous their journey would be.
