Sleeping beauty was woken up by a soft kiss... the boy in the woods woke up because of yelling. There were men on horses near him. They seemed to be fast and angry. Where was he? What happened? He's so disoriented and just wants to go home but he's lost. Lost in his mind and in the woods. The men come nearer and he's scared. The boy gets up carefully so he doesn't fall again but walking or even running seems impossible at the moment instead he just jumps in a bush that was right next to him scared because of the unknown men that might hurt him as soon as they catch a glance of the small kid. Hopefully the'll just leave but oh boy was that hope crashed when the knights (he figured) stopped at the exact same spot where he was hiding. He held his breath hoping he wouldn't be revealed to the men.
Then the worst thing that could happen in that moment became real. In the bush he tried to hide was a big dangerous snake who just waited for him to sit still so it could get its nice fresh meal for a few months. Oh yes he had to choose between a definite danger and a possible danger. So what did he choose? Exactly he started running into the distance, the knights now very aware of the young boy's existence. Of course, they rode after him on their horses and soon caught up to him, since four horses are obviously faster than a weak, hungry and exhausted little kid.
His heart was pumping so hard he thought it would come up his throat and jump right out of his mouth.
One of the knights now got down from his horse and slowly walked up to the scared boy. To not scare him much more the man made him as small as possible.
"Hey litlle guy, who are you? Where are your parents? Are you hurt?"
The boy tried to run away but instead he bumped into the horse that stood right behind him. Now he got up. He tried to stay strong and confident but man was that hard.
"You don't have to be scared, sweetie", the knight said "We wanna help and protect you... so... what is your name, sweetheart?"
"I'm..", the boy let out as a quiet whisper, then he built himself up more confidently and finally answered the man's question:
"I'm Cole"
