•°wrong turn°•

chapter 4

Last chapter ending:

"Turn right."

"Again? Just keep going," I whispered to myself. "You're going to be okay."

But just then, my heart sank as I caught sight of headlights approaching from behind... a car was following me down this narrow path!

•°•°•°•°•°•

Panic surged through me as I spotted the headlights closing in behind me. I couldn't let them catch up; I had to lose them! I slammed my foot on the accelerator, the engine roaring in response as I sped down the alley.

"Come on, come on!" I urged the car, my grip tightening on the steering wheel. I glanced in the rearview mirror just enough to see that the car was still tailing me. Its headlights like a predator stalking its prey.

I spotted an opening to my right, a narrow side street that looked like it might lead to safety. Without hesitating, I yanked the wheel and veered onto it, tires squealing in protest.

The turn was sharp, and for a moment, I felt my stomach drop as the car swayed. But I regained control and pressed on, weaving through the dimly lit streets. My heart raced not just from fear but from adrenaline; this was my chance.

The GPS continued to recalculate in a frantic voice, urging me to take turns that felt increasingly risky. "In 200 feet, turn left!" it instructed.

I nodded to myself, trusting it even as my instincts screamed that I was driving deeper into unfamiliar territory. The sounds of the pursuing car faded slightly as I made the left turn and accelerated again.

Each corner I took felt like a gamble, but with each turn, I felt more alive, more determined not to be caught again. My mind raced with thoughts of what I'd done and why I had to escape.

Then, out of nowhere, I saw a sign for a forest road. Desperation kicked in. It was my only option. Without thinking twice, I swerved onto it and plunged into the trees. The path narrowed and became bumpy as branches clawed at my car.

The headlights behind me dimmed as they hesitated at the entrance of the forest. 'I'm safe!" I thought for a fleeting moment. But then reality hit this wasn't over yet.

As darkness enveloped me, the trees loomed tall and foreboding around my car. The sounds of nature replaced the chaos of the city as I drove deeper into the woods, unsure if this escape would lead me to safety or further into danger.

Suddenly, my heart sank as my engine sputtered ominously. No! Not now!

The engine sputtered one last time before falling silent, leaving me in an eerie stillness. My heart raced as I sat in the darkness, surrounded by towering trees. The weight of my situation crashed down on me out of gas, alone, and lost.

I took a deep breath, trying to push away the panic rising in my chest. "Think, think!" I whispered to myself. Staying in the car felt like waiting for danger to catch up with me. I had to move.

Gathering my my stuff, I stepped out into the cool night air, the forest enveloping me in shadows. The scent of damp earth and pine filled my senses as I closed the car door behind me. I glanced back at the vehicle, I couldn't leave it here forever.

With no clear path ahead, I decided to trust my instincts and start walking. The underbrush crunched beneath my feet as I ventured further into the woods, each step echoing in the quiet. I could barely see anything but the faint outline of trees around me.

Time slipped away as I moved deeper into the forest. The darkness felt alive, every rustle sending a jolt of unease through me. My thoughts raced. What if they found me out here? What if I never found a way out?

'They won't y/n just shut up'

I kept walking, hoping to find some sign of civilization or at least a clearer path. The moonlight filtered through the branches above, casting strange shadows that danced along the ground.

After what felt like hours, I stumbled upon a small clearing. Relief washed over me for a moment until I realized how isolated it was. There were no signs of life, no roads, no lights, nothing but... trees

I took a moment to catch my breath and gather my thoughts. "Okay, y/n," I muttered to myself, "you can do this." Just then, a distant sound echoed through the trees, a low rumble that sent chills down my spine.

My heart raced again as I turned back toward where I'd come from. But then another sound reached my ears: footsteps crunching on leaves.

I froze, every instinct screaming at me to hide. Was it them? Or was it just an animal? My mind raced with possibilities as I took a cautious step back into the shadows of the trees.

The sound grew louder, each crunch of leaves sending a jolt of fear through me. My heart pounded in my chest as I crouched behind a tree, peering into the dim light of the clearing. Was it a bear? My mind raced with terrifying possibilities, and I could almost hear the stories of hikers who never returned.

Just as I was ready to bolt in the opposite direction, a small shape emerged from the shadows. My breath caught in my throat as I squinted to see what it was. The figure was moving cautiously, seemingly unaware of my presence.

But then, as it stepped into the moonlight, I let out a nervous laugh. It wasn't a bear at all... it was just a cat! A scruffy little tabby with bright green eyes, looking just as startled to see me as I was to see it.

"Hey there, little buddy," I whispered, letting out a sigh of relief. The cat meowed softly and approached me, weaving between my legs as if to say, "You're not alone anymore."

I knelt down and extended my hand cautiously. The cat sniffed at my fingers before rubbing against them affectionately. "Guess we're both lost," I chuckled, feeling the tension ease from my shoulders.

As I looked into its bright eyes, an idea struck me. "You know what? You need a name." The cat tilted its head slightly as if considering my words. "How about... Loki?"

The name felt right, playful, and mischievous, just like this little creature who had suddenly appeared in my moment of panic. Loki meowed again, almost as if he approved of his new identity.

With Loki by my side, I felt a flicker of hope. He seemed curious and confident, leading the way as he trotted toward the edge of the clearing. Maybe he knew something I didn't.

I followed closely behind, careful not to scare him away. As we ventured deeper into the woods together, I couldn't help but feel that this unexpected friend might just guide me back to safety, or at least keep me company in this strange adventure.

Loki paused suddenly and looked back at me, his eyes glinting in the moonlight. It seemed he was waiting for me to catch up before moving on again. "Alright, lead the way!" I said with renewed determination.

With each step we took together through the darkened forest, I felt a little less alone. Who knew that I would end up lost in the middle of nowhere.. with a cat

As we walked on under the starlit sky, Loki trotted ahead confidently, glancing back at me as if urging me to keep up. He truly was my little guardian in this vast wilderness. And together, we would find our way home... right?
