Lost In The Woods

Creatures?!

     "I can cross the river. Dwarfs are not real neither the other fairy tale creatures." Tiara thought as she went inside the medium-size log .

     Inside the log were little insects that was feared by Tiara . She nearly fainted when she saw them. When she went out of the log, she wondered why everything looked the same: the mushroom, the big old oak tree with a hole and the vines that ere hanging on it. Tiara's eyes lifted as she stood stock-still in surprise. 

    Tiara did not want to go inside again but she had no choice so she decided to go inside again. 

    Then went out from the log but everything was still the same. Tiara frowned as she wondered who was playing a trick to her.

    Tiara wondered and wondered until she heard something. She turned around and saw nothing.  She thought that three little babies were chuckling and hiding from her. She crept where the sound was coming from and saw three little trolls with different colored costumes. Tiara rubbed her eyes  to make sure that she was not dreaming, However, it was not a dream. 

    She listened to her own blood rushing through her veins and was annoyed. She raised her voice and started yelling to the naughty dwarfs, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY! GREAT! NOW, I HAVE TO GO INSIDE THAT LOG WITH DISGUSTING INSECTS AGAIN! UGH!" 

    She then carried one dwarf and put the poor dwarf inside the hole of the big old oak tree in a hole. She quickly went inside the huge log and went out with relieved as she finally cross the river.

    "Stepmother was right! There are three dwarfs like what she said. What was the second one. I can't remember." Tiara thought as she continued to walk nowhere.

While Tiara was finding where the eagle was she heard a rustling sounds of leaves behind her. She turned around slowly and saw no one. She continued her walk and there...she heard it again. She turned around quickly this time and saw a boy. Those big and blue eyes like the ocean and that blonde hair. He's gorgeous. 

Tiara's cheeks became hot and she's blushing. They both stood still. Her heart pounding not knowing what to do...

" Hi. I didn't mean to follow you but I heard you yelled at those old  and-" 

" Who are you and what are you doing here? Why are you following me" Tiara asked.

    They continued their conversations what just happened before they met. In between their conversation, they heard a deep, loud and old sound repeating in a distance.

    "Toocko, toocko, toocko"

    Tiara stood rooted to the ground as she was frightened. Tiara asked Navin what was it but Navin does not know. Out of curiosity, she decided to walked to where the sound was coming from. Finally, they saw what was it.

    "Good Morning Mister Gecko." Tiara greeted calmly.

   "Hello, young lady and young boy, can you please help untangle me?" replied the gecko.

    Tiara thought that there is no need to help the gecko as she can cross the river by herself . To her great surprised, she saw that the river was so wide. So, she thought that it was best to help because the gecko might help them cross the river.

    "But how? I don't know any way to rescue you." Tiara told the gecko.

    "Neither do I." Navin added.

    "There are three vines in front of you with three different colors which are the three primary colors. Look at me, what color am I. Pull the vine whichever color I am the same with the right vine." instructed the gecko.

    Tiara look at the gecko and he was color blue. So, she pulled the blue vine. She look again to the gecko and the next color is red, she then pulled the red vine. And she continued until the tree shook and the gecko fell above from the tree.

    "You save my life. I was trapped by the giant that was bigger than the mountains. The giant tied me up on the three since I was a naughty child. Thanks to you, I am here on the green grass. For your information, the giant is no longer alive. How could I ever repay you?" the gecko explained and thanked them profusely.

    "To cross the river." Navin and Tiara replied together.They looked each other and started blushing.

    The gecko opened his mouth. And used his tongue to lift Tiara and Navin across the river.

    "Thank you! Mister Gecko!" Tiara thanked the gecko joyfully as they finally cross the river.

    Tiara and Navin continued walking straight. They thought plans how to secretly pass all the other creatures. In a distance they saw a wall of bushes. They ran to it and it was so tall. They climbed up without hesitations. 

    After climbing, they turned behind them. They saw a giant bigger than the trees. The giant's body was covered with brown hair and has big red eyes. The giant was holding firmly on a fishing hook waiting for a fish to splash. Tiara's eyes popped wide in surprise upon seeing the giant. She looked up and saw a flat land. Tiara was frightened of the giant and told Navin to get out of here.

    "Navin, we must get out of here." Tiara hissed softly.

    "We can't, look there's a flat land up there to the mountain. Don't worry, I know giants. They ignore things when they are finding for food. Trust me." Navin explained to her half seriously.

    Tiara summoned all her courage and marched to the giant.

    She talked to the giant as loud as she can, "Um... Hello?!" ,The giant heard her but ignored her and continued waiting for a fish to be caught.

    "See, I told you." Navin showed off.

    Tiara thought a way how to get up there quickly. She looked for something that the fish eats and beside her was a bush full with perfect berries. She took a few berries and threw them clumsily into the water. She waited for a few seconds and something huge splash on the water. 

    "Navin, as soon as the giant lift up the fishing hook we must jump on the fish. When we are at the level of that flat land. We must jump to the flat land, Okay?" Tiara explained  boldly as the giant as the giant started lifting the hook. 

    They jumped on the onto the huge fish. The fish was so slimy and slippery. Tiara was about to fall but it's a good thing that Navin was there and hold her hand before she fell. The fishing hook was on the level of the flat land and they jumped onto it.

    From there, they saw a mushroom village with little mushroom houses. The lights were switch on in every single house but in every single house, nobody is inside. 

    By then, they left the mushroom village as it was not important. At their right-hand side, they saw an rusty metaled bridge all the way to the half of the mountain level.

    They were brave enough so they crossed the bridge without pausing. As they crossed the bridge , it was shaking but they were not scared after all so they continued to crossed. Alas! They made it to the mountain but not above the mountain where the eagle put Tiara's beloved doll up there.....
