The boy in the woods // Raura >>discontinued

Chapter 1

Smiling, I walk downstairs to be greeted by the smell of bacon. Today was great, it was prom and I just couldn't wait to finally experience that 'night to remember '. Prom was something I've always thought about ever since I was a young girl. I remember the night my brother, Miles, went on his prom. He seemed so happy, all he talked about was prom and how he couldn't wait to finally experience it. It made me even more desperate to grow up after hearing that. But now it's finally here and I can't wait for the day to begin.

"So you excited Laura?" Miles stuffs his mouth with bacon, spitting some of his food out while he speaks

"Ew, don't speak while you eat and yeah I'm so e-

I get cut off as mum runs down the stairs followed by dad, both of them with worried looks plastered on both their faces. What mum says next shocks me.

"Kids, quick go pack some clothes, we need to get out of here!"

I stand still. All sorts of questions occupy my thoughts. Why do we have to go? What happened? Why does it have to be on prom night?Am I going to die? I'm cut off my train of thoughts as dad ushers me up the stairs, shouting at me to hurry up. I run up and grab a backpack shoving in clothes while I try to process what was happening. I run down with Miles behind and see mum waiting anxiously with a small suitcase beside her. As soon as she sees us both she orders us to go out to the car and follows behind us. We jump in and dad peels out of the driveway onto the road.
-----------------------
I wake up to see a bright light shining right in my face. I get up and take in my surroundings. Pale blue walls, wood flooring and two huge windows looking out onto a landscape of giant trees. There was also a bed, a small white table, random picture hung up on the walls and a medium sized TV in the corner. A delicious smell floats around the room so I decide to find the source of this mouth-watering scent. It leads me to a white door, I open it and my eyes are met with a large kitchen and a dining table which was occupied by Miles and dad. I look towards the stove to see mum frying something.

"Uh good morning"

They all turn towards me.

"Oh, hey sweetie, why don't you sit down? I'm making you're favourite, French toast."

"Okay, thanks mum." I say while taking a seat beside Miles.

"Good morning." they both chorus together.

I reply back. I observe all three of them. Why is everyone acting so normal? Dad was reading a magazine with a cup of coffee beside him while Miles was stuffing his mouth with French toast. Disgusting. I decide to speak up.

"What's happening?"

They all look at me. Twice today. I look towards Miles then up at mum and dad who seemed to be having a stare off. Dad clears his throat and looks back at me. His eyes were hard to read but I could see he was scared.

"Laura, unfortunately something's happened, something bad so we have to keep on the low down for some time but don't worry, you're mum and I are sorting it out." He says as if there was really nothing to worry about.

They then go back to what they were doing. What? That's it? They're not getting away with just that. I think I deserve to know what that something is.

"No"

"No what, honey?"

"No, I'm not going to not worry when I have every reason to worry! How can you tell me to not worry when you've told me to pack my bags and that we need to get out with no explanation at all. You've both made me leave my friends, my school, my everything to live here by some forest and you say there's nothing to worry about! At least give me an explanation!?"

"Look, Laura we can't tell you right now but we will when we're ready."

"Unbelievable. I can't believe you can't tell me something that I deserve to know about!" I run out the room. I don't know where I'm going but I head towards the forest.
--------------------------
It's been and hour and I've just been walking around. I think I'm lost but oh well, does it really matter as I've already lost everything. I keep on walking ahead not knowing where I'm going but I'd do anything to get as far away as I can from that house and the people that I thought trusted me. I can't believe Miles didn't even stick up for me. He's probably with them as well. I feel my eyes start to water.Why am I crying? Please stop crying. Tears start falling out my eyes as if my were the sky and the tears were rain.

"Hey, why are you crying?" a deep voice laced with worry and curiousness asks.

I look up and see...
