Eyes Of Lia (Slowly Editing/Updating)

The Cave

_._._._. Chapter Six _._._._.

Once I woke up I was embarrassed to find myself in a situation I never dreamed of. I was sleeping on Oliver. I quickly sat up and Oliver stretched.

"Oh! I am so sorry that I slept on you!" I jump up and step back words.

"Its fine, I walked over to give you a blanket and you.... well you know." He says and shrugs it off like it was nothing.

I take a deep breath and nod. I shrugged and had White Beauty take her bit. I lead her to a big rock and I jump on the rock and pull myself up on top of her back. She threw her head back and let out a shrill. I shushed her and she instantly became docile.

"Were are you going?" Oliver asks.

"Further into the woods." I say.

"I wouldn't go that way,"

"What way?"

"The way you are going, north."

"Why?"

"Nobody has ever came back from that part of the woods." Oliver says

I give him a confused look and roll my eyes. "What are you scared off? A wildcat? We can take 'em."

"Lia, have you ever thought that there was something more in the woods that weren't exactly animal like, unless you are saying animal like in a way that can mean their way of acting, then yes,"

"Oliver, you are making no sense," I whine.

Oliver sighs. "Lia, there might be more than just wildcats, wolves and other wild creatures that live here."

"Like a cannibal?" I ask sarcastically.

"Lia, listen. My mother parted my father in need to go to the side of the forest to retrieve something and we haven't seen her since, at least her living." Oliver tensed up. "My father found her dead, her vital organs taken from her body, she obviously was struggling, what ever did that to her was intentional, Somebody took the heart, lungs, and a few bones from her body. " Oliver was now shaking. He started to go delirious with theories, "Why would somebody do that, she was a wonderful person! WHY? Lia you tell me? Why would some creature out there take that from her, my family, my life?" He shakes his head.

I leap from White Beauty and ran to him. I didn't care about what could happen afterwords. Once I got close enough I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. "Oliver, I am sorry to hear about that." I closed my eyes. I felt Oliver tense at first then slowly he relaxed and hugged me tighter. We stood like that for many minutes, I was waiting for him to let go, whether he ever did, was up to him completely.

"What are you two doing on my land?" I horse and raspy voice yelled out. I jump and turn to see an old lady facing us. Her beady eyes staring us down, the eyes were an orange red, her long witch looking nose looked huge and seemed to cover half of her face. Her thin lips were cracked and scarred over. I couldn't help but shiver and step backwards. This put a smile on the witches face. "Do I scare you little girl?"

I suddenly felt tense and I was ready to throw a punch or throw something at her. I did happen to have a rock nearby. I looked at the rock. "Oh, you wouldn't want to do that." Oliver whispers into my ear. I look at him confused. He took a step towards the witch.

"Hello, and I am sorry but this is actually kingdom, Glaridale's Land." He says with a large sweeping arm, gesturing towards the south.

The witched suddenly let out an animal like snarl. Her sharp needle like teach showing off, her saliva dripping from her cracked lips down her sunburned and scarred skin on her chin. She takes a large step towards us and pulls out a small dagger. "You are not coming to claim more land are you?" Her crackling voice turned savage and animal like.
