The Girl Of The Forest

Chapter 1- waking up

I woke up in the dark on the cold hard ground. I was looking around to try and see anything when I realized I was in a cave and it was night time. All I could remember was that I was excited for my 16th birthday in exactly 10 days. I also remembered that it was the middle of December right now.
I was trying to figure out how I got inside a cave, more importantly why I was here and who I was. I then got a huge headache, it felt as If I had just got stabbed, I clutched the side of my head as I fell to the ground in pain. After about ten minutes I then sat up against the side of the cave and said, "I wish I could remember..." I decided to wait out the rest of the night and explore in the morning. I ended up falling asleep as I waited for the Sun to come up. I dreamed of a full moon and wolves running through the forest along side me. They all stopped on the peak of a cliff and howled at the moon. I suddenly jerked awake and looked outside the cave to see the sunlight shining in. I tried to get up but got light headed and fell back down. I clutched my head in pain as I sat up again feeling something warm and sticky. As I took my hand away from my head, I could smell the blood before I saw it. I realized I had to take care if the wound before it got infected. I started crawling out of the cave. I stopped at the entrance and looked out, what I saw was breath taking. There were aspens everywhere along side pine trees and willows, there was a large meadow with tall grass and a river flowing into a pond down the hill from the cave. I stayed and gawked at the sight for a few more minutes. Finally I started crawling down the hillside towards the pond, when I got there I looked at my reflection, I saw half my face was covered in blood and that I was wearing a bloody school uniform. I put my hands in the cool water and started washing my Brown hair. I cleaned my wound that turned out to be not that bad and stared at My reflection. I noticed that I had long blonde hair, blue eyes, tanish white skin, and a bloody green and white uniform. I observed a little longer and sat up looking around the pond thinking of how I was so warm when there was so much snow on the ground and the trees had no leaves. I thought about my dream and wondered if I just liked wolves or something. I had remembered that I was wearing a school uniform and thought that maybe they would soon realize I was gone and search for me. I had hope that they would find me. I then remembered seeing my friends shiver while I would say to them that they needed better jackets. I couldn't remember their faces at all. (Oh and if you haven't guessed yet I'm a girl). I saw the Sun starting to go down and finally started to feel cold. I thought about making a fire and disreguarded the thought immediately because out of all of my lost memories I remembered I hate fire and so does my family (Well technically we are really scared of it). I crawled back into the cave and said to myself, "My birthday is in 9 days... Why am I so scared of turning 16?" I got back to the cave when the Sun had gone half way down behind the mountain in the distance. I found out my sight was extrodinary and I could see in the dark. My smell was astounding, I could smell everything from the dried blood to the wet stone by the river. My hearing was amazing, I could hear every little sound around me. I felt like some sort of super human. I wanted to look around the cave and see how far back it went, so I started crawling further and further back. It felt like it would go on forever but I knew it had to end sometime because the roof of the cave was getting lower the further back I went. I kept going until I felt like I couldn't go anymore. I layed down and exahtion took over. I started dreaming of a wolf with reddish blonde fur and blue green eyes. She was running, running so fast trying to get away from something. She got to the edge of a cliff and was trapped where she stood. A big black shadow got closer to her and was about to pounce.... 'BAM' I woke up startled and the loud noise echoed through the cave. My heart started pounding and I got scared. I stopped and listened for a second and heard the wind howling outside. I started to calm down assuming the wind had knocked something over. I decided to start crawling again going towards the back of the cave while thinking of the dream I had. It was weird because I couldn't stop thinking about it. I stopped ad n my tracks and thought about the dream... No it couldn't be. There was a human baby holding onto the she-wolf's back. I can't believe I missed that! Especially in my own dream. I thought about my family but couldn't remember anything. I got so frustraited I screamed, "WHY CANT I REMEMBER?" and fell to the ground crying. I got a huge headache and grabbed my head in pain. I knew right then I had to get home. I became so desperate I tried standing up. Bad idea, I hit my head on the cave ceiling and fell to he ground passed out thinking that I desperately needed to get back.
