I quickly spun around and stepped back creating some space between us , then I heard a crack under my foot, I stared in front of me in complete and utter shock , standing there was a young man, toned and tall , his hair dark brown and short , he wore a tightly fitted black t-shirt and jeans, His eyes a midnight blue colour.
" I....I'm sorry....." I stuttered watching him.
" I think you have stepped on your phone." He said looking down at my foot , I glanced down at my feet and sure enough there was my phone with a beautiful cracked screen , I cursed under my breath as I knelt down , picking it up then placing it carefully in my pocket then I looked up at the young man.
" I ....erm..... better get going." I said then I turned around to walk away and cursed again .... I was still lost in a forest but to make matters worse I was now lost in a forest with a hot young man.
" Everything okay ?" I heard him say behind me.
" Yeah , fine ." I lied looking around.
" Listen.....You seem a bit lost and I happen to know this forest like the back of my hand , maybe I could point you in the right direction." He said
" I'm fine ...." I mumbled " I don't need help from a stranger !"
Suddenly he was in front of me , blocking my view of the forest , I glanced up at him frowning.
" I'm Damien." He said holding out his hand to me , i hesitantly took it and gently shuck it.
" Darla." I replied still frowning.
" Right now I'm not that much of a stranger ." He laughed then I heard the crow again , I cringed having forgotten about it. " You okay ?"
" Yes..I'm fine...I just want to go home..." I said looking around again then again the crow called, this time I think he heard it because he looked up frowning.
" Well...that is bad.." he mumbled then he reached for something in his top , I tensed getting ready to run. " Listen .... that crow that you can hear .... When it gets here it will mean bad news for you ..... you shouldn't come into this forest it's dangerous.
" What are you talking about ?" I asked feeling the fear from earlier slowly creeping back in.
" I can't say but you need to get out of here before that crow appears." He answered then I noticed as he pulled a necklace out and pulled it over his head.He reached towards me , I froze as he pulled the necklace over my head, he then dropped his hands to his sides.I glanced down at the necklace.... it was silver and tear drop shaped .... I gasped because in the middle standing tall was a crow....it was attached to a red cord type thing.
" Why is it a crow ?" I asked then I looked at him .
" It was my mothers..... it is a family thing..." He answered shrugging.
" Your family symbol is a crow ?" I questioned holding the necklace.
He shrugged again and then smiled.
"Omg his smile is amazing." I thought.
"Anyways.." He said " This necklace will help you .... I know it sounds stupid but trust me...Now I better get going .....It was nice to meet you Darla , hopefully we will meet again in the future." He said then smiled and winked at me before walking off into the forest.
" Did he just wink at me ?"
I glanced around the forest as I held the necklace ,huffing I let it go and then something really weird happened the necklace started to rise then it slowly turned to point left , frowning i turned left and slowly walked after a few minutes the necklace dropped back onto my chest , I stopped confused.
