Soul-Shared (LAZY AUTHOR)

Chapter 3

     So ya, enough with the introductions of ourselves and to the real story.

      It was the day before the last day of 7th grade and everyone was hyped. It was after school and I was texting Jacob and Jazzie.

Me: can u come over after school today. I don't have anything to do.

Jazzie: sorry I have tuba practice so no

Jacob: same except I got wrestling practice

Jazzie:this late in the year?!?!?!?!

Jacob: yep

Me: k got it

     I thrust my phone into my pocket. Well, that didn't go so well. I guess I'll go into the woods then aft we I drop off my stuff at home. Oh ya! Behind my house is this huge forest that is really fun to explore. Though I basically mapped out the whole thing by the time I was 7. It was still fun anyways. I made my way home. I walked in my house and dropped my stuff on the couch. "Hi honey! How was your day?" My mom yelled from the kitchen "Good!" I yelled back. "I'm gonna go into the woods for a while. That ok?" "Of course honey!" She yelled "Just be back by dinner time ok!" " ok!" I yelled back. I strolled out the back door. My backyard is huge by the way. The forest is at the back edge of the garden and that is quite a way from my house. To get to the forest quicker, I started a quick trot to the end of the garden. Then I entered the forest.

         .......Time Skip 2 Hours.......

    It was starting to rain. Like not the little sprinkling of rain you get, but big, huge, fat drops of rain plummeting down from the sky at the speed of light right towards your nice warm, dry body and soaking you to the bone. Basically, it was pouring. I ran along the muddy, once-dirt trail back to the house. "Great" I thought out loud " now I'm soaked to the bone. I should have never......OOMPH!" Right then, I crashed into someone small who was also running along the path. I landed right in a puddle of mud. Just my luck. I looked up to see if the little guy was ok. And then I saw the strangest thing ever. Even stranger than any of our "incidences". The little guy, it turned out, was not even human. It ( I didn't know their gender at the time) was a small creature, about the size of a 7 or 8 year old kid. Its skin was pure white with little purple crests on each side of his head that ran all the way down It's back to its tail. It's eyes were huge, about the size of nectarines on his face. It stood upright, so it was no surprise I had mistaken it for a young kid.

     After I quickly got over my shock I got the courage to ask," Hey, are you ok?" Then he responded a gravely little voice, "Yes, I'm fine. How are you." Not only did this creature know english, but he was very polite also. " Good." I responded "Do you need any help finding your way home....." I said motioning to the creature. "Tumerc." he replied. "my name is Tumerc and I do not need any help getting home. Now that you know my name, may I ask what is yours?" I guess I can tell him, I thought to myself, it's not like He's gonna stalk me. (Like Werewolf630 does to Hungergamerx28) "My name's Jason." I said holding out my hand. "Nice to meet you." Tumerc looked at me suspiciously then held out his hand. We grasped each other's hands.
