   Deep in the forest a small wooden shack stood, shadowed by great woodland trees. Holly, unconscious, laid flat on the floor of the home. The floor boards creaked and the wind made the walls rattle slightly. She opened her eyes, staring up at the vine infested ceiling. She sat up and rubbed her head.
"W-what the hell..." she looks around the empty room "Hello?"
   Her voice echoed through the small shack but there was no response. She got up from the floor, a drop of blood hitting the floor. She walked to the cracked and broken door, a machete hanging down beside it. She grabbed the machete and she froze. The energy within the weapon flowed through her palm like a mystic ghost. Her eyes filled red with blood, her veins popping out and body changing. A red aura filled her hair and she screamed. She slashed the door, shattering it and headed out.
    Rona, awoken by sound of a bell, sat up in the patch of flowers she laid in. She looked around and noticed a small Doe standing beside her. The Doe had a small bell wrapped around its neck and stood right beside Rona. The two stared at each other for a moment before Rona reached out for it.
"Hey there little baby" she stroked it's fur lightly. "Where are we?"
   The doe looked away in the distance before looking back at her.
"I shall call you... Butterscotch" The doe leaned its head down and raised it. The bell chimed and shined, sending upward into the air a bit. She floated around and Rona began to panic.
"W-WOAH...PUT ME D-DOWN" She flailed in the air.
   Butterscotch obeyed and placed her down softly, the bell no longer shimmering. Rona, astonished by Butterscotch's power, stared at her in curiosity.
"You're one special little baby huh?" she rubbed her fingers along the Doe's ears.
   Rona  smiled and felt safe being beside Butterscotch. Her smile soon faded as pain struck. Rona fell down into her knees and saw a vision. She saw herself being strangled by a tall figure. The vision faded as she came back to reality, breathing hard. She peered around the area afraid of what's to come. Rona grabbed Butterscotch before running off into the deep forrest. She scaled small logs, rivers and rocks. She finally found herself lost in the dark shade. She shook slightly and held Butterscotch rather close to her chest.
"I-I'll protect you don't w-worry" Rona spoke as she ran her fingers along Butterscotch's fur.
   The crackling of leaves overflowed Rona's promise, as she immediately dropped butterscotch. Holly stared at Rona from beside a tree before rushing to her. Holly grabbed rona by the neck like she was weightless, lifted her and held her against a tree. Holly stared into Rona's eyes as she struggled, kicking and punching.
"ST-STO..." Rona began to cough and kicked Holly's machete right out of her hand. The bloodrush escaped Holly's conscious as she dropped Rona down.
"HO-" Rona coughed as she tried to catch her breath. "HOLLY WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?"
   Holly snapped back into reality, looking at Rona.
"W-what do you mean? And how did i get here?" She peered around "Last thing i remember is i was in a shack"
   Rona looked at the machete and finally arose.
"T-that machete...it made you go mad! You almost killed me but i knocked it off."
   Holly looked at the machete and began to stare. "I believe it's cursed...took control of me"
   Rona nodded and lifted the weapon, placing it just on her belt.
"We'll only use it for desperate measures for it?"
   Holly nodded in agreement and the two girls looked at Butterscotch, she trembled as her leg was broken. Rona screamed and ran over to lift her up. Tears filled her eyes.
"I-I'm so sorry baby...i didn't mean to drop you..." Rona cried into her fur.
   Holly stood still looking down in embarrassment. Rona cried until there weren't any tears left to shed. Another vision struck her, this time the vision of someone sleeping. She stood upright and held butterscotch close to her.
"Follow me and stay close...don't touch the blade" Rona stated without looking at Holly. Holly nodded and the two headed out.
