There the odd girl was, standing in the doorway smiling gently. She approached Jane and sat at the edge of the bed looking at her. Her white hair was beautiful when the light of the gems beamed onto it, her red eyes seemed suspicious. Yet, she looked curious. She moved a piece of hair behind her ear and smiled at Jane.
"My brother brought you here hm? It's odd to find a 'human' around these parts. Well, not a human." She said, almost a whisper.
Jane tilted her head a little.Not a human?
"Um, excuse me, but I am very much a human." Jane said a bit irritated.
The girl giggled looking very amused. "Alright then, Ms. Jane. I'm lyla, older sister of Henry. Might I say you are quite entertaining." Lyla said adjusting her red and white dress.
Jane was very confused at this moment, what was going on in Lyla's mind? The way she smiles is a bit creepy. Yet, she's calm.
She tilted her head a little and blinked, which kinda freaked Jane out at the same time.
Jane shook her head and stood up, smiling at Lyla then walking to the doorway. With one final glance at Lyla, she headed out the doorway. Only to meet a beautiful forest and different houses in the trees.Where am I? I don't have enough time! I have to leave immediately!
Jane stared at the surroundings before her. she was amazed, yet confused. She shook off those feelings and started walking through the forest, it seemed endless. Something wasn't right, and she already knew that. What she noticed at first, was that the trees almost looked the same.
Odd..
The second thing she noticed, is how the flowers would die suddenly. As if a presence seemed to be killing them off one by one.
The third thing she noticed, well.The sun, I don't see a sun. Where is the light coming from?
She knew something wasn't right, but she couldn't see what it was. She stopped and turned around. "Whoever seeks to stalk will no longer bring it's presence here. Come out and we won't have any problems." She called out. There was an odd rustling noise, then there she was.
Lyla. Lyla shook her head at Jane.
"Jane, we need to head back. It isn't safe here." "Isn't safe?" "Jane you have to understand-" "I don't." "Just listen!-" "I have to leave!" She spat. Lyla huffed and pulled out a knife that she was apparently holding behind her."I warned you."
