Another World

5.The Old Man

wewa_daa_awesome helped me out a bit in this chapter.
Denika's point of view

"Denika wake up!" I hear someone say, their hands are on my shoulders and they are shaking me a bit.

All I can do is groan and move my head. "Denika, it's me George wake up." I open my eyes just a little bit because for some reason they feel really heavy. I see George's face and trees surrounding him and also a path leading to who knows where.

"Where are we?" I say in a whisper

"I don't know, but we are in a forest." He says letting go of my shoulders.
"Can we stay here a bit because I can barely move?" I say

"Sure. But what happened when you touched the lady?" George asks sitting down across me.

"I don't know, but my hands started to freeze and the rest of my body as well. And thanks for saving me."

"No problem." He says smiling.

Little by little I am able to move myself. And after a little while of just sitting leaning on a tree I am able to move. I gets up and stretch and that's when I realize it's cold and I'm not wearing my hoodie, along with that I'm in my pjs.

"What do we do know now?" I ask.

"I don't know. Do you have an idea of what we should do next?"

"Nope, wait should we follow that trail and see where we end up?"

"Yeah lets go then there is no point in just sitting here doing nothing." George says getting up from the ground.

I didn't have any shoes or slippers on so George gave me his socks and I took some leaves and put them on the bottom of the socks then I took a wide piece of tree bark and put it under the leaf part of the socks and brought it up and ripped some strips and tied them altogether to make some temporary shoes. And I also didn't have a coat or hoodie so George gave me his hoodie because he also had a coat. 

Then we continued down the Rocky  trail and finally when it was starting to get dark we found a house made out of logs.

"Should we go in?" I ask

"I don't know."

"Then let's go in and see who lives here and hope that they are nice and will let us stay the night." I suggest

"Ok lets go then." George says walking ahead of me. I catch up and when we reach the door we stop.

"So should I knock or do you want to knock?" I ask.

"I can knock." He says.

Knock knock knock!!!

The door opens just seconds after George finishes knocking. An old man with bright blue eyes and round glasses perched on his nose greets us.

"Why hello there I have been waiting for you all for hours. Please do come in and get comfortable, I have some hot chocolate for you all on the table."

We both look at each other then walk in  really confused. He somehow knew we were coming.

After we both walk in he looks out the door and then shuts it. The old man then takes us in his living room and he gestures us to sit down. I look at the table expecting two big cups of piping hot chocolate but instead of two there are eleven cups of hot chocolate. The old man takes a cup smiling at us broadly.
