*screamin* a hustle cat(Mason) fanfiction

chapter 18

The drive was an hour long, although it felt as if it was just a few minutes. When we arrived at our destination, i parked the car and smiled over at my stunning girlfriend. She looks around and then back to me with a look of confusion.

"why are we at a forest?" 

We sat in the car in a gravel makeshift parking lot surrounded by trees that swayed in the wind. leaves fluttered to the ground and birds took flight from their homes into the sky. Smiling at the serenity of it all, i chuckle.

"don't worry, dear. You'll see in a few minutes."

 I take the key out of the ignition and open the door. the fresh air draws me in and the chirping of wildlife consumes me. I step out onto the leaf covered gravel. The satisfying crunch of it all echoes through the seemingly abandoned area. The shutting of the car door scares the wild birds from their hiding places. What seems like hundreds of birds take flight in a mob and fly in front of the sun allowing few rays on sunshine to grace select blades of grass with its beauty. Mason follows my lead. I round the car and take her hand in mine. The sun shining on her strawberry blonde hair reflects off of it making it glisten white. Her eyes shine brighter than i've ever seen. The natural sunlight blesses her sunkissed skin showing off every little detail of her face to me. Taking a few steps backwards I encourage my darling to follow me. Hesistantly, like a dear encountering a rabbit for the first time, she slowly falls into step with me.

        We walk down the fading path through the woods. The trees lumber overhead lightly dancing to the music nature produces. Vines stretch up along the trunks of the thickest trees thirsting for a shred of light. Blades of grass peak through the leaves that have gathered on the forest floor for years. Squirrels chase each other ecstatically from tree to tree kicking up leaves on their adventure. Halfway through our journey a rabbit hops across the path. each jump followed by an aggressive crunch. 

       after a serene walk we come into a circular opening. an arch of tree branches shield the customers of the bizarre from getting scorched. I lead my nervous girlfriend from tent to tent. Showing her every wand, herb and bottle. 

     As the sun begins to set we make our way back, arms full of cloth bags with witchery products. A day full of fun with my girlfriend.
