Warrior Princess

Chapter 13

Third Person P.O.V

Little girl was waiting for her Father to return to her but after waiting for almost four hours. He didn't come back. She was getting anxious by the time. So she thought of taking matter in her own hands. She opened the carriage door and walked outside. She stopped at the entrance of the forest, wind was wiping her hair on her face. She huffed in annoyance, Then suddenly wind stopped blowing. Everything became silent. She smiled at the peaceful silence. Then she heard a voice, mesmerizing voice calling her in.

"Come to me dear, Come to me" it said

She looked around in confusion that who is calling her but couldn't find the person.

"I am waiting for you, Dear, Come on" She heard the voice again. It was coming from the forest. The voice lulling her in, like a mother lullaby. She closed her eyes and started walking in the forest forgetting the warning her father gave her regarding Baruna Mountains. When she entered in the forest, the voice stopped calling her getting her out of the dream land she was in. When she got her senses back, she gasped in surprise and took a step back to get out of the forest. But when she did take a step back outside it created a jolt of electricity in her body making her cried out in pain. She took the step back inside the forest to stay away from the pain. "This place is enchanted" she muttered in realization. Her Aunt is a witch so she has a little bit knowledge of magic and spells. She walked further into the forest trying to find her father because she knew he came here. All around her were tall trees, bushes  and birds were chirping enjoying the weather. This place looked so serene that she almost didn't believe her father but she saw the power this place held at firsthand. 

She further walked into the forest not finding anything unusual. The voice that was inviting her can't be hear anymore. She was getting confused by the time because everything looked same to her. "Daddy" she shouted getting panic by the time. After all she was just a little girl. Even if she tried to act tough. She shouted couple of time for his father but there wasn't any reply. She started running to find his father because she can't get out on her own. Panic was evident on her face clearly. 

"I shouldn't have come inside" she thought going back to the words her father told her earlier about this place. 

"Idiot, Idiot, why did you enter here!" she muttered to herself on the verge of tear.

"Father is a fighter, he can take care of himself" she muttered again. She stopped running and fell on her knees, tears leaking from her green eyes. "Stop crying, you are a warrior" she tried to reassure herself  placing her hand on her cheeks and cleaning her tear strained face. "Calm down" she took long breaths to calm herself. Her father taught her that taking long breaths can control the panic. Suddenly she heard a twig break behind her. She stiffened in her position and slowly turned her heard to look whats behind her but to her surprise there was none, just trees. She sighed in relief and turned her head back. A scream pierced through the forest.

"What" she heaved and back away away from the black smoke which was appearing like a woman. "Child, I have been waiting for you" a sweet voice flowed through the air. Girl was scared shit less from the sudden appearance of the smoke like creature in front of her. "Who are you?" little girl stuttered in small voice. "I am the Queen of this Place, my child" woman said in her silky smooth voice. That was the same voice she heard which was calling to her to this place. 

"You called me here" girl stated in confused  tone. "Where is my father, where is he?" she shouted to her, her voice breaking at the end . She was afraid of this creature but she worry for her father more. "All in good time" Woman replied, smile can be evident in the smoke, not offended by girl's raised voice.
