Just a Simple Fairytale

Chapter 4~ The Stream

"I thought you said you knew where it was?" I asked.

"I do. Just a little longer and we'll be there."

"Ok."

*1 hour later*

"Samuel, are you sure you saw a stream?"

"Yes. I'm sure. I'd wager that we're almost there."

"And you would lose." I muttered.

"What was that? Did you say something?."

"Nope. Must've been the wind."

"I'm sure it's... Just... A... Little... Further."

He sounded out of breath. I was beginning to think maybe we should go back to camp.

"Trespassers are not welcome in these parts." a strange voice said.

"Samuel, was that you?".

"No."

"Who's there?" I called.

"None of your business. If I were you I would turn around before your caught." It replied.

"Caught? Caught for what?." Samuel asked.

"Why caught for trespassing of course! Didn't you see the signs, if your caught you'll be in lots of trouble."

"What signs? Who are you?" Samuel questioned.

"You two just wont listen. Get out before it's too late."

"Now hear me! I don't know who you are and I want you to show yourself this instant." I finally said.

"Alright. Here I am."

A girl appeared. She had blue eyes and reddish hair cut short. She was tall and slender. Her skin was porcelain, she was covered in blue patterns all over her body and was clothed in blue and green. She wore no shoes.

"My name is Allison." she replied.

She was obviously a nymph and a beautiful one at that.

"You are not welcome here. Your trespassing on troll land. If they catch you, you'll surely end up dead." Allison said.

"Trolls? There are Trolls in these woods?!" I replied bewildered.

"Yes. and much worse, I suggest you follow me and do as I say if you want to live."

"Why should we?" Samuel said clearly suspicious of this girl and her intentions.

"As I said. There are trolls in these parts and if you don't want to end up dead or worse I suggest you follow me."

"What could possibly be worse than death?" I asked.

She gave me a serious look and said,

"You'll find out if you continue on the path your headed."

We followed the strange lady named Allison and soon reached a stream.
