As soon as the lectures were over, Alex and I met at our college cafeteria.
"You got everything?" I asked him "Yep. Got my compass,water bottle,torch light" "Torch light?" "Well its going to be a long journey so just in case" "Oh! Let me text my Mom that I'm gonna be late" I texted my Mom
Hey Mom, I'm having sleepover at my friends house. I'll be a little late. Don't worry. Love u:)
"Done" "Lets go" "Wait!" I said "What?" "You really do know the way into the woods, the place where you said that you felt something odd ?" I asked him. He stared at me, blank, for a moment. " Do you? You do know the place right ?" "Relax Vanessa I know what I'm doing" ——————————————————————
He really didn't know the way AT ALL!!!! The woods were like a labyrinth. We literally lost our way right after we took the right turn. When we walking through the woods, I started remembering all the moments that I spent with Alex in these few months. I remembered that one time when he saved me from street thugs. Then one time I had a very bad day and Alex came to my house and with him he brought a Big bucket of Chocolate Ice cream just to cheer me up. When I was with Alex I felt like I could do anything. I could conquer the whole world. I Loved Alex. I know you might be thinking its just been few months,but love doesn't take time, it just happens. But deep down in my heart,I knew I couldn't fall in love with him, because he didn't knew the Real me.
"Let's take a break, we've been walking for hours" he told me. "Okay"
We stopped. We rested under a tree. I felt a little guilty for using Alex, He was helping me and soon he could die because of me. I needed to tell him the truth.
"Alex I want to tell you something" I told him "Okay, what happened" "I am not a normal person"I said "I know, I know that you are really irritating,crazy,mad,goofy,funny" "No Dummy not that! I mean that I am not human" He paused for a second. And then....
"Hahahahahahahaha. You're kidding aren't you. Seriously Vanessa you couldn't find a better joke."
"Oh Really!. I guess I'll just have to prove it to you" I stood up. I was concentrating to...
And it happened I summoned a mild wave of water and threw it on him.
His face was wide opened. Half of the water he drank and half was on him. And then he Fainted. "Alex! Alex! ALEX!" "Yeah,yeah I'm up" "AHHHHHHHH" he shouted. "What?" I asked him "Yo-yo-you are..you how... you what?" And he Fainted.AGAIN.. "ALEXXXXXXX" I shouted. AGAIN "Yeah, Yeah, AHHHHH!!" "Alex listen to me okay,calm down,relax,breathe." "Listen, that book you showed me about mysterious place, about a kingdom, whose princess ran away." "Yeahhh.." "That princess is none other than Me" Then He fainted.AGAIN!!!!!!
"ALEX,IF YOU FAINTED AGAIN I WILL BRING THE WHOLE FREAKING OCEAN JUST TO DROWN YOU." "OK,OK.Continue" "Ok. My Real mother died when I was 6 years old. And then my father married another woman who I really Don't care. After a few years, My stepmothers twin came and attacked my Kingdom.Her forces were stronger than ours. So to keep me safe my Father told me leave our Kingdom. I hesitated, but he told me 'Never Be Afraid.cupcake. You are Stronger than you think'. That was the last I heard of him. Its been 9 years since I left my real home. I don't know if my Father is alive or..." Tears welled up my eyes. It was difficult for me. I thought Alex would abandon me. That I'm not a normal human being, but instead.. "Oh my god, Vanessa come here" He hugged me. In his arms I felt like home. I felt Safe. "You don't think I'm weird,do you?"I asked him "Of course not. Of course I got a little scared when you summoned a tide of wave, but the tide of wave or you not being a normal human being will never ever change the fact you are very important to me." We were interrupted by a noise. A noise like a wolfs howl.
They showed themselves. And let me tell you they were Very scary.

They had hungry eyes. Scary claws.There were not 1 but 2 scary creatures. Only one thought came to me RUN. But I couldn't I knew that I had to kill them, they were fast they could easily kill me and Alex. "Alex we have to fight them." I told him whispering. "ARE YOU CRA- The wolves howled ,more angrier. "Are you crazy,we can't kill them" "If we run they will kill us anyway" I whispered him "So- He was interrupted we one of the wolves leaped at me. I focused and summoned a wave of hot water and threw at the wolf. But it only made him even more angrier. I quickly picked up a tree bark. Alex did the same. He went to distract the other wolf. While I was ready to kill the other one. The wolf leaped at me. I swayed my bark at him and his monstrous form crashed on the nearest tree. It began growling softly in agony for a moment, curled into a furry ball at the foot at the tree.
"Now or never Vanessa!" I told myself, created momentum by running to it and finally lunging on it, the pointed bark raised above my head. As soon as it bark cut through its fur and flesh, a painful howl escaped its mouth before dying.
Eveything happend in slow motion. I was so busy killing the wolf I forgot about Alex. I turned just in time to see when the second wolf came to attack me and Alex came in between, although he was bleeding profusely in several places.I was sad,angry all my emotions came together I swayed the tree bark and the wolf back down. I summoned a huge tidal wave and drowned the wolf.
Then immediately I kneeled beside Alex. I tried to feed him some magical nectar and Ambrosia. I thought it would work but it didn't. I tried covering his wound by putting bandages but the bleeding didn't stop. He was trying to say something I couldn't understand. "Come on Alex! You can't Leave me like this! Please!"I begged him "I-i Love you Vanessa"he told me "I Love you too Alex,Please,Please..." I checked his breathing. I-It had stopped. It was like I was drowning in my own magic. That were his last words. 'I love you'. The guy I loved Sacrificed his life for me. My heart broke into thousands of peices. I have lost too many loved ones. I definitely didn't wanted to lose Alex.
