"Berna, Dad! Where are you?" I called. I searched everywhere but I couldn't find anyone. "Please! Come back, I don't know what- AAaah! I fell into a trap...
"Wait! I can help you!" cried a voice from behind me.
"Who are you, and how can you help me?" I asked, pulling myself up as I saw plenty of scratches on my leg.
"It's my fault, I set the trap, but it was for the beast, I'm so sorry, and by the way my name is Hector" replied the young boy as he pulled me out of the hole.
"I'm Horix, did you see two people walking by, a man and a teenager?" I asked.
"Oh, sorry, I haven't, but you are welcome to join me for dinner, you must be hungry" replied Hector.
"I'm sorry but I should get going and find my family" I insisted. Suddenly a loud noise came from the forest.
"The Beast!" cried Hector pulling me for a run.
"Where are you taking me? And who is the beast?" I asked, but Hector covered my mouth and continued running.
