Into the deep woods

Chapter three: In the woods

It's been 2 hours since i left home. It really is along walk to Grandma's home. The pie is starting to get cold. I decided to take the long cut. Since its still early... maybe it wont take me very long to deliver this and get back home before my mom gets to. I also have no means of transportation.

The road was all bumpy. My feet are starting to sore and its almost near afternoon. Afternoon means its getting really hot. 

"Hey!! Phenice what's up" Someone in a hush voice called me. It was Jake, my former classmate and friend. We met during my 1st year in higschool. 

"Hey...How's it going? What are you doing here?" I asked him. "Well, me and my family moved here a day ago since our other relatives are nearer here." he pointed to another house  with a man talking to another man while the  woman was sitting in a rocking chair knitting a pink scarf. "Anyway, what are you doing here walking all by yourself?" he asked. "Oh... I'm going to deliver this pie i baked to my grandma. She's from the other village" I told him. 

"Tss... if you walk all the way using that path it going to take you one... or maybe two light years to get to her. That's a figure of speech" He Said. "Why dont you take the shortcut?" 

"Shortcut???" I asked... There was a SHORTCUT AFTER ALL!!!! AND I DID NOT KNOW???? GRR... ITS LIKE TRAVELLING TO SCOTLAND TO BUY HAGGIS WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING YOU HAVE ONE IN THE FRIDGE!!!! 

"Yeah There is... Just go straight in the woods.... that would lead you there" he answered me with a smirk. I am not even sure if I would like to take his advice and go into the depths of that creepy place just to get in time for grandma or let my skin boil in the sun just to get to her safely. i was starting to hesitate

"No, thank you... I would rather have  cramps from walking for two light years to get to her than take that creepy path. I might not survive" I said, while I turn away and start to walk.

"Tss... maybe you wont survive... BUT THE PIE WILL!!!" he Shouted. What did he mean that the pie will survive??? The person who is carrying that material object will die but the material object will remain??? Just Like my sister???

"Hey Im just kidding!!!" He said when i shot him a death glare. "Anyway... If you really want to have your skin burned in the sun while you walk to the other village then Im not stopping you. But I gave you an advice already ... so dont blame me if you come home with a dark skin complexion" he said. He smirked at me. "Tss... Cant be... I have a cloak" I told him in a teasing manner and i stick my tongue at him. He did his signature "Tss" line and waved me goodbye.

It can't be. All the memories of back when my family was still complete... when half of my family died... pictured again in my mind. All because of Jake's Pie joke. GRR ... Screw him and im going to beat the tarts out of him when we meet again.

I was so cencentrated on my thoughts that I almost walked up past to many people. One of them almost stepped on my cloak. Cloak. Maybe that is also one reason why the past plays in my mind again. This cloak was an object from the past. This time... I decided to set my thoughts aside and cocentrate on my destination.

"Darn It Jake!!!!" Jason  said. I sighed. Jake was supposed to try to lure that Girl in to the woods and i would lure her to our lair, so we could have something fresh to eat. 

"What the !!! So you want me to force her into the woods??? That would be so Dumb!!! If I did, she would totally question it and reject me!!! I know Phenice Dude!!!" Jake said while stammering.
