I was scared SHITLESS!!!!!!! I dared not to look up from where the growling was coming from. Actually, I may not know much about animals per-say but I'm sure I heard a roar....not a growl BUT A FREAKING ROAR!!!!! I slowly but carefully lifted myself into a sitting position. I looked down at my muddy hands and mud-covered legs, being that I was wearing shorts. I looked around to access my surroundings, and I saw that I had managed to get into an opening in the middle of the woods. Or so I hoped it was in the middle of the woods. I also hoped the teachers found out that I was missing and would come looking for me, hoping they would find me before this monster or beast that has followed me had the chance to rip me to shreds! The roar this time was closer! I started to shake from fear and I can now pinpoint that the roar is definitely from a lion. A fucking lion, why would a wild lion be in a public park where civilians come to often!
I turned around very slowly, clutching my right hand over my chest and my leftover my mouth, to scared to say anything while my heart beats a mile every second that passes. many thoughts go through my head, - oh my gods, will this be the end of me will I die today, I'm so scared what if I get mauled by this lion and when the rescue team comes to get me they can't recognize my face. Oh, what about aunty Diana uncle Tom and Chad! what will they say when I'm gone! I'm so afraid- Deep in my thoughts I did not hear when the beast or creature had gotten closer to me, hell my thought was so deep the damn thing was standing but an inch away from my face staring at me. When I came to my breathing hitched, my eye widen, what I saw in front of me was incredible, this lion, yes a lion stood tall as a fully grown oak tree, not really but it was tall and big in muscle male. I could tell from the mane that adorned his head I had to look up from my sitting position I was only able to see his hairy mane and snout. I didn't move, I didn't even flinch, even though he stood right in front of me, and was doing nothing to me at the moment, that did not mean he wouldn't with any sudden movement I would make. scared hed leans down and just bit my head right off.
The lion then shifted his head he had looked down at me and at that moment that split second my life flashed before my eyes, I knew this was it, I was going to die and that was that. at least I would be joining my parents in the afterlife. I waited for the pain of his sharp teeth piercing my skin announcing me dead but it never came. in fact, when I looked into the lion's eyes what stared back at me were the most beautiful pair of eyes ever, they were the color of jade a green so vibrant so clear, he was beautiful. when we locked eyes it was if time stopped, there was just me and him the forest did not exist. I felt safe for some reason. I felt like a blanket of protection was cast around me; sitting here in front of this gigantic lion, it felt right. Just like that, it was as if I was snapped out of whatever phase I was in, he roared loudly facing the treelines behind me, he looked at me one more time before sprinting off into the vast forest leaving me and the blanket of protection with him. I was in a daze after he left, I didn't even notice when the rescue team came and got me, I didn't hear what they were asking me, I was barely able to respond at all. By the time I got back to the campsite the group that was supposed to be with me were in a straight like getting scolded by the teachers for leaving me in the forest by myself. Apparently, when they got back to the camp they noticed I was not with them and decided I'd find my way back, there was no need to inform the teachers, but as the sky became dark and the stars began to show they began to panic and hurried to tell a teacher. They were punished with doing the dishes for the students and teachers that were on the trip. While I had a day to relax, they felt I was traumatized by something and they don't know by what. They were right in a way but I'd never tell, something about the way the lion looked at me before sprinting back into the forest told me that I shouldn't tell anyone about what I saw.
About three days after meeting that lion, I was sat at the campfire roasting marshmallows when a gigantic wolf strolled over to me and for some reason, I felt that same security around this creature. I don't know what is going on. first a lion a gigantic lion that shouldn't even exist and now a wolf too. what is going on, why does this keep happening to me! I thought to myself. This wolf who showed in front of me sat next to me and just stared at me, I wasn't as scared of this wolf as I was of the lion, for some reason I felt that this wolf would not hurt me. as if he was there to protect me from the lion if that. He was beautiful yes jet black fur with a moon half shaped moon on his forehead right above his left eye the color of white, the only white on this wolf fur and his eyes don't get me started on that. it was the beautiful color of red, now I know what your thinking, red isn't that a red flag if his eyes are red doesn't that mean he's dangerous! No, actually this red wasn't a violent red it was more like a light shade of red as if it was sparkling. breathtaking! He stood to the left of me as well, I was interested in why this wolf wanted to sit and stare at me, so I began speaking to it. I know, its an animal it doesn't understand me right! well for some reason every time I said something that needed an answer to it shook its head eighter up and for yes or left and right for no. I didn't know what to think of the conversation I had with this wolf, but the time the air became cold I bid goodbye to the wolf and went in my tent.
you would think that was the last of these sudden surprise visits...NOPE! I have no idea why these animals keep appearing in front of me, I don't even own a pet at home so to have wild animals approach me as if it was nothing, I mean I'm human and don't have sharp canines and claws so yea, no threat here. It's just so out of this world, here I was again the next day going into the woods to get firewood but this time with a different group, I'm with a teacher and students we don't even go too far into the woods we stay close to the camp sit. This I am thankful for, for I don't want to chance to see that gigantic lion again, even though I felt safe around him he was still a lion, still deadly still in the words of the jungle a KING! I had grabbed a good portions of twigs and sticks that I could carry and made my way back to the campsite, when I made it there I deposited my bunch of wood on the ground next to the fire and was about to make my way back into the wood for more when a huge gigantic wolf stood right behind me! can you say scream! because I did, not only did I not hear him behind me, he was yet again big tall and a wolf! This wolf looked just like the wolf that visited me yesterday night! He had jet black fur with a full moon white patch on he forehead on above the right eye. Now call me crazy but I think those two wolves are twins! well I mean the pups are always born as litters but maybe just two were born this time. look at me trying to figure out how many pups are born n crap. The wolf growled at me! he looked at me with those chocolate brown eyes of his and growled again when I didn't react to him. At this point I wasn't even that scared, I had been visited by a lion and a look-a-like wolf yesterday so to see this wolf in front of me is nothing new. I said this to him out loud and he didn't seem to like what I said, he growled one more time a bit louder and stalked towards me, he comes so close I closed my eyes waiting for death again but it didn't come, instead of feeling teeth in my flesh I felt a wet snout in the crook of my neck sniffing. I was so confused! The wolf kept his snout there for a good 10 minutes before he removed his snout and did a wolfy huff and backed off, he looked me right in the eyes and yet again I felt as if he would not hurt me, as if he would protect me from danger.....as if. he sped off into the forest just as the other students and teacher came back to the campsite, and just like that, I didn't see any of the three animals that visited me throughout the rest of my trip. For some reason... I was sad that I didn't.
The dreams I had after that trip were different, I no longer dreamt of Serena, I dreamt of those three animals and a galaxy, almost like a different world altogether, I was not sitting on a branch from a high up tree looking out into the blue stared sky, no I was walking on clouds. soft plushy clouds, I never knew where I was going but I had this feeling I knew to walk forward. I walked till I came upon a castle high up into the clouds with a glass looking stairway leading up to the front doors of the castle. I thought for castles they would have guards protecting the fort at all times, but as I made my way up to the castle the erg to barge in was prominent, it was like whoever was beyond these doors were calling me, as if I belonged there, and right when I was about to open the doors my dream would disappear and a black smoke type substance would appear, this would stop me in my tracks, it was as if it was warning me but also telling me that this is not the right way. How could a mist of black smoke make me feel as if something so peaceful was wrong beats me, but once the black mist of smoke began to grow and soon there was only darkness I began to tremble. it was as if this mist knew me and my fears because as I trembled and had shot out of the mist and touched my shoulder making me scream and awake from my dream! waking up with hair matted to the back of my neck from sweat and my whole body feeling cold from the sweat. I backed myself to the headboard and calmed myself, I knew that these dreams meant something but what I don't know. this was a problem for me and i would have to do something because losing sleep over there dreams was proving to be too much and i need my sleep! "Ill as aunt Diana about some sleeping pills in the morning," I said to myself as i got out of my bed and made my way to the bathroom for a shower, i was determined to get my sleep no matter what after today.
