The Diary

05. In the depths of the darkness

There was an eerie feeling all over the entrance of the door that kept her house sealed from the forest; as if it was warning her not to cross it. But Nyx wasn't going to back down now, she had her mind and heart ready for anything and everything. She had been waiting for this moment for days (3 to be more specific), and nothing could stop her. She was so into the new adventure she didn't even noticed the strange pair of eyes, as red and dark as blood, that kept gazing at her from the depths of the green reign. She didn't feel the loneliness and the await from that longing stare; she couldn't be bothered. The only thing that fully occupied her mind was the thought of living a new adventure, far more entertaining that anything she had ever imagined.

Having thought all that, she took a deep breath before opening the door.

The air suddenly turned even more chilly and the sunlight disappeared in between the clouds. The forest felt magical, however, as it was glowing with a greenish fluorescent light all around the green vegetation. Nothing could be heard, no birds, no insects not even a sign of flowing water. Nyx didn't even thing about this and took the first steps towards the mysterious place.

No sooner had she walked two meters than the branches of the highest nearest tree started moving aggressively. You could feel the panic in the air, how the anticipation was killing the vibe, sweat was forming and dripping and the tension could be cut with a knife. Only, all of this wasn't what Nyx was feeling, it was the thing behind the tree. The pair of glowing bloody red eyes was afraid of that strange thing that just entered its home. Never had he saw a thing like that. Therefore, the fear engraved in it was ensured. Not knowing what to do, he started screaming in order to drive that thing away but failed immensely as Nyx only wandered even closer. She was determined to discover what was causing that noise.

When she was closer enough to see the glowing pair of red eyes, an extremely thick fog started gathering around Nyx. It almost felt as if hands were physically grabbing her, stopping her to get closer to the strange figure in front of her. She struggled for a couple of minutes, not willing to lose the battle, until the fog mysteriously started to disappear. She felt euphoric, as if she had accomplished some unknown trial, made by the strange creatures living in the forest. She was so caught up in her emotions, she didn't notice the disappearance of the pair of red glowing eyes.

It was too late when she finally noticed, there was no trace left behind to be followed, no hope of getting any soon either. With the feelings of hopelessness, she kept venturing inside the forest, not really paying attention to her surroundings. She didn't notice that the amount of red bloody eyes was augmenting with every single step she was taking. She didn't notice the whole on the ground a few meters ahead of her, nor the web hanging upon her head, ready to be thrown the minute she fell down...

It was too late when she finally realised; she had already fallen into the trap.
