Chapter 4: I Am, Actually Here?

       BOOM!......

Lea was blasted into a pure wave of heat and she fainted.

Time passes...

Lea slowly opens her eyes as she felt something pecking her face. She slowly opened her eyes to see a cute little sparrow playing with her. Lea chuckled and slowly got up,carrying the bird in her hands. She looked around and saw, she, was in a beautiful forest with sunlight pouring into the gaps of the trees. It looked so beautiful and happy. Lea took a deep breathe, and looked at her hand. Her dress had changed into a normal shirt and pants. Her sword was tucked into a small leather cover which protected the sword. She started walking as the bird left her.

Everything around her looked beautiful. Lea looked at everything in surprise. Home.. She, was in the place she was born... Suddenly she started jumping and running around. Lea went closer to the streams kneeling down and let the water flow through her palms. She let out a huge sigh and got up and started walking, trying to find anythung that could help her. Small birds fluttering here and there, frogs were jumping near the trees in excitement, butterflies were happily flying around the bushes, and cute little deers playing around in the distance. Lea let, all her worries away walking happily but, made, sure she was ready to pull out her sword if any danger comes.

Time passes..

Lea had been walking for a long time now. And the surrounding was getting dark and spooky. The darkness is, making it hard to see. Lea started shivering, she wished she could have thicker clothes. And she wished she could use her powers, but one, she was shivering and her ice powers did not help. Second she, had no idea how to use it and if she tried she probably will kill something or damage this place. Lea now was walking in the cold dark forest trying to be brave. Was she going in the wrong path? Lea suddenly got an idea. She took a deep breathe and thought to be a wolf. She opened her eyes and looked at her hand, but there was no hand. Just a, shimmering paw. Lea started walking deeper into the forest.

As she, continues walking, she noticed something looking at her. She ignored it and kept walking. Suddenly a small crunch came, in the corner and she looked to her side, and saw a tiger prawling towards her. Lea's eyes widened. But the tiger did not pounce on her. Instead it challenged her to fight.

Then Lea realized she was a wolf, and that is why the tiger did nto pounce instead it wanted to fight. Lea had no idea what to do she, slowly started moving backwards, trying not to make that much sound. The tiger growled slowly and then suddenly the tiger pounced. Lea emmediatly shut her, eyes and quiwered, waiting for the terror of the tiger.

But there was no tiger pouncing on her. There was a sudden thud and Lea opened her eyes to see the leaping to its feet and dissappearing into the darkness. Lea then noticed a bright orange light near her. She was too afraid to turn.

Lea slowly took a deap breath and turned around. The second she saw what it was she gasped holding her mouth, as her eyes flew wide open. Standing near her was the most fierce looking fire wolf staring down into her souls, not daring to move. Hot flames surrounded the wolf bit did not burn the surrounding wood, and trees.

I could see the wolf slightly smirking through the blazing hot flames. I was still in my wolf form so I quickly transformed into my original self. The fire wolf too slowly started transforming into an extremely handsome young boy standing next to her smirking. He slowly bend down to his knees and said, " hello frosting, I see you are lost. Never seen someone so beautiful in my life! Though I am sure you are not as innocent as you look." he said sitting down next to Lea. She quickly stood up and stared at the boy in, surprise. " uh ok... I have no idea who you are... And yeah thankyou.. For saving me. But I actually need help to reach  the palace. Can you please help? " Lea  asked pleading.

He smirked and started walking towards her. Lea shuffled backwards until she hit the tree." I would help you, but only if you do me a favor. " he, said smirking. Lea pushed him away and said" no thankyou! I actually will find my own way back there! And I am not so innocent! I.. Have powers.. Ok! I.. Am powerful! " I said trying to be brave.  He suddenly burst into laughter and said," pff yeah right! " he, said trying to stop laughing.

Lea got so mad she suddenly just threw her hand pointing at him and an ice spear went zooming at him. But that smirk did not vanish from his face, and he just opened his hand and the spear completely melted. Lea was so embarrassed, so she quickly said, " uh.....ok bye! Thanks, for helping!" and she turned to go. But suddenly stopped as she felt a strong hand holding her wrist and pushed her back into the tree. She vinced in pain as her back slightly hurts. The boy said, ", oh sorry my cute little frosting! Didn't mean to hurt my cupcake! I am Jake Carter..and you don't need to say who you are. I was waiting for you Helena! You must be tired. Why don't you just take a nap. I will carry you to the palace." Jake said smiling. His smile was amazing... Lea quickly said" no! I am, so not tired! I am, perfectly fine let's.. Uuhh.. Let's just g-" and slowly Lea passed out in tiredness right into Jake's arms.

He slowly carried her and came, closer to her ears and whispered," you are one cute girl" he said smiling and erupted in flames carrying Lea with him and disappeared.
