Ophelia

Into the Unknown

The beautiful sun started to set, suddenly the world that was encircling around her started to go dark, everything went still and quiet. She could hear her own breath and was gasping for air, "Oh no it's cold...I'm a little scared now, how long have I been here? What if there's some kind of monster or even ghost in here, is this starting to turn into a nightmare? After all that wonderful things that I've experienced," she said in her mind. As the wind was howling through the trees and the sound of the crickets were all over the place, she started to felt very cold. "This is weird, even the clothes that I was wearing before I fell asleep, was the same clothes that I'm wearing right now, that's why I'm freezing in here...with all these trees and plants providing fresh air and oxygen in this place," she said penitently to herself. She was wearing her old loose jumper pants with her green sleeveless hoodie shirt inside. Her hair was as short as it can be after cutting it all while she was bored and alone at home, her friends teased her for looking like a boy. She doesn't mind it anymore after all, it's nothing compared to all her problems and depressions in life.

She then finally realized how tired she was after walking and exploring the place, how scared she actually is that she didn't know what to do anymore or where to go since it's very dark with only the moonlight guiding her every step. "Oh God help me...I'll just go here and sleep, maybe tomorrow when I wake up...I'll be in another place again. Away from all of this darkness that is with me right now," she said as she was compressing herself in the trunk of a big tree.

The moment she wakes up, blinded by the sunlight shining through her brown eyes, she felt her body aching so much after giving up all her energy exploring the world that she believed was a dream yesterday. "Well I guess this is not a dream anymore huh? Since I could really feel my body is aching and I'm very hungry. This is not fun anymore seriously, how am I gonna survive in here?" she said to herself while letting out a long sigh of despair.

She was walking slowly and weakly when she suddenly heard something from the bushes. She was glimpsing nervously in the corner of her eyes from where the sound was coming from. In a blink of an eye she almost had a heart attack when something jumps in front of her so suddenly "AHHH!!!! Sa-someone help me!!!" She screamed shockingly. "What is this scary creature!? is it a wolf, it looks like a wolf to me but it's way more larger than a wolf I believe. It's, it's red eyes is glaring at me so strong and it's very sharp teeth, I am about to be eaten at any moment now, please please I hope someone saves me mom! I'm scared," this thoughts we're running through her mind as the horrifying creature was about to devour her at any moment now. But then.....an arrow shots through it's head so accurately and then another one went through it's body. Ophelia noticed a sound of something falling into the ground that made her open her eyes again, there lies a black wolf-looking creature gasping for air until it died finally. She then saw someone. It's a man in his 60s wearing a black kefta and holding an arrow in his hands while looking at her weirdly and even her was weirded out by what he was wearing too. She was about to say thank you when she collapsed and saw this old man blurrily approaching her until everything went black in her sight.
