''Long Long ago, when the humans were not even born, the earth which was full of dense forests, there were only existence of angles who lived in the 'Garden of Eden'. They lived together in peace. They were really nice to each other and as well as friendly. Their relation was really amazing. But suddenly they changed. Violence and jealousy started to grow among them. They started to hate each other. Soon a war broke down in the Garden of Eden for the first time. Some angels Fell from the Garden due to the war. Some of them fell on the earth while others, nobody knows where they disappeared. Some believes that those who's existence is not known, are the ones whom we call 'SATAN' . And the ones who fell on earth are known as LESHY, the Slavic beast of the woods.''
''Woo sounds interesting.'' - Bertha exclaimed as she flipped the first page to second. She is very excited to complete the book as soon as possible as her patients are running out. The moment she flipped the page, her father opened the door of her room, making her flinch by the sudden noise.
''Dear, I am home.'' - Mr. Tumbler a.k.a Bertha's father said as he made his way to his lovely daughter.
''Dad.'' - Bertha ran to her dad and wrapped her tiny arms around the slightly old man with small beard, hugging him tightly as if he'll get lost if she doesn't.
''My dear child, did you miss me?'' - He asked as he hugged her back.
''Not that much.'' - She literally lied as she smiled. Bertha loves her father as much as her father loves her. Both of them equally missed each other. She denied the fact because she was angry with him for being late.
''Don't lie. I know you missed me.'' - He said as he pinched Bertha's tiny nose, ''Your eyes are enough to tell me that you missed me a lot. So, did you get bored?''
''No, I found an interesting book today. So, I Didn't get bored.'' - She said
''Hmm. You learned to live on your own in just one day. That's very impressive. I have to give you a reward for that'' - He said as he put his hand in his pocket, rummage for a while before pulling out some chocolate bars. Her face lit up by that. She took the chocolate bar before thanking her father.
''And what was 'that book' you were talking about?
''Dad it's a fantasy book I guess. You should see.'' - She said while passing the book to her father.
''Maybe later.'' - He said as he as he took the book from her hand, place it on the table before looking at Bertha, ''Let's eat dinner first.''
[at the dinner table]
''Oh I forgot to ask do you like the new house, sweety?'' - He asked
''yeah a lot. I found a lot of interesting stuffs here.'' - Bertha said as she took a slurp on her soup.
''You must have found a lot of treasures. Well what did you find?'' - He asked again
''I found a flute, A traditional lamp made with paper which was really beautiful. And I found an interesting book which I was talking about. It wa...'' - Bertha was cut off by the sudden howl coming from the forest. With a light scream she bounced on her chair.
''What was that, Dad? It's so scary.'' - She asked him, eyes shut as the howl gets more loud.
''Oh that? It's nothing.'' - He said with a smile, ''Maybe some wild Wolves. Don't worry they live in their own zone. They won't come here. As long as you don't step in there zone, I mean the forest.''
''The forest. Rest assure dad cause I won't go there. I already know a big secret lying on the forest. But what if they come here.'' - Bertha said with horror.
''Don't worry my child. If they even come here I will fight and save my princess from them.'' - He said as he tapped on my head.
''But I heard they are really strong. Way stronger than you.'' - She mocked
''Well I am more stronger than them.'' - He said
After a long talk, both of them finished their dinner. Bertha went to her room as so her father.
[In Bertha's room]
oh I can't fall asleep. They are making so noise. Should I see? No, what if they attack me. How would they attack me? Dad said they live in their own zone. I would just peek sneakily to see what are they.
Bertha looked from the window. She unclearly saw something red glowing. She rubbed her eyes and again take a look. What she saw was really inexpiable. She saw four red glowing eyes. She freaked out and went to her father. That night she slept with her dad trembling all over her body.
Hi!! Everyone. This is my first work. As I am not an native English speaker (and also mostly skip English classes) there can be some mistakes. Sorry for that!!!
