My eyes narrow watching a lone squirrel perch on a twisted decaying branch. Sounds of distant nature grow silent as if to hold its breath so to watch. Muscles in my arms flex in anticipation of pulling the bow string back. With conclusive tail spasms, the cautious tree dweller sheds its defense to gnaw at something grasped in its paws. Its glossy eyes reflect the moody autumn skies above, below, its brown fur flows uniformly down its body. The branch beneath it fades from our existence, the clouds in its eyes dissipate into nothingness. I take aim. My heart beats in time with the creature as do my lungs breathe its breath. We are as one. Flung is the arrow, with it trails life around it back into my world. The ground beneath me reaffirms its place in existence as my eyes explode in wonderment watching the arrow escape its intended fate. The squirrel severse its connection with me in two swift bounds through the branches. "Mama!" My arms fall in defeat as do I into mama's gentle hold. "Nearly there." Mama's voice is like a comb through tangled hair. She pulls away from embrace to caress my numbing cheek, her eyes are like wells of golden maple sap. Mama pinches my nose playfully, "You're only getting better."

Hands held me to the ground. Multiple pairs of hands. Multiple faces. A grinning wolf. A razor sharp smile. Bloody lips. I felt their hands claw over my body like they were digging into my flesh. Nails scraped at my skin, knuckles pressed into my flesh. They were tearing me apart. Their fingers gnawed at me, wanting to devour me whole. Wanting to take a piece of me as they leaned over from above. I watched them push and shove each other, grabbing my leg, an arm, my hair. I thrashed beneath them, screaming, but like always my voice was non-existent. ............................................................................ Princess Serri Bayor, did not expect to find herself wondering through the wild forest of Miran alone at night. After escaping the confines of the palace, the last thought on her mind was death. But now as she ventured further into the unknown territory, she wondered what sort of death she would face. All her life she had been warn of what laid in this lush forest. What these towering trees have seen and witnessed beneath their bowing canopies. Suddenly marrying that hairy pig of a man seemed less disgusting. She wondered if turning back would be too late. Would her father kill her upon her arrival or would something else take her life and send her head back on a spike? Follow along as Princess Serri ventures off into a teaming forest filled with hungry killers, tempting eyes and twisted fates. Be forewarned though. This is no fairytale of a story.
