Strangely Forgotten
You fall, the trees spinning around you. Kai seems extremely uneasy, but stays with you, poised to run at any moment. For a few minutes, you stay there, catching your breath.
Suddenly. branches crackle behind you. You freeze. Kai's face drains of color, as she watches behind you. Her mouth slowly drops open wide. You slowly bring a finger to your mouth. 'Be quiet,' you mouth. She nods. The sound behind you stops suddenly. Ever so slowly, you turn around to face the noise, and meet the creature face-to-face. Your heart stops. It's face is so maliciously deformed, you aren't certain of its features, but it doesn't seem to have eyes. Its arms and legs are long and twig-like, positioned ready to pounce. It seems to be waiting for something. Why isn't it attacking?
