Hide and seek part eight

I stared at them in complete confusion and it took me a moment to snap out of it, "Where exactly is Aryan's Forest located? Is it in Canada, Russia, Europe, U.S.A, Asia," I asked thoughtfully? "Oh and nice to meet you!"

 It was now their turn to look at me in confusion, "What and where are those places? Are they somewhere in Myrandelho? Are you sure you did not fall out of the tree," Seth and Shane said in turns, while both trying hard to keep from laughing?! I glared at them in mock annoyance! 


"Aryan's Forest is the biggest forest in Myrandelho," Wilson said helpfully. "But shouldn't you know that," Seth asked, before remembering what I had just finished saying? I slowly got up, "Do you guys have any idea how I can get back to Everett," I asked? They looked at each other before answering me with a sad 'no'. 


"Oh, well thanks anyway! I'll just find my way home then," I said glumly, and began to walk off. 
"Wait, Ariana. The Emperor of Tréaria, might know," Shane said! "Really, do you know where I could find him," I asked hopefully?

"We were just heading there ourselves, if you don't mind coming with us," Seth offered.
I nodded in my consent and after we had breakfast by the tree, we headed out.      









I knew somewhere, somehow, I would make it back home. I knew somewhere they are waiting for me to come home














Part eight

Hide and seek part seven

I climbed down from the oak tree I had been sleeping in and confronted the people below me.

I was far too tired to even try to run away.


There was three of them, all dressed in black from head to toe. They kinda reminded me of the ninjas I used to watch on TV when I was little; even down to the Katana swords slung across their backs.  



They had been hiking through the forest when they heard me shifting positions and spotted me in the tree. The next thing I know they called up to me which woke me up. Saying "Hey you up there. Come down!" So I obliged them and started to slowly climb down.


Now that I was finally back on the ground they surrounded me. As if checking to see if I was armed. It was kinda funny them thinking I an average fifteen year old girl was a threat. And it was kinda obvious by the way I was dressed that I was unarmed.

And finally after about five agonizing minuets of silence one of them spoke and took off his mask and asked "Where did you come from? How did you come to find this place?" (I could tell by his voice that he was about sixteen or seventeen.) I sat down and motioned for them to do the same then began to unveil my story. "I was playing hide and seek with my siblings. My other siblings had already taken all the usual hiding places and I did not want to be the first to be found, so I ran into the woods that are behind my house to look for a place to hide. While I was running it did not even cross my mind to look where my feet were going. So the next thing I know I am falling down a black hole and am stranded....Exct!"
About five whole minuets passed before I finished telling the whole story, and by then I had their complete interest.  


Then one of the other two guys looked at me "What's your name? Where are you from then?" One of the other two asked me. "My name is Ariana, I'm from Everett Washington. May I ask what your names are and where exactly I am?" I answered slowly. "Oh I'm sorry. My name is Shane and these two are my brothers Seth and Wilson. And you're in Aryan's forest." Shane (the unmasked one) said and indicated to his brothers.

Hide and Seek part six

As the sun began to set, I finally got up and came to my senses. I gathered my self up and walked back to the cave.

In about half an hour I finally realized I was going in circles, after I had passed the same tree three times!


"What way was it? Oh snap. Which way do I go??"
I said to myself as I slumped against the tree frazzled.
"I can't be lost, Not now!"
The light began to grow dim as twilight began to fall. I knew I had to find shelter for the night, out of harms way.






I jumped to my feet and walked northwest for about another half hour till I gave up.
I leaned against a tree and pulled out my cell phone and of course there was no reception. "Perfect just perfect, might as well just climb this here tree and sleep." I found a good spot and began to climb.


I soon found I was at a safe height so I found a little hollow and curled up to sleep. Praying that I would make it through the night.















Alone in the forest at dark

Part six

Hide and Seek part five

I got back up from my knees and began to walk away from the delicious berry bush and back into the Sea of Oak.

As I walked on, I saw little squirrels scampering about from tree to tree and I saw a mother deer with her fawn walk right by me as if I was not even there. I walked and walked till I heard the sound of flowing water near by, that is when I realized I was thirsty. 

So I followed the sound of running water till I came upon a little stream running through the forest, I followed the stream and gaped at the sight in front of me. It might have been the most magnificent and peaceful sight I have ever seen in my whole life.

I was at the top of a fresh water waterfall, that overlooked all the autumn colored trees below me.

So I drank gratfully then sat back to enjoy the sound of the running water and rest my tired feet.











Part five...

Hide and seek Part four.

When I awoke from my troubled and nearly sleepless sleep the rain had stopped and I was stiff from sleeping curled up in the cave.

I groaned as I got up from my cramped position and stretched, while I did my body cracked and popped with every move I did.

      

I went over to the place where I had fallen the afternoon of yesterday and still could not climb up and out.
I walked over to the mouth of the tunnle cave thing and looked in mock horror and amazement at the huge Oak forest in front of me. 


I knew that I would have to go in there to find something to eat because I just remembered my grumbling stomach and that it had been almost been 24 hours since I had last ate and was starving. 
I left the cave and started for the Green Sea in front of me expecting my doom.  

When I entered the Sea, I was overcome with the beauty of everything around me, I began to spin and look around while surveying my surroundings.


One thing occupied my mind and that was food.


I spotted a bush of wild Strawberries at the entrance of the Oaks, I ran over and grabbed as much as I could handle and sat down to eat the sweet berries.

Hide and seek Part three.

I pushed and pulled at the boulder for what seemed like ages but finally my hand hit something, I pushed on the stone and a fist size opening appeared. I greatfully gulped the fresh air that had been deprived of me, when I was struggleing with the rock.
I gathered up my strength and pushed again on the large stone with all my strength, the stone shifted a little, so I pushed again on the stone.
And with one final blow to the rock I disslodged it and it opened up.

Now I was faceing a slight delemma I did not know how far that tunnle thing was and I wondered if my family was looking for me by now, it had been six hours since I had fell down that blasted hole and I was famished.
And just as I thought it could not possibly get any worse it started to rain and it became dark and cold.
I huddled in the mouth of the cave completely soaked and miserable.
I heard the thunder crack over head and saw lightning flash in front of me.
I was wet, cold, alone, hungry, and lost.


I knew tomorrow I had to face the never ending Oak forest, to try and find a way to climb back to the other side of the tunnle thing and get home.
The Oaks looked tall and solum as I drifted off into a troubled sleep to the sound of the rain.
  




Part Three.

Hide and seek Part two

I landed on something strangly soft and weird.
When I looked up where I had fallen I could hardly see the opening.
I got up and brushed myself off and walked around trying to figure out where I was.
When I got bored of trying to think, I attempted to climb out of the dark hole, and failed miserably.
I was stuck!
So I wondered around looking for a way out of this black hole. 






I walked around till I saw a crack of light streaming through a crack in the stone, on the other end of the tunnle like thing.

I slowly ran my hand over the crack and fealt the warmth of the sunlight on my hand.
I lifted my hand off the crack and put my eye to it, to see what was out there.
It was so different then what I had ever seen in my entire life!
There in front of me, or should I say in front of the wall was a Sea of Trees.
There looked to be millions upon millions of endless green trees. 
I knew right then and there, that I had to get out of this prison. 
I dug my fingers into the crack and began to pull at the large stone.


      


Part two.

Hide and seek Part one

Let's play hide and seek?!
Come on Ariana, Tony, and Lizzie let's play, I'll even be it first. My older brother Steven said hopefully. 

I started running around looking for my perfect hiding place.

I searched high and I searched low but I could not find it 

and did not know where to go.

When I ran by I saw Jimmy hide in the shed and Lizzie hide under the bed.

I heard James counting, and I knew my time was short.
(Come on Ariana think, think.) I said to myself.

I ran into the woods looking for the perfect place
I looked behind me, while I was running and I fell down something strange.
