One year earlier

The sky was blue, the sun was shining, the clouds were soft and fluffy. How did Johnathan know this? He was falling from the sky of course.
Johnathan was taking in the view of how blue the sky was, until he realized that he was falling. He was a tan male with blue eyes, ginger hair, glasses, blue jeans, a plain blue shirt, and a dark blue sweatshirt. He was also screaming his lungs out like a little girl.
As he plummeted towards the ground below he tried to look for anything to soften his landing.
As he was scanning the area for a place to land he thought to himself, 'tree, tree, tree, tree, river, tree, tree,...'
'A river!!' he shouted in his mind, 'I hope that I can make it.'
He leaned his body so that he would fall towards the river. The ground was coming up fast and he didn't want to know how it felt traveling at terminal velocity.
He was close to enough to the river to see how deep it was. Joy was slowly filling Johnathan up when he thought that he was going to make it. And you can imagine his joy when he hit the tree next to the river.
'I officially hate trees' Johnathan thought angrily, yet slightly defeated to himself.
As he started to fall he flailed his arms around to try to catch himself on a branch of anything to help stop his decent. He found a branch to grab onto near the bottom of the tree, however when he grabbed onto it with his left hand, all it did was snap and bought him half a second, maybe. As he fell the last 15 feet towards the ground he thought,'I hate you too tree.' When he hit the ground he was knocked unconscious.


2 hours later


Johnathan's eyes started to flutter open after the fall he had suffered.
He looked up and saw that the sun was a bit lower in the sky from when he was falling from it earlier. Groaning, Johnathan sat up and looked at his surroundings.
He was near the edge of a forest, about 20 yards away from the edge of the river he was aiming for, the trees were large, and everything seemed to be peaceful.
He was taking in the beauty of the forest. Forgetting what happened two hours ago he tried to sit up. When he moved he remembered three things: first, he fell from the sky, second he was in pain, and third HE WAS IN PAIN.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest when he tried to sit up. He winced and stopped moving immediately. He looked down at his chest to see what was wrong.
He didn't see anything out of the ordinary with his chest. He then lifted his hand and felt if there was anything wrong or out of place in his chest. Boy, was that a bad idea. The second his hand made contact with his chest it felt like someone had stabbed him with a machete in his chest and just left it there.
He immediately retracted his hand from where he had touched his chest.
He sarcastically thought to himself,'Great, this is just perfect. Let's recap, shall we? I fell from the sky, missed the river, broke a rib (possibly two), I don't know where I am, and I'm hungry.'
Johnathan thought to himself for a little bit about whether or not he should stand up. Standing up won out and after what seemed like hours grueling pain, which was only ten minutes, he was finally at his full height. He was still using the tree for support however. After about an hour of trying to use his legs he was finally able to endure the pain of walking without falling down.
Johnathan's main goal after being able to walk again was to get out of the forest he was in. His next goal was to find anybody that could help him find out where he was and any way to that he could get home.
Things were looking up for Johnathan and he was almost happy. However if Johnathan knew anything about his life he knew that the happy times were soon squashed by more drastic hard times.
Johnathan was making a plan in his head on what he should do when he got to a town, when he heard the snap of a twig behind him. Johnathan quickly dove into a bush that was next to where he was. Because if trees were out to get him what would the wildlife do to him.
After getting settled into his improvised hiding spot he tried to get a look at whatever startled him as quietly as he could. Once he got a look at what it was, he had to rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
The... creature that was in front of him had no pupils, no whites of its eyes, no nothing it was as if its eyes were just a blue iris.It also had two wings with holes in them, a horn, four legs that also had holes in them, sharp white teeth, its body was completely black,and it was 3 ft. 6 in. tall.
At first glance the creature didn't look too threatening. Then about 30 more showed up by its side. That is what made it look threatening.
The creatures started to chatter about something. But Johnathan couldn't understand any of it. It was just a bunch of hissing and growling to him. Yet it seemed formal. It looked like, to Johnathan, that they were going over a plan of some sorts. Like a commander would to his soldiers.
Johnathan then thought that it would be wise to slowly and silently sneak away. Johnathan thought to himself as he snuck away,' They looked like they had a plan that they didn't want anybody else to hear, and I'm not one to object to that. I'll just keep my nose out of places that it shouldn-'


*Snap*


All heads immediately turned towards Johnathan as Johnathan himself looked down. What was laying under his right foot? It was a twig. A twig! Or in other words, a piece of a tree.
'Great,' Johnathan groaned in thoughts,'now all of the trees are conspiring against me.'
Johnathan then turned his head to see if any of the small creatures had heard the twig snap.
They were all looking at him.
Alarms were going off in Johnathan's head as both species stared at each. The alarms were screaming,"Now would be a good time to panic."
Johnathan couldn't move he was scared beyond all reason. So he did the only thing he thought wouldn't get him in trouble.
He waved his hand once and smiled sheepishly while he said,"Hi."
A loud hiss was heard from one of the creatures. This was Johnathan's cue to book it in the opposite direction. 
Johnathan ran towards the way out of the forest to try to get away from the hostile forest creatures. The only obstacle in his way the river.
Johnathan ran as fast as he could and jumped once he hit the river bank. As he sailed through the air he was thinking that if he got across the river then he would be safe from the creatures in the forest.
As he landed on the other side of the river of the 3 ft. wide river he looked back to see if the creatures were still following him. Only to see them flying towards him.
His pupils shrunk as he quietly whimpered,"mommy."
