Torn Apart
Previously on Living Life in Fear…
Bang, the light was gone and I hit the floor, hearing the words ‘careful what you wish for’ “Ah, my head what the hell…” I checked my surroundings “Grass, Trees, Bushes.” I Hyperventilate. “WHERE THE HELL AM I”…
'Fire, Fire, Fire everywhere,' I wake. I check my surroundings. "Cauldron, wood, bottles" I spoke to myself, heart racing I notice the cage I'm in and that the fire was gone…
Now Continuing…
Locator beeps waking me up
Forest, 2017 Cave. 3:44 pm
Waking now on dry dirt and the smell of rock, I slowly get up rubbing my eyes oblivious to anything around me.
“Hey what’s going on?” I said still half asleep getting to my feet and opening my eyes
Big bodies slept around me like cubs to their mother, they’re asleep, snoring and emitting a green hue from their bodies like a machine but these things, these creatures were alive breathing, moving, snoring, and sleeping like an animal.
One got up and looked to me, fear hit me when I saw the green orbs so I didn’t move but the thing made its way to the light emanating from a large open cave wall, peering out like a scout of a pack would, it steps out revealing what it looked like, a massive wolf but nothing like I’ve ever seen before in my life it had wooden limbs and leaves and bark that were like fir, a body of timber, and I was alive breathing like it was nothing, as if it’s the most normal thing. I felt like screaming, crying, mentally shitting my pants, I could barely breathe it noticed this and came back inside the light grew closer the eyes locked on me and came up and sat next me I froze life flashing before me but it didn’t attack me it just sat there staring at me like I was supposed to do something.
“Oh boy, easy now, what is it you w-want-t?” My hands shook, it whined like a dog that wanted your food, so I did something. I reached over to pet it hoping that it won’t kill me, it didn’t move my hand touching its back stroking the hard lumber that was its back, my hand crawling across its bark and it didn’t attack me so I continued then my stomach growled, the wolf thing barked waking the rest, they all looked at me staring with those menacing eyes expecting me to do something I didn’t know what to do. I look around each one staring at me, so I move towards the entrance walking slowly and carefully, the smaller of the wolves followed me the same one that I was petting only seconds before
“Ok I think I know what you want, food right? S-so let’s find food ok.” I whimpered their ears perked up like they knew what I said, the rush beside me I almost screamed but again they didn’t attack me I walk out the cave finally breathing, now realizing I’ve held my breath the threw out the whole experience.
1 hour, 34 minutes.
‘The wolves have eaten several animals including a bear, and while they were busy I was still trying to get away but after 5 times tried and failed I gave up it’s not like they are trying to kill me anyway they just force me to stay around them like a guardian but against my will, yet I doubt that they care..’ The though rang, pouring salt into my metaphorical wounds, life now was no longer straightforward and obvious back home you had to watch yourself or else and you knew that and you knew something was bad and going to happen unlike here, everything just doesn’t make sense. Like a God of chaos just decided that today was the day pink rainclouds that rain chocolate milk just existed, or talking zebra that mastered Witchcraft and Doctor Sues or magic wolf wood that can kill a bear like a kid frying ants with a magnifying glass. ‘If I’m stuck here then this is what I’ll be living till I die in 83 years…’
‘Maybe it’s not so bad maybe horses talk too, and unicorns that shit rainbows...’ Stepping back to reality one of the wolves dropped a huge piece of bear meat right in front of me like a hot pocket, and I just looked at it, ripped right off from the bear torn muscle and oozing blood damn near gagging at it, gargle, but on second thought I grabbed it and never did I think this would taste so good, I ate that 10 pound raw bear like it was my destiny to rip it apart in my mouth and swallow with content and delight although the first taste was awful like eating old open cream corn mixed with uncooked stake, I almost threw up but I didn’t both out of fear and hunger one of which I knew about.
But I did finish the stake and no longer hungry both out of disgust and shame for eating a bear, but hey who can say that they were in a pack of wooden wolfs, took down a bear, ate the bear and not feel a little badass well me for the first 10 minute aftermath then I started to feel better for tearing apart the flesh of a bear and enjoying it.
1 hour later. Locator beeped
Forest, 2017, Edge, 6:04 pm.
My heart skipped a beat; I could see it, the edge of the forest right there
‘I have a chance to leave I can’t pass this up.’ The thought made my blood rush and adrenaline pump I could feel it, freedom just mere meters from being mine and I had to take it even so the wolfs had left me, so I ran feeling the trees tare remaining clothing and bushes and branches tare into my feet I leap. Feeling the trees just leaving behind me the pull and fear of the forest follow like a dream come true but like a nightmare something snags me dragging me back in like a parent taking their child to school just school being a forest filled with magic that would make even the bravest shit their pants.
Anxiety Rushed in, ‘is it the wolves? The zebra? The bear coming back to life to eat my ass?’ I couldn’t tell I just felt teeth dragging me into the back into the forest, neverfree. I can’t take the forest I fight back only to see a dragon dragging me back into the forest blood drained making me pale as can be feeling the teeth of the big winged lizard content in its eyes like it was his life was for; wings spread blocking out the sun. He was red and black like blood stains on charcoal, but it looked aged it took off taking me with it, I froze like ice stone cold the forest shrank as I was dragged through the sky. Its wings rang wind air thinning barley breathing, whoosh… whoosh… whoosh… That sound rang over and over, dizziness taking me breathing slowed blackness surround my eyes…

Chanter lot Castle, 2017, Back Gate, 9:34 pm.
‘…How can I explain what is happening, life was simple, dark and quiet never surprising, nothing different. Why I of all people did this happen too, life took everything else away now it took away home, everything gone. I have nothing left for me nothing waiting for me when I get home, nothing that I know and love is here and I can’t explain it, life just chose me and took it all away to give me this…’ I wake, tired and lightheaded the dragon's gone and I left at a small gate waiting for my fate to take its course.
“Another one...”…
TO BE CONTINUED…
