I opened my eyes to find myself in a forest.
But this wasn’t any ordinary forest oh no this one had a tense atmosphere that made it impossible to think straight.
I looked around a bit more to see if I could identify the forest.
But I couldn’t seem to know this forest at all.
The trees touched the light blue sky so perfectly it was like it was meant to be.
I stood up but I felt un easy then suddenly I heard a branch crack I turned round,
“ Who’s there?” I asked but there was no reply.
I pivoted around a bit longer to see if I could see a person or an animal.
But nothing could be found.
I began to stroll around a bit more.
I inhaled as much natural oxygen as I could.
Again I heard a branch crack but then the person was identified
“ W-who are you?” I stammered
“ You don’t need to know all you need to know is that you shouldn’t be here,” she warned
I starred at the woman for a long time and all I knew was that she was tall and heavy armed with a bow and arrow,
“ I don’t want to cause trouble I just want to know how I got here,” I said
“ Come here,” she invited
“ No!” I shouted I looked at her and within one second I saw her arrow coming towards me. I couldn’t move to literally to save my life.
I felt the arrow pierce my skin, I felt the blood flow out of me and all the woman was doing was smiling at me.
“ Ouch!” I screamed in agony
“ Hold on!” called a matured voice.
Then I felt my whole body being held like a baby and all I could see was trees coming towards me at fast speeds.
I woke up to one face looking at me in a shocked way
“ Are you okay?” he asked
“ I’m okay just a little tired,” I said honestly
“ I’m John,” he smiled
“ Lucy,” I grinned
“ Nice name, look my mother will look after you but be careful my mother worries very easily,” John advised me.
After a while his mother came in to see me.
Her outfit looked like it was picked by a blind person. She was wearing yellow shoes, light and dark green striped tights and a bright pink dress.
Her hair was grey and pulled into a messy bun.
Her face was wrinkly and covered in makeup.
“ Hello,” she smiled
“ Hi,” I greeted
“ How are you feeling?” she asked
“ Better,” I assured her
“ John is a good man he is good I told you he is good!” she shouted
“ I know he is good he was the one who helped me,” I told her
“ He is nice like that,” she said
“ Oh did I tell you that John is good?” she asked
“ Yes you just told me,” I smiled
I looked at her confused expression and I just smiled
“ Where am I ?” I asked
“ Well we live in Volcano forest and you came stumbling in drunk and we left you there until today,” she explained
“ What is your name?” I asked
“ Mary Smith,” she told me
“ I’m..,”
“ Lucy,” she interrupted.
After a while John came back.
“ And how are we?” He asked
“ Much happier that you are here, I didn’t know you were Irish,” I noticed
“ Ay, how come you only realized now?” he asked
“ Because I was dithery before, when am I going home?” I asked
“ Your not going home yet.” John said sharply
“ John what am I going to do?” I asked
“ Stay here my love,” he smiled
“ My love?” I questioned
“ Yes I love well I don’t but I have to love you to make you safe,” he explained.
I stared at him and he had dark red hair that looked like it could set alight at any minuet and he had a long side fringe that was longer than his whole hairstyle, his eyes were dark green and seductive, his face was very mature looking like he had already finished puberty and was a man, his height was normal but defiantly taller than me, his nose was thin and pointy but not like a witch.
“ Lucy you will be able to go home soon,” he said his voice was so calming the atmosphere always was smoothed when he spoke or entered a room
“ I don’t mind staying here really,” I said openly.
I knew by being here with him I began to like, I began to feel like I love John his Irish accent was most beautiful to me
“ Well lets go to the lake just me and you,” he smiled his eyes were looking very welcoming and happy to see me
“ I would love to go lets go now,” I insisted I didn’t want to waist one minute without John.
Once at the lake the moonlight was reflected in the lake making the atmosphere much more romantic then it would be.
We sat at the edge of the lake starring into each others eyes
“ Lucy,” John said
“ Yes?” I answered
“ I actually love you,” he grinned.
John began to draw lines on my arms with his fingertips.
The warm breeze drifted onto our bodies making us both shiver slightly
“ John I love you,” I flirted while twirling my long black hair
“ I never thought I would love you like this quickly,” he noted I heard a slight shame in his tone as he spoke
“ I know,” I agreed
“ Lucy, do you want to have a swim?” he asked then he winked at me
“ I will swim if you want me to swim.” I smiled lost in the romantic moment.
Once we were both in the water I noticed that John took his top off revealing his beautiful sculpted six pack.
“ Shall I take my top off too?” I asked not really wanting to take my top off but I would do anything to spend more time with him.
“ Yes do,” he agreed with me.
Once I was just in my bra me and John swam off holding hands .
I stared at John for a long moment trying to read his expression and he was very happy.
I began to think about how I got here because I don’t think I stumbled into the forest that I never knew existed.
“ I want to kiss you,” John said I stared at him for a long overwhelming moment until I began to patiently kiss him.
There was something in me that wanted to know more about where I am
“ John,” I said instantly interfering with him kissing my neck
“ What?” he asked shifting his head to the left to get his side fringe out of his face
“ This forest and everything that is happening is it all true?” I asked
“ Yes it is all true to only you, I am just words,” he said sadly I was confused with what he said about him being words
“ What do you mean your just words?” I asked intensively
“ You will find out in a minute lets make the most of now this chapter will soon be at an end,” he huffed.
We began to kiss and hug.
I began to stroke his chest and he held my waist in a safe grip.
I began to hear a large stick banging against something like to get someone’s attention or something
“ Can you hear that?” I asked
“ Sadly I can,” he cried
“ What does it mean?” I asked
“ It means that it is goodbye,” he said
“ But I love you,” I said
“ I love you too but it is not your choice,” he told me.
Somewhere in his eyes their was truth in what he was saying.
The stick banging became more loud a easier to hear.
I noticed that John was fading away
“ John!” I screamed
“ I love you Lucy.” he said quickly then he disappeared with everything and I was left.
After a while I could hear my mother telling me to wake up.
I opened my eyes and I was in the living room in my house and my mom was right in front of me
“ Gosh you sleep like a rock,” she chuckled
“ Where is John?” I asked
“Who’s John?” she asked
“ John Smith,” I told her
“ I think you was having a dream my sweet pea,” she smiled
“ Mom I am not lying is their such a place as volcano forest?” I asked
“ Yes there is such a place but no one goes their at all,” she explained
“ Mom where is volcano forest?” I asked
“ Oh well,” my mother began “ it is on the south side,” she told me
“ Can I go their ?” I asked
“ Yes you can but be back tomorrow at least,” she bargained
“ Deal,” I agreed.
I got into my 4by4 and drove off.
I turned to the left then to the right looking for some directions to the volcano forest.
I stopped off to get some petrol.
I stood feeding my car energy and thinking about John and if he was real or fake.
Once I was in the south part I saw signs to lead me to the forest.
I stopped my car at the forest that I remembered .
I ran into the jungle like place in search for that one someone.
“ John!” I shouted.
I kept calling for him but no one came.
I sat down crying my eyes out.
The pain I felt inside was worse than the arrow that came into me.
that’s it the arrow I might have a scar.
I lifted my white t-shirt up and there was a mark where the arrow had been.
“ You shouldn’t be here,” said a woman’s voice
Then the woman showed herself and it was the woman who tried to kill me
“ Lucy you return,” she said
“ Where is John?” I asked I was desperate to know
“ He is swimming in the lake,” she said
“ Thanks,” I said I ran off to the romantic place where John stole a kiss form me.
I finally got to the lake and John was nowhere to be seen at all.
I put my right hand on my forehead to block the sunlight so I could be able to spot him clearer and I did.
He was sitting on the tall rock playing guitar.
I stared at him with happiness that he was a real person and not fake
“ John!” I called
“ Lucy!” she shouted relieved.
Me and John held hands and walked around through the forest
“ You confused me before,” I suddenly said
“ How?” he asked actually curious
“ You was on about chapters and book est.” I noted
“ Shush,” he shushed me then he kissed me so gently I didn’t even know he done it.
When I am with John I felt happy and safe
“ I love you,” I smiled
“ I love you too,” he agreed smiling at me
“ This story will end badly when it finish it,” he mumbled
“ Huh?” I asked
“ Nothing,” he lied.
“ John your not making any sense,” I huffed with frustration
“ Lucy, give me your address and I will write to you,” he said ignoring what I huffed about,
“ Okay I live at one-three-two baileys road,” I said
“ I’ll write to you,” he smiled
“ What, cant I see you?” I asked
“ Not as much as I would like no,” said plainly.
John pulled me towards him so that not even air could go in between us.
He cuddled me like I would never see him again
“ Goodbye Lucy,” he cried
“ No I want to stay with you come to my house,” I begged
“ How can I come to yours I am already there,” he chuckled
“ What?” I questioned
“ You have met me before I remember it, it was last summer you and your mom came to see me and my family and we were in love then, and suddenly you dream about me and now your dreams are coming true,” he explained
“ Oh,” I thought
“ I think I will come to yours now,” he chuckled all I done was clench my teeth with utter frustration.
As I opened the door to go into my home my mother was already in the hallways shaking her boots off
“ Mom,” I said embarrassed I felt my checks burn up and I swear I could hear them sizzling
“ Sweetie oh my God John,” my mother said overwhelmed
“ Hello Miss Tenant,” he greeted politely
“ Mom John will be staying here for a while is that okay?” I asked
“ Of course it is okay,” she smiled.
Me and John went out the garden, once there it began to rain but we didn’t care
“ I love you Lucy,” he smiled
“ I Love you too John,” I said.
We began to jump into the puddles and slide on the slippery green grass
“ I haven’t been this happy since last summer,” he grinned
“ Shall we go inside now?” I asked
“ Nope,” he laughed he grabbed my hand and yanked me towards him.
I crashed onto his chest and he fell over so I was on top of him.
We both laughed so I began to passionately kiss him.
The rain was pattering on my body but I didn’t care as long as I was with him.
Once inside and dry we both went into my room
“ Your room is nice,” he teased
“ Yes it maybe a little childish but I like it so there,” I said then I stuck my tongue at him to make my words clear,
“ Why are you sticking your tongue at me for I like your room too,” he smiled.
There was something about John that I couldn’t put my finger too but whatever is was I liked it.
“ Lucy I have a friend who I would like you to see,” he suddenly said with enthusiasm
“ Who is it?” I asked
“ His name is Luke and he is quite an alcoholic character, but don’t worry when he is drunk he is stupid and funny,” he said chuckling to himself
“ Okay lets go see him,” I agreed
“ Okay,” he smiled.
Once were in my 4by4 we drove down the road.
The road was long and bumpy as we made a halt to Luke’s house.
His house was a little bungalow and is was cream coloured, the grass in the front was overgrown and had beer bottles all over it.
We came to the red door and lifted the mailbox to make a signal that someone was their.
We waited a long moment suddenly someone to answer.
Then the door finally opened
“ John!” he shouted with enthusiasm
“ He is drunk,” John whispered to me I laughed slightly as a response
“ I am going to leave you with him he will help you,” John suddenly said then John ran off before I could say otherwise.
As I sat down in Luke’s living room I began to feel utter confused.
After Luke came in with two cups of tea I wanted some answers,
“ Luke I am confused tell me what is going on,” I ordered but not with a loud voice
“ Your name isn’t Lucy Tenant it is Bonnie Price you are trapped in this book and the only way to finish it is to go to the goblet ,” he explained
“ The goblet?” I asked
“ The goblet is a place where you can get information about how you got into the book because right now you have been lost for two weeks,” he told me
“ What?” I gasped
“ I am telling the truth look let me take you to the garden then it will all make sense.” he said.
We went into his deserted garden and there was a large, tall, golden goblet in the middle of the garden.
“ Look in the goblet and you will see what will help you he explained.
I walked over the goblet feeling nervous and weak.
Each step I took felt like a mile.
I finally got to the goblet and I looked through and I saw myself sitting in my bedroom reading a thick book and I noticed on the front of the book it had a picture of John playing the guitar.
I stared at myself as I saw I picked up my mobile to phone someone.
“ Hey,” I said
“ this book is so romantic,”
“ I hope I get trapped into this beautiful book,”
“ I am deeply in love with John,” .
Once the I saw that I put my phone down and then I stopped looking and stared at Luke.
