Behind The Eyes


Chapter 3


"Do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do." A sweet, yet mystical voice sang and cold be heard throughout the vast and wide forest. A girl with beautiful auburn hair walked across the soft ground, her soft brown eyes remembering every detail so she could find her way home. She walked to the edge of the forest into a field with yellow dandlions, sunflowers and other attractive flowers. The girl(who looked about 17 or 18 to a human) much enjoyed picking flowers. As she picked the flowers and layed them in her basket, she thought about all that had happened in her life.

Her name was Emily, princess of the Kingdom of Mansfield. to the humans(where this would be for them) was part of somewhere called "Maine." Emily did not bother with the world of the humans. She heard of her concils and peasents going into the towns of the human to buy food and such; but she was told to stay in this relam, so she couldn't go if she wanted.

Her mother had died when she was only a child, and her father had others in the kingdom raise her. In the recent years, Emily yearned for excitement, danger and most importanly. . . . .

True Love!

Her suitor, was hand-picked by her father, was a very kind man, very sweet, but very dull and boring. The suitor, Prince Calvin, spent most of his day reading or sleeping, which wasn't what Emily wanted to do.

While Emily's mind wandered, a creature peered up a feet behind her. It's dark eyes staring at the young girl, hatching a plan. The creature was hungry. And had just found it's dinner.

Something inside Emily warned her of danger, REAL danger. As Emily slowly stood up, she knew the evil near her was about to attack. There was no way out. The creature started to creep closer. . . .and closer. . . .and closer. . .and. . ..

Emily heard a helpless "yelp" as she realized the creature was not gonna attack her. She spun around to see a snow white wolf on top of a black wolf-snake creature. Horrified, Emily could not move a muscle. She could not watch, and yet she couldn't take her eyes off the grueling fight.

The evil creature snapped at the neck of the white wolf, but missed by an inch. The white wolf began to turn into a white eagle, and flew up into the sky. The eagle glided around the sky for about a second and then down toward the evil creature, claws open and ready to snatch the it by the head.

And that the eagle did. As the creature stuggled unsuccessfully to wiggle out of the eagle's grasp, Emily ran from field into the forest in total confusion without looking back the scene in the field. Jumping over logs and such until a pair of rough, strong hands stopped her. Looking up, Emily saw a man with dark hair and green eyes, and not much taller then herself. Before she could scream, he slowly said "Don't scream, I am here to help. Come with me." Emily had no choice, so she followed the stranger as he lead her into a patch of very tall grass where anyone could easily become lost.

The snow white eagle flew to the ground slowly after disposing of the creature. The eagle slowly turned into a blonde-haired women. Destiny swallowed and walked toward the forest to look for the girl whom she had rescused. Her eyes grew heavy, but she yawned and moved on. About five minutes into the forest, her side began to hurt and she looked down where the pain was. A large bloody gash ran down her dress and leg. She put her hand on the gash to try to hold in the blood, but soon felt weak.The shape-shifter knelt down in pain, tears streamed down her cheek. Destiny soon felt darkness overcome her as she left the conscious world.
