Not An Ordinary Walk In The Woods

Girl’s parents sent her with her friend Boy to a small town where they could get out of their houses for a little while. It was almost like a vacation. It was something most teenagers would die for. A month or two alone without any parents telling them what to do. Girl wasn’t at all excited. The only thing she was happy about was that she would be going with her friend Boy. At least life would prove to be a little less boring with him around. Boy isn’t happy about going either. He rather stay at home or stay at Girl’s place. What could the two of them possibly do in a small town surrounded by woods..? Explore? No that was something neither were really into. Once at the village they got settled into the small house that they would be sharing. At first things start out okay, but after a few days the two are very bored and are starving for something interesting to do. At first they try to go around town and talk with some other teenagers their age, but the kids aren’t interested in them. The adults simply warn them to stay out of the woods and other than the warning they have nothing else to say. To Boy and Girl this is very annoying. They practically can’t do anything.

Finally on a night that the boredom gets the best of them they decide to go and check the woods out. At around midnight when everyone is sleeping the two sneak to one of the paths that lead into the woods and start traveling down it. They figure they’ll get to the other side and then be out of there in no time. No one will even notice them being gone. The path is long and the woods is filled with tons of trees. Slowly the trees seem to slowly thin out as the two approach what they think is a clearing. Turns out that it isn’t a clearing, but it’s an old village. The homes are in disarray and disrepair. Whoever had lived here had probably done so long ago. Upon entering this small village and exploring it they find two large house like structures. The first one turns out to actually be a library why the other one is a house. The library is filled with books that are very old, but have been kept in good condition. With no intention of reading anything the two head over to look at the house. The house looks like one that high up people would own. Surely whoever lived here had a lot of money. As they looked around they seemed to notice that the place just didn’t seem broken down. It was like this place was never touched.

In an upstairs bedroom the two found a closet filled with heart shape bottles. Most of the bottles were empty… Actually all of the bottles were empty but two. One bottle had a pink like liquid in it why the other bottle had a blue liquid in it. The only thing they could read on the bottles was ‘Warning’ which was written in bold, but it was also fading. They left the bottles where they were and decided to go check the last area. It was the basement. As they started down the steps they couldn’t help but feel like they were being watched by something. This didn’t stop them from going all the way down to the bottom. Once down there they found that the area really wasn’t that big. As they were getting ready to leave the saw a door. The door had a padlock on it, but it was very badly rusted. The two were able to pull it off together. Once the padlock was off the two headed into the room. The room was small. It had a small stone table sitting to the right side of the room. The table is covered in odd symbols that neither have seen before. On top of the table is a winged black wolf. It seems to be sleeping.

Suddenly the door slams shut, but the wolf remains asleep. A mysterious voice fills the air and it seems to be coming from the wolf even though he was sleeping.

The voice stopped and the two looked around to see where the voice was coming from. Assuming it was the wolf since it was the only thing around they let their eyes rest on it. For a long time neither seemed to know what to say. They didn’t trust the wolf. It had locked them in this room with it and it wasn’t going to let them out. Plus no one had ever mentioned that the forest was haunted. Plus there was no other thing around but this wolf. So it was impossible for there to be a witch.

The voices stopped again and left the two to think about it. Since there was no one else here to go against what the wolf said they decided that they would help him. The wolf allowed the boy to leave the room and go get the potion. The boy quickly made his way upstairs and to the closet. He found the pink potion that hadn’t yet been used and picked it up. He also grabbed the blue one just in case. He walked towards the door and then froze when he felt a cool breeze that didn’t seem like it belonged. He turned around, but there was no one around. He again started out the door and that’s when he heard a voice.

The voice was female and it sounded frantic… Boy didn’t think twice. He ran from the room. He knew it must have been the witch. Quickly he took the potion to the basement. Before he could get to the door though something knocked him down and sat on top of him. He dropped the potion and it slid towards the door. The wolf let the girl out of the room to grab the potion. Once she had it she gave it to the wolf and he awoke. Laughter filled the room and the door slammed shut locking the girl inside with the wolf. Quickly the wolf leaped off the table and changed to a human form. He grabbed girl up and opened a portal and went through it. He took girl to an alternate world. Once in his home he set her down on the floor.

The girl quickly became terrified. As she stayed with the demon she learned some things about him. He had two different personalities. The angelic mean one was Jay. This was the one that was forcing her to be his wife. Jayce was a demon and he was nice and friendly. Girl showed no emotion to Jay, but she was nice to Jayce. She was trying to figure a way out, but it just seemed impossible. According to Jayce there were only two ways out. Either to be taken out by Jay or to build a portal to get out. Jayce didn’t know how to make the portal, but he told her that he would try to figure it out

Boy is stuck with the witch which he now realizes isn’t at all bad. Her name is Kasha. She is indeed a witch and she had put the whole village asleep a long time ago, but it was only because they kept defending Jay. She had planned to wake them all back up, but Jay had killed them all. By the time she had put Jay to sleep she was the only one left alive. She also explained that she wasn’t Jay’s wife. He always used that as a pity me trick. She was his sister. She also knew how to make the portal to get to Jay’s world, but it would take a while. She was more than happy to help, but Boy would have to stay and help her. Things seem to be going alright, but Boy can’t help but feel a little attracted to the odd woman that he’s helping.

Bravery even in front of Jay was useless. It would have been different if she was talking to Jay's other half, but that side of him was sleeping right now and he was thankful for that. Tilting his head slightly he watched her for a moment. "I don't plan on letting you go. You are going to stay here with me." Was his cold response. He had been awoken and no one was going to ever escape the woods and now he would have a beautiful wife.

"Well it'll take several days for me to get a portal open to his world..." Kasha sighed softly. She leaned back on her heels and seemed to be thinking. She was going to go and get the girl back, but only because she wanted to put her brother back to sleep. The forest wasn't safe unless he was sleeping. How could these people be like this. She couldn't believe that they had woke him up. Sighing she turned and left the basement. She was going to have to start making more of the sleeping potion.

Laughter suddenly filled the air as he laughed at her pleading. "Oh you aren't getting a choice my dear..." Jay tilted his head slightly and watched her his eyes showing a cold hatred. "You aren't going back and you will be marrying me. Even if you have someone... You no longer do." He stated angrily. He wasn't going to allow her to leave. Even though she had a boyfriend she no longer did in his eyes.

The fox girl frowned faintly. "I don't know if I want your help... You may screw something else up." She snapped angrily. She turned and headed towards the stairs. "I can't believe you two idiots let him out. It's going to take forever to get anything done. It took almost a hundred years to get him to sleep the first time." She had never been more angry in her life. She started to her bedroom where she kept everything she needed to make the sleeping potions and the antidotes. She was going to have to make some of those and she would also have to make the portal which would take awhile since she would have to get the items for that.

Angrily Kasha began her work. The potions were easy for her to do and she had several done within an hour. She sat them out and then headed out into the woods so that she could gather the materials needed to open a portal. This was going to take a long time and really she didn't even want to do it.

The demon side of Jay woke and immediately his personality to change. The angry angel was replaced by the calm demon. Jayce looked around curiously. He didn't know how they had gotten back here. This meant that Jay was awake. It was the only way he could get awake. Sighing softly he gave a slight shrug. So Kasha must be pissed. He couldn't sense her here so that must have meant that she was working on opening a portal to here. Soon he would be back alseep and things would be at peace again.

When Kasha returned she didn't come alone. Someone was following her. She walked passed the boy because she had nothing to say to him. There was no point in talking. She was angry with him for bringing back her brother who had then fled. It was going to take months to get this ritual done. Part of her hoped that by the time she did get it done that the girl that the man stole was dead. She gave a slight shake of her head and then walked up to her bedroom. She tore the place up throwing things out of her way until the room was mostly cleaned. She sat down on the floor and began drawling several odd symbols in black chalk. She worked quickly and quietly not at all speaking not even to the man that she had brought with her. After a moment she turned to the man and tilted her head slightly. "Try using your ability to call my brother please. Maybe you can talk him into coming back." She stated.

Laughter came from the dark haired male. "Do you think he will really want to speak to me?" He asked curiously. "The angel part... Jay... Is hateful and cold. He dislikes me." He titled his head slightly. "However if I can get a hold of Jayce his demon aspect... I might..." He sighed softly. He lifted his hand up into the air and summoned a magic ball and then stretched it out until it was about the size of a computer monitor. He said a few words in what sounded like a different language and then a man's face appeared on the screen, but it was not the angel. Instead it was the demon Jayce. The one that did listen to the dark headed male. "Hello Jayce." He greeted warmly almost intimately. He tilted his head off to the side. "So I am sure you know why I have contacted you." He stated.

Jayce did not hear the girl. Instead he opened up a ball of light that had came towards him and looked at the dark haired man in the monitor like screen. "Hello back Alaire. I haven't heard from you in a long time. Not since you were taken away from the woods and banned. I miss you." He tilted his head slightly and listened as the other spoke. He soon noticed his sister in the back ground. "Ah Kasha. Its good to see you too." He soon looked back to the one he called Alaire. "Surely you know that I cannot give you what you are seeking. I know not how to summon the portal." He stated.

Quickly Kasha turned to her fox like form. "Wait here and I'll be back." She told Alaire. She leaped out her window landing in front of the beast. She snarled lightly all of her tails lashing back and forth. She appeared to be angry. She lowered her head down and bared her fangs at him. She didn't want to deal with him. She was already angry that she had to bring her brother back here. She didn't want to save the girl.

Alaire took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Well this call was simply a bad idea then." He stated. He leaned back slightly watching the demon as he thought over what he should say next. "Kasha is very impatient. She wants nothing more than to be done with this girl and boy." He said.

Jayce sighed softly. "I know Alaire." He stated. He sighed softly and leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. "Believe me... If I knew how to summon the portal for you guys to get here I would... If I could just send the girl back I would." He stated truthfully. He couldn't do any of that though. "The girl is stuck here until Kasha can get her out though." He stated.
