04

I reach the hut and put the previous dress down , it is almost night time.

The inside of the hut is densely lit.

The old lady stops me as I enter.

" Who are you dear?,I think you are lost-" she says .

...

...

"Oh my, it's me the hungry girl you allowed to stay for few days!" I says this while grabbing her shoulders.(hungry girl, what a name I gave myself)

"Ooh, right!" After examining me from head to toe 2 times, she says this.

"But how did you change from a bagge- I mean from a commoner to royalty?" She says astonished.

" what are you saying!!" I say while laughing.

"What were you doing? " I say while grabbing some bedsheet.

" oh this, I was arranging your sleeping place. I am sorry dear but we don't have any beds so you have to adjust on the floor" she says this with a hint of sadness while still examining me.

" oh my it's alright I can manage! I am strong!" I say this while making a cringy bodybuilder pose.

"Haha....hahahahaha"

The old lady laughs loudly.

"Oh dear, it's time to sleep now so just sleep or I will have a stomach ache from laughing" she says while still laughing a bit.

Next morning at like 4am,

"Uughhh....." my whole body aches a bit" I want some morning air" I say as I fold my bedsheet and get up.

The old lady is still sleeping so I tip toe carefully not to make a sound when I accidentally step on old lady's bed sheet * crack *I feel something and feel like i broke it so I bend over and slightly pick the bedsheet up 'sorry for peeking' I think to say. When I pick it up a diamond earring is there 'wow so beautiful' it's the first time seeing a diamond earring and I broke a piece of it, lol and then my eyes go on some red mark that lay on the ground   I touch it but it is already kind of cleaned ,I guess and only stain is there and when I looked closely, the earring had small red stains too. Is this bloo- no! It can't be, haha there is no way.........right?!.

I stand up immediately wanting to clear my head I carefully open the door and get out and close it carefully.

"Wow" I get mesmerised as I see the whole place covered with fog, it makes my heart warm.

I breathe in the fresh air, now this is something. I should have made a habit of waking up early it's so nice to wake up early. Was it actually..................I think.

Uugh shut up stupid brain.

I decide to walk, i go to the anterior forest which was in opposite direction from where i came from .

After walking for sometime.

*tap* my foot seemed to touch something I bend over to see what it is and to my surprize...........i-it -i-i-s the other earring the same as I found under the old lady's pillow!and it also has blood stain on it!

My heart is suddenly surrounded with little horror.

I was just thinking thing when my eyes fell on some densely seen red stains.

*ba-dump, ba- dum* my heart starts to pound fastly as i curiously  follow the marks. A really bad smell starts to come as I follow it , soon it becomes so bad that it smells like rotten meat.

My heart is thumping so loudly that it can almost come out.

A well comes in sight ,but when I go closer the well was dry and...........there was a body in it who already had maggots over it.

Horror hoover's over me as I just get out of there and move forward' I am not going to go to that house again! Never' I say to myself as I run, just straight.

Tear starts to form as I run I cry without making a sound.

I take a break under a tree and after a while I start to move forward ,again.

After walking and walking and walking and drinking some water wherever I can find a river or pond, I finally hear bustling voices and the forest comes to an end.

"Yahuuuuu,I made it" I jump excitedly.

As I see a market bustling with people.
