“What do you mean?” I ask. He growls yet again and I start backing off, nervous that he’ll attack. He steps closer and my instinct makes me take a step back. “I am the guardian of the forbidden forest’s entrance” he said, “My name is Sebastian and I will not let you pass.” I start freaking out and without warning he takes a ginormous leap and pins me to the ground. As I try to struggle free from his grasp, he howled so loud that I swear he shook the forest, “Stop squirming, you’re making this harder than it should be!!”. Shaking I stop, I can’t help but notice that he is wounded. “ You have a thorn in your paw” I say weakly, I notice that Sebastian’s expression changes to think of how thoughtful that was. I know he wants to let me go but, as I try to speak again he tightens his grip. I struggle for air and scream as his claws meet my flesh. I scream again and instinct takes over as I try to kick his underbelly. After a few tries I finally manage to fling him off, pinning him to the ground as he did to me before. He screeches as I grab my wooden dagger and push it into his hind leg. As I regain control, I stumble back and start shaking my head, and notice that he is even more wounded than he was before. I start scavenging for some leaves and cobwebs to put on his wound. Later, I find him lying in a different spot than before. “Sebastian, I’m just here to help you”, “And how do I know I can trust you?” he says. “Because I am Stephanie and I help animals get healed”, “just try not to stab me again or else I’ll have to get the queen’s royal guards” he snarls at me. “ Ok,ok, just stay calm, this might sting a little bit but I’m sure you’ll be fine otherwise”. A few hours later, I’m done with my work on healing Sebastian. “Phew, I’m done, well I guess I’ll be on my way”. “Take care, and I have one question, how’d you get this far?”, “Well, I like to keep it as my little secret but, I guess we’re friends now so I like to call this DETERMINATION!”. He looks confused, a little later he says, “Ok, thanks” THE SEBASTIAN CHAPTER “Huh, huh, huh, my queen I have good news but bad news at the same time”, I say, I’m panting and my fur is warm and sticky “yes, what is it Sebastian?” the queen says softly, “Uummm...I don’t think you’ll like the bad news, but the good news is that I almost managed to capture something or someone...But… the bad news is… that a human that has claimed to be named Stephanie has entered the forbidden forest!”, “WWHHAATT!!!!!!?????...how could you do that Sebastian?! You put a whole forest full of animals that are all homeless in deep trouble!!”, “Yes I know that my choice was bad, but I was badly injured in a fight with the hum-I mean Stephanie, but now I’m fine now thanks to her she healed me.” I’m getting nervous as the queen's royal guards walk in and start to surround me, “GET HIM AND THROW HIM IN PRISON!!!!!” queen Avoylyn yells, she starts to move unsettled in her perch. I personally think this is funny because she is an otter and I’m taking orders from her but I still get freaked out because her guards are tough and it’s five against one...without the guards knowing that I’m ready to sprint, I take a ginormous leap and make a run for it, I run through the open space in between the new guard and the oldest guard to get to the door I ran like I’ve never ran before and in a split second, the chase begins.
me stay tuned to see what happens next!!
