******in the dark******


“Okay, Remy, now we need to do this,” Dusk whispered, “and we can’t fail. After all this spell is easy enough.”

Dusk started to draw a spell circle with only the glow of the small fire at one corner of the cave. However, it seemed a bit too dark as she tried hard to draw properly. It took some time but at least she did it.

“Yes!” she exclaimed in relief, “here we go, Remy, hey! Stop eating at that walnut and help me!”

She started to chant a spell using the language of the elf clan. Soon she ended the chant and dropped to the ground in exhaustion. Well, after all this was the first time she used a simple spell on such a great area.

“Well they are not getting out so soon and I need some rest. Maybe I can take a nap,” she mumbled as she lay on the floor.

However, it was then she felt something wet and slippery in her hair. Slowly, she took out the thing and she realized what the thing was in the glow of the fire.

“Remy! That is your half-eaten walnut! With all your saliva! Come back here, you!” she screamed, “See what you have done to my hair!”

However, on hearing her screams, the clever squirrel only ran faster. Cursing after her squirrel, Dusk chased after it out of the cave and into the forest.

*****in the forest*****

“Umm… I think… it is this way,” Xiaomei pointed to the right.

“And why, I wonder?” Sala asked as she dragged her feet down the right path.

“Cause right is right, right?” Xiaomei replied with a grin.

Sala groaned at her reply and kneeled on the ground, “I’m beat and we are lost!”

“We are not lost!” Xiaomei protested but she added quietly, “we just don’t know where we are.”

“That is the definition of lost, Miss Xiaomei,” Tress complained, “and we have been walking in circles for hours!”

“Of course we are not. Don’t be silly, “Xiaomei said quickly.

“Well, we are,” Tress pointed to a marking on the tree she was leaning against, “see that t marking? I made it just now while we were resting at this exact spot!”

“What? You mean all this walking and we are back to square one?” Sala complained as she threw her hands up, “I think I am dying.”

“Hey is it just me? I have a feeling that there is something weird?” Tress asked as she looked around their surrounding.

“I don’t know I feel that there might be magic around,” Sala replied as she felt the small waves of energy coursing through the air.

“Hey the report says that the monsters emit energy waves when they are approaching. Do you think?” Tress asked fearfully.

“Look behind you!” Xiaomei shouted suddenly, pointing behind Sala.

Both Tress and Sala jumped in surprise and sprinted away from where they were standing earlier. However, when they calmed down and looked at that spot, there was nothing and Xiaomei was laughing hard.

“Umm…. Kidding?” she said between her chuckles.

“Hey! Do you know that people can be scare to death?” Sala snapped at Xiaomei, “This is so not funny.”

The two of them glared at the laughing girl, waiting for her to stop laughing. Hey were embarrassed at falling for a prank like this. However, they had come to the forest in search for the monsters. Knowing that they really were here, it made them kinda of jumpy.
“Sorry,” Xiaomei said sheepishly after a long round of laughter but she added cheerfully, “it’s not that easy to meet one. Don’t worry.”

“You are one optimistic girl,” Sala said, resigned.

“And you are one pessimistic girl,” Xiaomei replied her.

“Well, I have you know that I,” however she was cut off as Tress stepped on her right foot, “ouch!”

“Opps, I’m so sorry!” Tress apologized with a fake look of concern as she sat besides Sala and whispered to her, “I thought we agreed that neither of us is going to expose our identities?”

“Of course I remember!” Sala hissed, “You don’t have to step on me!”

“Too late!” Tress grinned in mischief as she stood and said, “hey let’s get going. It is getting dark.”

“So fast! We only rest for a while. Just five more minutes?” Sala complained.

“Well, of course you can stay here. But if the monsters eat you up, it’s not my fault,” Tress said as she stuck her tongue out of Sala who stuck hers out in protest.

“Well, that’s great lizard communication we have,” Sala muttered.

“Hey you two are being childish, let’s go,” Xiaomei voiced her opinion as she stood up and ready to go, “I don’t want to spend the night in the dark forest with only the three of us.”

“Well, miss we-are-not-lost, where do you think we are going then?” Sala complained though she did not like to sleep in the dark either.

“Let’s just try our luck? And we go right again?” Xiaomei answered as they stood in front of a fork path again.

“I heard from somewhere that when you are in a maze, always stick to the right,” Tress commented but unsure about which way to go.

“But we are not in a maze. We are in a forest,” Xiaomei remarked as she studied the two ways.

It was then a twig dropped on the left path from behind them. The two of them looked back and found Sala smirking at them.

“Well, since the twig has decided for us, let’s go and get out of the forest! It really is getting dark,” Sala went past the two of them and continued walking.

“Your friend?” Tress asked Xiaomei as the two of them followed Sala’s lead.

“No I thought yours? Why would anyone just throw a twig and follow it?” Xiaomei asked in disbelief.

“You are looking at one,” Tress answered as she caught up with Sala, “you sure about going this way?”

“Of course I am! We are walking now, aren’t we?” Sala smiled, “after all what was worse than staying the night in the forest?”

“Well, a lot I can think of,” Tress replied, “like monsters or.”

However she was cut off by a scream from Sala. Instinctively, she caught Sala’s arm as Sala fell, dragging her down. Behind them, Xiaomei who had heard the scream dashed to them but only managed to catch Tress’s right arm. Then she grabbed a branch from a nearby tree, causing them to be suspended in a human chain.

It was actually funny in a morbid way as the three of them swayed. However, in a death and life situation, humor never existed. They had fallen from the cliff.

“Don’t let go!” Xiaomei shouted at the two.

“I won’t and Sala, you were saying just now that it can’t get worse?” Tress said with a hint of humor though she was trembling with the tension and pressure.

“Don’t remind me and it’s a long way down!” Sala screamed.

“Can’t you do anything? Your magic?” Tress shouted to be heard over the howling wind that seemed to pick up as they hang there.

“I can’t reach for my wand!” Sala screamed as hysteria started to weave through her body, “you are the one with the skills! Do something!”

“I don’t know what! Scream for help?” Tress suggested as the wind did get stronger.

“I am slipping!” Xiaomei yelled in horror as they started to scream for help.

It seemed like forever. The place started to get dark and soon they felt tired and their hands were slipping.

Just when they had about to give up hope, suddenly there was a rope thrown down from the cliff. As if unsure the three of them were frozen.

“Did you two see what I am seeing? Or is this my imagination?” Sala asked in disbelief.

“Well, if it is your imagination, it is mine too,” Tress confirmed, “well? Try to touch it and grabbed it.”

Slowly, Sala reached for the rope, pulling it slightly.

“Hey, it is real and secured!” Sala shouted in joy.

Slowly she made her way up, followed by Tress and finally Xiaomei. They fell onto the top and basked in the joy that they were saved.

“Well, one thing I know is that living is great,” Tress exclaimed as the other two nodded.

“So are you three alright?” A voice said from behind them.

They turned to see a boy around their age with the rope that had just saved them in his hands. They looked at him, puzzled and then at the rope. Apparently, he had been the person who had saved him.

“well, if you mean heart pumping at the speed of sound and still recovering from the ache in the arm as alright, I guess we are alright,” Tress answered with a grin, “and thanks a lot for saving us.”

“Yeah, thanks a lot!” Sala said gratefully, “that is a messy way to die. How do you find us? Heard our nice panicky screaming?”

“Not really actually. The wind is too strong for you to be heard. I was on the other side and saw the human chain from there. I did rush here as soon as possible,” the boy replied with a smile, “I am Wumi.”


**** On the other side of the forest****

“Hey, Remy, where are you?” Dusk demanded.

She had been searching for the irritating squirrel for the last hour and she was very sure that it was laughing at her somewhere.

“Stupid squirrel! It is dark and I need my beauty sleep so come out!” Dusk yelled again.

There was rustling behind her and she smiled. No one escape from the princess elf named Dusk.

“Haha! Got you!” she said as she turned.

However, what greeted her was not Remy but rather a monster that she knew was lurking around the forest somewhere. She stood frozen for a moment before she broke into a run, cursing “stupid Remy!”
