In The Forest
It was
a cloudy day in the town of Cripple Creek. The sun was barely visible, snow was
beginning to come down through the trees that stood tall above. It wasn’t
abnormal in this town, Tall intimidating trees, smoke coming out of short
stocks, and old grass all around. Savanahh was on her way home, her brother
following behind. As they reached their house their mom was fighting with
someone out front so they took the back gate. As Savanahh slide open their
glass door their dog Buster came running up to them barking. Savanahh grabbed
Busters leash and a small bag of dog treats and let Buster in the back yard so
she could put down her bag and take him out. As Savanahh was walking into the
backyard she noticed that Buster wasn’t there, she ran inside yelling “Buster…
Buster…Buster!!!!” her brother heard and came running into the living room.
“Busters not in here, he went
outside.”
“I was just out there, he wasn’t back
there.”
So
they both went running out there and saw that the gate was open and that Buster
was out on the street. The two looked at each other and went running towards
Buster, but he bolted right into the woods. The two teenagers still had all of
their stuff in their hands, but they kept running and followed Buster right
into the woods. They had no idea what all really awaited them in the woods. As
the two were running and running for wat seemed like a century, Daniel,
Savanahhs younger brother, looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was
getting really dark. But that didn’t stop Savanahh. She remembers having that
dog her whole life, so did Daniel, their dog wasn’t known as just their pet,
Buster was Savanahhs guard when she would sleep, Buster was Daniels best friend
when he was growing up. They had to rescue Buster.
As night fall came the trees started
to seem invisible and the only thing in sight was the stars. As Daniel looked
up at the stars he felt a weird feeling, as if he knew that they had no luck in
finding Buster, but he kept moving. That night they saw a bright light. They
went to go check out what it could be, it looked like a bright blue ball of
energy. Daniel immediately touched it and it did nothing so then Savanahh
touched it and it moved. As it moved four numbers popped up. 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013,
2012 and so on until they hit the four numbers 1066 this was when there was
mythical creatures and knights and giants and goblins. Savanahh and Daniel
didn’t think anything about it. The next day they saw a small little village
and decided to take a look around, get some breakfast and hopefully find their
dog. Right as they were walking into the town they realized that the houses
seemed really small, but they kept walking. They didn’t see anyone in the
village so they kept walking, right as they got near the middle of the village
hey heard a really loud horn sound and then a lot of screaming after words. The
two couldn’t tell where the sound was coming from, but it was getting closer
and closer to them. Suddenly a group of really ugly and really mean goblins
came running out at the two teenagers. The two tries to run but they were
surrounded. The goblins seemed to have a lot of pointy sticks and sharp metal
in their hands. When all of the goblins reached the teenagers there was a split
second of silence and the only words that were said were words from the eyes. The
goblins and the Savanahh and Daniel looked at each other for what seemed like
hours. Then the one sound that the two teenagers had been waiting to hear
finally arose.
“Bark! Bark!”
It was
Buster, and he sounded really close. Savanahh and Daniel took their eyes off the
goblins and started looking around. One of the goblins got curious about what
Savanahh and Daniel were doing in there village, so he stood on top of one of
the logs and asked really loudly.
“What are you ridiculously tall things
doing in our village?”
“We are looking for our dog. My name
is Savanahh and this is my younger brother Daniel. We are seriously sorry for
invading on your guys space, but we really need to find our dog have any of you
guys seen him?”
“No we haven’t seen a dog and even if
we had we would have eaten it already by now.”
That
seriously scared the two teenagers because they would never wish any type of
harm on Buster and they would definitely never wish for him to be eaten by mean
goblins.
“We don’t like strangers in our
village we need you to leave, right now!”
“We’re sorry thank you for your time”
they both said as they scarce fully walked away from the goblins.
As
soon as they were far away from the village they stopped and started talking to
each other.
“That was crazy! Who eats dogs?”
Savanahh said as she took off her back pack.
“We need to find Buster before they
do!”
Right
as Daniel said that a golden dog started running up to both of them. Daniel was
so happy to see Buster and Savanahh was too. Buster ran right up to Savanahh
and tackled her right to the ground. She fell and started laughing, but all the
laughter stopped right as the goblins returned. They had gone to apologize to
them for being mean and were going to try to give them stuff to help, but when
they saw the dog they knew that they would have a feast that night so they got
their sleep potions and hit Savanahh and Daniel with a very strong amount of
sleep.
Daniel was the first of them to wake
up. As he opened his eyes everything was burry, but as his eyes started to
adjust and he saw that he was tied to a table. His sister was placed right next
to him but was only tied at the hands and the feet. As he tried to wake her he
almost fell off the table so he screamed as loud as he could for her to wake
up. As Savanahh opened her eyes she said that she couldn’t see anything and
that she was really scared, but after a few moments her eyes started to adjust
and she started looking around for a way out. Daniel remembered that he had a
really good knife that he always kept in her bag right at the bottom. As
Savanahh sat up she got really light headed and ad to lay back down for a
second. Daniel couldn’t wait, he started yelling at her to get back up.
“Savanahh get up we have to get up we
have to get out of here!”
“I’m trying stop yelling at me.”
“Hurry up!”
Savanahh
was finally able to sit up and reach her bag. As she emptied it out her bag she
finally found the knife. Savanahh cut herself free and then cut her brother
free. They both stood up and Savanahh didn’t say a thing to Daniel. They both
started walking around the little house looking for anything that could help
them. They found nothing so they looked out the windows, but didn’t see anyone.
They were super careful about the amount of noise and where they were going,
but every little noise that Daniel would make Savanahh would snap at him. Once
they got the middle of town they found the cage that the goblins had built to
keep buster in so they could cook him for dinner. The cage was mad out of tree
branches so Daniel went right up to the cage and broke one of the branches and
Savanahh yelled at him.
“You idiot, you are supposed to be
being really quite, you’re the one that didn’t close the gate and you are the
reason that we have to be out here in the first place!”
Daniel got really hurt by this and
instead of just walking away he snapped right back.
“Well if it weren’t for you we
wouldn’t have been walking through the woods dark at night last night and we
wouldn’t have ran into the goblins village”
As they started fighting they weren’t
paying attention to the noise level they were making and all of a sudden they
had another big group of goblins running towards them. Daniel realized as the
goblins were trying to get into the house, so Daniel showed Savanahh the back
door. As soon as they ran out of the house they quickly ran to each house
looking for Buster. The last place that they decided to check was the middle of
town. As Daniel walked around the tree in the middle of the goblins village he
spotted the cage that they had had Buster in except this time Buster wasn’t
there. They searched for what felt like whatever
and they almost started thinking that Buster was dead and that they were too
late. Just as Savanahh and Daniel were about to give up they heard the sound of
cheering and then Buster barking. They ran straight to him and kicked every
goblin along the way. The adrenaline kicked in and they weren’t going to stop
for anyone or anything until they had their dog in their hands. Their dog was hanging
upside down getting poked at by a very small and very loud goblin babies. The
moment that they reached Buster they split up, Daniel started throwing the
goblin babies and Savanahh started untying Buster. Once they got buster down
and they got his leash on they started running for the woods. They never even
thought to look behind them the entire time that they were running. Then as
they were running in the forest they heard a really loud sound in the sky so at
first they thought that it was a plane, but it was really a dragon that was
flying right above them. That’s when it clicked in Savanahhs mind. When they
were poking the creepy blue ball they were going back in time. She remembered
that there were numbers showing up and that it looked like a timeline, but she
couldn’t remember what numbers they landed on.
“Daniel remember when we were tapping
the blue magic ball and there were numbers, do you remember what number we
stopped at?”
“We stopped at 1066 I believe, why?”
“We traveled back in time!”
“What!”
So
Savanahh explained everything to him as they started running towards the blue
ball. After two hours they finally found the blue ball. They started tapping
the ball and only kept going back in time so they stopped before they went back
to far. They couldn’t figure out how to go forward so they stopped. They looked
around for a minute to think of what to do. Just as Savanahh looked out in the
distance she saw a really small cabin.
“Daniel! There’s a cabin out there!”
So
they ran straight to the cabin and knocked on the door. After the third knock a
60 year old guy came to the door.
“Hello?”
“Hi my name is Savanahh and this is my
brother Daniel we saw a blue ball out in the woods, is that by any chance
ours?”
“Yes that’s mine, why do you want to
know?”
“My brother and I accidentally tapped it
WAY too many times and we were wondering if you knew how to reduce what it did
to us?”
“It’ll cost you a pretty penny!”
“We will give you what we can.”
“Okay come in. My name is Dr. Blue.”
So as
Savanahh and Daniel entered the nice guy’s home they looked at each other and
were really hopeful. The old guy closed the door and asked them what time
period they were from.
“We lived in 2016, isn’t this 1066?”
“Holy cow, why did you guys tap the
ball so many times?”
“We didn’t know what we were doing.”
“Okay well first we need to talk about
how much this is going to cost you.”
“I can give you a couple sharpies.”
Daniel said.
“I can give you one of my band
necklaces” said Savanahh.
“Alright that works. Now the way to
reverse this is very easy but it tastes terrible. You have to drink a potion
that tastes like nothing until it hits the back of your throat. You’re going to
have to lay on the floor right after you take it because you will fall asleep.”
“Thank you.” Both of them said.
As the
older guy was getting thing ready Savanahh turned to Daniel and told him thank
you.
“I just wanted you to know I’m really
glad that we were able to stop ignoring each other and save are best friend.
Thank you.”
“Anytime”
Right
as they got done with their moment the old guy came back into the room and gave
each of them a little cup full of violet mixture. About three minutes later
they were both laying on the floor. When they woke up they were both in their
rooms and they were lying in bed. The first thing that they looked at was home
many days had past but none had. It had only been a half hour since they had
left into the woods. They immediately ran to each other and give each other a
hug. As Daniel was walking the dog to go to the restroom he looked up to the
sky to say thank you and smiled.
