Chapter 2 - Chapter 2- The Strange Man

When I woke up it was already noon. I climbed down the tree and sat down to think about my situation. There were many things that don't connect. Point one, I fell of a cliff and should be dead but I'm still alive and not wounded. Point two, I am in a foreign place and I have no idea how I got here. Point three I haven't seen any animals, not even insects and I have been here for over twenty four hours. Something is not right here. I need to find my way back home. With renewed determination I started walking again.

After some time I came upon a river. I took a moment to take in the view. It was a beautiful river with clear waters and you could see to the bottom. That was something I noticed, every thing here was beautiful, almost flawless. I walked over to stand before the river, and saw my reflection. Although there were smudges of dirt it couldn't cover the beauty hidden underneath, instead it made me seem more human. A small oval face, smooth white skin,big innocent turquoise eyes,long thick lashes, beautiful slightly arched brows,a small straight nose, and soft plump lips with a nice pink color, it was the face of an angel.

I decided to take a bath in the river. Even though there weren't many trees around this area I wasn't afraid of being seen considering the fact that I haven't seen a living creature since got here. I put my clothes by the river and went in. The water was warm and it felt great. I sat down in sallow water, closed my eyes and got lost in the feeling. When I opened my eyes it was already a little dark." Oh shit, how did it get so late." I rushed to put my clothes on, took my flashlight, and went to find a place to sleep.

While I was walking I saw something on the ground. I paused. I was scared thinking about what it could be but curiosity got the best of me. As I walked toward it It I was thinking to myself,'it shouldn't be dangerous, after all I haven't seen anything threatening so far'. When I came closer I saw that it was a person. I completely stoped at that moment. My bran was working at 100 percent trying to figure things out. For example, why was a human here.

After a while I calmed down. I wanted to leave for fear that he might be dangerous but when I thought about how he might be able to help me get home I stayed put. "Hello",I said. When I called him he didn't answer. I walked closer and called louder. "Hello." There was still no answer. I wanted to shake him but he felt cold. I panicked thinking he might be dead but I calmed down and decided to verify it first. I checked but he wasn't breathing. I completely stopped moving. He's dead? No that can't be. But I had the evidence right before me. Then something very suprising happened. He opened his eyes.
