Chereads / Secret of the Wolves / Chapter 5 - The Tree

Chapter 5 - The Tree

Scarlet and Felix met up outside of the school. "Ready to check the mysterious thing in the woods?" asked Scarlet, "Yup." replied Felix. They ran towards the woods. They searched deep in the woods, but couldn't find anything. An hour later, Scarlet gave up trying to find what she sensed. She went to find Felix since they had split up to find the unknown thing. "Felix!" Scarlet called. She found a hill and decided to climb it to see if Felix was close. As she got closer, the mysterious sensation became stronger. When she got to the top, she found a small tree. She scanned the tree, but it looked normal. Though, the tree smelled weird. Scarlet tried to figure out why it smelled like this, until someone called her name. "Scarlet!" Felix said faintly down the hill. Scarlet looked down and glanced back at the tree. She then slid down the hill and saw Felix. "What were you doing up there?" asked Felix, "The weird sensation is up there. It was a small tree." Scarlet said. "I have to get back though, I don't want to skip dinner." "Okay," said Felix "Remember to ask your parents about the full moon!" Scarlet nodded and ran back home.

When Scarlet got to her house, she went straight to her parents and asked if Felix could stay for the full moon. Her parents talked it over and agreed. After all, they wouldn't want him to expose their secret. They ate their dinner, Scarlet also told her family about Felix. Scarlet was excited to spend the time with Felix in her family's cellar. She went to her room after taking a shower and sat on her bed. After she was done thinking about Felix coming over, she suddenly remembers the odd tree. She lied down and looked at her ceiling. She kept thinking about the strange tree until she closed her eyes and feel asleep. While she was asleep, she had a dream. It was faint, but she saw a boy and a lady. They boy seemed to look like Felix, but Scarlet didn't recognize the lady. The lady seemed like Felix's mother because they had the same eye and hair color. Felix looked younger, maybe around 4 or 5. The lady seemed like she was crying, Felix looked puzzled. The lady smiled at him and gave him a necklace. Felix looked at it and admired it. When he looked back to see his mother, she was gone. Felix looked around, but couldn't find the lady. Then he was found by humans, they took him and put him up for adoption. Then, the image turned dark and Scarlet woke up.
