Chapter 3 - Fox Of Fate

As we reach the forbidden forest the gate seems creepier and creepier the closer we get to it.

As we get closer Natalie grows concerned and asks me,

Madi are you sure we should do this i kinda think theres a reason the rule is unspoken and the forest is closed off something bad happened really bad i think we should leave while we can.

but were already here Natalie we cant turn back now i look at Jillian and David for reasurrance and they tell Natalie were fine and that shes just nervous once she calms down we hop the gate and continue down our marked path to the clearing up further were there are sure to be foxholes and hopefully a fox so we can bust these rumers of folklore our villige tells.

We continue pressing on as that feeling at gate comes back to me but worse not just creepy this time but almost wicked with malice and evil intent this time David speaks up and says lets get this done i dont like this feeling it's strange let's get in and out.

I tell him dont worry if the map is correct were almost there we will be fine a lie i told more for myself then them hoping that if i believed it hard enough it might come true if only we had turned back but it's to late now everyone wants to turn back but everyone is to pridefull to admit it and bye the time one of finaly decided to speak up we had arrived at the claring and we all fell silent. As we came upon the clearing the intent of wicked and malice intent left but almost as soon as it left we were faced with a new feeling curiosity i asked Natalie if the spot looked right and she responded with a yes we were all feeling acomplished we almost felt like turning back but that curious feeling of curiosity was still there so we split up into teams of two Jillian went with me as David and Natalie went looking for a fox hole somewhere else after about a halfhour of searching we all somehow unintentionally met back up and we all felt like giving up but as we were about to leave fate intervined and as fate had it it decided the outcome was predetermined and with that a fox appeared and before we had the chance to turn back we met it gaze and the journey of no return had comenced as the fox of fate had made its judement and we were deamed unworthy of forgiveness as the fox came near we were all caught frozen in place unable to move as if time was frozen yet not at the same time the fox now up in my face spoke and if i werent already unnerved i whoudent have been so weirded out with what was happening the fox said.

So after all these years people are still foolish enough to wander into a foxs den but i guess after this long being left alone someone dumb enough would come along eventually and as it seems four of you came but unfortunately for you i cant let you leave im not normally so forgiving but this once ill let your kind choose between death or the judement of fate either way you wont be a problem when im done. His words stabed like a knife and without wanting to die it seemed like we all said together will take fate and like i said befor fate is always predetermined but fate works in mysterious ways and the fox after hearing our awnsers turns and without warning the moon apered in the sky and a dial appered with the dial spinning and with vicious speed it finaly stoped and like a elaborate game we awaited the awnser as words appered on the moon we coudent belive our eyes as the fox read out the fate and he said.

It looks like you'll live but not in the world you live in now we were all confused but without time to turn away and run the foxes eyes turn Heterochromic and we fell into a portal and as we were sprited away we all screamed and thus the real adventure awaits ahead as the fox turns away another fox appears and jumped with us it looked at me and without warning dissappeared as a necklace appears around my neck as we fall we know nothing of what lay ahead.
