Chapter 6 - The forest

The vine slowly slithered to James like a snake. It swayed left and right waiting for the right time to pounce on its victim. The ivy, lush with green as bright as the sun itself. It seemed as though the forest was halting his venture forward. As the ivy crept from the ground, vines came from the trees.

Before James could even comprehend what was going on, something latched on his neck and legs. He was smothered by leaves, and soon they made a Cocoon around him. The vines were choking Jameson, he struggled to breath, and soon it was increasingly harder to do so. As his airflow was constricted, he soon passed out. James couldn't help but be sad about being unable to eat his sandwich.

As the system kept notifying James, the wolf crept ever so slightly and was ready to attack at any moment. Jameson was still entangled of vine and ivy, similar to how Groot made a protective ball made from wood. The curious wolf couldn't help but open the cocoon only to see a boy being strangled by nature itself. It stared longingly at James, mouth watery like a person drowning, he wanted to eat him. A savory fresh meat stood in front of him, as such it thought of bringing the tangled boy to its cave. After dropping the unconscious boy several times, it accidentally did CPR and jump started James' lungs. The greedy half bred wolf was vying at its food, then it absolutely shat itself when James awoke.

"What the hell happened!"

The wolf couldn't help but think, 'weren't you dead a moment ago?!'.

James was absolutely stupefied by the wolf, they both look at one another in disbelief. Jameson knew that he had to take action before the wolf could do so. Without a moments notice James pulled out the shard in his inventory, as he tried to stab the wolf, but the wolf had a faster reaction time then him and clawed James across his chest.

As the blood gushed from his chest like water filling a submarine, Jameson had a flashback of his mother stabbing him. As how James' blood danced from his body like a ribbon. The wolf took the advantage as attacked the stunned child, but before it could pounce a vine whipped out from the corner of its eyes.
