Sticky, milky white and gooey strings cover Luna and I from head to toe preventing us from moving.
I wrestle with the strings grunting and panting while I attempt to tear them off me.But the more I fight it , the tighter it gets making it harder and harder to breathe.
I still swing around in the hammock that's been made out of it and desperately try to find a way to knock it out of the tree.
Amidst this, a stinging, strong floral scent pierces my nostrils making me cough violently until I finally spot the scent's culprit.
Tiny people.There are literal tiny dwarf sized people right underneath my tree.They start climbing my tree slowly and I couldn't quite make out what they looked like from afar but now their eerie appearance is becoming more apparent.
The floral scent suddenly morphs into a smell similar to…..blood.Red,fresh blood.Nauseousness fills my brain almost making me faint.If that wasn't enough, one of the 'dwarfs' sits casually on the branch right in front of me, dangling it's legs carefree and merrily.
It's beady black hole like eyes stare into my soul making me shudder.I get weak and cold just by it's presence.Half of its face, ripped open with oozing blood and prominent green flesh.It smirks at me with its lemon stained teeth and scrunched nose.
My head dangles towards the ground since I'm weak…so helpless and defenceless.This amuses it and it chuckles in a raspy menacing voice, cracked and squeaky.
"What….what do you want?Who are you?"I barely manage to choke up in the middle of me losing air and barely being able to stay alive.
"I'm the last thing you'll see after your life flashes before your eyes."It says while sneering into my face breathing out it's rancid breath.
Is this it?Will this be my tragic end? An end where no one remembers me, an end that leaves me a no body.
"STOP!Leave her. Tell me what you want.You despicable, disgusting elf."Luna screams from the tree a couple feet in front of me.
elves?I've only ever read about elves in books and they've always been magical and enchanting.Not sinister and evil.
It jumps off the branch and hops towards Luna's tree where it goes up and also sits right in front of her.
Luna's tough, she's unfazed and she glares at him while she grinds her teeth.He tilts his head and cups her chin making her look up at his gruesome face.
"Your eyes are beautiful.I want them."He declarers as he holds his dagger up to her eye, almost as if he's almost to pierce them out.
"How do I do that?" She asks as she takes a deep breath.
"A mere ritual.Simple."The freak suggests as it smiles and looks at both of us.
We're both stuck in a complicated situation and we don't know what to do.At this point,I can only trust that Luna's coming up with an idea to get us out of here.
"Free my friend and I from these webs and I'll do the ritual." She announces assertively.
The elf laughs louder than needed and widens it's eyes while smirking.He says that he won't fall for our tricks that easily and orders his elvesmen to guard both of us.
A dozen elves surround both of us with their daggers dripping with blood.The have the most eerie smiles as they all stare at us.
My shaky hand barely grasp onto my white rose for protection.Maybe he was just an illusion.He abandoned me when I needed him the most.
Scream.just scream , do it.The words run around in my head driving me mad and crazy.I get deja vu because I feel like I've felt this feeling before and it's refreshing.I feel like I'm alive and can do anything.
I scream.I scream as loud as I can and it echoes across the entire forest , piercing the elves' ears.The screams shift into laughter.Mad laughter.
I laugh like a maniac until it happens again.My red eye starts glowing again and instead of a hexagon projection, it's a triangle.
I use my not-so-new ability to suck both Luna and I out of the strings and into the projection.
"YES!"I scream out loud as we both have made towards the ground but unfortunately the projection's gone.
The projections gone and we're surrounded by crazed elves ready to charge with miniatures daggers in their hands…
