Darcy heard some voices around her. Among those, some were males and some females. It was as if they were making chaos, scolding someone. But Darcy couldn't be able to see them because she was too weak and hurt to open her eyes. She tried to open her eyes but her vision wasn't clear. She saw some tall figures talking around before she fainted and fell into deep sleep again.
She blinked her eyes twice and closed it. She opened her eyes but her vision wasn't clear so she again closed her eyes. But a sudden glimpse of what happened to her made her jumped off from her sleepiness. She hurriedly sat back and found herself on a bed. She realized that she's in a room but it didn't look familiar to her.
The room was neither dark nor bright. The light of the wall lamp was lighting the room perfectly. She found some furniture in that room like a cupboard, a study desk, a rack full of books. She also found a guitar was hanging on the wall and also some posters of 90s musical artists and bands. The door if that room was in a corner and beside that there were a big mirror. Darcy could see herself in the mirror. Suddenly she remembered that her head was bleeding. But there's no sign of scratches or cuts in her forehead. She brushed her fingers on her head and realized that the abrasion she had on her elbow wasn't also there. She got confused. She could only see some Band-Aids on her legs.
Suddenly the door knob turned around and someone opened the door. Darcy saw a familiar figure. After that figure came in, Darcy got shock.
"Christina?" she didn't expect her to see here.
"Dars! Already up? When?" she came in and closed the door.
"What are you doing here?" Christina giggled.
"What do you mean with what am I doing here? It's my house. I live here." she came to Darcy and sat beside her on the bed.
"But how's this possible? I was in the woods…"
"Woods?" Christina interrupted her in between and said.
"You weren't in the woods. I found you letting down unconsciously on the street beside your car so I brought you home."
"What?" Darcy frowned her eyebrows and looked at Christina.
"Yeah!"
"That's impossible! I-I saw them. You know, I saw some creatures in the woods. Th-they looks exactly like humans but they aren't." Darcy became restless.
"They run faster than a car, climb and jumped from one tree to another just like a monkey. And they they eat human flesh.."
"Seriously Dars!" Christina giggled.
"I'm serious Chris! They attacked on me. They also killed some people in front of my eyes." Darcy kept saying restlessly and Christina kept listening patiently.
"But you know, I survived that accident and came out of my car. I remember my forehead was bleeding, and I they were following me. I ran into the woods but they kept following me. They were about to kill me. They th- They said they'd killed me by ripping of my le…"
"Darcy!" Christina woke her up.
"There's nothing like this at all. You're safe, absolutely safe here. Don't overthink. It was just a dream."
"It wasn't a dream Chris! It was all real. And-and I saw a wolf. A huge wolf." Christina's eyes got widened.
"It was about 6 feet tall. And i-it talked to me." Suddenly Christina busted out laughing. Darcy looked at her with disappointment.
"I'm serious."
"No you can't be Dars! I'm sorry but." Christina caught breath and said,
"But Dars! Listen, what happened to you was, your car got hit by a tree log on the road. The road in Rakenwoods is in under construction and there are no light on street after sunset. That's why I was telling you not to cross Rakenwoods after twilight. And whatever you said now, it was all your dream." Darcy was nodding her head as no but Christina further added,
"I can prove that. Look!" Both of them looked at the mirror.
"look, as you said you, your forehead was bleeding, you gat an abrasion on you elbow, where's it?" Darcy started agreeing with Christina. Christina started taping on Darcy's forehead and elbow.
"Do you feel any pain?" Darcy nodded as no.
"See! I told you it was just a dream." Darcy thought to herself that maybe Christina is right. Maybe that all was just a bad dream.
"Don't overthink now. Come with me." Christina stood up from the bed.
"Better if we get out of this room soon. My brother hasn't come to his room because you were sleeping here." Darcy's eyes got widened and she felt bad.
"It's your brother's room?" Christina nodded and opened the door. Darcy hurriedly climbed off the bed and followed Christina. She felt bad for Christina's brother who gave his room to her. She decided to say sorry right after she meets him.
....
"Am I in Rakenwoods?" Darcy asked while putting off her clothes.
"Nope! It's Kridale. It's on the opposite side of River Rood." Christina looked at Darcy and found she was overthinking again.
"Don't overthink babe! You're safe here." she pulled out a jeans for Darcy and threw it to her.
"Wear it and come out. Everyone is dying to meet you downstairs." Christina said and Darcy nodded.
Darcy wore Christina's dresses and came out of the room with her.
"Come on." After a living room both of them headed towards the stairs. Darcy followed Christina downstairs. After coming half down, she found a living room where some people talking to each others. Darcy went down and everyone looked at her.
