Chereads / Deep in his heart / Chapter 7 - Woods

Chapter 7 - Woods

I can finally have time for myself,the twins won't just leave me alone,if I'm not with Lucy I'll be with Luca. I could tell them that I wanted to be alone but I don't want to see disappointment on their cute faces.

Mom,dad,Luca and Lucy all went to the amusement park,leaving me alone at home.

I spent my alone time reading novels and doing research on mythology. I got bored after a few hours so I decided to go out.

I packed my lunch and headed to the woods.

I have lived in lore valley most of my life,the people here are unbelievable superstitious. They are countless myths surrounding in lore valley, one of those myths include a beast that lives in the woods that has big red eyes,huge fangs and is blood thirsty. It is said that a long time people worshipped this creature,offering it sacrifices but after civilization came they forgot about them and occasionally the beast will go around and devour whoever is present in the woods. I would also believe this nonsense if I didn't venture into the woods myself. I wasn't a brave child but I believed that their was a more logical explanation i went together with some of my friends. The myths I hear while growing influenced my decision of wanting to be an archaeologist. Through archaeology i could research not only myths and legends in my hometown but all over the world.

In school I wasn't seen as an outdoorsy person but contrary to the their thoughts I am quite adventurous.

I entered a hidden cabin in the middle of the woods,inside their were papers with different childish handwritings glued to the wall. The papers were notes on either fantasy,mythical or legendary creatures like Bigfoot and others,there were even notes on witches.

I used to come here with my friends but now they all don't have interest in this kind of thing anymore. I pretty sure I'm the only one who still comes here, I was skimming through the notes when I heard a loud thud come from behind the cabin,i hesitantly went out to investigate the cause. I was shocked and scared of what I saw.
