Chapter 1 - The forbidden tree(1)

"Where-... Where am i...?"

Eve thought to herself. Feeling a cold breeze she attempts to get up only to feel a sharp pain on her right thigh.

Eve's eyes flinched with pain as she looked upon the cause. A bite mark. Not just on her thigh but on her right hand and let calf as well.

"Ah... it hurts p-please somebody... help me"

Eve whispered to herself. Looking around the Cold winter after noon Terrain only to find nothing. The sun was starting to set.

A dim headache could be felt as Eve tries to Recall the memories of how this had happened.

***

"Eve! Come on out!** Eric called out to Eve.

"Okay father!" Eve quickly picked up her bow going out to him.

Outside the hut sudden cold air hit her skin making her shudder. the snow crunching under her leather boots as she walks up to her father.

"Our Tribe is in a dire need of food. We can not pass this winter without enough food that much is obvious. therefore we're going on a hunt. I assume you're coming with us aren't you Eve?" 

Eve looks at the Man arguing with his father.

"My son. I am warning you for you might not return if you go on this hunt! We can go another time a great storm is said to be coming!"

The mans Father desperately cried out.

"Father. You raised one heck of a man. Blistering storm or a mountain of snow. Through thick and thin I will return with enough meat to feed the entire village father do not worry."

The man tried to sooth his fathers nerves.

The mans father looked away in a disappointed manner, seemingly given up he heads back into his Hut.

Eric- "Eve. This one might be tough are you sure you can handle it? We wont be returning for at least a week you know?"

Eric warned as he pat the over energetic dog at the front of the sledge.

Eve - "of course father. Do not worry for I am a warrior too."

Eve said while testing the string of her bone. hard but not to the point it would be a struggle for her to pull it back. Just the right amount of resistance. 

looking proud of her work she couldn't help but show a bit of smugness as she put the bow back in the holster on her back along with the arrows she sharpened this morning.

Smiling faintly with a hint of sadness Eric got on the sledge along with Eve.

"Okay then Eve, I trust you, Afterall my daughter is the most accurate in the village."

he said looking proud in his tired eyes.

"of course father, I will not disappoint you." Eve said smiling as she clutches the front of the sludge. 

Along with 4 other sledge full of men armed and ready they head out to the wilderness.

one of the men, Eric looked a bit worried as he looked into the distant mountains, spotting the edge of the incoming disaster which seemed to be a blizzard. 

sitting back into the sledge Eric tried to chase his worries away, hoping the blizzard avoids them, even if it doesn't the tribe is in desperate need of food there is no turning back and he knew it. 

Finally arriving at the Forest the Men along with Eric and Eve sprang into action Carefully but swiftly running through the forest making sure not to make a sound as it could chase away the prey. 

after looking for hours they finally spotted herd of deer. With the signal from Eric they shot out chasing after the herd. 

6 hours had passed by as we were lost in the peaceful humming of the forest.

A silence in the forest is broken by a faint arrow sound slicing through the air a mere second later a deer was hit in the head dropping dead on impact.

in the Dense forest, a snake slitters to the source of the sound in the peaceful forest.

The snake is looking at the group with great curiosity as they go retrieve the fallen herd of deer one by one.

Eric- "Would you look at that Eve a bullseye you certainly have improved greatly."

eric pat Eve caringly with a proud smile as Eve retrieved the arrow from the Fallen deer.

looking pleasantly surprised by the gesture Eve looked back at her Father with a huge smiler on her face with her eyes glistening.

Eve- "of course father. I learned from the best"

Eric laughed softly and said 

"My daughter's body is growing but she's still a bit childish-"

Suddenly a man screamed at the back of the party with a terrified and pained expression.

Looking back at the pained screams of the man Eric and Eve spotted group of Horrifyingly huge unnatural wolves biting and tearing the man apart.

As Eve readied up her Bow another group of 12 wolves attack form the rear in panic everyone starts to fight or flee.

Those who fought could be of no use even as they hit the wolves with arrows or swords they don't seem to take any damage.

A man suddenly climbed up into Erics sledge and hurriedly pulled Eric into the sledge. As Eve desperately tried to run after her father, a wolf suddenly jumped up biting her calf. Along with 3 others she is left there to be food for the wolves. While the others flee.

Eric-" EVE NO- LET ME GO BACK STOP THE SLEDGE TURN BACK- I SAID TURN BACK!"

The man looked at the panicked Eric then hits him in the Chin knocking him cold out.

"Sorry Eric, I am afraid its too late for her." He muttered under his breath not looking back.

Eve screamed at the top of her lungs.

Eve- "PLEASE NO SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I DON'T want... to...die..."

Her consciousness faded. But before her eyes close fully she sawthe wolves fleeing from... a snake.
