Lost in A Beast World

My arms begin to strain me the higher I climb up the tree, but there is no use stopping. If I take a rest now I might fall down and break a leg. Just mentioning the height made my stomach ache and my head feel woozy.

”Alright, just calm down, ” I say to myself as I carry the rope around my shoulder. ”don look down, don look down, don look down! ”

Naturally I squeeze the tree and look down to see how far up I am from the ground. ”By gods grace, ” I mumble to myself as I move my head up wards. In my head the distance seemed to be miles above the ground, when I was only- ”10 feet off the ground, Im ok, Im ok. ” I say shakenly as I focus on the big branch ahead. ”I just got to make it to that branch and Ill be fine. ” I whispered as I reached for the branch.

Now you might be wondering why a girl with a serious case of acrophobia (the fear of heights) would be scaling a massive over grown tree in the middle of the woods. Well I wish I could give you a straight answer, but I can not. You see I don even know how I got here either.

You see it started in the morning, you know: eating breakfast, getting ready for school, packing lunch, my sisters bugging the crap out my mom before Im out the door and heading to school. But there was something else to, I didn know what it was, all I did know was a flash of white light covered everything around me and I woke up in the middle of the woods. I couldn find a bag or anyone for that matter. Ive just been out here all alone for at least a day. Needless to say it is best to not camp in the woods without any supplies.

”Alright I made it! ” I blurt out in dry happiness as I grab the rope and wait in silence for something to run by. ”All I have to do is jump on what ever runs by and strangle it. ” I think to myself as my hunger increases. I think I have a spear down there just in case it won go down easley. ”Cheese on rice, when did I become so cruel? ” I sense as I realise how messed up this might sound from the outside.

”Wait, do I even have a way to start a fire? I can just eat raw food, right? ” I murmur as my stomach rumbles again. ”I don think Ill survive on raw meat, Ill most likely get sick from it. ” I continue to ponder on it before I hear something coming. the pattering of swift feet tells me its heading in fast. Alright on the count of three. ”One, two, three! ” just in time I see a furry blur coming and I waste no time to react. Without thinking I jump down and land on the big hairy creature.

I quickly aim for its neck and begin to pull before I hear a panicked squeal come from it. ”Shizzle on a stick, Im strangling a boar! ” I think to my self in panic as I try to not fall off. It kicks and wiggles, but I still manage to hold the rope tight.

If I let go of my grip, even for a second, Im dead. I panicky realize.

As I continue to stay on top of the boar, I hear the most terrifying sound, a howl. It rings in my ears with such strength and power my heart stops beating for a second. The howl was so powerful, that I lost grip on the rope and fumbled infront of the wild boar. Infront of me was my spear and the angry beast.

Without skipping a beat I rolled to my spear and held it up to the boars chest. It was already charging, I won have any time to move I-

My eyes close as I push forward with my spear. ”Im not dieing without a fight, you pig! ” I shout as a squeal of pain comes from the beast, but it was not from the piercing of my spear, but from the tearing from teeth.
