Chapter 2: Midnight Forest

- Where... Where am I?

Still confused on what happened, Leyce started looking around him in order to find someone.

- Looks like I'm alone here huh... It's just bright Moon, me and this forest...

And so, he started wandering around. As he was walking in random directions, in this huge forest which he have never seen before, something comes to his mind.

- I feel like I'm forgetting something. Something important. All I remember was me being in school, that person whom I couldn't see, that offered me "the truth"... But... There was something else. Like tons of memories... I could swear I saw them, yet I don't remember anything.

After hopeless searching for a bit, a noise in grass was made.

- Who's there?!

No response...

- Was it wind? It has to be wind right... Shit. Out of all places, my "non boring life" starts in a damn forest. In a middle of nowhere.

After pointless walking for another 30 minutes Leyce sits down to take a rest.

- Seriously, how did I even get here in the first place? Well whatever it is, it's most likely a dream isn't it. Then I guess it's just a matter of time before I wake up.

While Leyce was too busy with comforting himself, he didn't see that something was approaching him through the grass. Unless a loud noise in deep grass was made he didn't notice.

- Who's there?!

He stood up in panic and moved away from the tree he was sitting next to. Wind became even stronger. After looking at tree for a few minutes, he was sure it was nothing again. However, the very moment when he turned around, he faced something.

-Aagh!

It was a cat, standing exactly behind him and staring at him.

- Jeez, it's just a cat... Phew, that scared me way more than it should have. How are you bud, are you also lost as I am?

And so, after being alone for over an hour, in the middle of the forest during night, for the first time he felt relief. He spoke to a cat. Not because he went crazy, but because he was so glad that he isn't alone anymore. However, there was something odd with this cat...

- What's with the look in its eyes? It almost feels like as of this cat is looking at me through tears. It's eyes, they look sad, like if they are looking at someone pitiful... But that shouldn't be possible. Animals aren't capable of having such feelings or expressions. Animals can't cry... Yet this cat looks really sad.

After staring at each other for some time, cat let a tear down from its left eye. Leyce couldn't notice this at first, however this cat had two different color eyes. One was yellow, and the other one was blue. However, Leyce couldn't see tear, or the eyes of the cat in the darkness.

Nameless cat which was acting quite strange turned the opposite way and started walking. While Leyce was sitting there in confusion, cat stop and turned back towards him.

- Is it waiting for me? - He thought.

They both started walking, while cat was leading the way. Since he was lost, he didn't have a lot of choices but to follow the cat.

...

After a bit of walking, and unsuccessful attempts of Leyce trying to talk to the cat, they walk up to an small house in the forest. It was a small house made of wood. But for Leyce, it was shining like Las Vegas. After being alone in forest for hours, worried will he have to sleep the night in there, he felt nothing but joy from seeing the house. While he was occupied by the house, before he even knew it the cat was already gone.

- Where did she go? I could swear that it was right in front of me the whole time... Well, sadly I couldn't thank it for showing me the way here but it sure was helpful.

Without much thinking, Leyce decided to enter the house.

*knock knock*

... No response.

*knock knock knock*

- Hey! Anybody in there? I'm coming in.

And so he opened the door and entered the house. It was a small house, with light made by candles. He slowly headed towards a room with the most light first.

- Is the really going to be an empty house? Did I get bamboozled by the cat?? Well honestly, at least I get a place where to spend the night.

While he was thinking of what to do in the house, his eye caught up to something. There was someone in the room. He decided to enter.

- Wha...

He couldn't help his eyes but to stare. It was a naked girl with a towel around her body before his eyes.

- Oh dad, now that you are here, can you bring me another towel? I need one for my hair as we-

She turned around and was left in shock. While she was expecting her dad to stand by the door, she sees an absolute stranger staring at her, half naked.

- What?! Who are you? And for how long did you stand there??

Leyce's brain finally turns on again.

- I'M SORRY, ITS AN MISUNDERSTANDING! I was actually just passing by, after being lost in the fore-

Before he could even finish he sentence, he got slapped by the naked girl.

*slap*
