The Girl In the Woods

Chapter 1: The Woods

I lived in an old house near the woods. Now, you may be thinking, oh that's nice, or, so do I, but that's not at all the case. The woods I live near don't measure up to the comprehensible nature of ordinary woods. The dark green of the untracked path was before me and I was going to go adventuring. As I looked up, I saw the looming branches of the old oak trees covering the sunlight and a bird-like figure in the trees. I started walking down the path at a very slow pace. I was cautious of what might lie ahead.
As I walked, I heard various recognizable noises. A lot of robins and chickadees were chirping and the crickets were unceasingly communicating. The day was bright, but the woods were dark, although I could still see. The canopy of trees seemed to last forever, with lavishly draped green ivy all over the trunks and branches. The world felt new again as I traveled deeper into the woods. I felt at home, so cozy and attached to the ground, trees, and the sky. I was fascinated by everything; from the grooves of the bark to the shape of the rocks and roots that were in my path.
          The trees were unfamiliar when I stopped in a clearing. All around me were tall, dark, evergreens. In the middle of the clearing were two rocks, perfect for sitting on. I sat down on one, and let my guard down. While walking through the woods, tension was building up inside me, as if something, or some one was watching me. As soon as I sat down I felt relief from the tension. Something about the clearing was calming. Maybe it was because of the bubbling creek, or the familiar sound of the frogs, but I was totally relaxed.
I was used to the woods, I used to live near different woods when I was younger. I ventured through the beaten paths of my old forest countless times. Those woods were unlike the woods that I had walked in on this day. There were no paths in that forest. I called it the Untracked. I was always drawn to go into the Untracked, but never managed to gather the time to do so. This was the day that I found the time to venture out a little bit and discover what was held within the forest.

My chapter is so short lol. *does finger guns and awkwardly walks away*
