The forrest gates

Prolougue

Abela had been having dreams, well nightmares, for the last 2 weeks. Every night, it would be the same. But the thing was these weren't happy dreams about princess frogs, these were nightmares, nightmares that scared Abela out of her mind. Every night she would rest in bed, the trees howling in the wind, the bushes bashing her window. She'd sit in bed, scared of the night to come. The breeze form the back door would push her door open and it would creak and bang, then there would be a sound from the kitchen when there wasn't any one there. This was just the beginning of her terrifying nights. She'd try to stay awake, to avoid the nightmares, but she's sleep every time. Oh how she hated it!

Abela woke on the sodden wet ground in a small clearing, outside a gate, an old tattered gate. She lifted her self up and looked around. The Forrest seemed suffocating, no air escaped the thick canopy. The Forrest was dark and eerie, with a sense of forbidding, a sense of danger. She took a step forward then heard a low growl from behind her, petrified, she turned to see the opposer. She gasped as she saw a wolf, a shaggy wolf with strong muscles, a snarling mouth with razor sharp teeth but most frightening of all, were the blood red eyes. Abela was frozen to the spot, frozen in all her terror. The wolf was not far from her, and the wolf started to advance. It took a few seconds for Abela to see what was happening in all her fear, but just as she was about to turn and run, she felt a painful bite on her leg. She felt the blood streaming down her leg, and she screamed out on pain. She then ran, ran as fast as she could. She didn't know were she was going, she didn't care, just so long as she was safe. She ran through the suffocating Forrest, fast as she could, with the wolf on her trail. Suddenly Abela found herself been flung in the air and crashed to the ground, she must have tripped. She watched with horror as the wolf came closer and closer, snarling and glaring down with the petrifying eyes.

At this time every night, a dog's nose would come and awake her. Her bed sheets would be covered in sweat as was her body. She would shake in bed till the morning came, not going to sleep. It happened every night now, she didn't know why.
