《Otherworld?》Chapter 1: Otherworld?
Advertisement
I found myself running for my life in a forest in the middle of nowhere... from an animal or should I say a beast that is about 2 feet tall that bare similarities to a rabbit, with long ears and fast legs, except it has a horn protruding on its head, with sharp long claws and teeth, and glowing red eyes staring at me intensely while chasing me non-stop around the forest.
Not knowing where to go or how to escape this wild beast, I just kept running hoping that someone would save me or at least think of something to prevent getting attack or get eaten by this crazy rabbit...
Now, you're probably wondering how or why I ended up in this situation right about now so let's go back to an hour ago before this all happens.
Here I am, a really excited 15 yr old girl on her first summer vacation after entering High School, about to go on a week-long camping trip with my group of friends.
It was 5am & I just finished preparing everything for our camping trip including sleeping bag, extra blanket, waterproof tarp, rope, foldable chair, small 1 person tent, clothes enough for a few days, a pair of swimsuits, towel, wash cloth, Kleenex, toilet paper, first aid kit, soap, shampoo, hiking boots, extendable fishing pole, tackle box, camping pot & frying pan, tongs and steel BBQ sticks for grilling, lighter, matches, flashlight, multipurpose Swiss knife, kitchen knife, steel cup, plate, fork & spoon, soy sauce, salt, sugar, packets of tea and instant coffee, a small bag of rice, cellphone and a small solar charger, all packed in my backpack with the pot and pan hanging on a carabiner on the each side. It's pretty heavy, I know but they're all necessary items for camping.
I also have already prepared some sandwiches packed in a separate cooler bag with a few bottle of water, Gatorade & pop as well as some snacks including granola bars, chocolates and candies.
I didn't bring any raw food since it was agreed that one of my friends whose family owns a meat/butcher shop is going to bring fresh meat in an ice packed cooler. Another friend is going to bring firewood as well as coal for cooking.

I'm more than ready for a fun camping trip or so I thought... oh how wrong I was, now looking at down from a tree I happened to climb without even noticing while trying to shake off the rabbit.
We were planning on meeting up in downtown in front of the train station that we're gonna take to the camping ground. It takes about 2 hours on the train and then transfer to a specific bus for another 30 minutes to get to the camping area. To get there, first, I have to walk a couple blocks from the school dormitory to the bus stop and take a bus to the train station.
I waited at the bus stop for a bit and since it's still pretty early, the sun still hasn't come out yet. It's pretty foggy but the weather forecast says it's going to be a sunny day. I was the only one there and a second later, I saw the bus coming. I said to myself...
"This bus is pretty early. It's not supposed to come for another 10 mins... weird?" Tilting my head a little and raised an eyebrow.
Ignoring the arrival time, I looked at the bus and it's the right one. It indicates on the top that it's heading to the train station in downtown. I thought that, since it's here, might as well just go now.
So I did end up boarding that bus. I was the only passenger there, so I thought I was pretty lucky since I can just sit wherever. Works for me since I'm carrying all the heavy camping gears, and I can just put it beside me on the vacant seat.
Looking out the window, the bus started to move. No one came on the bus during the time and next thing I know, we're already close to the station. I'm getting off on the next stop so I pulled the bell and the bus finally came to a stop and opened its door.
I said my thanks to the bus driver while getting off the bus and on my last step down, I blink and all of a sudden, the view changed to that of a forest.......

"What the f***?!?!" I yelled...
"What the hell...?! And where the hell am I?!?" I said while still confused...
I looked around, tried blinking again and again and all I see are still the same view. Trees everywhere, the warm sunlight penetrates the gaps in between the leaves of the trees. I can only hear birds and animal sounds from a distance. It doesn't matter where I look, all I see are tall thick trees, leaves scattered everywhere, thick roots coming out of the dark brown soil, bushes, plants, flowers & vines are the only other things I can see.
I pinched my cheeks until it hurts so much that I don't think this is a dream... How the hell did I ended up here, when I'm pretty sure the last view I saw in front of me when I was getting off the bus was the sidewalk with an underground passage to the train station just a moment ago. I'm really confused right now... I can't think straight...
Looking from left to right and behind me was a big tree... it was supposed to be a bus you know... dammit...
"I'm lost..." while saying this I realize the most important thing that I forgot...
"I forgot to bring a compass!!! Dammit~" I yelled again... Nothing can be done now since it's too late, I thought to myself.
"I wonder if I can use the sun as a compass... Sun rises to the east so... let's go North..." still unsure of what to do I continued
"I don't know if it'll work since I'm not really sure how this works... oh well, got to find someone or at least find a road or a river to follow. Let go north for now."
Looking up, it's hard to see the sun since the trees are in the way but I somehow can tell from the sunlight and shadow of the leaves where the sun is, so base on that...
"I should head this way~" pointing to a direction still unsure if it's the right path, I started walking there.
All of a sudden I heard a rustling sound from the bushes and out came a rabbit... a biiiiiig rabbit... and what the hell, it has a horn... I thought,
"Did someone glued that horn on it, poor thing..." I pity the rabbit for a second
Looking at it closely, it has long claws, maybe around 2 inches and it was making a hissing/growling sound at me while staring with its mouth open I can see some really sharp nasty looking teeth. I wonder...
"Does any breed of rabbits actually resemble this thing here?? I have a really bad feeling about this..." my heart started to pound harder as I was staring at it...
It looks like it's going to pounce on me anytime soon. My instinct says run... and looking at the situation, I think I should really follow my instinct here...
I started running as fast as I can on the opposite direction where that rabbit was. It started chasing after me at a fast speed... aaaaaand back to the present here, where I only realized I managed to climb a tree without noticing. I guess when you're scared shitless, you can do some amazing things.
I managed to climb a tall tree with my big backpack and cooler bag in one hand. 'How?' I would ask myself that but I have more pressing matters to attend to.
That big ass rabbit is trying to jump up on the tree I was at... scary...

Falling from Earth
He won. He defeated Fate. He took his life into his own hands, the only way he knew how. He killed himself. ......................... He cheated. Fate cheated too. He didnt die. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a amateur writer. English is my first language. I appreciate it when people point out grammar issues. I also appreciate constructive critiques. I'm writing this mostly because I've read so many novels on here that i feel that I should give back to the community. Will be at least a chapter a week. Every Friday. I keep a buffer of 3 chapters, so if i get on a roll and write more chapters, there will be more updates. My chapters will be at least 3000 words, prologue excluded. I'm shooting for more like 6000 words a chapter, mostly because i never like how small the chapters are in most novels on here. Not enough MEAT. Oh and comments that touch my heart get me excited to write. Just figured that out.
