Blood Feud Chronicles: Woods of Levenor
What is happening? Where am I? Who is there? What do they plan to do with me? These were the questions that every abductee asks himself or herself. It is all they can ask before they are ether rescued or are killed, or at least that is what I asked when I was taken by someone I thought I could trust.
Chapter One
"Come on Jim keep up." I yelled as I raced down the path to the place I had seen the cave drawing.
"Well could you slow down a little?" Jim asked as I stopped to let him do just that. "Why are you in a hurry to get there?" He finished as he caught up.
"You know how some people around here like to destroy things that aren't theirs." I answered looking over in the general direction of where I wanted to go. "This way." I said quickly as I took off again.
"Thanks for letting me catch my breath." Jim said as he caught up to me. "What is that?" He asked as I bolted for it with out thinking.
"Get back to my house and call the Cops." I said as I raced to the shipping container that was on one end. Hopefully the end that didn't open. "Is any one in there?" I yelled as I pounded on the side.
"Who's there?" A voice asked on the other side of the wall.
"My name is Willis. Are you alright? How long have you been in there?" I asked with my ear pressed to the container.
"I don't know." The voice responded as I started to go to a place that I could check out the top. Thankfully the end that was up was the end that could be opened. "Can you hear me?" I yelled at the top of the container. "I'm opening up the container to try and get to you." I yelled as I opened the doors. The stench was near unbearable. Luckily I hadn't eaten all day otherwise I would have added to the discomfort of the person in the container. I looked around quickly to try and find something to lower into the container to try and help then out. Luckily there was some rope. "Are your hands tied o free?" I asked before I was going to throw the rope in.
"I'm tied to a chair." The voice responded.
Crap. I thought as I looked at the rope in my hands. "I'm coming down to help get you out of there." I yelled as I walked over to a nearby tree to tie the rope around. As I returned to the container I decided to ask for the persons name. "What is your name?" I asked as I tossed the rope down into the container.
"Arilyn." The voice responded.
"Arilyn I'm coming down." I said as I got ready to come down into what ever was down there that made the thing smell almost like death.
Chapter Two
"Willis what were you thinking going into a place like that?" My mom yelled at me.
"Oh lay off him honey. He did the right thing." My dad said defending me.
"He could have caught something that could kill him." My mom continued to yell as the doctor came in with a tray of syringes.
"So I hear you jumped into a sewage tank. Not as reckless as I expected with you but it was still dumb." The doctor said as he pickup an antibiotic and one of the syringes.
"Hey if I hadn't then she might be dead right now." I said defending my 'stupidity'.
"Well I can't argue with that but it was still reckless." The doctor said as he injected the drug into my arm.
"Thank you for sticking up for me doctor." My mom said in her usual stuck-up way.
"Excuse me is Willis in here?" An officer said through a slightly opened door.
"Yes he is but he is currently receiving treatment right now." The doctor said as he put a bandage on my arm.
"Yes well the girl is awake and wants to talk to him." The cop said as he closed the door. "And we still need to get his statement." The officer finished as he closed the door all the way.

"Hello Willis." Arilyn said as I walked in blushing slightly. Now that she was clean I could tell that she was quite beautiful. Her brown hair barely reached her shoulders her eyes were a deep green like a calm lake on a sunny day, and her voice like a forest filled with singing birds. "Are you alright your face is red?" She asked as I looked at my feet. Nearly nineteen and never having a girlfriend what else would you expect a boy to do but blush.
"Yeah I'm fine just a little embarrassed." I said mumbling the last four words.
"I don't blame you. Most of the boys back home..." Her voice trailed off as if she didn't want to share anything about her past with me.
"Hey you don't have to push yourself right now if you want me to I could come back later after you are... you know ready to talk." I said trying not to stumble over what I was saying.
"No I need to talk to you about something important. Could you please close the door?" Arilyn asked I hadn't noticed that I had left it open.
"Sure." I responded as I turned and closed the door. "So what do you need to talk to me about?" I asked as I heard the door lock. Oh crap. I thought as I tried to unlock it.
"It won't unlock till I tell it to." Arilyn said as she moved her hair away from her ears. They came to a point like an Elf's.
"What are you?" I asked slightly frightened about both the answer and what she might do to me. Did she think that I had locked her down in that thing, or did she want to take me hostage so that she could later kill me and go back to her people? I honestly didn't know.
"I think you know what I am as for your other fears: No I know you didn't lock me in that thing, no I don't believe in shedding innocent blood, yes I want to return to my people, and I want to reward you for want you did for me." Arilyn said her voice as sweet as before. "What is your heart's desire?" she asked as my knees gave out.
"To tell you the truth I don't know what I want right now." I responded trying to stand.
"Then let me give you something that will help you one day." She said as she kissed me. A strange sensation flowed through my body when it left I couldn't even feel most of my body. "There if you ever need anything else don't be afraid to ask." She said as she walked over to the window he original clothes restored. "Good bye Willis may the Fates let us meet again." Arilyn said as she jumped out the window disappearing into the night.
Chapter three
I woke up three days later in a room at the hospital. The first thing I did was look in a mirror to see what Arilyn had done to me. Luckily my outer appearance hadn't changed, but I felt lighter. I may not have looked it but I felt the difference. At the time I thought it was because of the fact that a girl had kissed me but I know now that was not the case. I was thankful for the fact that I had not been physically changed just how my body felt. There was another side effect. I felt like I was being drawn not just to the forests and wildernesses of the world but to nature in general. I hated the shoes on my feet so I removed them. The cold floor made the feeling worse I needed to get out of the building. The window maybe I can get out through it. I thought as I walked across the room. I looked out the window once I reached it and made the decision not to jump. The room I was in was on the top floor a jump like that was suicide, but the next thing I knew I was flying through the air well it wasn't flying I was falling and only hoping that death was quick. To my surprise my body absorbed the shock of the landing and I was running as fast as some of the cars were driving.
