CHAPTER 31

When I finally regained my senses from that trip through the portal, I realized that I was lying on the ground, face down but I could hear water near me. I looked up and we were next to the lake with the waterfall.

“Why do you always bring me here?” I asked standing up.

“Because this is the easiest portal to get through.” Layla says standing beside me. She looked completely unscathed by our little trip, but I was assuming that she had done it plenty of times before. This was my first.

“I can’t believe that I’m actually here.” I say looking around.

“Well, you’re not going to believe what you actually have to look forward to then.

She smiled at me. And I looked at her cautiously.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“This is the Mystic Forest that we’re about to go into. Everyone here knows. that your part werewolf so if you’re allowed to shift whenever you want. You can come to the woods whenever you want to shift. Just make sure that you let someone know that you’re here. So, you don’t accidentally hurt someone.” She explained as we started walking towards the forest.

“I have complete control over my wolf. You don’t need to worry about anyone getting hurt. Let people know that. I don’t want them to be scared of me.” I insisted. I was already starting to think that I was going to be shunned by the fae’s because of what I am.

“Alright. I’ll let them know. Because a lot of people hunt in these woods. They like hunting.” She says as we started walking through the woods.

“I don’t suppose you know that TV show ‘ Once Upon A Time’?” I asked.

“We get TV here. We know that show. Everyone here loved it.” She says.

“These woods remind me of those woods.“I say.

“I know. That’s why we didn’t name it the Enchanted Forest. It’s the Mystic

Forest.” She says as we entered the forest and although we were surrounded by trees, it didn’t seem to get any darker. It was still bright in the forest and we could see where we were going, no matter how thick it was.

I was amazed by the beauty of the trees, how green it was, like there was never any drought or disaster to threaten it. It was completely perfect. I stopped to look a strange looking flower that actually moved as I went to touch it. It opened up when I got close enough and it was glowing on the inside.

“There’s a lot that you need to get used to here.” Layla says behind me. And I smile and I kept on walking.
