Chapter 3: The forest
The first weekend we vary a bit. My aunt had planned an all-day excursion to a nearby mountain.
"We're going, wake up, we're going, Alice woke me jumping on my bed.
- Where? - I asked as I stretched as I could into the bed with her on top.
"At Mount .- I answered her heartily.
- What time is it? - I asked as if he had not heard anything about what I just said.
"Half past ten why? - I answered it.
- Solo, "I yell.
- Do not be vague and arise. I woke up I hora.-half ago I blame her.
- Jo-I complain out of bed while still stretching.
I left the room behind Alice and went skipping into the kitchen where I met the rest of the family.
- The Sleeping Beauty, "laughed my aunt.
- What do you sleep? - I asked my mother while I used the juice. "Well," answered
and drank the juice in one gulp. - Where do we go? I asked as I got up to get some cookies.
- A mountain that is nearby. Let's take the car if you take a pill for motion sickness.
"Okay, answer as I got a cookie in your mouth.
- What am I supposed I have to wear? - Ask when I finished chewing.
-me-not replied my aunt, "Something like that takes your raw, tights and shirt. "It has brought
meshes," said my mother.
"I have mesh-rectified quickly.
- You can wear dark shorts with a shirt .- said my mother.
- What shoes get into the suitcase? - Ask.
-The converse.-me
she said "Okay, answer and nothing else got up and went to the dressing room. As the only shoes he had brought were some roses that look something together. In the end I put a pink shirt and white wide stripes with black letters.
When passing by the bathroom I noticed that my hair had no solution if I picked it up in a half ponytail. And I got a fork in your back pocket if I interfered after the fringe. As I passed a mirror in the hallway I could see the shirt I was wearing just his pants looked beneath.
"But I would be less with the other pants tengo. short-pense.
The rise in car was a bit long, but the scenery was worth it.
"It's a short climb, about 2 miles or so .- inform my aunt as we left the car.
- How is the road? "Said my mother.
- A good chunk is paved, is not a difficult climb .- she said.
- Well we are waiting. - I object to.
- I ask pri. Alicia yelled as she ran up the hill.
- Ten cuidado. "I called my mother.
- I think I can take care of you answer me one .- .- And anyway as I go behind him.
As you had told my aunt the first section of road was a the paved road that had home and walkers. During this stretch he had to go running after Alicia. Because as do the slightest injury faults were to fall on me. Luckily he stopped at the first intersection.
- Why where is it? - I asked looking in all directions.
-not you read, "I answered in a low voice while keeping your hands on your knees and sit up. I went to one of the signs of the crossing. - It says here that the top is just a kilometer to allĂ. "I said pointing the same way that the poster.
- Well, we do not? "He said as he walked her to walk again.
- We have to wait I said resto. hoping that I would listen and stop the truth is that with the pace we had Alice had left the rest far behind. Pretty soon, they had stopped hearing the screams of my mother's care.
- can take an hour to get here. We or you are staying cool .- And nothing else to say it made a run up the road.
caught me off guard and when I tried to catch it was too late. Just a little later the road became divided into two and this time without signaling. I figured I took a road that went straight to the contrary would skid marks on the ground. I went into this trying to remember every detail in case I had to return to the crossing should have taken the wrong way. Before had been an asphalt road full of people who travel. The second section of the road like something out of a story. There was nothing but trees, herbs and lots of wildflowers. In the first corner something scratched my right leg.
-Mierda.
I said to my misma.-Brambles or not.
I bend down to see the cut on my leg. It was not just a superficial scratch. When I looked up I found a landscape very different from a story. A cloud had covered the sun and all you saw were the shadows in the dark. I started to bother me and call my cousin in the hope of finding some response. It was possible that she could run so much. Would have to hear if her name. But Alicia did not answer instead became a terrifying whisper calling my name.
- Crystal, Glass, Glass ... - was a heap of voices heard more terrifying than ever. The feeling of terror got worse when the trees came from a shadow squad as he had seen on the subway. They approached me mumbling things I could not understand. I started to back away without looking back muttering.
"It's not real. It is not real. Can not be real .- my voice was going from a barely audible whisper to a desperate cry for help. At the time of the shadows and touch me I noticed as her cold hand grabbed my shoulder. I started to scream as he had done in my life. In the instant that cry out of my mouth did something not easily forget, something that probably saved my life that day. At that moment my medallion pearl lit up and release an energy wave that came to light throughout the forest and had them shadows march through the darkness.
- Crystal! Crystal! - I called a voice from behind some bushes. But the voice was frightening as I had just heard a moment ago, was the innocent voice of a child.
- Cristal Why are you shouting? - I asked Alicia.
- What? - I replied back to me.
- What were you yelling that? - He repeated it.
- Ah - I replied, thinking something had logic .- I saw a mouse. "That exaggerated
you .- mocked her. "Believe me
gave much miedo." he said in a serious tone and clutching the medallion.
During the rest of the way to the top I returned to find an explanation for what had happened, but I can not think of anything other than what I had imagined and no. He had been very real. He knew what he had seen but never could explain. Alicia
not mention the incident of the mouse at any time when they arrived our mothers. I assumed it was a clever mind enough to know that I did not want to joke, just had to take into account that he had not dropped more than monosyllables after the incident.
corrido.
-As you said my aunt, when he saw us sitting on a rock in the cima. "No we have not seen the whole way.
pale you .- "That was the first thing my mother told me .-" Are you okay?
- If mama, it's just that I have some hunger .- lie was absolutely nothing I did not want to eat in two weeks.
- Quiet that soon we will be eating it .- he said.
silently thanked my aunt said he wanted that we parted of them to fall. As we walked down got to stop thinking in the shadows. And when the rest of the day happened to normal. But that night was very long and heavy. Nightmares in which an army of shadows I caught were repeated throughout the night. In all of them by far no one heard me screaming. But in reality Alicia heard me screaming in his sleep overnight.
"You've been crying all night .- told me over breakfast the next morning.
-A if I do not remember "I lied .- It would only be a bad dream.
- Hurry to prepare that day so good it makes me feel like coming soon to the beach. "We said my grandmother. "It's
well. "I answered.
