Thread: Two Worlds Uniting (Ms_Muff & Rage)

The woods remained silent as Lily hoped that it'd be revealed to all be a prank. How on Earth did this happen? She was just in her room! How could she in a forest now? And what made it feel even weirder was that it was just like her dream, minus the handsome rugged fellow whom she had been chasing. Even the slightest sign of civilization would do at this point. If only she had been as bold as she was in her dream. The woodlands were just an ocean of darkness, the only light provided was from the moonlight and the stars. Lily then looked up. She had never seen the sky outside of the city before... with all of the city lights, she could hardly even see a single start. But here, it was like the sky was just a twinkling mass. The moon even shown more brightly in this place. That was when it hit her. The moon... in the dream. The man was en route towards the moon. She began to wonder if that would bring her somewhere safe, or to someone who could give her answers. As crazy as it sounded, she was going to try it. Granted, this wasn't her dream, but standing around in the open like a helpless deer most certainly wasn't helping her. Immediately, the girl took off, darting into the forest. If only there was a handsome stranger waiting for her, but Lily wasn't that lucky. Anyone out there? Anyone! Lily called as she swerved around trees, following the moonlight, hoping it'd lead her to a safe haven. The forest was thick with trees and shrubs. Who knew what was lurking out there--- what sort of creatures were watching her, ready to take advantage of the defenseless girl. Her breath huffed heavily as she sprinted through the forest as fast as her bare feet on Earth could carry her. She couldn't stop until she knew she was safe. A gust picked up, practically pushing the girl along, hopefully leading her where she needed to be. She hoped the moon would be her guide. Lily came to an abrupted stop as she finally emerged from the thickness of the woods and found yet another clearing. Much to her dismay, there was a river in the way--- the water quickly tricked and splashed down it's determined path. She could attempt to swim through it, but that was quite the swim. The river had to be at least thirty feet wide, and the flow of the river was just rough enough to send the girl trailing down with it. Dammit, Lily muttered to herself. Maybe there was a shallower end! Here's hoping, she whispered before quickly jogging along the river bank. It was just a little off her ill planned path. Maybe she'd even find a bridge, which would lead her to people! As luck would have it, the further down she went, the gentler the flow of the river became. It wasn't long before she found a shallow spot. It was no river, and it was dreadfully rocky with trails of water slithering between rounded boulders, but it'd have to do. Cautiously, Lily took her first step into the river. The water was frigid like ice, but refreshing. Slowly, Lily took careful steps, stretching her legs from boulder to boulder. Yay, I'm doing it! This isn't so bad..., she thought to herself as she began to hop from boulder to boulder, gaining confidence in her progress. But, the careless girl hadn't anticipated the slippery boulder ahead covered in slimy sediments from the river. The second Lily placed her foot onto the boulder, the girl tumbled. She let out a squeak as she hit the icy cold water with a loud splash. Thankfully she had chosen a shallow spot to cross, or else the mighty river would be carrying her down with it. Lily immediately scrambled up onto her feet, now soaking wet and shivering as the cool breeze hit the wet clothin that now clung to her frame. Still, she carried on across the river. The girl slipped and stumbled back into the water a few more times as she lost her footing on the slippery rocks below her. But, she did eventually make it across. Lily tossed herself down onto the ground as soon as she made it to the river bank on the other side. A loud sigh escaped her soft pink lips. Her chests heaved up and down rapidly with exhaustion. What the hell was she thinking?
