Chapter 4: ALIVE

"Well everything looks fine, your vitals look normal so there's no reason why we should keep you here."   the doctor says while checking me, it's been roughly a week since I've been in here and still no sign of father. 

"Just don't stress your arm and leg too much remember you are still recovering."  she gives me a smile.

"I will."

"So is anyone coming to pick you up?"  I just give her a sad smile.

"No, I don't want to stress anyone."  I was lying through my teeth I had no one left.

"Okay let me bring your discharge paperwork so you can sign and you will be on your way."  I just nod.

"In the meantime why don't you go get changed I asked the nurse to bring a set of clean clothes for you." 

"Thank you." 

I then went to the bathroom and removed the hospital gown. I had no underwear on and all I could see was bruises all over my body. Some scars look as though they were fully mended some still healing.

I then took the clothes the nurse left me and put them on. I was also grateful that she had gotten me a hoodie and a pair of jeans nothing revealing.

When I left the bathroom the doctor was already waiting for me.

"Okay I just need you to sign here and you are free to go." 

I then took the pen and the documentation and I signed.

"And that's everything but I will need you to return in two weeks so we can check how that arm is healing."  I gave her a nod. 

"Well that's everything you are free to go." 

*****************

The moment I left the hospital a cool breeze hit my face. For a moment there I just stood forgetting about everything the scenery was so tranquil.

I wish I could stay in this moment forever but I knew I had to get going.

The hospital wasn't far away from where I lived so I decided to walk.

My thoughts were everywhere the fact that my dad had disappeared is what was confusing. Did I really see him flying away from his body or is my mind playing tricks on me. 

After a few minutes of walking I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand it was as though I was being watched but everytime I looked back there was no one in sight. 

The feeling didn't go away but I was relieved when I saw my house come into view. 

I was almost inside when I heard my neighbor Getroot call me. I was not in the mood to talk to anyone much less him, he was so nosey and always in people's business. 

"Andrea."  his calls just get louder. I let out a sigh then turn to him with a smile on my face. 

"Hey." 

"Is everything alright?" 

"Oh yes why do you ask?" 

"I heard what happened, is it true that your father disappeared?" 

"What kind of dog was it?" I see it was already out in the public and I'm sure, I'm being ridiculed. 

"I'm sorry I'm tired if you could excuse me." 

"Wai-" I didn't wait for him to finish before I slammed the door at his face. 

I climbed up the stairs and I don't know how but I ended up in my father's room. 

I took off my shoes and climbed on top of the bed. His pillow smelled like him I snuggled further into the pillow. 

"I miss you daddy." I couldn't control my tears, it's truly shocking how one day you have the people you love with you then the next they are gone. 

"Woods."  I heard that whisper again. 

"Woods." 

"What do you want from me!" I yell in frustration I was angry, I was crying. 

"Woods." 

"Leave me alone." 

"Woods."  the voice was louder this time. 

I got up from the bed and sat upright. What was the happening to me what does wood's mean. 

That's when I saw that the pendant was being flashy, when I held it. It somehow managed to make my hand move. 

"Huh?" 

It was pointing towards the door, I tried to remove my hand but I couldn't it was like it was glued in place. So I went to the door. 

Next thing I knew I was heading downstairs. My hand kept changing directions I had no idea where I was going. 

My hand was numb, I have been walking after hours and it's going to be dark soon, I had no idea where I was going, hell I was very scared. 

That's when I came to a hault at a familiar place, I not only wanted to leave there but I had no interest in being in this place ever again, the place where my world was torn away from me. 

I kept walking,When I looked around it was as though nothing had happened here, I passed the spot where I last saw my father. 

That's when I went into the woods, as I was walking I also realized that this was the same direction that the dog had taken when it left. 

Suddenly the pendant was no longer flashing, I could remove my hand from it. 

When I looked around, I was in the middle of nowhere. Everything looked exactly the same I didn't know how the heck I could get out of there. 

I had a clinging sound and when I looked I saw that the pendant was opening up. 

It formed an octagonal shape, with symbols surrounding it, the pendant started shaking vigorously around my neck and then it just stopped. 

"Hello Andrea." 

A voice says and when I looked up it was a woman but it was no ordinary woman, she had a long blue dress on that was glowing, her hair was also blue, her eyes were white and you couldn't really miss the moon and crest that was at the middle of her chest being the same colour as her eyes. 

She made her way over to me, I started going backwards, that's when I looked around and saw that everything was white, the trees were no longer there even the soil everything was white. 

"Do not fear me." 

"w-who are you a-and how d-do you know my n-name?" 

"I am the moon goddesses Andrea." She says with no expression on her face she just stood there looking at me.
