Chapter 3 - Not Like Them

You're pov))

 I don't like school anymore ever since my siblings eat the golden apples the whole school likes them and yet they act differently to me it's gotten even worse now that all my siblings have graduated. Something bad happens I'm the one to blame someone bullies me I'm the one being mean to them it got so bad just started skipping school. 

 Mom would drop me off in town so I'd start walking to school till she was out of sight then I go to the only place I feel ok, not good just ok. Maybe this is all just part of being 17 I'm not sure but I know I don't want to deal with the people at school. The woods from afar look scary but once you're in there it ok at least I know no one from town is in here.

 I've been exploring these woods for 2 years the first year I was just getting used to it but this year I want to know the ins and outs of this place. Just in case someone has the nerve to come in here to start trouble with me. Today I found a small clearing it was a slight hill but flowers were growing here unlike most of the wood thorns and spider webs and sometimes swamp patches. I've only seen one deer here most are bugs and birds. 

 Actually, Some of the trees around the meadowy hill look like they were struck down. On top of the hill was a stone statue looks like a skeleton in clothes it was weird but interesting. I decided to make this the hangout spot the trees are far enough apart that the sunshine covers the whole meadow.

 I may not seem it but I'm very athletic I can climb from tree to tree if I need to like if someone enters the woods I can stay out of sight and still follow them to see why their there.

 I've been hanging around the statue for a month now it's gotten cold but the grass in the meadow is still green. But now that I think about it the grass around the statue is surrounded by buttercups which didn't make sense seeing as it's fall. 

 I just thought it was because of me because the plants near the family apple tree never went out of season even when it snowed. Someone enter the woods luckily I was already in the trees I watch and listen. It was one of the girls who always get me in trouble for things she did I don't remember her name.

???: Marey we shouldn't be here you know the legend the king lives in these woods...

Marey: I don't care my sources tell me their in here who else is going to take the fall for what I do, besides it's just a legend wouldn't the all "Mighty King of Nightmare" live in dreams? The legend makes no sense anyways.

 I follow them up in the trees they end up finding the meadow with the statue I heard them say ew but I couldn't make out anything else. I got pissed when I saw Marey Put her feet on the statue I heard her tell the other one to help break it. My heart dropped I was attached to that statue my only friend sad I know.

 I jump down the tree and ran kicking her down.

Y/N: DONT TOUCH IT. Leave if you want your bones intact.

I said I was athletic, not strong or a good fighter they both over powered me even though they got me to the ground they didn't stop till I lay there limp knocked out by the statue's feet.

?????: Hey you need to wake up! Hurry before he finds you here!-

I jolted up. not. I sat up in pain I realized I was sitting against the statue I pull out my phone cracked probably from being kicked. it was seven at night my mom texted me telling me she'll be late but should be there by 8 pm. I could stay here a little longer but I have this weird feeling I should leave now. 

I grab the shoulder of the statue to help me get up and stabilize myself enough to walk back to town but I heard a crack from the statue and I jump back then checked it hoping to damage the statue I didn't see anything so it should be fine. after that I left. Once I got out of the woods and headed to town I felt as if I was being watched.
