Jessika POV

I ran as fast as I could along the pathway, the thoughts of Robin and the others clouding my mind. I then heard rustling in the bushes around me. I stopped and looked around. I could sense I was being followed. "Who's there"? I called out.

Suddenly, a thick arm wrapped around my neck from behind me and everything went pitch black.

Mac POV

Wait.

This place did look familiar.

As I sped passed the trees after the wolf, I realised I had actually passed this way before. Wait, don't tell me.

Oh god, I just went in a giant circle. I let out a string of swear words as I acknowledged my stupidity.

The scent got stronger though as I continued to run. I realised that I was a few hours away from Morgiana, the place I had bought the wolf. Wait...could that mean...

I stopped dead when I came to a clearing. It was on the yellow path I had taken from Morgiana to the forest.

Bodies were scattered all over the ground. Both elf soldiers and human beings. Mostly children. There were about two guys there around my age.

The elves seemed practically dead while the people were still quite alive but seemed weak and unable to move.

One guy who was leaning against a tree had long white hair and dressed in similar clothes to the ones I had seen from Morgiana. He held a large staff on his lap, and he looked up to me, his piercing azure eyes boring into mine.

His gaze then slid passed me and to the wolf who had run ahead of me earlier, and was now licking the other boy around my age dramatically.

"What happened here "? I asked, squatting down to the white haired dude's height, as he was sitting on the grass.

"You must be him...you brought Stormy back". He replied.

"What? Stormy"? I raised my eyebrows when I looked back at the wolf. " Oh...so your his owner"?

"No. I don't know where she is. The girl you are looking for. She left when our backs were turned, or she could have been kidnapped. You have to find her".

My eyebrows creased in confusion. "Are you talking about this mistress this dog's been going on about"? I sighed. "Of course. That's why he led me here. I don't have time for this".

The guy looked surprised for a moment. "You are Mac are you not "?

My eyes widened. "How did you know that, are you psychic or what"?

His expression softened. "I dont think you understand. Didn't Stormy tell you? I'm talking about your friend, Jessika. She is Stormy's mistress".

Hey!

So what do you think happened to Jessika? Any idea which fairytale character Mac is?

You probably wont figure it out just yet but maybe further into the story. But I would love to see who you all think he is!

I have uploaded a new book on Wattpad called 'The Underdog' and it's an apocalypse story with a bit of a twist. It's on a more darker and serious note than Twisted so if you are into that kind of thing, I'd love for you to check it out!
