Little Willow leaf woke up today to the sound of many flapping wings and un natural screeching sound from above her.
She opened her eyes and felt fear settle in her being, it was still dark. perhaps if she closed her eyes again it would be morning. No such luck.

She couldn't fall asleep again, the sound of tiny wings and screeches bothered too much to actually fall into slumber. She looked up towards the sky and saw the many black little bird like creatures flying all around her. She ran.

After hiding into a patch of tall grass to calm down a bit after her ordeal she took time to actually look around her. Giant mushrooms?

Why were there giant mushrooms all around the forest? That wasn't normal. Neither was green scaly pelt of peacoc feathers.

She sat there in the grass for a long while before finally brawing this strange night time forest around her to walk to the pond for a drink.

Some time after this while Willow leaf was walking trough the forest and trying to find a place without those bat creatures to sleep the night away, she was being followed by a stranger.

The stranger (That she later learned to be Zach ) kept following her from a distance, but didn't come closer to her when she hid from him in the grass. and after some careful examining, she finally braved all odds and approached the stag before her.

It was a strange feeling, meeting an adult deer that agreed to play with her. They had a fun time moving about in the forest, and meeting new people felt easier when Willow leaf had someone to hide behind if she was too afraid to come and meet someone.

All in all, Willow leaf made many new friends today, and hopefully they will allow her to run and hide behind them if she ever feels that braving the world is too much for some day.
