Chapter Text
When Alex woke up, the first thing that she noticed was that she was laying on the ground. The second thing she noticed was that it was nighttime. The third thing she noticed was the trees. She was surrounded by massive redwood trees, scaling high into the night sky.
Alex sits up and looks around. The only thing that see could see were the redwood trees. Not a damn thing else.
Alex stands up and looks down at herself, her light blue jeans had mud splattered around them. And her dark grey hoodie seemed to be intact, aside from a little mud.

She quickly scarfs down the food and drinks half of the water, putting the last half of the bottle in her hoodie pocket. Before continuing her walkAlex thought about how strange it was that she magically found food when she was hungry. Could it have been a coincidence? Or is there some other force at play here? Or perhaps she has some kind of magical power? No that would be ridiculous. Something had to have put that food there right?
Alex’s thoughts are interrupted by the sound of a twig snapping somewhere behind her. She whips around to find…
