Enigma Of The Woods CHAPTER ONE: WHAT'S LEFT ISN'T RIGHT
JETT’S POVIt was a sudden transition from darkness to light, some would anciently refer to it as having visited ones forefathers. I stumbled out of my bed like a one legged drunkard. The floor, I found myself on the floor; I hit something. Looking back I realized I had fallen over after bumping into a pile of clothes I had left unattended to for lifetimes. No time to waste, I thought as I got up to clean myself up.Looking into the mirror I saw a face I’ve never seen before, the blue eyes that glowed in the dark had faded like a dying star, the natural brownish blonde hair was browner than usual, and trust me it wasn’t naturally browner. It was long and unkempt and concealed most of my face. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone was to suspect me for being a criminal. I picked my toothbrush to dig into the gold mine on my face when I noticed my once trimmed pink lips had turned pale and chapped. Basically, I looked older than I remembered and obviously more unkempt. Of course I would,
Enigma Of The Woods CHAPTER 2: WHAT'S RIGHT ISN'T LEFT
JETT'S POVAs we began running we felt something behind us but we couldn’t make a shape of it. It was dark in the forest so we couldn’t see it properly. It was gaining up on is. I could tell because I could hear it’s heavy breathing and smashing of trees draw closer and closer to us. I was feeling something. I knew this feeling. I was sweating profusely, my pulse skyrocketing, my limbs trembling and moving of their own will, my insides hot but freezing on the outside… It was Fear. I was afraid but not for my life or so I think. I was afraid that I’ll be the only one to me it out alive.Just then, the ‘best’ outcome possible happened. Gryffin fell.‘Help!!’ he cried out looking at Tess, the girl of his dreams, who didn’t even bother to turn around.‘No, don’t!!,’ Ravi yelled at the gallant hero Ethaine who ran back to help Gryffin up.At a point it seemed like they’d make it until Gryffin’s head was sent flying over our heads and Ethaine’s inside was spread across the floor and his hea
Enigma Of The Woods CHAPTER 3: THE BEGINING OF THE END
JETT'S POVI was walking past the shopping mall when I saw a large crowd gathered around the fire escape at the side of the mall building. There were also sirens blaring loudly. I didn’t want to check it out but something fault amidst. So I decide to check it out. As I drew closer I heard the murmurs of the crowd grow louder and louder.‘How could she?’‘This was so selfish of her…’As I fought my way through the crowd I started seeing trails of blood on the floor.Then I saw the medics gathering the limbs of the corpse that had scattered on the floor and the head was smashed. Clothes bathed in blood but despite all those I still could recognise that person. I could never take that freckled face for anyone else. It was Tess. The adults started narrating that she had been acting strange since last night and the a few minutes ago she came to the mall with her parents and as they went in to shop she climb the fire escape to the roof and jumped off. I really couldn’t blame her, after exper
Enigma Of The Woods CHAPTER 4: THE END OF THE BEGINNING
JETT'S POVThis time around, as I rode my way to the forest, I got equal amount of stares from the children who were usually preoccupied with playing and the adults from their haven of a house. Surprisingly I didn’t see Ravi. Maybe he had given up on his trying to discourage me.Or so I thought. Standing in front of the forest entrance was Ravi, carefully standing under the sun. He had a frown on his face, now common to me. His arms were crossed and he planted his feet apart, stumping his left foot ever so slowly like an angry father ready to reprimand his incorrigible son.‘You’re wasting your time…’, I said as I got off my bike. ‘If you came to stop me that is’‘Well then I love wasting my time’, he replied sarcastically as he started approaching me. As he reached his hands out to place them on my shoulder he said, ‘ Don’t do this. It’s not worth it’.‘ Are you insane?! My freedom is worth my life cos if I ain’t free then I ain’t alive’. I walked past him and turned around to face h
Enigma Of The Woods CHAPTER 5: A PERPLEXED CAMP
JETT'S POVAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!’, I screamed as I sat up straight on my bed. My heart was pounding excessively and I was drenched in sweat. My body was extremely hot and was naked on my bed. I hope I still had my virginity intact. My arm and legs were back and there was no hole in my abdomen either. I didn’t understand. I couldn’t make heads or tails out of it. Want I just in the woods facing that beast? The Neo Enigma. But more than that I had a huge headache, my head fleet like it'd explode ’t any second and I had a boiling fever.I went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. As I took the shower I was still trying to make sense of what had happened. I couldn’t. I looked hopelessly at the diadem around my neck for any clues but nothing. I got out and luckily the fever was gone but then I was extremely hungry and I had no food at home. I needed to go shopping. As I was stepped out I saw it was yet another sunny day.‘Ouch!!’. The sun burnt mu skin. What the fuck?! Since when? I
Enigma Of The Woods CHAPTER SIX: THE AMBUSH
JETT'S POV I packed up and down my room trying to make sense of what had happened. 'I remember being stabbed and then...', I murmured to myself. I didn't notice what was staring at me each time I walked past mirror that hang to me. I caught a glimpse of red in the mirror. I knew I wore nothing red and coming to that realisation, my heart skipped as I jumped back using my arms as a shield for my face and raising my right leg ready to kick whatever it was. It was red and looked grim. It had a devilish grin like the Neo Enigma but it was different. It's colour was crimson. Blood red. A crimson demon. It had like an eye protector like the ones on the knight armour. It had spikes on the shoulders and its hand continued into blades. It had a torn clothe round its waist that connected to the shadow at its feet. It didn't have feet, they just connected with the bulk of shadows that hovered around its feet. Crimson shadows that I'm sure were solid and touchable. What stood out the most was
Enigma Of The Woods CHAPTER 7: WARM WINTER EMBRACE
JETT'S POVThe night got colder and colder each second. The warm embrace and air that hovered around moments ago was gone... Hopefully not forever. It was after me of course, I had killed one of its own but Gabby was to join me in my grave for just being there. The injustice. Several of my own have been killed and we never hunted them and then one of theirs get killed and they ambush me. I was furious. The Neo Enigma that came after me obviously looked like an assassin. His head was made of mist that had a long tail that bellowed in the windy. It had long arm that had long blades at the end, looked more like a scythe than a limb, no wonder my arm was that easy to discard. He was blue like the others just darker. He was extremely tall. This one didn't look as scary as the others but obviously was dangerous. The wound was not healing? Timoria won't lend me power? I thought as I looked at my lifeless arm that lay there next to Gabby. She was shocked and confused. 'Gabby! Ruuuun!!'As s
Enigma Of The Woods CHAPTER 8: FLATLINE
JETT'S POVI filled the pit with sand; lifeless. I was like a moving puppet; without soul or purpose. I was dead on the inside. I knelt down after having filled out the pit and stared into the dark abyss of nothingness. I could see clearly but all I saw was darkness. I knew I had blood in my veins and organs but I felt hollow and empty. I knew I was surrounded by trees and rocks but it seemed to me like I was floating in a dark sea of blackness. I didn't know what was real and what wasn't. I felt like there was no such thing as time but just a void of nothingness that never seemed to finish. My insides were colder than the night.I didn't cry anymore; I couldn't. I just sat down freezing in the night as I lay at the grave I had prepared for the innocent Gabby. She didn't deserve this. None of them -- us did. 'Hope thou don't misdirect thine angerI did what was neededThou need to chase what thou art afterThine enemy head', the clever Timoria spoke. I wasn't mad at him nor did I bla

CHAPTER 16: TRUCE
***Jett's pov***Preci was standing far off from where I stood. She was afraid of me; I had just killed her father who, for whatever reason, just turned into a Neo Enigma. "Why don't we go home and I'll try and explain", I said while looking around, signalling her that here wasn't the best place."and you'll tell me what happened on our way home".She agreed silently with a nod as she turned around and began walking. After we walked for a while, I decided to break the ice. "So what happened?""My dad tried to rape me... Again", she mumbled. I wasn't sure I heard right, so I looked at her. She nodded softly while biting her lips and avoiding eye contact, she strengthened her grip on the blanket that covered her; she was embarrassed. "He had always done it since we were kids; especially to my sister".I was beyond shocked and heartbroken. What the hell?! Cindy always smiled, I never thought that she would ever have a bad experience. Preci; yes, she always frowned but not the ever che

CHAPTER 15: SECRET REVEALED
***Preci's pov***"Jett! Tell me where she is! Jett!! Jett!!!", I yelled hoping he listens. I was furious, how dare he not tell me what happened to my sister? I flung the can of soda I had in my hands on the floor and screamed while pulling on my hair. Ravi rushed out to see what was going on, "are you okay?", He asked. He was a kind and friendly person to all but to me I didn't really like him. I felt he was too good to be true; he was fishy to me and therefore he always irritated me. I walked away ignoring his phony concern; I went home fuming with anger.As I entered my house, everywhere was dark except my sister's room. Cindy's room light was on. I walked slowly and quietly to the door only to be horrified by the sight I saw. My dad was salivating while sniffing my sister's underwear, he was laying on he bed with one hand holding her underwear and the other in his pants. This sight disgusted me but I wasn't new to it. Since we were little my dad had always harassed us; my sister

CHAPTER 14: MY DAYS ARE NUMBERED
***Jett's pov***I was frozen; how did it enter my room? There they were, all the kids I knew with Ravi standing in their middle. There were ribbons and decorations hanging from window to window, they were colour red. My favourite colour. They all jumped up and shouted, "SURPRISE!!!", As I stepped into the room. "What surprise?!". I was utterly confused. "You dummy", Ravi said, whacking me on the head. "I knew you'd forget... It's your birthday fool!"Are you for real?! I honestly forgot about all that. I had been so busy fighting for my life and losing lives in the process. Even if I remembered, I really didn't believe that anyone would care to remember; let alone throwing a surprise birthday party. I felt warm inside; the same kind I felt as I hugged Gabby that night. I never thought I'd feel like that ever again. What was that feeling? My vision became blurry and I felt tears roll down my cheeks, I tried stopping it but it just kept coming out. Before long I was wailing like a si

CHAPTER 13: PILOT
***Mními's pov***I was looking into pot of soup I was stirring. To the boy it had looked like an old man was stirring a pot of boiling soup but as I stirred the pot I was keeping up the barrier that kept is hidden from all eyes. I wanted to keep our discussion to both of us, for the trees had ears and eyes. I looked at the pot of soup which was now cooling, the smoke rising into the sunny sky from the ashes of the firewood, and then I transformed to my normal form as I turned to my right and there she was; Druantia. She looked vexed. She was standing with her hands on her hips, one leg pacing up and down, and brows furrowed. She always acted elegantly towards every other being there was except towards me, Michael and Brahma. When she was with us she always acted childish, which was to be expected, after all we three were there when she was just a little goddess. She was cute and still looked like a tiny little girl. She would usually come to our late and play around and I and Mich

CHAPTER 12: THE SAVIOUR
***Jett's pov***I lay on the ground wounded. I wasn't gazing at the starry night sky; no. I was awaiting my from death. Anisychía drew closer ready to render the finishing blow. I couldn't move. My limbs had gone numb, and they were bleeding. I felt frozen on the outside; my fingers felt like blocks of ice but I was boiling hot on the inside. The blood filled air didn't ease the pain one bit. He was almost standing above me when it happened. Sand fell from the sky and swallowed me; I couldn't breathe for a while. I felt like I was the sand, like I didn't exist in my body but as the sand. Soon after the sand threw me up from its belly and o fell in the ground. I was shocked. Looking up to my right I saw an old cottage, the house was white but covered with lots of weeds and crawlers. The roof was in its last days as one side leaned toward the ground more than the other. The wooden floors were rotten and the nails very visible. I was sure I was in someone's solitary confinement priso

CHAPTER 11: INSIDE THE FOREST.
Jett's POV"You look different from we do... Why don't you tell me about yourself?", the Neo Enigma said as he began walking towards me. I wasn't scared; I had finished my transformation."My name's Anisychía by the way.""Yeah, I ain't interested", I said with my voice full of ego. I was here for his answers and not to answer any questions. "So why don't you tell me about your boss?"He halted his approach, "I mind not but I'll do so if you agree to tell me about yourself."My silence told him all that I was ready to say. Nothing!!"Well, I'll tell you anyway. We have nothing to loose; you're one versus a while clan. Only in a fairytale can you dream of winning and I'm sure you have realised this by now", He said as grinned even wider, "fairytales don't exist in this from world we live in especially for you feeble kind."I still kept silent, not giving in to his temptations. He was just blabbering to me, no matter how much he went on I'm sure he couldn't get worse than Timoria."My m

CHAPTER 10: THE GREAT BRAHMA
****Mními pov*****We knelt in awe of the Great Brahma. He was the definition of greatness. He had an aura of authority and supremacy, like a true god. He had a huge white eye in the centre of his face. Striations ran from his crown, around his eyes to his teeth. His teeth was visible but not smiling. He had six horns, three horns on each side. The highest one pointed up and outward, the second curved backwards and the lowest one curved downward and forwards. There were threads hanging from the horns, swinging from one to the other. He had ten arms, five on each side. The first three pair of arms were facing palm up with light orbs in their hands. The fourth pair were together as if to be praying. And the last pair was also facing palm up. He had a robe on, it was glowing. His legs were crossed as he floated in the air. The great Brahma was the most powerful being in the entire universe but he was inactive. For some reason he had no fighting ability, most of his power has left him sti

CHAPTER 9: PANACEA
****Mními pov*****On a cold night in the forest, in an undisclosed location we gathered for a meeting. It was like a huge colosseum, the upper area was dark and the faces were not visible just crimson eyes glowing in the dark. In the centre was a blue glowing light and in it was a silhouette of a person. There were four cubiculum's which had a curule chair for each general. I Mními sat in one of them, I was a general. An old one; I was one of the first ones born from the great Brahma who was the figure in the blue glow in the centre of the colosseum. I was old but I was still quite able; I had two long horns that curved downward to the rear, Cyclops eyed and pointy eared. I had worn a torn robe round my waist and had a veil swinging behind me from arm to arm. On one of the other was the furious Perifronisi, standing at his right hand was Anisychía. 'What is happening to your territory, Perifronisi?', Katapíesi inquired. He was one of the generals, one that Perifronisi hated. He was
