The weather was so nice today, he thought. And get up from sitting on his bed. Grabs a towel from his walk in closet and went inside the bathroom for a refreshing bath.
I will go explore the forest today and paint a landscape, I heard there's a waterfall and a lake nearby but I hope I won't get lost. He was lost in thought while showering in the bathroom.
Kai finishes his shower quickly. The towel was wrapped around his waist as water was dripping from his hair down to his muscular body.
** some time later **
He finished dressing up and was ready to leave, he took glance at the clock 7:00 am, how early it is but it's quite good the view is a sight to behold. Grabbing a few sandwich and tucking them inside his coat pockets.
He quickly walk towards the door, unlock it and locks it outside, sliding the keys in his pockets then stroll towards the misty and foggy green forest.
There are lots of large trees, grass are thick and dances as the wind blows, the light makes the place looks ethereal and so magnificent. He was in awe but keep on walking and didn't notice that he was in deeper part of the forest, the way home was very hard to find. But he didn't mind getting lost.
I should have brought my camera with me.. he sigh in annoyance.
There was a silhouette of a fox from the distance. It was staring at him, piercing through his soul. He was taken a back, "what was this feeling?" He thought to himself and the fox looks really familiar.
White as a snow, but it sparkles as the sunlight shone on its furr. Just like a silver moon fox, something he always saw in his dream. What a coincidence...
He continued venturing into the forest, while admiring the scenery, tall grass, green lush and anemone flowers everywhere.
The fragrance filled the air. It was soothing and refreshing. I should have brought a basket with me, he mumbled to himself as he pluck one flower.
He look at the fox once again but to his dismay, it was gone as if it was never there.
There was a wolf howling which send shivers down to his spine. He look behind him and then he realized that he had gone to far and the way back home is impossible to find. It's getting dark.. how quickly time goes.
He spotted a cave nearby, he swiftly went inside to hide. And startled as he felt something behind him. "F*ck" , he cursed his luck, without even knowing that behind him was the fox he was looking for.
The fox sniffles and in circle him, then there was recognition in the fox eyes. It wags its tail in front of him and gracefully lay down on his lap.
"Do you know me little fox?" He asked as if the fox could answer him, he was so surprised it lay down on his lap. The fox sniffles him again and he was tempted to touch its snout, it twitch in response and glares at him which makes him chuckle.
Interesting he thought.
His lips twitched a bit, as if that fix can answer me. Am I going insane?
"...."
There's no other noise outside it's like that wolf howling was never there to begin with. He then look around and inspect the surroundings and noticed that there's a pond inside. And there's a faint light in the water. Many precious stone scattered around the pond, and the cave corner. He recognized some ruby, sapphire and emerald. He was in awe as he pick up one of these stone. It's a real ruby, he gasp in amazement.
"Wow I never thought there's precious stone here." He then look at the fox who's so comfortable on his lap. You're enjoying your nap aren't you, he thought. I wonder if you're female or male... then he checked it and was dumbfounded. The fox was a female!!
Why do I feel like a perverted man, his expression turned grim. But as he glance back at the sleeping fox. It's just too adorable, his heart melted.
He decided to pet it, furr so soft and smooth.
Then he leaned into a large stone and relaxes himself. I won't interrupt you from your nap lil fella. We'll just rest for a while, I'm tired of walking, he thought to himself and closes his eyes. Then he drifted into sleeping.
"...."
"...."
( some time later )
Kai woke up in an unfamiliar place, he stared at the stone ceiling and then at the cave entrance, it was dark outside. He flinched and blink his eyes, his long curly eyelashes flutter.
And he stared down to his lap where it felt empty. Did the fox really leave him alone??? When did it wake up and why he doesn't feel anything, he's a light sleeper. It would have woken him up if he felt the fox move away from him.
Then he look around and noticed that there are a lot of fresh fruits near the pond and a warm bonfire near the cave entrance. I didn't notice that earlier, he thought. Who would put up a fire here? And the fruits.. it wouldn't be the fox. It would be too weird. It's not a human but a fox.
He shakes his head in disbelief. What am I even thinking? A fox, can do all these? If there was someone else here then it's possible but there's none. Just me... he sighed and get up, walk towards the pond and sit down to picked up a fruit.
I can't possibly go home at this hour, it's already dark and many dangerous animals are lurking around in the dark. I might as well stay here for the night. It's getting really hot I need to dip in the pond for a while. Then he began to strip himself naked not knowing about the pair of eyes watching him admiring his body.
He let out a relief sigh as he dip himself in the water, so refreshing. I might as well enjoy my time here. It'll take me a few days to find what I was looking for.
He felt like he was being watch and he look at the cave entrance but find nothing. Maybe I was just hallucinating that someone else is here. This is the well known dangerous forest. No one would dare come here at night unless they wish to become a meal. I think I'm safe inside this cave. There are quite a few vines that covered the cave entrance. No one can see me inside, he thought.
Then he stands up and pick up his clothes. I might as well dry myself with my shirt. I really don't need it cause I'm comfortable without any shirt on while sleeping.
After he wipes himself dry, he put on his clothes.. but only his underwear and pants. He made his shirt as pillow and lay down. He makes himself comfortable before drifting off to sleep. Tomorrow.. I'll try to find my way home.
