Bianca wished she could try going back. But it seemed impossible. As if there was an invisible force pushing her away.
If there actually is an invisible force that’s holding me back, why? Bianca thought. I just don’t get what is so special about me that they just can’t handle it themselves.
She looked up. Suddenly, she gasped. The sky was spinning, the stars were moving, the moon was shifting, the clouds were scooting away, whatever was holding Bianca back was now preparing for their final attack, to crush her under their power, she would be helpless in their hands….
Bianca…go back home. Bianca more felt it than heard it. Bianca, you have to go home. Now. It’s dangerous in the forest when you are alone, one knows not what has befell them until their fate is proclaimed. You must go now, back home….
As if in response to the unidentified speaker, Bianca stammered, “I-I can’t. Something…it’s holding me back.”
If you can’t go back then I will guide you…come and meet me. Here are your directions. Follow the stream until it reaches the river. Then follow the river until the river meets the sky. That is your destination.
