It's scary hereeeeeeee!!!

This had not been one of her best ideas. Coming here had been an absolute mistake. It was apparently forbidden for a reason. Her curiosity had made her do this... and now she regretted it.

Arms were folded over her chest, though her right arm was lifted slightly so she could bite the nails off of her left fingers. Her normally happy orange-red eyes were now filled with fear and her stomach twisted. It was so dark here... the trees here weren't anything like the ones in the other forest. Those trees were green, healthy, alive, and seemed so friendly... but these, these trees she didn't even want to think of how to describe them.

They were the exact opposite, though, that was for sure. Dark and twisted; the fox-girl wondered if these were even trees at all. They weren't shaped like them... and some of the branches were sharp. It was odd that they were so lifeless, and yet, they seemed to be looking at her.

Nyuu took a deep breath, leaning against one of the younger, less sharp trees. She was lost. Hopelessly, helplessly, utterly, completely, absolutely lost. She looked back in the direction she had come from, wondering if going that way would help her get back to the school.

For now, though, she was stopping. She sat down on the ground, pulling her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around her legs, with her tail swishing back and forth. "Nyuu...." she said in a hopeless, slightly pathetic, tone of voice.

The girl took a few deep breaths, trying to keep herself from absolute panic. That wouldn't help. She would only start running in circles, and she would probably only end up hurting herself. Plus, wasting her energy in a place like this probably wasn't a good idea...

When she saw someone else, at first she scampered backward, terrified. However, upon realizing it was a person, she smiled widely and ran to him, immediately beginning to explain in her own words what had happened.

"NYUUU!! Nyuu nyuu nyuu nyuu! Nyuu, nyuu, nyuu! Nyuu nyuu! Nyuu?" She looked at him, wondering if any of that was understandable.

Nyuu sighed in desperation. Movement time. "Nyuu," she said, pointing a finger at him in a way that said 'watch'.

She started walking away, then stopped after about a yard. She looked around and jumped in circles, going in all different directions. She then pointed to the trees and the tree she had stopped by, then pointed back to him with a smile.

"Nyuu!" She then paused, walking back to him. "Nyuu nyuu?"

Nyuu's shoulders slumped forward. Well, at least he had understood that part. She bit her lip, thinking of another way to explain this.

An idea hit her and her face brightened. The thirteen-year-old looked around and she grabbed the smallest stick she could find, crouched down, and began to draw.

First, she drew a little rectangle on a line, and some circles on some lines. She then went on to draw a straight line, drawing more of those circles on lines along the one major line.

After a while, the major line began to twist and turn, and now there were trapezoids on the lines instead of circles. She highlighted one of these little things, making it darker than the others. She put in two rather dark dots next to it, then scribbled out the other line she had drawn.

She put a bunch of question marks around the one dot, then drew a smilie face. Nyuu looked to Krin with a smile, hoping that would explain it.

Nyuu whined. They weren't people!! They had been trees!!

This obviously wasn't going to work. She smudged out her previous drawing with her foot, drawing a square in it's place. She drew triangles on top of the square and little rectangles inside of it. She then drew a few more question marks, looking at him.

She really hoped this would work... she really did need to learn English.
