Chapter 5 by JAJ

What now?

Luna almost loses everything

Internally Luna curses at herself for not noticing the root, but she needs to catch this creature. At all costs!

Luna runs again, looking out for every obstacle, so she doesn't end up naked. But she had to keep up a certain to keep up with the creature, so when she encounters a fallen tree, she tries to jump over it, without thinking of the possible outcomes. A fatal mistake, because she doesn't manage to actually jump over it, she kind of jumps against it, because her leg gets caught in the air, which leads to her crashing in the thicket right behind it. She tries to get up, but can't.

Not because she is hurt, but because her clothes are caught in the thicket, like they were a part of it. Luna panics! She frantically tries to get her shirt and tie as well as her socks and necklace. She tries everything, while she sees the creature fly off. _No! I have to capture it! _Luna thinks.

She quickly slides off her socks, tie and necklace, before pushing herself up in a standing position. She ignores the ripping sound, that announces to her that her shirt is staying behind as well. Hopefully, I'll stay in my underwear! Luna calms herself.

The forbidden forest, however, had other plans than letting her escape in her underwear.
