The Wolf And The Squirrel

          IT WAS an early winter morning in a lost mystic forest. A forest so cold and dark that not even the wildest of the hooligans from the nearby villages and towns would even dare to stay anywhere near that place. The locals would often call it 'The Forest Of The Dead' because it looked so pale and dry from the outside. But the truth was unknown to everyone.

          Deep inside that forest lied the secret, hidden from the world outside. It was lush green and full of life, irrespective of what weather it was outside the forest. Right in the middle of the forest, there existed a white oak tree. Local animals and birds believed that tree was actually the heart of that forest and therefore served as a life-source for them. On the white oak tree, there lived a cute little squirrel whom everyone respected a lot whether if it were the small sparrows or the humongous elephants. Everyone treated her like the queen of the forest and so she was. Life was flourishing inside the lost forest until one morning.

          "So are the rumors true?", one elephant asked another.

          The other elephant elephant answered with a shaky voice, "Yes, a lion has been seen wandering around the outskirts of the forest."

          Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, sparrows had spotted some humans gathering around and suspected them as hunters since they brought the hunting dogs along with them. Something had been killing livestock animals in the nearby villages just for sport. The villagers assumed that the creature who did this must have come from the lost forest. So they made a team which consisted of the brightest of the hunters from across the state and sent it with the job of hunting down the creature.

          It was not so long from then, a sudden chill passed across the entire forest and filled it with fear. But unknown to everyone's knowledge, there was an another life form which had entered the forest. It was an omega wolf. Probably kicked out of his pack and was searching a new place to which he could call home. In his search for shelter, he ended up being in the lost forest. Staying low and away from the sight of others.
       
          As the darkness appalled upon the mystic forest, all the animals and the birds returned to their homes with their hearts filled with fear. Unfortunately, it was at the same time that the hunters with their ferocious hunting dogs and the huge monstrous lion decided sneak up into the forest. Both the hunters and the lion were left astonished and speechless as they gazed upon the beauty of the forest. After a few hours, in search of his next victim, the lion ended up right in front of the heart of the mystic forest and locked his eyes upon the little squirrel sleeping on that tree. But before the lion could make a single move, the hunting dogs reached out to him and blocked his way. Meanwhile, a shot gets fired.

          "It's here!", one the hunters screamed and in the blink of an eye, the others reached out to that spot too.

          The bullet hit right at his shoulder and the lion stumbled. The hunting dogs didn't waste a minute killing he lion and tearing him down to pieces. All this noise woke up the squirrel and the scene before her eye filled her with fear. The hunters after being able to kill the beast started cheering up but the hunting dogs didn't just stop there. They had caught another scent. It was the scent of the squirrel who was just sitting on tree, all frozen up and filled with fear. The wolf who had entered the lost forest this morning was watching and observing this entire scene, keeping his distance from everyone else. The dongs start rushed towards the tree but before they could do anything, the wolf jumped out the bushes, blocked their way and started growling at them. A ferocious battle took place in between the wolf and the dogs. The wolf managed to overpower the dogs and scare them off but at the cost of his broke leg. He could hardly stand on his feet, but this was not the end. Another shot gets fired and a sudden chill passed across the forest. The wolf was hit and barely alive. The hunters assumed they killed the wolf and started cheering up.

          All of a sudden, the tree which local animals often considered as the heart of the forest started glowing up. It was so bright that the hunters couldn't even see each other. The squirrel came down of the tree, moved over to the wolf and the wounds of the wolf gets completely healed with just a single touch of the squirrel. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the hunters' memories get erased regarding this event, they simply walked out of the forest where their hunting dogs had been waiting for them and never looked back at the forest even once. The squirrel went back on the tree and it stopped glowing. The wolf got up and vanished into the bushes like he was never here. Every went back to being normal and the mystery of the lost forest remained mystery for everyone else.
