The way back home

It's been three days since I left. "Huh" Miley's probably worried about me, I thought to myself. AHWOOOO interrupted the silence of the woods and the crackle of the small fire I had made. " Oh Crap, they found me " I whisper. Another loud cry from came from the pack of Hyper Wolves they were close, to close for my liking. I quickly got up, grabbed my dark oak wood crossbow and my quiver full of hand crafted arrows I made myself. I took down my hellgoat skin tarp I hung over a low hanging branch ,to keep me dry from the rain, and stuffed it into my black lavabear skin backpack. I put out my fire and grabbed a few glow beetles and stuffed them into my lantern. I slipped on my backpack, hooked my cross bow and quiver on my belt, and put up my Hyper Wolf fur hood. I started walking through the thick trees of the West Twilight Forest. I headed Northeast. I haven't walked a mile yet when I turned around to see the bright neon eyes of Hyper Wolves. The next thing I know I'm running as fast as my legs can carry me ( which is 4 min 75secs a mile ). As I look back I see the the neon trail the Hyper Wolves are leaving as they run. Hyper Wolves are the fastest land creatures. They leave a neon trail that fades away after a few seconds and their eyes glow so brightly that it's dangerous to look at their face. They not only have different color coats ( brown, black, grey, white ) depending on where they live, but their eyes, the trail they leave, and the tips of their coats are different color of the rainbow. As I run I keep weaving around trees to try to lose the wolves. Some ran into the trees but no matter what I do they keep following me.I tried to shoot at them but they just keep dodging my arrows. I came apon a shallow river. I know where I am now. I'm about 16 miles from our ' home.' I should be able to lose them at Point Endless. I crossed the river in a record time. Those damn wolves are still after me I thought. I started to see multiple x's on trees there was only about a mile before I get to Point Endless. Point Endless is a 100 mile deep ravine that's stretches thousands of miles across the Twilight Forest. Even though it's only 10 miles wide its a massive maze. You could spend years trying to find out where you are. The King usually uses it as a punishment for criminals. My ' home ' is on the other side of Point Endless. As I got closer I started to speed up. The thing is, when you get to Point Endlessnd you don't know your there until you've fallen down the ravine. Everything cuts off so suddenly that most people fall to their doom. All I can see now is the blur of purple leaves from the trees. I reached for the side of my belt and grabbed a test tube of glittering magenta dust. Floating sand, I thought to myself, Perfect. I grabbed a nearby vine with my free hand and jumped of the cliff. The wolves stopped, growled, and ran away back into the woods. I brought the tube of floating sand to my mouth and took off the cork covering the opening of the tube with my mouth. I then flung the tube (without letting go of the tube ) and some dust quickly feel to the bottom of the ravine. Then some boulders started to float up from the bottom of the ravine to where I could jump to on them. I let go of the vine and jumped to the nearest floating boulder. I continued to do this till I made it to the other side of the ravine. I ended up jumping into the thick foliage of the Twilight Forest. I made my way to the base of the mountain of where we live. I pushed a large boulder a little bit to the left to reveal a wide stone staircase that is carved into the mountain. I wearily made my way up the staircase. Half way up I have to stop and rest, I didn't realize that one of the wolves sliced my shin.  The stair case has lit torches hanging on the left wall. I finally managed to make it to the top of the staircase, man do my legs hurt. I am greeted by a tattered maroon deer skin curtain that covers the entrance to our ' main room.' I moved the curtain to the side. As I walked in to the space I nearly tripped over a woven basket filled with neatly rolled blankets on the floor. Miley was here I thought. I slowly walked over to our bear skin couch, which sits in the middle of the space, grabbed a feather stuffed pillow from the couch. I took off my bag and coat dropped them on the floor. I unhooked the quiver and cross bow set them down on the cherry wood table in front of the couch. I grabbed a fur blanked from a woven basket on the floor by the stairs and lied down on the couch to fell asleep to the sound of heavily falling rain.
