A Puppet's Strings (On Hiatus)

Prologue: How It Began... Part 2

Alfred: But before I go where is my dagger? And my revolver?

I double checked myself and I don't have my dagger and revolver on me so I went to my closet to pull out a dagger and revolver.

After I equip the items on myself I check to see if there is anything else I'm forgetting. Nothing, I'm now fully ready to confront this "witch"

Before I leave I look at 3 items on my desk: A drawing of my family, A stuffed teddy bear my mother made for me when I was 4, and a Diagram for a revolver I will make myself later on in the future.

With a heave I leave my room, go downstairs to the front door.

I reach for the door knob with my hand, but my hand suddenly started twitching.

I don't know why but I have a weird sense of foreboding, maybe my body is trying to warn me of something?

But I shrugged that off as me just being uneasy. I finally grab the door knob, slowly twisted it and opened the door.

Then I quickly stepped out of the house while quietly closing the door behind me. The storm is more harsher  than I thought, the winds were howling loudly with heavy rain following it. Along with the flash of lightning and the thunder that followed shortly after.

I have to confront whoever this person is, I gripped my revolver tightly and walked through the treacherous storm. I made my way down the hilltop while making sure I wasn't blown like a rag doll, after I got down from the hill another flash of lightning flashed with as usual thunder following closely after it with a loud boom.

But that didn't deter me from my goal of confronting this "witch" as I perused along the path before stopping in front of the forest entrance.

I felt a sense of unease coursing through my entire body as I looked into the dark forest that looked like it was endless with the darkness that lurked in it.

The rain wasn't letting up as it still pelt me down with water but that didn't help get rid of the unease that lurked inside of my body.

I took a few breaths to calm me down and push away the unease that once anchored my movements. It worked and I mustered my courage and walked into the forest with the storm still as rough as ever.

Alfred: I'm coming for you "witch"

*timeskip*

It has roughly been an hour since I stepped foot into this forest and I continued walking deeper into this forest. My hand that was gripping onto my revolver twitches with anxiety and anticipation if something were to jump me while I was venturing into the woods.

My only source of light was the flash of lightning that often lit the forest so I could see for the briefest of moments so I don't bump into a tree or something much worse...

After what felt like 2 hours of walking I reached a clearing that had a house in it. The rain was still persistent raining down on me like there is no tomorrow.

I approached the house but I looked into one of the side windows and I saw something that scared me down to the bone.

The room looked messy with tomes, potions, and other still littered about inside. This was the house I was trapped in while I was dreaming?

No doubt about it this is the exact same room I was locked up in, I slowly approached the front door with my right hand still gripping my gun and I lifted my hand and then knocked.

As soon as I knocked someone opened the door and it was the same person from my dream. She looked a little surprised when she saw me but quickly regained her composure.
