Chapter 2: The Dark Lands

(That's the last thing I remember before waking up in this place... Where am I? Where is this?) I take in my surroundings and determine my current situation. Unfortunately, I was no good at those types of things, so taking in my surroundings was more so for identifying whether I'm in immediate danger or not. Which I am not (although it's too dark to tell). I take in my surroundings once more and I recognize the feeling of grass at my feet as I'm standing up , why is it so dark? I look up and while there aren't many, I observe what seem to be stars, I see the outline of a couple trees and make my way in that direction. With minimal knowledge I could only assume that it's night time and that the sun should rise in a couple hours, however, after a couple of the longest hours of my life, I start to hear some light subtle footsteps as if someone or something was trying to sneak around. I start to look around frantically, Its hard to hide in a place where you can't identify, if anything were to attack me, they'd definitely be at an advantage if they know the lands better, assuming they can see better than I can in this darkness. I decide to take cover behind these trees, while I look around for the source of the footsteps, I start to panic as the footsteps get louder and reach a running pace, although I can't see I can tell whatever is out there is nearby. I can hear a faint snarl, unfortunately it's alot closer than I had hoped for it to be, drop to the ground and start feeling for something. I found a conviently solid branch that may help should I decide to jump into that things arms try my luck blindly, but I also found a rock, decent size, shaped like any other. I throw the rock as far as i can in one direction and run the opposite way hoping that it falls for it. It all seems to work according to what I had hoped... (character gets clotheslined by a branch and being knocked unconscious while running away in a straight line)
