=Part Three=

Catching my breath I leaned on a tree. This running sure is tiring. I had to squint my eyes because of a bright light to my left. I turned and saw the most beautiful thing since I had awoken in the woods. There sat a grand lake, surrounded on all sides by pointy pine trees. The water was calm and crystal-like so the sun reflected off of it easily. I walked breathlessly over to the deep blue. I had never seen water in such a way. I only knew water as the cold, wet sensation I needed to live. Bending down tot scoop some up with my hands I saw something different. on top of the mirror like water was a picture of... "me" I breathed. This was the first time I ever really knew how I looked, even when I was a tree. I was short, compared to the full grown trees, yet tall compared to the saplings. Covering me from head to toe was the smooth white stuff I now knew was Skin. I was made of a small trunk like body with to large roots attached to the bottom and to long branches coming from the sides. The most interesting thing however, on top of my body, was a smooth, oval shaped head. The bottom of it held a pink, thin lipped mouth. Above it was a small triangular nose, and above the were to small, sparkling brown eyes that reflect the light bouncing of the light. I brushed a lock of stray green hair behind my ear. I couldn't pull myself to look away. Finally the snapping of a twig turned my attention. The golden squirrel sat behind me, still wanting to play tag. I broke into a big grin and chased after it as fast as my new legs would carry me. I had almost caught up when the squirrel made a hard left, avoiding a clearing at the edge of the woods. Curious, I stopped running and started to walk over. I felt a small tingling in my foot and look down. The critter was trying to tug my toe with its teeth, as if trying to stop me from going any farther. Nudging it away I continued on, completely unaware of what was about to happen next.
