I am exhausted. I really don't want to keep walking. I want to go home, but I can’t. I’ve walked all this way. Might as well keep going further. Only, I just don’t know how much further it really is. My friend told me that there’s a beautiful trail that leads down to a waterfall, and it's a really relaxing hike and not that far. Well this hike has been everything but relaxing. It isn’t a beautiful trail (more like spooky). I may have forgotten that she loves to walk and hike though, so she's pretty used to it. Can't say the same for me. I hate walking. I was pretty hesitant about visiting the waterfall because of that. But my love for waterfalls took over and I caved in. I wish I hadn’t though, I would’ve been relaxing at home on my phone. However, what's done is done. Can’t really back down now.
After what seemed like an eternity, I heard the sound of flowing water. About time. I walked a little further but I didn’t see anything. Nothing but trees. The trees that looked like the ones I crossed about a hundred times. I walked all this way, through the dark spooking looking forest hoping to see a waterfall. I can’t believe it. I’m never trusting my friend ever again. “That big liar”, I thought while stopping my foot on the ground and turning when I slipped past some trees and fell backwards in between some bushes. Thankfully it was a high fall. I got up to brush off the dirt on my clothes. I turned around and- Oh. My. God. It was beautiful. Nothing like I could’ve ever imagined. Ever. It was beautiful. It was hidden away so well. Two tall trees hovered above me and right beside the one to my right was a rope bridge hanging over a body collecting from the waterfall. THE WATERFALL. So she wasn't lying.I headed towards the bridge and carefully managed to cross it safely. I was in awe. Amazing. It was so beautiful I started to tear up. There was a beautiful castle. There was a mountain standing behind the castle. The clouds moving at ease. Right beside me, there it was. The beautiful waterfall. It was as blue as the sky, flowing down at ease, as if it didn’t have a worry in the world.
