It really was just your luck to end up in the situation you were in now. All you wanted on this fateful day was a break from the endless piles of paper given to you from your professors and a cup of coffee. But no, ohhhh no, you just had to take an accidental dive down the stairs, drop your laptop into a muddy puddle and suffer from possible brain trauma caused by a certain professor of yours.
It really wasn't his fault, you just had a bad habit of standing in the wrong place at the right time, and when he threw the football across the room to another student, well...It just so happened to collide with your temple.
And speaking of the situation you currently were in now, it involved a ridiculous amount of alcohol, shitty friends, and low spirits. You wanted to be in bed, safe and warm, not here in some stupid forest with a bunch of drunk students you barely knew.
Your so called "friend" who brought you here in the first place had disappeared a little over an hour ago and you suspected she had forgotten about you and left you stranded. Of course, the walk back to your dorm was only two miles away, but the forest was unfamiliar and dark. You'd rather be in a heated car than walk alone in a creepy old forest if you were being completely honest.
Yet, the world decided to dish out more bad luck today and gave you the opportunity to possibly get murdered by a psycho killer waiting in the woods for someone to walk by. And with your kind of luck, you'd be their victim. But what other choice did you have?
You sighed and grumbled under your breath and poured the rest of your beverage over gnarled tree roots and maneuvered towards the dirt path that led to town. You hoped dumping beer on a tree wasn't considered littering...
Pulling your phone's flashlight out after leaving the glare of strung up lanterns and headlights from cars, you focused on not tripping over your feet like you did this morning. At least if you did trip no one would see you this time. Though, it would still suck to land in the dirt and rip a hole in your leggings or shirt. Your occurring clumsiness probably increased your chances of tripping and impaling yourself on a stick or perhaps falling off a cliff anyways, so you weren't too hopeful.
So, with thoughts of impeding doom and your eyes on the lookout for any roots or rocks that could of caught your foot, you continued on the pathway to civilization and safety. That is, until you picked your head up and realized you hadn't been following the trail at all.
"Oh fuck me," you growled, wildly spinning around. Your flashlight illuminated patches of the dark woods and cast shadows that vaguely reminded you of deformed creatures lurking in the trees.
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." You hissed as an afterthought. Here you were lost in the woods, swearing like a sailor with no way out. Of course something like this would happen to you. Â
An overwhelming wave of panic surged over you after spinning around in circles and doing nothing but curse and try remembering which way you had come before this happened. You took a deep breath, attempting to calm your fraying nerves and paused before a patch of the brooding forest. It really couldn't get any worse than this.
You bit your lip, took a deep breath, and shuffled through the undergrowth praying to whatever god was out there you could somehow manage to find the path again and that this was the right direction.
It wasn't, and you quickly found that out right after your foot caught on a twisting root and sent you sailing down the side of a hill you never knew existed until now. You cried out in shock and pain as sharp rocks and dirt scratched your skin as you fell.
I shouldn't of poured beer on that poor tree was the last thing you thought before being enveloped into total darkness.

"Is she dead?"
"'Course not ye fool! Tha' lass is still breathin'!
"Aye, last time I checked corpses don't breath."
"Do you think she's alright?"
"Where on Earth did the lass come from?"
Unfamiliar voices crowded around you when you drifted back into consciousness, unaware of where you were, what time it was, or how you got out of the forest. You groaned as the various tones of buzzing voices became louder and you became more aware of the pounding headache present behind your eyes and the throbbing pain on your scalp.
"Shush! She's wakin' up."
You groaned again and placed a hand over your throbbing head before opening your eyes. Blurred faces gazed down at you with curious eyes and you had to blink a couple of times before registering what the actual fuck was going on. Last night you were lost in a forest and now you were circled by a ban of funny looking men with a whole lot of hair.
Your first instinct was to scream and the run and then maybe cry a little bit from the shock of falling down a hill and landing in who knows where, but the only thing you did was squeak in fear.
"Och, give 'er some room, lads!" An older looking man chided, his hand gripping a strange trumpet-like item as he shoved away some of your audience. Though, the longer you were sprawled out upon the ground, the longer you realized how short these men actually were. You were one to talk though, you had always been on the short side but seeing full grown men who were as tall as you were was a sight to behold.
"Why are you all so short...?"
You really hadn't meant for it slip out, but a combination of your confusion and your throbbing head let it pass through your lips. A few guffaws and shaking heads made you groan inwardly at your stupidity.
Way to make a great first impression, (y/n)...
"Have ye never seen a dwarf?" One of them asked, a floppy hat resting atop his head.
"Dwarf?" You repeated, your eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "Like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?"
"Who's that?" Another asked. "And why do they have seven dwarves with them?"
A murmur of agreement swept through the group and left you in an even deeper state of confusion. Who didn't know who Snow White was? The grey haired  so called 'dwarf' with the strange trumpet thing must of noticed your puzzlement and bent down on one knee to help lift you into a sitting position.
"What's your name, girl?"
"Erm, (y/n)..." You said. "And where the fuck am I and who the fuck are you?"
