[color=f7941d]“Ah, damn,” [/color]she cursed, and pushed a branch that had almost hit her in the face away,[color=f7941d]”watch it, guys."[/color]

She coughed her throat and said, [color=f7941d]”Well, let’s do introductions again.  I’m Erin, and this is Hideki—we really don’t know why we’re here, but I think we’ll be ok together."[/color]

The distant sound of a voice cut her off, and she stopped speaking; she continued forward, a steely resolve to find the source of the noise; the butterfly seemed to be undeterred by the noise and pressed on—so she followed.

We’re all trying to get out of this creepy ass place, so we’re following that butterfly…That sounds a bit stupid when I say it like that, but we’re ok.  You don't know why you're here, either, huh?"[/color]
