Orion couldn't accept it. He refused to accept it. There was no way his little sister was gone. But the evidence was staring him right in the face. He had [i]told[/i] her not to go very far while he savaged a run-down gas station but she always was too curious for her own good and had a bad habit of wandering off. To top it off, she has a horrible sense of direction and couldn't find her way out of a paper sack. As panic surged through him, he resisted the urge to go tearing through the woods calling her name. It wouldn't do him any good and would attract unwanted attention. He took a deep centering breath. Everything was going to be okay. They had agreed that if they ever got separated they would meet up by the large rock formation in the shape of angel wings. They even had picked out a star to help guide them if it was dark. Orion ran a hand through his hair and re-adjusted the straps on his backpack. He then began heading in the direction of the rocks, praying his sister would be there.

Estelle took a few shaky breaths, struggling to not let the panic overwhelm her. She couldn't believe this was happening. She had gone very far away from Orion, she had just wanted to check the object she saw shining through the trees! There was a path but then the path disappeared and when she realized she couldn't see the gas station of even see through the trees at all she was already lost. She squeezed her eyes closed, taking deep breaths. They had agreed to meet by Angel Rock. Only....which direction was that again? The child bit her lip, holding the tears at bay. Panicking would not help her in this predicament. She needed to find a main road then find the gas station from there. Not too hard right? The little girl squared her shoulders. She could do this! She began trekking through the underbrush. Eventually she arrived at a path. A path! Excitement coursed through her and she hurried down it only to stop short when she spied a small group of three individuals: two men and one woman.

The child froze, eyes wide. Oh dear. This wasn't good. She resisted the urge to turn tail and run, that would draw attention to her. Maybe they hadn't noticed her yet? She very slowly began backing away, keeping her eyes trained on the group.[/center]
