"Is all your stuff gone too?"[/color]  I overhear Will asking as to no avail I ruffle through every pocket on me, my jeans, my shirt, everywhere.  [i][color=f7976a]It..I-it's gone!  But...no!  I just had it with me two days ago!  Where is it?[/color][/i]  That pen light meant alot to me, and I can't believe I lost it already!

[color=f7976a]"Y-yeah."[/color]  I answer, the obvious fluster evident upon my face.  [color=f7976a]"My pen light.  I know I didn't misplace it or anything.  I always kept up with it."[/color]

In fact, there is literally nothing in my pockets, no spare change, no phone, nothing...but thin air...  I'm starting to feel more and more concerned about this place and....whatever or whomever...brought us here.  I don't know why, but...I just feel like we are all in some sort of danger here.  We need to leave, yet, the others are voting for climbing the tree to grab the letter.

I was up for it, at the start at least, but now, I just want to get out of here.

The sun, its shimmering light looms over the southern passage, as though it is a beacon trying to point us the way home...or perhaps...the snare to a deadly trap.  Either way, we won't know unless we traverse it.

I turn to the three and take a deep breath, shuffling my feet a little on the grass.  [color=f7976a]"Look, you guys, I'm all for finding out what's on the letter too, but...I think we should get out of here as soon as possible.  I...I just don't like this place, or how it makes me feel.  We could be in some serious danger right now, and we don't even know about it.  I mean...doesn't this place give anyone the creeps?"[/color]

I then look towards the southern path.  [color=f7976a]"That might be our only way out, who knows.  Maybe we should explore it a little first...o-or better yet, what if Will and I check the path and you other two climb the tree?"[/color]

Honestly, I don't like the thought of splitting up, not here, but at least we should be able to cover more ground, hopefully...

Still...there's just something about this place that bothers me...
