I open my eyes and find myself standing at the edge of shadow woods, shadow woods earned it's name because of the protective barrier put around it by necromancers to ensure only dead/undead creatures can enter. I take out the book again and after a few minutes of flipping I find the page with the bioluminescent mushroom I'm supposed to find, as I'm gazing at a picture of the small blue fungi, I hear a snap come from behind me, I whip my head around, only to find it was merely a bunny stepping on a twig, "Whew", I turn around, only to find myself nose to nose with Shay hanging upside down from a tree branch, "AAAAHHHH!!!" I scream dropping on my ass out of instinct, "BWAHAHAHA!!!" Shay laughs, jumping off the tree branch, " You should've seen your face!" Shay says between fits of histarical laughter, "Yeah, yeah, laugh it up asshole" I say, I pick up the book, putting it back in my satchel and grab the basket off the floor before standing and dusting myself off, "So whatcha doing way out here, little far from home aren't we Shad" Shay says mockingly, I look her over, Shay's 5'6 with long jet black hair that she keeps up in a ponytail, ivory colored skin and pear-like white eyes, wearing all black as always, with a whole 4-inch difference in height you almost wouldn't believe she's Shade's twin."I could say the same to you, you know" I say, eyeing her curiously, her eyes dart away for a moment but it's so quick that in the blink of an eye she's giving me a childish grin, "When have I ever been predictable ?" She says, did I just imagine it ?, "Ah wait I just figured out why you're here, lemme guess the wicked witch of the workload send you out on an errant run ?" She says eyeing me with fake pity, "Yep, right on the nose Shay" I say rolling my eyes at her, "Hey is this where you were all day, I thought you died or something" I say, she gives me a rebellious grin that mirrors her brother's perfectly, "Awww, did someone miss me ?" she says giving me a fake pout, I resist the urge to roll my eyes again, "Not even close" I say jokingly, "As nice as this is I got work to do" I say, "Yes, yes, go about your chores cinderella, I'll catch you later", "Bye", She then falls back first through the forest floor, with her gone I proceed on my walk through the forest, the mushrooms should grow in a small clearing right about...,here, I stop and stand before a small clearing in the woods full of so many bioluminescent mushrooms the ground seemed to glow blue, I walk through to the center of the clearing where the mushrooms shone brightest I make sure to pick more then enough to last the year, just as I turn to pick up the last mushroom I trip and fall face first on the ground, "Ow!, what the ?" I look over to see what I tripped on and I can't believe my eyes, there, lying amongst the Glowing blue mushrooms is a boy, hidden just out of the view of anyone who wasn't looking, "...Shit".
