We were at some weird place that none of us recognized. All we had was a map at hand and the stuff that we had packed. The map was no use to most of us however. I had forgotten how to use it, Kell never went to school, our only hopes were Laci and Tony.
"So, uhhhh, does anybody know how to use a map?"
I asked. Kell shook his head and so did Laci. I was surprised that he didt know how, but he could have used his powers subconsciously while he was at school. We all looked at Tony and he snatched the map from Kells hand
"I can't believe you all don't know how to use a map"
Tony said
"I did yesterday"
I don't really know why Laci said that, but I believed what he said was true. But in response Tony rolled his eyes. For some reason he was very rude here. Then he started talking again.
"Our destination points are marked with an 'x.' There are three though, one is in a black forest and another is in a green forest, the 'xs' in these places are in the middle. The third 'x' seems to be by some sort of stone wall. Red, do you recognize any of these places?"
"Only the stone wall"
"I see, they are all dyangle from where we are at except for the stone wall. Laci, Red, where should we go first?"
"I think we should go through the black forest first, if we go to the green forest first the jewel could be snatched off directly from Lacis neck while we go to get mine, or he could take it off"
I looked at Laci and he seemed offended. I didn't really think he was going to say anything about it, but he did
"Really Red? Do you really not trust me that much?!"
"No, Laci, that's not what I-"
And then he cut me off
"Oh really?! Because that's what it sounded like to me!"
"Laci, you're getting the wrong idea"
"What idea?! When will you understand that I can be responsible for myself, I will never do anything foolish like that!"
"LACI! YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE I AM WORRIED ABOUT! THE BLACK FOREST WILL MESS WITH YOUR HEAD! It reveals your greatest fears! It tounts you to start over! As if the reason that you were doing it...never mattered. It reveals your worst memories. You see the people that you love being tortured, and all you hear ARE THEIR SCREAMS, AND ALL YOU DO IS WATCH, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!"
"Red, I"
He was going to say something while he was reaching out to me, I smacked his hand away from me, crossed my arms, looked away from him and started crying silently. I wiped my tears away realizing that crying right now was not necessary. Enough tears were going to be shed in that forest. Kell took my hand and we all started walking towards the black forest while Tony led us. I looked up to see where we were headed, but instead saw Tony's arm around Laci, and Lacis arm around Tony. They would make a cute couple. Wait, I'm not supposed to be thinking about that. Since when did I start matchmaking? We continued to walk silently. After about five hours we all stopped, we were standing in front of the black forest.
