The two best friends gathered there bags and headed out the cabin. "This way" said Tati "so we can stay near the trail home but hide among the trees". "Good idea" responded Justin.
They headed into the trees making way to Tati's house when they heard a tree branch snap. Tati looked at Justin and mouthed "get down", just a few trees away there was the sound of a large animal breathing the air around them, trying to sniff out there sent. The animal began running towards the river, Tati got up and ran towards her house with Justin right behind her. As they got near the edge of the path, Tati slowed down and began walking in circles panicking.. "hey, what's wrong?" asked Justin, grabbing her arms to stop her from circling around, worry and pain evident in his golden almost amber eyes. Tati was able to breathe a little easier looking at Justin, he has always been able to calm her down since they were younger especially after her mother died. Tati was grateful to have Justin in her life and knew she could confide in him about anything. "My house isn't here anymore, its GONE!" said Tati. "Gone?" repeated Justin confused.
"Yes, my house is supposed to be right here but I'm not seeing it, it's just trees .. I don't even say any trace or sight of it" panicked Tati. "Do you think the town is gone too?" asked Justin. "Maybe, I'm not sure .. I kinda want to check it out but at the same time I don't want to go far from the cabin or watch tower because at least we have some supplies there but I also don't want to run into whatever that creature is" responded Tati.
