Once they reached the the cabin, Justin went inside to grab the duffel bag and some extra supplies while Tati waited outside.
Justin grabbed the duffel bag Tati his earlier underneath the floorboard by the bed and double checked to make sure everything was still inside. Justin then added a few more items in case they didn't find help or shelter. Justin walked to the kitchen and grabbed a few can foods and additional water and snacks. After grabbing a few more items Justin was ready and started heading to the front door when there was a loud bang coming from the woods.
"Huh? Where's Tati?" Justin thought, "I hope she didn't go to the tower without me". Justin double checked the cabin for Tati and then circled the cabin to make sure that she wasn't there. After making sure she wasn't around, he began heading to the tower to search for her there.
…
As he neared the watch tower he realized that it looked like no one has been there for a while not even there footprints from earlier could be seen. Justin began having a funny feeling as his stomach began to do flips making him feel nauseous. "Tati where are you?! Please be safe" Justin thought inwardly. He couldn't afford to lose Tati let alone anything to happen to her, they've been best friends since Kindergarten and has always been by each other's side. Justin loved her and made a promise to her and himself that he would do anything to make her smile especially after she lost her mother. He remembered 5 years ago when Tati's mother had passed, Tati was so depressed and was being bullied at school, it was him that confronted the bullies and spent every birthday with her since so she wouldn't be lonely. Suddenly Justin heard another bang but this time coming from the direction of the cabin. "Tati please be okay" said Justin aloud as he ran towards the cabin.
