Two Knight in Shining Armor

Chapter 2-Lost!

(Jess Pov)

"Are we there yet?" I moaned.

"Only a few more minutes!" my father said.

"You've said that for the past 3 hours." I remarked, then moaned again. "This is torture!"

"You've got that right." Casey muttered; I was still listening to Connect 3.

"Oh, stop it! You're being mean!" I scolded, then turned the volume up.

This meaningless chatter continued for another hour before the car rolled to a stop.

"We're here!" the adults chanted.

I hopped out of the car, glad to stretch my legs. Casey stood behind me, breathing on my neck. "Will you stop doing that!" I said.

I looked around, gazing at the forest. It looked like a forest, with huge, dark green trees grazing the sky. As we stepped into the woods, laden with bags, I noticed that the thick branches steal the sun's light, making it dark and cold in the forest.

We walked for awhile, Casey and I lagging behind, letting the adults lead us. I felt so tired because of the time difference, but of course I didn't let that show.

About a millennium later, we entered a clearing where we set down all our things. I heard birds chirping and saw the sun shone down more brightly here, making me feel warmer.

The parents began to set up the tents, but weren't doing so well, to tell the truth.

I just sat down on a tree log and rubbed Bailey's velvety brown ears. Casey was helping my parents erect the tent.

A few minutes later, my mother yelled "Jess! Casey! Stop lounging around! Here's a map, follow the path to get water from a spring!"

I stalked over and took the map, staring at it uncertainly. As Casey joined me, he questioned unsurely "Are you sure this is accurate?"

"Of course!" she replied. "Now shoo!"

We walked at a leisurely pace, commenting about movies or books every so often. I teased Casey about how who he wanted to win on American idol had lost, by my favorite contestant had won.

I glanced at Casey, who was staring at me. I looked at him, and he turned away, blushing?! Wow. Wonder's what gotten into him.

After walking for about an hour, we were still surrounded by the dense forest. I saw a rock on the ground that looked familiar, snd remarked, "Hey, didn't we pass that rock about 5 times?"

"Uh, I don't know. I'm not looking at the ground. Where's the map, we'll check it." Casey replied.

"I thought you had the map!" I cried.

"No! Your mom gave it to you!" he said back

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Ok, let's stop. We aren't getting anywhere." Casey said.

"Aha! You admitted it! I won!" I cried jubilantly.

"It wasn't a game!" Casey grumbled. "Now let's just-um…. go back in the other direction."

"Fine." I muttered.

"This isn't working! Look, there's that rock again! We've been going in circles!" Casey shouted, halting and facing me.

"This was your idea." I reminded him. He glared at me, then said, "Give me your cell phone; we'll call our parents."

"Wow, great idea, you idiot. We're in a forest! There's no service!" I cried sarcastically.

"Oh, right." he said. "umm… we can…."

I groaned. "Look, Casey, face it. We're lost."
