Evra

I can't believe I found this place. It's awesome! It has a pond and a couple of chairs. Well, they're actually stumps but they look like chairs! Plus, the place is totally concealed. It looks like there are walls here and that the roof is the sky. A perfect hideout for escaping!

Darren seems to like this place too! "Hey, Darren. Isn't this place great? The pond looks really deep and the trees look wicked from down here. We should come back here everyday!" I exclaimed.

I saw that he turned a bit tense. What's with him? "Y..Yeah! That would be awesome, Evra, but we should probably start hunting food for the little people.. We don't want them eating us now, do we?" He laughed nervously.

I laughed along with him. "All right. Let's go!" Grudgingly, I got up dusted the grass off of my shorts and headed out back into the dense forest. Darren also got up and looked up one last time.

The sunlight refracted with his face and I felt a slight twinge in my stomach. The light hit him in all the right places and his pose was… Nice.

Wait, what? I shook my head and closed the bark-like door behind me so that we could look out for the door next time, then walked into the forest with Darren trailing close. I could hear his breathing and soon enough my breath began to come out raggedly too. Why the...? Oh a rabbit!

We caught a couple of rabbits and mice and that should be enough. We smiled at each other, satisfied that we caught a lot more than yesterday. We only caught one rabbit and three mice yesterday. The little people were not pleased. At all.

When we arrived at the camp we placed the bag of animals near the little people and retreated quickly. I never enjoyed the crunching sounds they would make when they ate. It was disturbing actually.

As the day drove on it eventually turned into night and I had an idea. "Darren! Let's go back to that place! I want to see the stars! The leaves must look pretty cool 'cause of the moon and the stars!"

I could see him thinking about. "I don't know.. Mr. Crepsley might be waking up soon and he might want to talk… Eh, I can do with a small break!" He said, laughingly.

"That's the spirit!" I said. Quickly, I grabbed his hand and began to run into the general direction of the place that I found.

We both ran into the forest swiftly, avoiding any tree branches or large stones. I found the door and opened it eagerly. I could only imagine how it must look like now!

The place was more beautiful at night and there was a different aura about the place. Something I didn't notice before.

Darren entered cautiously. "Wow." Was all he said.

"I know. The place looks different." And it did. The area was darker but the moonlight was shining in between the leaves creating patterns everywhere we looked. The pond was moving slightly.

I sat down on one of the stumps and looked at Darren. He was looking at the pond. Did he want to jump in? I kind of did.

Without thinking, I removed my shirt and short with only my boxers remaining. Darren was staring at me oddly. Why was he staring at me like that..? I saw him lick his lips briefly before speaking up.

"Want to go for a swim?" he asked.

"That's what I was thinking about doing." I said and walked over to the pond. I dipped one of my toes into the water to check if it was cold. Surprisingly, it wasn't. It was actually warm!

Darren removed his shirt quickly and pulled down his pants. I tried not to look but it seemed as though my eyes were glued to him. Like me, he had boxers on. "Is it cold?"

"Nope! Nice and warm! Come on in!" I said, turning away from him. I could hear a slight splash and then it was silent. He was in now.

How was that? It was a bit short wasn't it? Hmm. I'll try to make the next chapter longer..

If possible 0.o
