Opening his eyes, Kicked blinked tiredly and looked around. Kendall was still napping, and he heard the whoosh of the waterfall right outside the cave. From the looks of outside, it was around noon. If they wanted to find any way of getting back, they better start now.
He looked over to Kendall, she had a stuffed Einstein plush tucked under her arm. How predictable. Kick placed his gloved hand on Kendall's shoulder and started shaking her. She made a tired groan and rolled over. Deciding that pushing her wasn't going to work, he resulted to yelling.
"KENDALL. GET UP." She looked up at him through squinted eyes and sighed.
"What's the rush?"
"We have to leave now if we're ever going to get back." He grabbed her backpack along with his and made for the exit of the cave. She followed him out, and they both looked around at their surroundings.
"Wow, this doesn't look anywhere near where we were… and, I can hold my own stuff!" With that, she snatched her backpack out of his hands and put it on her back with a "humph!"
"We might as well just start through the forest." Kendall looked toward the sky and began to take something out of her backpack. "What are you doing?"
"I'm getting out my compass. We went toward the east while traveling here… so I think if we head west, we will get closer to home."
"Kendall… that was a three hour bus drive." She looked at the compass she had just pulled out and held it in front of her. She waited until it pointed west and made for the entrance of a very large forest. Kick rolled his eyes, but followed anyways.
A good fifteen minutes pass; walking in silence and observing the nature that surrounded them from all directions. They had found a pack of squirrels earlier, but they scurried off. Kendall had started to look tired, but Kick had yet to break a sweat. The sky was getting darker and darker the further along they went, and they both had yet to say a word to eachother. Both climbing over a fallen tree, Kendall winced. She bent down and grabbed her knee.
"Clarence, don't you dare go on without me!" Looking back at Kendall, he made to ignore her and continue along, doing the opposite of what she demanded. "Clarence!" He turned around and made his way back to her and knelt down to look at her knee.
"What is it?"
"I don't know what I did, it just hurts. It hurts to put weight on it. I might have twisted it wrong when we climbed over the log." He looked at it for a few moments, and then looked up at the sky.
"We need to find camp."
