We continued to walk along the track, when we tried to decide to take a shortcut, which landed us by a creek. "It seems shallow enough," Chris said, after putting a stick in.
We decided to jump in, but we quickly realized that it was deeper than it really was. It was deep enough, that I could barely stand. Of course the guys were making fun of me for it, but it didn't bother me.
Teddy started to "drown" Vern, which started to get out of hand. "Act your age," I said, which lead to him going on about how he was at the prime of his youth.
All of us started to playfully splashed each other in the water. When we all got out of the water, I mentioned that Vern had something on his neck. "Haha very funny," He answered.
"No really. There's something," Gordie mentioned, looking at the black thing on his neck.
"LEECHES!" Teddy yelled, as we all started to brush off the leeches that were on us. I of course went behind a tree to see if there were any leeches in my unmentionables.
"Holy shit," I heard Gordie say while he fell to the ground.
One of the boys informed me that he found one in his underwear. "Gordie wake up!" I said, while Chris somewhat smacked his face.
He finally woke up, and we all stared at him. He sat up, and we all asked if he was ok. Luckily he was fine, and nothing was wrong. Teddy pretended to elbow Vern, but this time it was different. Vern got angry. He started to fight back.
Now, they were full on fighting. "Stop it!" I said, but they pushed me away, almost nocking me down.
They didn't stop and Gordie finally spoke out. "Stop it!" He basically yelled, and they listened.
"If you want to turn back, we can go," Chris offered.
Gordie declined, insisting that we continue. We did, and we got to the road. "We should split up," I suggested while we started to look for him.
"I see him!" Vern said, as we all came together to look at what he saw.
Sure enough in the flesh, was Ray Brower's dead body. Everyone went down the little hill, and Chris moved some branches off of the body. He had cuts and bruises all over his body. He also was pale, and his eyes were wide open. Like he never expected that train to hit him.
"Let's find some leaves or branches. We can make him a structure," My twin suggested, while we all started looking for things.
What we didn't expect was a certain gang member to come down the hill, and find what we were doing.
A/N: No, I haven't forgot about this, I've been busy with work and school lately. Sorry it's so short. Thanks for those who've reviewed!
