Okay, here's chapter six! Yeah! And like I said, May and Drew might be a little OOC so you'll just have to get over it.

Chapter Six: Finding the Way

May sighed deeply, dangling her feet over the edge of the riverbank, kicking them back and forth causing excess water to splash upon her shins.

She then turned her attention to the sky, which was swirling with luscious shades of orange, pink and indigo.

In the east, the sun's rays were beginning to creep over the foliage, giving it a beautiful glow, as well as gently warming May's body.

It was sunrise, and May had guessed that it was approximately 5:30 A.M.

She had woken up early for a change, unable to get a wink of sleep last night due to constant nightmares of her tower incident.

Drew, on the other hand, was still asleep. May figured he wouldn't be awake for a little while longer since she had noticed he didn't get that much sleep last night as well.

Sighing once more, May effortlessly got to her feet and began to walk away, glancing back at the shimmering stream once more before heading back to the campsite.

"Drew, Drew…Drew? Wake up!" May whispered, shaking the coordinator gently.

Groaning slightly, the young boy opened his eyes, slowly sitting up as he used his hands to support his own weight.

"W-What time is it?" he asked, rubbing his right eye with the corresponding hand.

"Um, about 5:30, I guess…" May answered.

Drew blinked. "In the afternoon?"

May rolled her eyes and sighed. "No Drew, in the morning."

"Whoa, you're up early…"

"No kidding."

Drew frowned and got to his feet, as so did May.

"Well, usually you sleep in a lot." Drew told her, putting his left hand in his pocket.

May shrugged. "Yeah, well, I guess I just had a lot on my mind."

Drew nodded. "Hmm, me too."

May cocked her head. "Really? What of?"

Drew paused for a moment and closed his eyes. "It's…it's nothing."

May frowned. "Are you sure nothing's bothering you?"

"Uh, yeah…"

"…Promise?"

Drew smiled vaguely. "Promise."

May crossed her arms, still not completely convinced. "Well, okay…"

"Oh and also, we're still lost."

May sighed. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that…"

Drew nodded. "Yeah, we still need to find away out."

May rolled her eyes. "Obviously."

Drew frowned. "Okay then, if you're so clever, why don't you find a way out?"

May placed her hands on her hips. "Maybe I will."

"Then do it."

"Fine!"

"Fine."

Cursing beneath her breath, May angrily stormed off, Drew leisurely trailing behind. After about a minute, May stopped and got to her knees, leaving Drew to questionably look down at the young girl as well as arch his eyebrow when she began to observe a rock.

"Um, May?" Drew asked, not sure weather to be concerned or not. "What are you doing?"

"I'm finding away out." May replied, not taking her eyes off the rock.

Drew squatted down to her level, looking at the rock with a puzzled expression.

"And, how does this help us find our way out…?" he asked.

"Simple." Mat told him. "You go in which ever direction the moss is facing."

Drew stared at May for a moment, and then began to burst out into laughter.

"What's so funny?" May asked.

"You…you actually…believe that?" Drew asked, speaking in between his laughter.

May narrowed her eyes. "Of course I do, it's only true!"

Drew rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say, May…"

May's glare deepened. "Just watch."

Drew sighed as May began observing the rock once more.

"Eureka!" May cried happily about 30 seconds later.

Drew arched an eyebrow. "Eureka?"

"It means, 'I found it' or, 'I got it'."

Drew clenched his fist. "I know what it means!"

May chuckled nervously. "Chill, Drew!"

Drew rolled his eyes. "Just tell me which way we're heading."

"Well, um, we have to go that way!" she explained, pointing directly in front of her.

Drew sighed. "So let me get this straight…you think that we should go that way?"

May nodded. "That's right!"

"Well…then I'm going this way."

"Huh?"

May stood there for a moment as she watched Drew head in the opposite direction that she had just suggested.

"W-Wait!" May called, catching up with Drew.

Drew opened his eye closest to May. "Yes…?"

"It's just…I…I really think we should go the other way."

Drew rolled his eyes. "No way."

May crossed her arms. "Okay. Then how do you propose to find the way out?"

Drew smirked. "You'll see."

"Drew, this is a bad idea."

"No it's not."

"Yes it is."

"Not it's not!"

"You're going to get hurt!"

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

Drew just frowned, not particularly in the mood to argue at the moment.

"Well, we'll see who's wrong." he said.

May put one hand on her hip as she watched the coordinator begin to suddenly climb a tree; an unfazed expression upon her face.

"You're just going to hurt yourself!" she called to him.

Drew gritted his teeth as he struggled to grab hold of the next branch. "For the last time I'll be fine, May! Quit worrying!"

"Are you sure…?"

Drew rolled his eyes, pulling himself up onto the branch. "Positive!"

May sighed as she watched the green-eyed boy reach the top.

"Well, what do you see?" she asked impatiently.

Drew pushed himself a little more out to the edge of the branch, firmly grasping the bark in order to keep his balance.

"Um, I see…hey!" he cried.

May's eyes widened as she looked up expectantly. "What is it?"

"I see the roof of a building!"

May smiled brightly. "Great! Now, come back down so we can finally get outta here!"

Drew nodded. "Okay."

He then looked down and began to observe his surroundings, including the tree, and after about a minute, May got a little worried.

"What's wrong?" she asked after Drew hadn't budged.

"Um, I don't think I can get down…"

May arched an eyebrow. "And why not…?"

"The branch nearest to me is too far away!"

"Well, just go back down the way you came up."

Drew paused for a moment. "Um, I can't remember how I got up…"

May sighed, slightly annoyed. "Then…why don't you just jump down?"

"Are you insane? It's way too high! I'll just get hurt!"

May crossed her arms. "Serves you right."

Drew rolled his eyes. "Just help me down!"

"And how am I suppose to do that?"

"I don't know, but don't just stand there doing nothing!"

"Well, I don't know exactly what I can do!"

"Well, do something!"

"Like what?"

"I don't know!"
"Well, that's not very helpful!"

"May!"

"Okay! Okay, hold on!"

May bit her lip and looked around, hoping to see someone, anyone that could possibly be of assistance to them. But, it's hard to find people when you're lost in the middle of nowhere…

"I got it!" May announced.

Drew rolled his eyes. "Don't you mean, 'Eureka'?"

May crossed her arms and shot a glare at the young boy.

Drew sighed. "Anyway, what is it?"

"Just jump!"

"No way!"

"Come on, Drew! It's not that high!"

"No!"

"Drew, for once, just trust me!"

Drew bit the bottom of his lip, looking once more at the ground. "Well, okay..."

May watched from below as he dangled his legs over the side of the branch, regrettably

looking below one last time before finally pushing himself off, violently landing on his

knees.

"Fuck!" Drew cried, grasping his knees with his eyes shut tight.

"Drew, are you okay?" May asked, bending over at his side.

"Do I look okay?"

May gave Drew a sympathetic look. "Well, no…"

Drew groaned, tightening his grip. "Well, do something!"

May paused, looking around for a moment before looking back at Drew. "Well, can you

get up?"

Drew clenched his fist as he struggled to get up, and when he finally managed to stand, a sudden pain jolted through his knees causing him to fall back onto the ground.

May sighed. "I guess not…"

"It would appear so…" Drew mumbled.

"Well, lemme help you up!"

But before Drew could say anything, May had bent down and put his right arm around her shoulder for support, and slowly managed to get him to his feet.

May smiled. "Okay, I'll help you walk just for a little bit. And then, once you put some stress on it, you should be able to stand on your own. Clear?"

Drew nodded weakly. "Crystal."

May and Drew had been traveling for about an hour now, and Drew had finally regained his composer. Well, to a certain degree anyway. He was limping, and May had to slow down her pace just to keep up with him.

"Are you sure we're going the right way?" she asked suddenly breaking the silence.

Drew rolled his eyes. "Pretty damn."

"Well, when are we going to get there?"

"Um…soon."

May sighed. "Well, if you say so…"

Drew's frown deepened as he turned his attention to May, who had her arms crossed and was staring at the ground, a frustrated expression upon her features.

Sighing, he once again turned his attention to what was ahead of him and smiled.

"May!" he cried happily.

May arched an eyebrow, still not looking up. "What?"

"Check this out!"

Still confused, May finally looked up and turned her attention to what was in front of her as well and perked up a little.

"Oh my god!" she exclaimed, beginning to run towards it with Drew close behind.

Both of them stopped when they came across the edge of a cliff, which overlooked what appeared to be a peaceful looking town.

"We're finally here…" May said just above a whisper.

Drew nodded. "Yeah…"

May looked over at Drew and smiled. "Well, come on! Let's go!"

Drew smiled back as he followed the young girl into the boundaries of the town.
