Beg note: I will continue where I left off, "Obviously," you say, I reply I meant on my end note. It's a shame no one commented on my predicament. I think I know what I am going to do though, yes, I'm going to let Josie decide. Haha ha! This is chapter 7 I think.

Bonjour Amy, I think an update is due. I didn't realise how quick the week has gone.

Vaughn looked worriedly from Lucas to Josie, "Aren't we supposed to be looking for missing friends?" he asked, trying to distract them from the pointless argument.

They both looked at him, worried for a moment he began to stutter, "I, uhh… erm. Well... They… you know…"

"Your right," Josie finally said, "We're not helping them by arguing,"

They began to walk through the trees, after a while Lucas cut into the quiet "Can you see that over there?"

"See what," the other two said simultaneously.

"There," Lucas pointed towards nothing.

"I can't see anything," Vaughn said, looking in the direction.

"That's what I mean, there's nothing there, don't you think that's a bit strange,"

"It's just too far to see, that's all,"

"No, it's not that far, it just dark, really dark, I think we should go that way,"

"I don't think so…" Josie replied doubtfully.

"Why not, we have no clue which way they went, it's not a sure thing that they went in the direction we were travelling in."

"I know but, they wouldn't have went that way, it looks dangerous, they're not stupid, and they would have most likely walked in the direction of Pearadyne, which is the way we were going."

"Vaughn, what do you think?" Lucas said, not trusting him but still trying to get him on side.

"I don't know, maybe it didn't look like that when they were there,"

"Maybe, but wouldn't they have still be heading for Pearadyne,"

Vaughn shook his head, he didn't want to be in the middle of their disagreement, he didn't want to be here with both of them, it was awkward enough already.

"Well, I'm going that way," Lucas said gesturing to the nothingness, or darkness, or place really far off.

"Lucas, don't," Josie said worriedly, she knew they should definitely not go in that direction.

Lucas stalked off, it was his time for gut instinct and he was going to show them he was right. He walked onwards and it was upon him before he had taken five steps, he turned and found that Vaughn and Josie were out of sight. There was nothing for it but to continue forward.

Corrine woke up groggily, she felt achy all over, "Marshal," she called through the darkness.

"Corrine, I'm right here," the voice came from right beside her.

"I'm sorry I fell asleep like that, I was just tired," she yarned.

"You weren't sleeping for long, I've been doing some thinking and I feel like we're really stuck in here."

"We can't be, I mean, we fell in, so we may be able to climb out," Corrine rattled.

"Climb to where, it's too dark,"

"We'll just have to climb in the dark then," She seemed to sense the unconvinced look marshal was sending her. "We'll take it slow… we have to get out, we just have to!" Corrine called shrilly, working herself into a panic.

"I went to an all boys' school before I came to Blake Holsey,"

"We… a, what,"

"When I came here, I was pretty nervous at talking to girls,"

"You were? But, what about me and Josie and the girl's auditioning for your band."

"I never expected a girl to be in Science club but you…"

"Oh my God, you never used to talk to me, I was actually quite hurt," Corrine laughed.

"But you still helped me when I was having trouble making my glue the right consistency, you didn't notice any of my stuttering, you had gone into teacher mode and were trying to see what I had done wrong.

"That was when I realised that girls were not different from boys," Marshal finished feeling a bit lame.

"So I was the one who stopped you from thinking girls had cooties'," Corrine said in a sing song voice.

"Basically,"

"I'm grinning," Corrine said happily.

"What,"

"Well, I just wanted you to know, because you can't see me, what are you doing,"

"You don't want to know… do you want to play a game,"

"What game?"

-------------------------------- Pearadyne Grounds--------------------------------

"He's gone, Josie I think we should follow him,"

The read head looked at the guy in front of her, her expression was one of repressed nervousness. "I don't know,"

"Josie, it doesn't matter if he is going in the wrong or right direction, it's better to have as little people lost as possible,"

"I know, but we can't see him,"

"We just have to walk in that direction, we are bound to catch up,"

"Maybe,"

"What's wrong with you?" Vaughn asked exasperatedly.

"I just have bad feelings about, about… about that direction."

"That's more reason to find Lucas,"

Josie was really tempted to ask why he suddenly cared about Lucas, they never seemed to get on before, instead she said, "Well what are we waiting for?"

End note: so now Lucas is lost and Corrine + Marshal are still stuck in and unknown room/pit. How do you like my drama? Do you think I should take our hungry couple out of their confinement, or at least give them light. Should I go back to Blake Holsey to see how Professor Z, the headmistress woman, (can't remember her name at the moment) and Victor Pierce are dealing with the recent disappearances.
