Beg Note: Erm new chapter, what chapter are we on now ten. It's been a week already, holidays and my updating is bad. I'm sorry for that, I was going to update on Christmas but got too tired so here it is now, just gone midnight so can't claim boxing day.

Just saying thanks to my reviewers Amy and XxSparkyxX, hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and I want to update before New Year so I'll give that greeting next time.

Josie forgot her anger to Vaughn at that very moment, something was not right. A wave of fear pass over her, she didn't know where it came from or why she was afraid. She just knew she had good reason to be.

She looked across at Vaughn he was sitting how he had been for the pass few minutes, she didn't notice any change in him. Maybe the deep fear in the pit of her stomach was misplaced. Maybe.

Josie felt a chill pass through her, it sunk to her very bones and she started to feel terribly sick. She looked desperately at Vaughn, he had paled considerably, she realised the feeling was not her imagination and that it was coming. Her whole body wanted to collapse but she couldn't let it happen.

There was an almighty roar, Josie couldn't hold it in, bile raised up in her throat and she lent over to let it all out. She collapsed just after.

"Josie," Vaughn rasped, he throat was as dry as sandpaper. He had felt it too, that intense chill, he had heard it too, that nauseating roar. He too, wanted to be sick but when he had saw her collapse barely missing her own puke, he knew that he could not; he had to save her and save himself.

A choking feeling engulfed him and he began coughing and spluttering and before he knew it, something had risen up into his mouth and he instinctively ejected it. Then the darkness consumed him too.

--------------------------- River Side ------------------------------

Lucas pulled of the majority of his clothes and laid them out for the sun to dry them. Going into the dessert was definitely suicide, the only logical way was to follow the bank. That way he would have at least water. He sat and looked up at the cliff that jutted out above him. He let his thoughts wonder, trying to erase the feeling of flatness he felt at that particular moment.

Feeling a little dried out and like he would get a lot of sunburn if he didn't get dress soon, he felt his clothing to find them slightly damp to dry. Shaking them out a little, he pulled his clothes back on and started following the river, he didn't have to walk long before he encountered a bridge, and he certainly had not seen himself approach it. It had just appeared.

The bridge was rickety and Lucas was quite nervous that he would fall in when crossing it. The unsteady bridge did in fact hold out and allowed him to the other bank that was a lot cooler, being shaded from the sun.

He ran his hand along the cliff face, feeling the rock. He contemplated trying to climb it, but that would be plain reckless.

A scrapping cut into his thoughts, the wall he was touching was moving under his hand.

----------------------- Blake Holsey ----------------------

"Professor Zachary!"

The science teacher jumped in fright, the headmistress had certainly surprised him and whatever she could say was not going to be good.

"Principle Durst, what is it you wanted?" he tried to ask levelly.

"You know exactly what it is, where are those science club students, neither one of them turned up for any of their classes today."

"I don't…"

"You do have a clue to where they are," the principle said threateningly.

Z swallowed, "I have an inclination that they journeyed back into Pearadyne."

Steamed could have billowed from her ears the way her face contorted. "We have to follow them." Her voice was fall of conviction, "Meet me at the entrance in exactly fifteen minutes, we are going after them."

She turned and left and professor Z collapsed into his seat. What was he going to need when they were trekking in the unpredictable forest of Pearadyne? He grabbed a few things not quite sure, they had been away for a while maybe he take some chocolate bars for quick release energy.

There was no time he had to meet the principle right about now, he walked to the entrance when he saw something that he could have done without at the moment, Victor Pearson.

Oh great, he thought, whatever this man had to say was not going to be good.

"Mr Pearson," he greeted.

"Professor Zachary, I want to know what's going on," was the angry reply.

"I already told you, there is nothing wrong, I don't know what you think may have happened, but I can assure you that nothing of the sort…" Principle Durst try to explain.

"You know very well what I think has happened and I know I am right in my assumption, so please will you care to explain why," his voice came out in a low growl.

End note: Ooo, I'm worried for Vaughn and Josie what has happened to them, what was that roar, are they going to be okay. Isn't it worrying?
