Chapter 14
Footprints
Stan hurried home as fast as he could eager to tell Kyle about the note. He didn't stop running until he got to his front porch. When he got there he stood in front of the door for a moment to catch his breath.
Kyle ran to Stan's house hopping that Stan had come home from school already. When he arrived at the house he saw Stan standing on the front with his back to him. Kyle rushed over to him calling, "Stan!"
Stan turned around and said, "Kyle?".
Kyle stood in front of Stan and they both said at the same time, "I have something important to tell you!".
"You first," said Stan.
Kyle then spoke very quickly. "I went to the hospital and saw this man dying. He reappeared next to me and could see me. Then he died and he disappeared!"
Stan looked confused. "So what's your point?".
Kyle huffed impatiently. "My point is if what happened to that dying man is the same that's happening to me then I'm not dead. I'm dying somewhere".
Stan looked surprised for a moment then extremely happy. "Then does that mean we can still save you?" he asked excitedly.
"Yeah I think so but we don't have much time. I've been out there for days now," said Kyle.
Stan reached into his pocket and pulled out the note he found. "I found this note at school today, it says 'If you want to find Kyle, go deep into the woods'".
"That must mean someone found my body and wanted to tell you about it!" Kyle said getting excited as well.
"Well come on dude let's go find your body before it's too late," said Stan.
"I'm right behind you," said Kyle.
The two then set off to the woods. They didn't even bother to look for Kyle near the edge of the forest because of what the note had told them. Instead they went deeper and deeper in until they could no longer see the edge of the trees or South Park.
Stan wanted to find Kyle so badly so he could try and save him. He felt like he would do anything to get his best friend back. Kyle also really wanted to be found. Not only because he wanted his life back but so all the people who cared about him especially his family and Stan that were so miserable without him were happy again.
While they were searching they suddenly saw someone in the distance. Kyle and Stan could see that the person looked orange and recognized them to be Kenny.
"Kenny!" they both shouted and hurried over to him.
Kenny slightly limped over to Stan. His parka was ripped in several places and he was bleeding slightly from a few cuts.
"Hey Stan" said Kenny in a muffled voice through his hood.
"Hey Kenny, how did you get away from all those wolves?" Stan asked.
"Long story but it doesn't matter. Did you find Kyle yet?".
Stan looked down at his feet. "Sort of," he said.
Kenny raised one eyebrow. "Sort of? What do you mean sort of?"
Stan shook his head and said urgently. "Never mind. Look I got this note from someone and now I've come to the conclusion that Kyle is here in he woods somewhere dying and we need to find him".
Kenny looked surprised. "Really? Well we've got to find him!"
With Kenny's help they were able to search th forest more efficiently. About twenty minutes late however they still found nothing.
Stan then noticed faint footprints in the snow. He started to follow them and it wasn't long before he came to the edge of a steep cliff. The edge was icy and slippery and the footprints lead right to it. Being careful not to slip Stan peered over the side and noticed something orange and green half buried in the snow.
Stan looked shocked before yelling. "Oh my God! I found Kyle!".
Oh boy this is getting exciting!
