No time for a inro! To the story!

***Recap***

"Fire! Black sky! BIG- WOOSH!-rocks!"

"Hell? I asked, confused, and May looked at me.

"Tent! Blue sky. You go smash!"

"UM- Pardon?!" I asked, shocked. My heart started beating in my throat.

"WOOSH! SMAAAAASH! Skyyyyyyy!" She sang morbidly.

"Campsite Maylee? You wanna go camping? Smash the nails to keep the tent in place?"

"No. Camp! Yay! Smash- Joanne! Purple and GREEN!"

"Camp-p-ping is good!" I said quickly, and looked for my maps. I had one marked with large, free campsites.

"You wanna go to Harrisburg East?" I said, showing her the map.

She grabbed it, and pointed to one. "That one."

"That only has one star Maylee." I said, but I had a feeling she wouldn't care.

"NO! GO THERE! Dream friends say go there!"

"Your dream friends told me to go there, the SAME place I go smash?!" Seemed like a sudden turn from nice to morbid on their part.

"No."

"But you JUST said- You know what?! Whatever. Maybe we can get there quickly." I resigned myself.

"YAY! Joanne FALL!"

"Maylee! Quiet!"

***BEGIN CHAPTER 14***

The walk was rather short, and it was around noon when we arrived. The 'campsite' was a 10'X10' plot of gravel, with rusted metal charcoal grill, and a rotted picnic bench sat to the side. We agreed on finding a better spot.

We soon found a nice place, close to a large river. We walked by a large waterfall, fourth feet up if I had to guess. As we went further up the path, the river narrowed, and the water slowed. I told Maylee to stay where I could see her, and I looked through our bags.

I hoped another bag had appeared for us, since the originals were either still lying in the middle of the Virginia-Tennessee woods, or being used as evidence to track us down and bring us to "safety".

Luckily, there were two, but they were not as nice. It was as if the magical THING supplying it was telling me a lesson, 'look what you did to those nice sleeping bags! Now you have to learn your lesson!'

It had hooks for the hammock gear, and attached them to a triangle of trees about twenty feet or so from the bank.

Eventually, I got bored, and spent a while digging through my bag and looking for things to do.

I found my iPod at the bottom, and smiled. I placed one earned in, and turned it on. I lay there on the hammock for a while, listening to What You Know by Two Door Cinema Club. I began to sing it, and I felt a bit of my nerves easing away, singing did that a lot.

"I can tell just what you want;
you don't want to be alone

You don't want to be alooone-
and I can say it's what you know
but you've known it the whole time!
YAH YOU'VE KNOWN IT THE WHOLE TIIIIME!" I sang, knowing no one could hear me, except maybe Maylee.

I took my headphone out, and went to find her.

She had dumped her ponies out on her sleeping bag/ hammock, and was playing with them.

"JOANNE! Play with me?"

"Sure."

"You sing pretty." Maylee said, swinging a pony around by its hair.

"Oh- uh-thanks May!" I blushed. A lot of people said things like that, and I always blushed and muttered excuses why I couldn't, though I always dreamed of someone listening in…and loving me for it.

"Sorry being creepy early. I'm…scare. For you." Maylee said, hugging my shoulders.

"What happens? Why do I go….smash?"

"You…walk. Wet place. You are save…somethin'…or someon'….and you fall… black hole…wet…black sky, but you come back again. Goggles- he- he falls. You save him, and rocks! S-Spikey rocks….no more see. Splatttttt!" she cried.

"I hugged her, and wiped my face. "It's okay." I said, and realized I meant it. I die….saving someone!

"Maylee, I have to ask- Do I have magic May?"

"Sparkles? Like sparkle girl?"

"Sparkles! Sparkle girl! She uses magic! That's why I can't see them! For some reason May, You can! I t might be linked to why you can see what happens!" I said, grabbing her hands.

"YAY! YAYYAY!" Maylee cheered, waving her arms back and forth. "Right! Right! Wheeeee!" She said, looking past me. I looked down, and saw footprints in the dirt. They weren't any of our sizes, and they only sunk deeper in the dirt. The invisible person was standing there, watching us.

"Hey! I see you are standing there!" I said, and the footprints stopped sinking, and several appeared slowly, like the figure was trying to back up, unnoticed. "Whatever."

We decided later on that evening to play in the river, despite Maylee's vision. I wouldn't die. No way.

So we knelt in the shallow, slow moving water, and she ran to the riverbank to grab some toys from her pack. I brought my dagger in, because I didn't know if they rusted- and I had no way to fix that. So I made sure not to go to deep, and kept it in my pants. The water was freezing since it was so late in the evening, but we enjoyed it anyway. We probably could build a fire later.

Maylee came back with two ponies, one purple and green haired, one white and raspberry.

May laughed and threw the purple and green one to me, and I gasped.

Maylee's vision- didn't have something to do with a purple and green- thing?!

And dark water- the sun was going down- and the sky was darker. The waterfall-

I began too hurriedly get out of the water and brought Maylee with me, but she began to cry when she saw her favorite pony begin to float down the river.

"Maylee! We have to get out!" I cried. Suddenly the river seemed deadly, and each rush of water threatened to lead me to my death.

"You can't alter fate Joanne!" She screamed, and yanked her arm out of mine. "Get my PONY!"

I stumbled back a bit, shocked.

"G—GET ON THE BANK MAYLEE! I'LL GET IT!" I choked, and threw the white pony roughly on the shore, and Maylee ran to go get it. "Maylee! Stay there! Goggles- Kaia, or whatever your names are- Take care of her okay! You have to protect her for me!"

And I started down the river after it.
