We had been walking for a few hours when it began to rain. "UHHHH what
else can go wrong?" I asked to noone imparticular. "just keep walking. we
need to get as far as we can before it gets really bad" David said. So we kept
walking. . The rain seemed to just be coming down in buckets and we were
both drenched by the time that we decided to stop. We set up our tent and
immediatley got in. "This is stupid. The rain is coming right through the
tent." I said annoyed at the fact I couldnt find dryness anywhere. "Well
what do you want me to do about it?" David asked equally annoyed. "do
you think we should call Peter?" I asked hoping he would come and get us
out of the mess we were in. "Yeah we might as well. Here do you want to do
it?" He asked throwing the walkie-talkie at me.
~Meanwhile: in Peters office
"Peter the rains really starting to come down out there. We should go get
them" Sophie said concerned for "her" kids. "I dont know Soph what if its
just something thats passing?" Peter asked. Before they could decide on
what to do the radio interupted them. "Peter.... come in Peter" Melanie's
desperate voice came over the speaker. "I'm here Melanie whats wrong?"
"Peter the rains really starting to come down out here. What should we do?"
"We're going to call Curtis and we'll come get you. Give me your cordinations
and sit tight ok?" While Peter finished getting their location and calming
them down Sophie went to use the phone at the front office. "Curtis this is
Sophie listen we have some kids who were out on a hike and we need to go
get them. Can you help?" After listening for a few minutes Sophie began to
yell. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE ROADS ARE WASHED OUT??? Yes I
understand that but we have 2 kids stuck up....wait it out....are you sure?
Alright...yep...I'll tell Peter...Yeah I'll let you know how theyre doing...thanks
Curtis...bye" Sophie hung up and quickly ran back to Peters office where he
was just getting done talking to Melanie. "well?" Peter asked anxious to go
get David and Melanie before the weather got worse. "Curtis says we cant do
anything the roads are all washed out and he says if we try to get them we'll
just be bringing them into danger. They have to wait it out." Sophie said still
upset at the idea of the 2 spending the night in the storm with only a tent for
shelter. "We'll we better tell them" Peter said picking the radio's transmitter
back up.
~Back at the camp sight
David and Melanie had been sitting in the tent in pure silence shivering from
the cold when Peters voice came over the walkie talkie."Listen up guys we
cant come get you because the trails are washed out. You need to just stay
where you are until the rain stops. We'll be up as soon as Curtis will let us."
and with that Peters voice stopped. "WAIT" we both yelled grabbing for the
small object. David got it first and immediatley got Peter back on the
frequency. "Peter what are we suppose to do?" David asked "Well guys..... ok?"
"wait peter what did you say? your fading out" " I said...." "UHHHH can this
day get any worse?" Daivd yelled dropping the walkie-talkie "whats wrong with
it?" I asked "the batteries died what do you think Einstein?" Davind replied
sarcasticly. "Hey i was just asking. you dont need to be rude." I replied before
running out of the tent. I couldnt take it anymore David was really starting to
get on my nerves and I just needed to be away from him for a while.
~Back at Horizon:
"PETER WHAT HAPPENED???" Sophie yelled. "Their batteries are dead" Peter
replied as he clutched his head in his hands. "What else can go wrong for
these kids?" Sophie asked exasperated.
~Somewhere in the woods:
I had been walking for a few minutes letting all my anger towards David get
out. My tears just seemed to be flowing and maybe they had messed up my
vision who knows because the next thing I knew I was on the ground and my
ankle was throbbing.
~Back at the campsite
David was sitting there stunded after Melanie ran out of the tent. He didnt
mean to get her upset again but thats just what he did. "Figures" he mumbled
to himself as he put his coat back on and beagn to walk into the woods after
her.
