I arrived back at the campsite just before the sun set. I arrived to a fight. Jalil and Christopher. It seems like Christorpher ALWAYS picks fights. They were fighting over something. I didn't really pay attention to what though. The shelter was made. It was a cave, with a fire burning inside. I put the fire wood on the ground near the burning fire. The sun was quickly setting. Just then, Christopher shut up and so did Jalil.

"Oh so you FINALLY decided to come back, eh David?" Christopher snapped.
"Yeah, I did. Unlike you, who hasn't done a thing, I was out getting fire wood so we have light." I replied.
"SHUT UP you guys!" April said as she pointed up. Hetwan were flying overhead. Lots of them at that. A couple hundred maybe.
"That must mean we're getting closer to Ka Anor's place," Christopher said.
"Yeah, that's my guess," said Jalil.
"Look, it's getting late, and we need food. How are we gonna get some?" asked Christopher.
"Good question" April said.
"I'm starving..." I said.
"Yeah... maybe Merlin use his magic or whatever and make us supper" Christopher said. "Like when he made those animal's in Loki's castle come to life and attack Loki" He laughed at his own joke. But the joke wasn't really all that funny. Typical... for Christopher.
"Merlin," April said, "Could you do that?"
"Yeah, probably" he said "But there's no point in wasting more power on something that you can find in the forest."
"He's right you know" Jalil said, "Why don't we just sharpen sticks and use them as spears then go hunting?"
"Good idea" I said.

So we went out hunting. We didn't kill very many animals though. In the end, we came back with a pig, a few mushrooms that I didn't trust to eat, beats, and wild carrots.

"Great... we have all this food and no way to cook it" Christopher said.
"Oh my God" April said, "Stop being so... down about everything. Just because Etain's not here doesn't mean the world's ending"
"Yeah I guess you're right" he said, sounding serious. "Maybe it seems like YOUR world isn't ending but it seems like MINE is" He then stormed away. He bumped into me on the way.
"Where the hell are you going?!?" I said.
"Some where far away from here" He snapped.
And he was gone. Just like that, he left. He was now on his own... in a forest at night. I thought for a second. With all the freaky animal's and things out now, he could easily be killed and we wouldn't even know it. Then, I ran in the diresction he left in.
"David! Come back! We can't lose 2 people!" April cried.
David you HAVE to save him. All you need it ANOTHER death caused by YOU.
I ran for about 10 minutes before I found him, by a river, crying.

"What the hell?!? WHY DID YOU FOLLOW ME?!? It's not like I matter to you" he said.
"Yeah you do matter to me" I said.
"Ok then... But still... Why did you follow me?" he asked.
"Because I did" I said. Lame answer, I know.
"Oh and i supose that's a *good* reason David?" he questioned.
"Yeah I guess so"
"Yeah well can you like *go* now?!?"
"No"
"Ok there David..."
"Yeah whatever. What's wrong with you anyway?"
"Nothing"
"Uh no. There's SOMETHING wrong with you"
"Ok well maybe there IS but it doesn't matter to YOU"
"Yeah it does"
"Ooook then"
"Yeah... So what's wrong?"
"I don't wanna tell you"
"Ok. Are you coming back to the campground any time soon?"
"Yeah, I'll be back. I just need some time to myself right now though."
"I understand. But be back soon ok? Or the other's will be really worried."
"Alright alright already. Geez... Can't a guy have some time to himself here?"
"Nope." I said with a smile.
"Haha it seems that way though"
"Yeah. Well I'm gonna go now. C ya"

I returned to find dinner ready.
"Where's Christopher?!? Did you find him? Is he alright?" April asked, worried.
"Yes I did find him. He just needs some time to himself though. He'll be fine" I said.
"Ok good."
"Yeah."
Christopher wasn't there to eat. He has been the one complaining of hunger too. 'Maybe I should go back and tell him' I thought. 'Yeah... that seems like a good idea'

~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~

I went back to find him. In the exact place I found him the first time. But he wasn't there. Where was he? I wondered.
"Christopher?!?" I said. "Are you there?"
No answer.
"Stop! I KNOW you're here somewhere. If you're trying to worry me, you're doing an aufully good job of it"
What if some weird creature that Everworld's known to have killed him? Then what? I KNEW I shouldn't have left him on his own. I knew it. But I did.
All the sudden everything went black.....

"Great job David" Senna said.
"What the hell? You're dead"
"Not really. I live on in your thoughts. You, David, could have saved me. But you didn't. Now look at the mess you're in. Christopher's gone. And it's ALL YOUR FAULT"
A dream. It HAD to be a dream. Senna's dead now. There's NO WAY she can be alive right now.
"David, remember when I said "When the time comes will you save me?"? I remember what you said. "Yes Senna, I will" But you DIDN'T. And now you're letting everyone down.

~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~*~¤~

I opened my eyes. Christopher. He was here too. But where was here, was the question...
