ok here's chapter two. i just wanted to say thanks real quick to everyone who has given me a review so far so THANKS! well enjoy! ya'll know what to do afterwards:)

Bo is 5, Daisy is 7, and Luke is 9.


The next day Bo and Luke were up long before anyone else was. Bo sat at the kitchen table while Luke got two bowls down and got out a box of cereal.

"Hey Luke."

"Yeah Bo."

"When can we go outside and play in the snow? That was fun yesterday." Bo said to his oldest cousin. Luke finished fixing breakfast for him and Bo and sat down at the table after he put the milk and cereal away.

"I'm gonna ask Uncle Jesse when he gets up. Maybe he'll let us go into the woods today. Then we can have a big snowball fight there."

"Okay. Do you think you can help me with my fort again?"

"Sure if we're allowed to go. Ya better finish yer cereal before it gets soggy."

"Okay Luke." Both boys sat at the table eating their cereal and talkin about nothing in particular.

About an hour later Jesse and Martha came into the kitchen. Martha saw the two empty bowls in the sink and knew right away that Bo and Luke were up and about. But where they were at no one could guess. Martha decided not to fix a big breakfast since her two nephews already snuck a bowl of cereal.

Jesse was walking by the boys' room when he heard laughter coming from behind the closed door. Jesse opened the door just a crack. He peeked inside and saw Luke on the floor acting like some kind of animal, while Bo was sitting on his bed watching Luke and laughing at his performance. Jesse just couldn't keep himself from chuckling at his nephews. Jesse quietly closed the door behind himself and walked down to the bathroom.

About two hours later Bo and Luke came out of their room. They noticed that Jesse and Martha were up. Bo ran over to his uncle and began jumping up and down excited about what Jesse could only guess.

"Whoa what's got you al riled up?" Jesse asked the excited child.

"Uncle Jesse, Uncle Jesse, can me and Luke go outside and play in the woods please?" Bo said still jumping up and down.

"Ok first off stop jumping up and down so much yer gonna get yer asthma worked up. And secondly yes you can, but you can't go in too far. Make sure the farm stays in view. And if'n it starts to snow I want you two to head back to the farm." Jesse said to both nephews. Bo stopped jumping and started settling down some.

"Alright you two now go get ready to go outside. And Bo, I want you to take yer inhaler just incase yer asthma acts up while yer in the woods." Jesse said to his excited nephews.

"Okay Uncle Jesse." Both boys said in unison.

"Alright now go on and get ready 'fore it gets to late. And 'fore that storm gets here and you can't go outside." Both boys took off towards their room again. After they were dressed in their outside winter clothes, the boys raced each other outside into the snow. Luke was the first one outside, Bo ran out right after Luke and slipped on a patch of ice. He slid down the path on his bottom. Jesse had dug out a path so that they could get to the old pickup. Luke was standing on the edge of the path.

"Luke! Watch out!" Bo yelled in warning as he approached Luke fast. Luke turned around a moment to late. Just as he turned around, Bo hit him and the impact caused both boys went sliding even further down the path. They finally came to a stop at the end of the path after having gone completely under the truck and hitting a small tree.

Bo and Luke just layed on the ground completely dazed. Luke was the first to regain his senses. He looked around trying to figure out what had just happened. Bo was laying next to him on his stomach, his feet over his head. Luke saw that Bo was laying next to him for some reason. It finally hit him when he remembered that Bo had warned him about something.

"Oooowwwww….. That must've been why Bo yelled at me to watch out." Luke said to himself. Bo started to stir next to him. Bo opened his eyes trying to focus and take in everything that had just happened. Luke helped Bo sit up.

"Oooowwww…. My head hurts…."

"Are ya okay Bo?"

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm okay. Ya know, that was pretty fun. But it hurt when we stopped." Bo said giggling. Luke just ruffled Bo's honey blonde hair, smiling along with his baby cousin.

"C'mon cuz' it's gonna be too late by the time we get going if'n we don't go now."

"Okay Luke. Can we go down by the creek?"

"Why do you wanna go there for?"

"I wanna see if it's ice like the steps are."

"Okay. We'll go, but only for a minute. Ya know what Uncle Jesse said."

"That we's gotta stay close to the farm. And if'n it starts snowing to get back to the farm."

"Yup, so let's get goin' 'fore it gets dark or starts snowing."

"Okey dokey Luke." Bo said as Luke started leading the way. About half way to the creek, Bo saw a large bird flying over head. He stopped to watch it and momentarily forgot about Luke. Luke who had no idea that Bo had stopped following him, kept walking. When the bird was out of sight, Bo turned around to follow Luke again, but when he looked around, Luke was gone. Being as young as he was, Bo had no idea that he could follow Luke's footprints in the snow. He started to get panicky. He began to wonder around the woods trying to find Luke.

Luke was finally at the creek when he stopped to rest. Still having no idea Bo was lost, he began talking thinking Bo was with him. When Luke got no response, he turned around and saw that Bo was gone. Luke started to grow worried. He knew that if Bo got lost in the woods, that he may never find his way out. Just then Luke remembered that he also had Bo's inhaler in his pocket.

Luke knew that if Bo got to scared then he would have an asthma attack, and with the weather as cold as it was, it would only make it worse. Both boys had been wondering around for what seemed like an eternity, when it started to snow. It was light at first, but then it grew heavier and heavier, until it was just flat out storming. Luke knew he had to find Bo and fast. He once again walked around the woods yelling Bo's name as loud as he could.

"BO! BO, WHERE ARE YOU?" Luke yelled. The only response he got was the howling of the wind. All he could do was keep looking and calling and praying that Bo was alright.

Bo had been walking for what seemed like forever to him, but in reality had only been a few hours. Bo was getting colder and more frightened with each passing minute. It was also getting harder for him to breath because of his asthma and the cold air.

He had given up calling for Luke when it became hard for him to breath. Bo kept walking deeper into the woods getting further and further from the farm with each passing minute. Luke was not having much luck either. With each passing minute he was also getting further and further away from the farm.

Back at the farm, the snow had started to fall harder. Jesse, Martha, and Daisy were in the living room watching TV, when Jesse looked out the window. All he saw when he looked outside was white.

"Martha I'm getting worried. I told the boys to get back if it started to snow."

"It'll be alright Jesse, I'm sure the boys are on they're way back now. We just have to wait. We can't o out and look for them in this weather anyways. I hate sitting here waiting on them to get back too dear, but if they're not back in one hour, well go look for them." Martha said to her husband, while she tried to keep her voice from sounding worried.

"Yeah yer right dear, that's about all we can do right now with all that snow coming down. It'll be next to impossible to see out the windshield anyways. I just hope they are alright."

"I know, me too Jesse dear."

Meanwhile, Bo and Luke was still wandering around trying to find the other and shelter at the same time.
