Trees were all that could be seen, wet grass covered the soft soil. Everything looked the same, making it very easy for someone to get lost. And that would happen to Megan and Sebastien who were presently laying under a large weeping willow.
To a passerby they would appear to have been taking a nap but they had been deposited there unconscious by the 'reporter' from yesterday. Megan would be first to wake up, her hazel eyes open wide as she felt a sense of dizziness in her. She franticly stood up not even noticing Sebastien's sleeping body at her feet. She spun in a circle trying to figure out where she was, but she could not spot anything that looked even slightly familiar. Megan took a step forward, tripping over Sebastien causing him to wake up abruptly.
"Oh my God, Sebastien!" She cried throwing herself onto him, her face dirty from her previous fall.
"Megs, what's going on? Where are we?" It was clear that he was in no state of worry and was definitely not panicking.
"I don't know, we're in some forest! That man, that reporter, he tried to kill us and hide our bodies in this, this, this forest!" Megan let go of her grip on him and scrambled to her feet.
"You really think he was trying to kill us?" Sebastien asked but Megan knew he wasn't asking her, he was settling on a theory.
"Well, yes." Megan blurted, not sure what else to say.
"But it makes no sense, Megan. We're completely unharmed." He looked at himself up and down "Not even a scratch, don't you think if he actually wanted to kill us we'd at least have one bruise?"
"Okay, what are you getting?" Megan gave him a funny look and examined herself noticing the lack of abuse on her body that would've been expected from a murderer.
"Nothing, I just don't believe he was trying to kill us. Ca ne fais pas de sense. It doesn't make sense."
"Ca ne fais pas de sense." Megan grumbled mockingly, which was very unlike her but trees can have that sort of effect on people. "Maybe he was planning on killing us in the forest so that our screams of pain wouldn't be heard. But then he felt guilty so he just left us here to rot to death. Like that he wouldn't be charge with murder because when they'd find our bodies they'd assume we had wandered off campus."
"Wow, Megan I never knew you had such a morbid train of thought." He paused and she grimaced "Look, what you said is possible but what would his motive be?"
"Jealousy or revenge! We did win the Hamstead maybe we played on of his children and beat them. This is his way of getting us back."
"I don't think so."
"So what's your theory, Einstein?"
"Maybe he was just delaying us from something. Remember when we told him about catching our plane? He grew nervous, you could see it in his eyes and he started talking quickly and was eager to bring us here." Again Sebastien wasn't talking to Megan but rather thinking aloud. "Maybe something happened on the planeā¦"
"Like a crash where everyone died?" Megan frowned
"Maybe. Yeah that's it! Megan, it all makes sense! Look how we woke up, we were completely unharmed. This is probably the forest right by the campus. It'll be easy to get back and he knew it! Something must've happened or could've happened to us if he hadn't brought us here."
"And how would he know that?"
"He's an angel, a guardian angel."
"A guardian angel! Okay someone has definitely hit you over the head with a rock. What kind of guardian angel would leave us in a forest?"
"I don't know, but it's what makes sense to me right now."
"It's a nice thought, better than thinking someone was trying to kill us." Megan's face softened and she sat herself on the ground beside Sebastien.
"That's the Megan I know and love." He laughed as he extended one arm around her. The last word came as a surprise to Megan, but she decided that he probably didn't mean it. But he did.
"So what do we do now, Sebastien?" Megan asked in a low whisper as if someone were eavesdropping.
"We don't give up."
