Melissa tripped on some bark.

"Eric!" She yelled even louder. Melissa placed her hands in front of her. Feeling nothing but air. She soon felt a tree in front of her.
"Eric? She asked, she was drentched with rain, it felt like she had just jumped into a cold shivering river.

"Eric? Are you here?" She asked, She bent down, finding a figure crutching down, she could feel him breathing in front of her face.

"Eric?" She asked.

"Melissa.." He said in a low voice. His hands were shaking, and his voice was raspy. Melissa quickly sat next to him.

"What happened? I let go for a few seconds and you dissapered."
"I just lost you in the fog...I guess.." He sighed.

"Why are do you sound so...shaky?" She asked even more concirned.
Melissa placed her hands around Erics. They were cold. And she could feel them shake. He was dead wet.

"Eric..You could get really sick.." She said.

"Yeah well unless we see the path in front of us..I see no point going now."

Melissa moved in closer to Eric. Trying to warm him up a bit.

"Are you really cold?" She whispered. He nodded. Melissa rapped her arms around his body.
"How bout now?"

"Not that much.." He said shaking. More to the fact she's hugging her.

"Melissa."
"Yes?"
"T-Thanks.." He stammered. He smiled.

"Hey..Well get out of this, don't you worry." She said smiling.

Eric sat back on the tree trying to relax. Melissa rest her head on his shoulder.

Storm subsides

"Daley,we've been searching for the past few hours.." Nathan moaned.

"Eric...Melissa.." She sighed.

Melissa opened her eyes wide.

"E..Eric wake up." She said shaking him. Eric grunted and opened his eyes.

"What happened?"
"The storms past. We gotta get back." She said lifting him up.

"Ah..!" He cried.

"What?" She asked surprised.

"My arm.."
"Still hurts?"
"Kinda.."

"Come on we better get back.." She sighed. She helped Eric back. They ran into the others.

"Melissa!" Daley cried. She ran up to her and hugged her. Nathan and Jackson fallowed her up to him.

"Your alright.." He whispered. And hugged her tightly.

"Glad your okay." Nathan said patting Erics arm. Eric moaned inside him.

"You okay..?" He asked confused.

"Yeah whatever.." He said walking away.

"We're really glad your alright.." She said smiling.

"Same here.."
"Come on we better go see how Lex and Taylor are doing.." She said holding her hand. Melissa smiled again and fallowed Jackson up the hill.
