Chapter 5
It seemed like hours, to May, that she had been following the trail. She looked down at her watch.
"Amazing, it's only been about 15 minutes," she said to herself "I guess I'm just tired…it is pretty late."
May looked up at the canopy of trees. Earlier, their leaves had been so close together, May didn't see the sky; But now…
"Hey!" she exclaimed "I know what's going on! The trees are farther apart because I'm getting to a clearing, or if I'm lucky…the exit!"
May walked a little faster, after a while no trees were visible, but it wasn't the exit. May sighed; she guessed she should have expected, with her luck, for it be a clearing.
"I wonder where Drew went, and Max…I left a note for him by his sleeping bag, but…"
May thought as she looked around herself.
"Ok, I'm just scaring myself," she thought "Max is fine with Skitty, and I'm sure Drew's here somewhere, sadly. I still need to find him so I can get back to Max and Skitty!"
May sighed once more and started walking across the clearing
May looked down at her watch again. "Ok, now it's been an hour! I really need to…"
As May turned around she spotted something, it looked like… "Roselia!" she exclaimed under her breath. May, slowly and quietly, moved closer to it. It was Roselia alright…but it was alone.
"Roselia?" May whispered. Roselia turned its head and looked May straight in the eye. There was a long pause, and then, it smiled "Rose," it whispered back. May sighed with relief.
"There you are!" May exclaimed "but…where's Drew?" Roselia shrugged, it seemed to May that it was just as worried as she was getting to be.
"Well, where did you last see him?" Roselia looked thoughtful for a moment and then shrugged again. "Ok, I get it. You're the one that got lost."
"Rose, rose…" It answered as it nodded its head. May looked up at the sky which, since she was out of the clearing, was hard to see. "This is getting ridiculous!" she thought. "Well, let's keep looking," she said to Roselia.
They started walking deeper and deeper into the forest,
"This reminds me of a scary movie I watched…we're going to be trapped here in this old forest forever! With nowhere to run from the wild Mightyena and Houndoom! We'll never make it out alive!" May shrieked.
At that comment Roselia rolled its eyes "You remind me so much of Drew, it's creepy." May added.
"Drew!" May was actually terrified now, it had been almost two hours…and she had gone off the trail a long time ago. "Where could he possibly have gone?" she asked Roselia.
"Rose…." It answered shaking its head.
"Wait," May said "How can we not have found him yet?!" when we looked at the poke'nav, this forest didn't look so big…oh! Who cares anymore! I just want to get everyone back so I can sleep!" Roselia nodded its head in agreement. Suddenly there was a loud snapping sound.
"Ahhh! The Mightyena and Houndoom have come to eat us all! Run for your life!" May screamed. It took her a while to realize it was her own foot stepping on a twig.
