Chapter 2

Hello my one reader! i'm hoping more people will read this story, but only one person has so far. oh well... i'm going to post another chapter next week. READ AND REVIEW!

They had been walking for hours. The sky had darkened and then filled with stars, and now the full moon had begun to rise. Alyssa was bone tired and wanted to stop and rest. She had already asked for them to take a break about a hundred times and she was about to make it a hundred and one.

"Can we please-"

"Alyssa! I swear if you ask for us to stop one more time I will slap you!" Obviously, Alyssa wasn't the only one tired because Mordred was particularly touchy right now. To try to avoid getting slapped, Alyssa started to survey the area they were currently trampling through.

The terrain was rocky and uneven. There were boulders on the right and the left sides of the path. Some were precariously sitting on top of each other and some looked as if they had been purposefully sat where they were. There were tall trees everywhere. They were the only sign that the three of them were still in the forest at all.

"Okay you two," Alyssa's mom spoke up suddenly, breaking the silence that had been awkwardly hanging over them. "There's a cave up ahead. We'll be safe there. Come on." Alyssa could see the cave her mother spoke of up ahead and her need for a rest won out over her common sense. She ran ahead of her mother and right into the darkness of the cave.

"Alyssa!" her mother yelled at her and she started to turn around, but something stopped her. At the back of the cave, a glow started to emanate from the darkness. Alyssa could now see that the cave went much further than she had originally thought. She started toward the light, but her mother grabbed her arm.

"Alyssa! You can't just go off on your own! We have to stick together. Now more than ever."

"But mom, there's a light back there," Alyssa had never seen her mother go so pale so quickly. She looked in the direction of the light and dragged Alyssa out to the edges of the cave mouth.

"You stay out of there. Just leave it alone and stay away from that light okay?"

"Okay mom. I promise, I'll leave it alone."

"Good. Thank you. Now, we have to walk the rest of the way out of Camelot's part of the woods tomorrow, so you two better get some rest. Good night." And with that, she laid down with her face to the cave wall. Alyssa curled up back to back with Mordred, just like when they were babies, and the three of them tried to get some sleep.
