A.N Really sorry for the shortness of this chapter. It's kinda a filler. :)
It was nearing 6:30am in the forest. Dew sat prettily on the leaves and tree branches dripping down in little trickles. The uprising sun lit up the morning sky. Colours ranging from red to pink littered the sky casting specks of light through the treetops.
Aria was the first one awake. She was the only 'morning person' in the group. She stretched and sighed as her bones clicked into the comfortable position. Yawning, the black haired girl stood up, unzipped the tent as quietly as she could and winced as a grating noise ripped through the silence, the manufacturers didn't think to make zips that are quiet, she thought idly.
She gasped, as the bushes rustled, before shrugging it off as an animal.
Aria continued brushing her long knotty locks, then wrapping a bobble around her untameable hair.
The black haired girl sighed loudly and entered her tent to dress, a pair of deep blue jean shorts, a black AC/DC band tee, black converse and a dusky black leather jacket. On her back, she carried a small rucksack packed with the essentials. Aria knew it was dangerous but she just had to explore and she couldn't do that with Julie and David whining about how unsafe the forest was.
As quietly as she could she stepped over large sticks that would probably make a lot of noise when stood on. Taking one last look at the three tents, Aria continued through the shrubs and trees, ignoring the uncomfortable feeling in her stomach.
The creature didn't notice one member of the group was wandering through his woods as he made his way, at lightning speed through the dense undergrowth. He reached the camp in mere seconds. Stupid humans on my land, the creature thought savagely.
The occupants were getting ready for the day and didn't even think of their impending doom as he was watching, waiting, until that perfect moment.
