Whispers Of A Nameless Fear 🪼🐇

Trap Time - Night 1

After what seemed like forever, Lytton Ferry stopped running and panted hard, putting his hands on his knees to try and catch his breath. He looked around him and adjusted his glasses, wondering where he was in the course of the forest. Just as he was about to explore his new environment, he heard a scream and someone running through the bushes. He turned just as someone ran into him and they both fell to the ground. Lytton shook his head and focused on who was on top of him.

"Keila?" he asked, confused.

Keila Bear looked down at who she had ran over and then made a face, pulling back quickly and standing up.

"Ew, gross, how come I had to end up being paired with *you?"

"It's not like I planned it..." he grumbled, sitting up and adjusting his glasses again. "Besides, better to be paired up than out here by yourself."

The sound of the wind in the trees made both of them jump and Keila shivered, rubbing her exposed arms with her hands since she was in a tank top.

"I... I guess that's true... Well, you're a nerd, so how do we get out of this place?"

"I might know a lot but I'm not a topographer." Keila stared at him. "I can't read maps and I can't read the landscape."

"Oh... Well then what use are you?"

Lytton just shrugged as Keila scoffed at him, undoing her messed up brown ponytail and putting it back up. Lytton was shy and didn't speak to a lot of people, so being paired up with an especially pretty girl like Keila was a dream come true for him. She was a gorgeous caramel color and had rich dark brown hair. Her eyes were almond shaped and housed brown eyes that went on for days. She was on the cheerleading squad.

"Will you stop ogling at me, weirdo, and at least think of something for us to do in the time being? I mean, unless you want to get eaten by those fucked up deer?"

"No, um... how about we just go this way?" he said, pointing.

"Whatever, loser, just lead the way."

They began walking deeper into the forest.

********************

The hours seemed to drag as the two of them followed a path that seemed strangely marked out for them. Lytton thought that that was a bit odd, considering that the forest didn't really seem that accommodating to the rest of the world. A scream echoed in the forest and Lytton stopped, Keila right behind him. She grabbed a hold of his hoodie he was wearing and he looked over his shoulder at her.

"Don't get any ideas, nerd."

"You don't have to be mean to me. No one's here to judge you..."

"If we get out of this mess, I don't want you to think we had some sort of bonding moment or whatever. Seriously, I don't even know your name."

"It's Lytton Ferry. I sit behind you in English class... you always steal my homework and copy it..."

"Oh, is that who you are? I honestly didn't notice because I didn't *care."

Lytton pulled away from her fingers and brushed out the hoodie.

"You're a serious bitch, you know?"

"Well you were the one who said we should stick together."

"That doesn't mean that I will accept you being mean to me. Seriously, do you even have a brain in that head of yours?"

"I don't know, do you have balls in those pants of yours? It's not like you could save me if something happened to me. I'd rather be saved by Valerie than to have to rely on you."
