"Kieth , Keith , Keith " I found myself half call, half cry out to the black abyss that surrounds me .Which I know for a fact to be the trees.

It wad starting yo get cold and the light of the moon was being blocked out by the clouds every so often, leaving me in complete darkness.

I found myself knowing he hadn't left . He just had to be busy , or something had gotten in the way , I'm sure.

"Sam , Sam are you all right?" I herd from behind me, I twisted to see nothing . the it came from the west then a few moments later from the north and then finally it fame from the south and it fell quiet .

I felt like I was going insane , I was hearing voices in my head , I was feeling materials that I had imaginedible were there and I found myself look up st the sky only to realise that it hurt to look up at the stars and the moon.

Suddenly a figure steped out,of the trees it was Penny, I ran towards her but as I hurled myself on her she vanished like a cloud of smoke.

I slink back to the tree stub in the middle of clearing.

I started to concentrate , and think clearly."You need to find the way back to the party."I thought logically.

I started to move towards the border of the trees ,But as I got to the brink of the forest ,I was so close I could feel the needles from the pine trees on ny skin.A snarl picked up. I shot back towards the center, tripping over the tree stub .

Then nothing .....a while later ,nothing......

Till I finally had the courage to go towards the wood .I.got too the nearest tree. the Snell of pine filled my nose ,and the feel again reached my fingertips....nothing, so I take a step further into the woods. then q low rumble , and I knew I was going to stay here for a while. So I slunk back to the stub to get some rest.

----------------

It was early mourning when I woke up with a searing pain in my back that reached my upper back left leg. I couldn't hear anything. 

nor could I see anything so I ran in the direction of my house, fast as I could. I'm too hungry , cold ,wet and tired to care about a lone wolf. surprisingly I got home in one piece, and just in time for breakfast.

I slid open the French window that lead from the porch to the kitchen. Then the smell of pancakes hit me , and it hit me hard. that I had to step back.I cautiously crept into the kitchen only noticing mum's back. but it was too late.

"So where were you?"

"Stuck in the middle of the woods."I answered.I closed my eyes ready for the shock to hit, I knew she didn't like me going in the woods late at night, but who does? But my mum's a news freak and trusts every murder, rape and kidnapping there is and says most of them occur in secluded areas, and that is why she doesn't like us hanging around the woods.

"You were un the woods, after everything I said to you." She said with a plate full of blueberry pancakes. But as she looks up she drops them.'Bummer , where are you 

going to get you're food now?" My brain thought obsessing over the doomed pancakes.

But luckily Monica's "simply perfect in every way fiance was here, aka Ronan. Before I blinked he had managed to throw a random pillow in the exact spot at the perfect time , thus saving the not-so-doomed pancakes.I quickly lunged for the food but was held back by dad.
