It was pitch black. Nothing could be seen. Morgan and the others were walking through the forest.

"How can you see anything!?" Morgan complained. It was bad that it was pitch black, but worse that she didn't have her glasses.

"Well i do go night scavenging." Rory said.

"I gaurd day and night." Ally answered

"I don't know, it's easy." Beckham replied.

Some of the realm decided to head back to the base so now it was only: Morgan, Rory, Lauren, Ally, Traitor, Kevin, Nathalie, and a girl named Erin who hasn't talked once since the last time her and Morgan met.

"So, how far is this swimming hole?" Morgan asked

"Just past some trees up ahead, we are almost there." Ally said.

Morgan was continuing to walk through the darkness when SMACK.

"Are you okay?" kevin asked Morgan.

Morgan had just walked right into a tree.

"Yea, but I'm a bit numb." Morgan replied while holding her face.

"Here, how about we take a break from walking untill you re-gain feeling in your face." Nathalie or Nat suggested.

"But..... Swimming hole...." Rory said.

"Oh fine." she continued.

"I'll go get some wood to start a small fire." Beck Said while walking off into the distance.

"I can go look for some tools to fix your face" Nat said.

"I'll join" Rory spoke.

They walked off into the distance as well.

Kevin sat down on the ground and Erin leaned against a tree.

"Here" lauren said.

"Me and ally will go find some logs to sit on" she continued.

"If only i could see, i would help." Morgan said.

Ally and Lauren left.

Morgan sat down next to kevin.

She placed a hand over her eye hopping it would help even if she knew it wouldn't. Morgan did hit that tree pretty hard.

"I apologise for your sight disability." kevin said to morgan.

Though it was supposed to be a break, kevin was still holding a bundle of arrows on his back and a bow in his hand. Morgan can't remember the last time he took it off.

"Eh, it's okay... Everything is just blurry, ill get used to it." Morgan replied.

Kevin nodded.

"Hey I'm back" Beckham said.

He was holding a pile of fire wood and dry leaves.

He set them down in front of Morgan and kevin.

Soon enough everyone came back. They had a fire going and Nat was tending to morgans wounds.

"So let me get this straight. You don't have medicine?" Morgan questioned.

"Well not exactly. We don't have over world meds, but we do have our own type of healing solutions." Nat replied.

Then with a quick swipe of a leaf, Morgan's wounds were healing.

"Wait.... How are they healing so quickly?" Morgan asked.

"Growing may be slow here but when you have the right ingredients, you can do anything faster." Nat explained.

Morgan nodded.

"Hey, i have the chairs" lauren said comming back with ally.

They rolled in logs and everyone helped to put them in place.

"So..... Um...... I have to go" Morgan said.

"Wait,what, why?" Ally asked

"No i mean like.... I have to go...... Use the bathroom...... Like... Now" Morgan explained.

"Just go on a tree." Beckham said.

"Alone? In the dark? When i cant fucking see without my glasses?" Morgan said.

"Would you like me to come with you, pet?" beck said sarcastically.

"No but i need someone to." Morgan fought.

"You better be quick." Lauren said getting up.

"When you guys get back we should start to head out again." Rory suggested.

Lauren nodded and they started to walk.

As they walked leaves crunched under their feet. The trees above them were bare and the wind they knew was cold.

"This is far enough now hurry up" Lauren said.

Morgan nodded and stood behind a tree.

When she took a step behind the tree, the ground felt different.

Morgan pushed it off and stood the whole way behind the tree.

The ground then pushed down a bit.

"Woah." Morgan said moving off of that part of the ground.

"What's taking so long?" lauren complained.

"The ground.... It feels fake." Morgan said.

"Um... Okay?" Lauren said. She was puzzled.

"No like.... Something is under the ground." Morgan said.

Lauren walked around the tree to where Morgan was.

Lauren felt the fake surrface.

"The hell?" Lauren said kneeling down to the ground.

"Do you have a flash light or something?" Morgan asked.

"No, but i have matches." Lauren said pulling them out of her pocket.

"Don't you know you should never play with matches?" Morgan said.

"What?" lauren asked.

"Never mind." Morgan said.

Lauren lit a match.

Though it waa dim, it helped.

"This is strange." Lauren mumbled.

"What?" Morgan asked.

"There is an engraving in the grass... How can there be an engraving when it's dirt?" lauren quiestions.

"What does it say?" Morgan asked.

"Grey"

Morgan was puzzled.

"Wait" she said.

Morgan looked up the tree to see a dim engraving in the light.

"Chloe. ..... Arrow........ Grey ......" Morgan said.

Lauren felt around the grass to pull it up.

When the ground lifted up, it emerged A pitch black stair case.

"I'll be damned" Lauren said.

"What?" Morgan asked.

Lauren reached down to the first step of the stairs.

She brushed off the dust to reveal some words carved into the stair

Thoes words were.

No-one ever makes opinions
