     I looked around looking around the forest for Benjamin. I looked for tracks, or anything he could have dropped- nothing. I made my way back to the bunker and looked for Benjamin. Nothing. Of course. I went back outside and heard some shuffling and a snapped branch. I did a forward handspring and then some front flips until I was a few feet away from the source of the noise. I grabbed an arrow and pulled on the bow string. I waited for a movement,a sound,anything but after standing there for 15 minutes nothing fidgeted.  Probably a bird or squirrel. I walked back to the bunker entrance when someone grabbed my shoulder. I turned around to see Benjamin - bruised and bloody. I put his hand over my neck and carried him in the bunker. I made my way to the infirmary and cleaned Benjamin up. I made him some herbal tea and sat him down on a couch. He sipped his tea and then felt better. After a few minutes I asked what happened.
"The man turned out to be a psychopath. He told me I was chosen for an ancient sacrifice" he said
"Yep thats totally normal" I said
"I am gonna go to sleep" Benjamin said.
"Boo Goodnight" I said
"Goodnight" he said
