The Adventure To The Great Lakes

Too Close

  Helen looked at the map for a couple more seconds before turning her face to Timothy. "Well, we should get going." Helen says as she looks at the map again as Timothy nod. "We will have to rest for now, rain is coming in the afternoon, so we will have to wait it off. " Timothy looks at the clouded sky moving in  a darkish grey color as I sit on the log looking at the map as drops of rain land on my palms. "It's already starting to rain." Helen says as the rain starts to sprinkle on the map and my hair starts getting a bit drenched as I move under a tree Timothy follows and sits next to me. "How long do you think this rain will keep up for?" Helen asks as she puts her hand out as drops of rain fall in her palm. "I'm not sure, but it wouldn't take long for the rain to stop. We have time Helen don't worry about it. Timothy says as he looks at me titling his head a bit and I smile and nod as we wait for the rain to stop. "We should be moving Timothy, this rain might not stop anytime soon, so we mineaswell start getting a move on. Helen says as she gets up and picks up her bag as her hair is drenched in water and Timothy sighs before getting up. "If we get struck by lighting who's gonna give me my so called "promised" 21 peanuts. Timothy says as he crosses his arms and smiles a bit as I chuckle. "Oh Timothy, who said anything about lightning? And I already promised I would give you 21 peanuts after I find out who's waiting for me." Helen says as she smiles and  continues walking down the trail as she turns her attention to Timothy. "How much farther?" Helen asked in a curious tone as she leans over to look at the map as Timothy examines the map and turns to Helen. We have a-bout a quarter of a mile left to walk. Timothy says as he folds the map once again. "What's that?" Helen asked pointing to the glowing yellow tree in front of her. "What's what? Timothy asked confused as he looks around. "The glowing tree!" Helen points as Timothy looks in her direction to see a normal tree. 

"Helen, are you feeling okay? That's a perfectly normal tree."

Timothy says as he shakes his head as Helen narrows her eyes to see the tree still glowing infront of her as she walks up to it. "It is glowing Timothy! I can see it! Helen says as she touches the tree making it light up as Timothy covers his eyes with his arm and Helen looks at the tree in surprise. "What in the?" A face of wood appears on the tree as Timothy uncovers his eyes and blinks a couple times to see a face staring back at him. "Hello Helen." The tree says as Helen looks at the tree curiously and Timothy as Helen turns to Timothy. "Your afraid of talking trees?" Helen whispers as Timothy smiles sheepishly. "Who wouldn't be scared of a talking tree!" Timothy frowns as Helen chuckles and looks back at the tree who as smiling. "I'm very glad about your little chat here but I should get to my point." The tree says as their expression changes to a serious tone.  Helen you are looking for the land of Mary, and I  sorry to say it is in a dangerous place, no one has ever past Mary and never will." What..?"
