Entropy

Part 3

Here let me see it" James requests

Miranda hands the map to James. he looks at it for a moment then walks over to a tree and holds the map on the tree so everyone can see.

" we were on trail 4A which is right here." he points on the map where it has a red dot that says 4A below it.

"We walked up around here with the group." He drags his finger about a quarter of the way up the trail.

"We diverged from the group around here and we ran left. I can hear running water faintly so we must be by the creek right here." he points to where it says flowerfield creek. One of the many creeks in the forest.

"So I think we are some were in this area" he circles an area not far from the creek

"Then we should keep going forwards for a while then we should turn right then we will go from there." James hands Miranda the map.

"Thank you James"

"No problem Miranda"

We all start walking then I hear a stick snap and I turn around. I am guessing William also heard it because he also turned around. The other two notes that we had stopped so they had also stopped.

"What's up? Why did you stop?" Miranda had asked

"Shhh"

"Why what is going on?" Miranda asks

"I heard something"

I slowly walked towards where the Sound came from behind a tree. I make sure I am as quiet as possible. I Look behind the tree and there is nothing there. It would be funny if I pulled a prank though. So I turned around With a completely straight face.

"I think it was just an animal cuz i dont-" I cut my self off then I pretended to be grabbed and I screamed.

"Milly!" William shouts. I hear him running towards where I am. I also hear the others Rush to where I am at. He turns the corner and looks at me. It takes him a moment to realize what is going on when he finally figures it out his face immediately changes from terrified to unamused. I laugh at the sight.

"your an asshole" William says

"aw thank you" I stepped out from behind the tree and the others looked confused then the moment it clicked their faces had changed immediately as well. I was laughing so hard My sides hurt.

"That was just rude!" Miranda states

" I agree with Miranda that was uncalled for." James says

"It was revenge for scaring me"

"Ugh whatever, let's continue walking" Miranda says snobbishly

We all start walking once more but this time in silence. In the corner of my eye I can see William staring at me. I slow down my walking speed so I am side by side with William.

"Why are you staring at me and James?"

"Oh, sorry I hadn't realized I was staring"

"Did you zone out or something?"

He goes quiet for a moment "yeah I did, I just have a lot on my mind"

"....well do you want to talk about it?"

He sighs " as long as you promise not to tell anyone"

"I promise"

"It's just me and James used to be very close, almost like brothers him and I but a few years back and he and I got into an argument and then he moved away. Ever since then I have wanted to apologize but whenever I try he ignores me or tries to change the subject."

"It sounds like you need a hug."

"Yeah that would be nice thank you"

I embrace him in a hug and he wraps his arms around me, his hug is oddly comforting and warm. Both him and I pull away from each other, I turn and we both start walking again.

"As for what you should do, in my opinion you should stop trying. He is obviously not going to listen to you and trying to fix your relationship Is not going to help, it will end in an augment or the relationship will be worse than it was before."

"Yeah, you're probably right." William sounds sad his head droops down. (I should change the subject). Before I can say anything Miranda yells "hurry up you two!" I looked towards where Miranda's voice was coming from. They were so far from us I could barely see them. I start rushing towards them, I hear William running next to me. In a matter of minutes we catch up to the other two. "Jeez you two are so slow, what were you two talking about?"

"Not much, we were just talking about woodworking"

"I thought you said you would stop that hobby, considering what happened last time"

"Wait what happ-" William starts then i interrupt him

"I have stopped, I can still talk about it"

"No we agreed upon to never talk about it or participate in woodworking again"

"You're Not remembering correctly, I agreed that I would never talk about the accident or continue that hobby. We said nothing about talking about it in general."

"But we did"

"No we really didn't"

"Omg it's just like the archery accident"

"What?" James said but neither me or my sister acknowledged it

"You have no right to bring that up in this conversation, I thought we resolved that augment years ago."

"Well we didn't, I am still mad with you because of what you did."

"Oh what I did, how it was my fault, You got in the way, what did you expect me to do.?"

"How about Not shoot my fucking leg!"

"You ran in front of my shooting range!"

"You had time to unAnchor your arrow!"

"No I didn't, right as I released the arrow you ran into the range!"

"OK, THAT'S ENOUGH!" James yells. Both me and Miranda shut up.
