Road Trip

|Chapter 27

"I really want to prank them with some fake blood and shit." The first words that came out of my mouth after a long and awkward silence.

"Prank them?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Don't you think running away is enough? Also, how would they even find the fake blood?" She chuckles.

"Well..." I set her down. " We just smear blood on rocks."

"And where did you get fake blood."_

"Whoops" I gash a little bit of my sore from the previous week, and let it bleed out a little.

"OH MY GOD. STOP." Kia shouts at my face. I chuckle.

"Well there. That's how real pranksters do it. Push it to the limit. Over the limit. OUTSIDE THE BOXXXXXX."

"You're crazy." She grabs a bandage wrap and patches my sore, then she pulls out the Alcohol.

"NO NO NO, YOU'RE CRAZY. NOPE. NOPE. STAY AWAY FROM ME. KEEP THAT LITTLE BOTTLE OF HELL AWAY FROM ME."

"Awe it won't hurt that bad" she grins then chuckles.

"NO."

"Why not?"

"BECAUSE. JUST STOP."

"Fiiiine. You're such a downer."

"Haha thanks."

I give her another piggy back and walk deeper into the dark forest.

"Babe?" I notice Kia loosened her grip. I look behind me . oh, she's sleeping. I guess we can rest for a while.

I walk towards a fat trunk of a tree, and set Kia by the cool area. Looking around, I see birds and a lot of leaves. Yup. Leaves.

"LOVELY." I exclaim. I walk around and look at more trees. Odd. They seem like a pattern. Skinny trunk, fat trunk. Haha. Soon as I was done humoring myself, I heard a rattle coming from a nearby rosebush. Again with my curiosity, I walk towards the startling sound. Although what I found wasn't scary, it was amusing to see.
Two squirrels mating.

They stop as they notice me watching their every move. The female runs away, or I think it was the female. The other squirrel stared and watch me then ran away too. Upset that they stopped, I turned around and walked towards where Kia was sleeping .

As soon as I got there, I stopped in my tracks. Kiana wasn't there. Panicked and scared, I starting running around about forty feet in each direction, calling out her name often. Hoping she'd reply back , I got nothing .

Being the type of person who likes being adventurous, I climb the highest peak of the nearest tree, and shout out Kia's name.

I continued shouting for 20 minutes, then my voice started cracking. Losing hope, I went off to climb back down. Being the clumsy, irresponsible person I am, I had no climbing gear, and I lost my footing, then lost my grip the second I lost my footing, and fell back first, 15 feet into the ground. My whole body came into shock, and my back stung, then my vision faded.
