Loss of Identity

Ready For Adventure (1)

Hi my names Amber I am 16 years old and an orphan. Me and my best friend Josh have been planning with our friends to go out and explore, but first we have to find the place.

Me and Josh were getting packed up and ready to head out on are adventure. We had both agreed to meet our friends out at the beach.

"Are we all packed up?" I questioned.
"Yeah I'm just trying to zip it... AHA! There" He said triumphantly as he zipped up the bag.
I rolled my eyes at him "It's not as impressive as you think that was" I smirked.
"Whatever" He replied sarcastically. With that we headed to the car to meet the others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As we got out the car I heard a shout, It was Jack. He had a stupid grin plastered on his face, I laughed.
"You ready" he asked lifting me up.
"PUT ME DOWN!" I shrieked, giggling. He put me down and ruffled my hair playfully. Josh came over and handed me my bag. Jack eyed them curiously then smiled mischievously.
"Yep we're all set" Josh replied.

We followed Jack, curious for where it might lead. 'Where was Ryan during all of this?' I thought, as we continued on. As we were following the path Jack suddenly took a left turn off the track and into the forest. We fought our way through the trees and branches and finally came to a stop. We were now standing in a clearing that had a massive mountain behind it, there was a lake that shimmered like a thousands gems, that lead straight into the mouth of a cave. It almost didn't look real, but it was and it was glorious. How had no one found this place and also since when had there been a mountain here, but the more I looked the more hypnotized I became. No one had been here until today.

Suddenly Jack started to walk again, heading straight towards the mouth of the cave, we followed wondering where Ryan was.

Out of no where, Jack took his shirt and shorts off and I blushed madly looking away. "Wha-what are you doing." I stuttered.

"Huh?" he looked over confused, his eyes widened and he blushed "W-well we have t-to meet Ryan, th-that means we have to go through the water." he said rubbing the back of his neck, still blushing.
"Cool!" Josh exclaimed "-but wait what do we do with our bags? They will get wet?" Josh ask curiously.
"Well you don't need them, you can leave them here, we have everything we need already inside." Jack said, grinning cheekily.

"WHAT! Then what was the point in bringing these!" I yelled.
"You should see the look on your face, priceless!" Jack laughed holding his stomach "Really the only reason I did it was to see the look on your face, and clearly that paid off." He smirked, I punched him in the arm, he pouted and rolled his eyes. He packed his clothes in his bag and Josh did the same.
"Um ok I'm gonna go over there and get changed. Follow me and I will drown you! That's a promise!" I threatened.
"Ok ok" They both put there arms up in surrender, with grins on their faces. I rolled my eyes and left.

When I came back I saw the boys sitting and chatting. I put my stuff down and they turned to me standing up.
"You all set?" Josh asked, I could see the blush appearing on the pairs faces.

"Yeah" I said looking down to hide my embarrassment.

"OK LETS GO!" Jack yelled racing off straight towards the water and then jumping in, Josh followed close behind.
I did the same, but as soon as I hit the water I froze. Something didn't feel right. No it wasn't the temperature of the water being cold, actually it was rather warm. I just suddenly felt uneasy.
I noticed the boys waving at me to follow, I shrugged off the feeling and swam to them.

We continued through the cave and it seemed to be lit up by some sort of natural light source. It almost looked like the gem formations on the ceiling were glowing. It was magical. We then came upon a huge opening, were the water seemed to pool around the edge of a shoreline, it had been eroded out of the mountain face.

We climbed up out of the water and there on the shoreline, I finally saw Ryan. All huddled up in his winter jacket. I laughed, it wasn't even cold.
