(11) Blindfold Panic

                            Unis POV
       "Ok...What now?" Jon questioned as we stood inside the town. I felt the ground tremble beneath us as the big, stone gates behind us began to close. I tapped my feet, feeling the well-made gears inside the gates. What a fascinating mechanism... I thought deeply to myself. I loved mechanics and building things back when I could see. I also loved drawing, and any form of art. I built a robot once. He was blue, my favorite color.. But I lost him when my town... Nevermind. "What do you think we should do, Uni?" I suddenly heard Cory ask, snapping me out of my longing thoughts. My head snapped his direction, "O-Oh, I don't really care, what do you guys think we should do?" I said quickly.

      I could sense Cory's questioning atmosphere, and I knew he was probably gonna question me about what I was thinking about. "I personally think we should explore this place. I mean, we were all excited to come here, so why not explore it?" Ashlie said. The others nodded in agreement, all except for Tommy. I heard Tommy shift nervously beside Nick, "Im not sure That's a good idea..." He murmured. "I'll go with you Tom, if you're really worried about it." Nick suddenly said quickly, a little too quickly. I felt a suprised atmosphere surround Tommy, "Really? Ok! But I honestly think we should explore in groups." Tommy said. I nodded, "Sounds good. I'll go with Cory, Jon and Ashlie can go together, and of course Nick and Tommy." I said. Everyone agreed, and all of our small groups went their separate ways.

        "Tommy is SUCH a scaredy cat." Cory said with a playful huff. I smiled slightly and shrugged, "Well, groups were a good idea." I said simply. "I guess..." Cory murmured, and I heard him adjust his hood from beside me. He had an anxious vibe surrounding him, but im used to it by now. Everytime we're ever in a town, he gets extremely anxious that someone is going to see his lense. Though, no one ever does. I felt peoples judging gazes bore into Cory and I, but it just seems easier to me to ignore it. Cory shifted slightly beside me as we walked, "Don't worry about them... Let's just have fun." I whispered to Cory, and I felt him loosen up beside me.

      We continued to walk and chat casually, then I noticed that there was more people around us. "We're going into a crowd." Cory warned. I nodded, "Ok..." I murmured. Crowds were always difficult for me, because it was hard to sense Cory beside me when the ground was shaking from everyone walking around us. "Do you need me to hold you hand~?" Cory cooed playfully. I huffed, "No, I have legs. The real question is, can you keep up?" I challenged playfully. Cory scoffed, "Hah! Of course!" He said loudly. I smiled, and Cory and I entered the crowd, still talking to each other happily.

      Cory and I were still in the crowd, but we'd stopped talking a few minutes ago. "This place is pretty neat, isn't it Cory?" I said happily, but there was no answer. "Cory?" I questioned again, but still there was no answer. I stopped for a moment, trying to sense where he might've gone, but as soon as I stopped walking, someone pushed me. I stumbled a bit, but quickly regained my footing. I decieded not to stop in the middle of a busy crowd. I sighed, I can make my way around here alone, Cory will probably find me soon enough... I thought to myself as I began to carefully make my way through the crowd, alone.

      I wonder where the others are.. I wondered to myself as I kept walking. Maybe I'll run into them.. I mean, this town can't be THAT big, can it? I continued to wonder. Then, I realized that while I was thinking, I had walked out of the crowd. I tapped my feet lightly, sensing that I was now in a small alley, and it had a dead end. "Oh, I better pay more attention..." I murmured. But when I turned around to leave the alley, I became aware of people near me... Standing in my exit of the alleyway. My body tensed as I realized that it seemed that these guys didn't have good intentions. I tapped my feet, sensing whoever was seemingly trapping me. There was two people, males, and they seemed to be about the same age. They were both wearing hoodies, and one of the had a hoodie with dinosaur spikes going down the back, and a dinosaur hood, and I could just barely sense the big R incrested on the front. The other wore a similar dinosaur hoodie, but his had a tale hanging from the back. And the boy also seemed to be wearing a eye patch on his right (?)  eye.
