As I wiggled my way under the heavy tarp I kept looking about. I had been right about the trees. One was even nearby blocking anyone from seeing me or me seeing anyone. I couldn't figure out if that was a good thing or not. Halfway out of the tent I flexed my foot funny and had to stop trying not to yelp in pain. It was a small yelp, but loud enough that Mini-Cyrus (I decided to nickname the girl. Wasn't feeling too creative at the moment) and the gruff man, I suspected to be Daggers, to suddenly stop arguing. I had been so absorbed in my escape that I hadn't noticed they were still talking until they had stopped. Oh crap. As if it hadn't been pounding hard enough, my heart sped up. Gotta get out. Now!
Pushing the tarp above me so as not to disturb it any more than I had to, I slid the rest of the way out as smoothly and quickly as possible. I fell back onto the nearby tree facing the tarp that had fallen back down into a wall separating me from the shadowy figure within. I covered my mouth feeling sick again. I didn't feel like checking my surroundings with the dark outline still there. I could hear Minnie ("Short" for mini-Cyrus, I'm just getting more and more creative aren't I?) run over to the corner babbling the whole way. I kept my hand over my mouth as the shadowy figure spoke back and ultimately began to withdraw. For a moment time around me froze before everything picked back up. I felt a crazed grin on my face that I had no doubt in my mind would have made anyone thought that I was absolutely insane. Which only made me grin wider. Finally, I began to better acquaint myself with my new surroundings. Trees. Nice. It seemed that the tent I had been in was the farthermost one of the campsite. I could hear noisy carts and the pounding of hooves from behind the tent. Remembering again that I was supposed to be laying on a cot injured and that if they were packing up they would most likely, at some point, go to wake me. Turning my face to the woods away from the camp I took a deep silent breath. I would be fine. I think.

A/N
This chapter is so short and all over the place (in my opinion, but ya know) so once again someday I shall fix it up and make it more concise, I think that's the word...
Some questions for the next chapter:
Q. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HAPPEN?!
(not as desperate as I seem, but I'm getting close to running out of ideas... well not really, but I still want more!)
Look it's only a few minutes after 10! I'm posting early by the day! (by minutes, but still, I demand praise!)
Far thee well till our next encounter~
