As we walked in the deep forest, the sun shone under our legs, giving light to the dim forest. This was the best part of the day. And also the best part of the forest. The trees left a little space between them so that the early sunlight could come in. Walking silently, only hearing our own footsteps and the sound of dry leaves being crushed under our feet.

I couldn't turn around as what I heard frightened me, but as I lifted my head, I saw the warning again, it was carved on wood. It was written:
SOS!
