The Mysterious Lady In the Woods

Craig and Brian were the first ones to reach the rushing water with the others trailing behind them. Jonathan and Evan laughed and talked with each other, Ryan occasionally butting in the conversation. Brock, Lui, and Luke were also inside their own little circle which leaves to Marcel, David, and Joe to have their own little chat. Brock glanced over to his left and saw Tyler walking slower than anybody, both hands inside his pockets.

Brock decreased his own speed to try and catch up with Tyler, giving the six-foot tall friend a warm smile. "Hey, bud. Care to share what's in your mind?" Tyler who whipped his head towards his shorter friend with wide eyes before sighing. "Oh, Brock, it's just you..." Tyler sighed in relief which made Brock raise a brow, "were you expecting someone else?" The raven-haired asked and this seemed to get a reaction.

"Huh? What? Oh, no, just–" Tyler averted his gaze away, by doing this, he accidentally caught someone else's eyes. His blue eyes widened and his cheeks began flaming red. His heart beat loudly against his chest and he just doesn't understand what's happening to him. Brock worriedly stared at his frozen friend, waving a hand in front of the guy. He then traced over his friend's gaze and sure enough, he saw other pair of chestnut eyes staring back at Tyler. Once Evan realized more than one had begun staring him, he immediately averted his gaze back to Jon who was telling a joke.

"Uh-huh..." Brock spoke breaking the stance, Tyler wildly shook his head and huffed, "what?" Brock just shrugged him off, "oh, nothing," and caught up with the others who had finally arrived at the waterfall.

Tyler's ears filled with rushing water smacking hard on the body of water once it reached the ground. Brian ran pass by Tyler, pushing him slightly to invite his friend up. "What are you just standing there ya pussy!" Brian called out which made Tyler break a smile, "Oh yeah? You think you can do better than me you Irish fuck?" Brian laughed and continued head up the rocks for a jump, Tyler excitingly following him from behind.

Taking off his sunglasses, Luke grinned over with the freshwater, punching Jonathan lightly on the arm. "I bet that I could jump higher than you," he exclaimed to his blue-eyed friend. Jonathan just laughed and waved his hand, "I bet that I could jump higher than you." Marcel then butted in with money on his hand, "I bet I could beat ya both!" Roaring in laughter, Lui watched as David had a hard time dealing with his insecurity, the shorter teen just elbowed the taller one by the arm before giving the Irish fella a reassuring smile before taking off his own shirt, showing David to follow him and not worry. David gave a chuckle before deciding to slide off his white shirt and leaving on his green shorts.

Marcel ran pass Luke and Jonathan towards the top of the boulder before giving in a leap, "CANNONBALL!" The teen shout creating a huge splash that affected both Ryan and Craig who were peacefully sitting on the sides. "Marcel!" The two called out over their laughing friend, "AAAaaaAahh!!!" Brian shouted as he cannonballed downward the water before swimming upwards with a huge grin on his face, Tyler beside him just splashed water against the Irish fella before climbing out the mass of water to check over his belongings.

As he made his way over to his bag, he heard name getting called out, "Eyo Tyler!" The tallest teen turned around and watched as his Canadian best friend runs for a leap, graciously striking a dumb yet funny pose before curling up and making in an h-u-g-e splash, affecting all about two meters away from the side. Tyler chuckled as he jogged back over to the edge and reached out his hand for his friend, "nice man, that was a sick jump!" He commented as Evan raised his head up, running a hand over his wet hair, giving Tyler a smirk before grabbing the Tyler by his wrist, "that's not the only thing I can do that's sick," the mischievous glint in Evan's eyes was enough to stun the taller teen and catch him off guard. Smirking, dark, chestnut colored eyes stared intently towards the wide opened sky blue eyes before they both fell into the mass of liquid.

All of the other laughed, successfully pranking their friend, Tyler was the first one to swim upwards with Evan second, Marcel's smile fell when he saw Craig ran up to the two with worry plastered on his face, holding a hand out for Tyler to grab on which he ignored and lift himself out the stream, pissed off/embarrassed and Craig running to catch up to the taller friend. He then felt a tap on his left and turned to see Joe with a sympathetic smile, "c'mon, we're here to have fun!" Marcel shook his head before forcing a smile, from his peripheral vision, he saw Evan successfully getting out of the stream and taking a seat next to Brock.

The afternoon continued with Jonathan, Luke, Evan and Marcel competing and betting on whose jumps are higher, Ryan, Craig, and Joe decided to have a regular swim and away from the dangerously jumping boys. Brock just stood by the sides and dipped his feet underwater, occasionally listening to Brian and Tyler's conversation. Then David would start raging when water hits him and Lui especially because he just wants to sit next to his best friend peacefully.

Joe noticed that the sun was about to set and all of the guys decided to head back to the cabin. As they followed the path back, Luke and Jonathan shamefully giving up ten bucks to Evan who apparently won the bet. They all stopped when an old, grey-haired woman stood their way. She was wearing a rabbit foot as a necklace around her neck, she was also holding a withered yet sturdy crane with mysterious symbols shown around it. Neither of them could utter a word as her grey eyes staring them down, holding her hand up before giving them a toothy grin and eventually leaving the path.

After a good three minutes, Brian was able to breathe out, "what the actual fuck was that?"
