Stuck In The Woods

9

The sky grew dark. Coiny was walking along the road... alone.

He would be walking for a while... including through a desert. Was it worth it?

Yeah, he wasn't about to let some psychopath steal his legs...

Coiny let out a sigh. "This... this will take a while."

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Pin felt as tears rolled down from her eyes. What if she gets murdered? Or one of the others? Where are the others?!

Pin whimpered a bit as she heard footsteps. "S-stay away! D-don't kill me!" She yelled.

"Pin, it's okay, it's just us," Firey said, grabbing her hand reassuringly.

Leafy felt envy sting at her mind, but dismissed it. "Pin, is this because Coiny left?"

Pin nodded, still teary-eyed. Leafy let out a laugh. "Don't worry about him! He will make it back home safely! You said you both walked there before, haven't you?"

Pin laughed nervously, "Y-yeah, I guess you're right... thanks Leafy."

Leafy snickered. "No problem! Oh Firey, why don't we go to sleep?! It is pretty dark out!"

Pin rolled her eyes and went into the truck.

"Oh uh, sure!" Firey replied, still unsure whether he trusted Leafy.

Once everybody got in the truck, Pin locked it so nobody could get in. But nobody could sleep. Leafy waited and waited but... nobody could sleep.

They all were uncomfortable. They all were nervous. None of them felt innocent.

"Leafy, a-aren't you tired? I thought you wanted to sleep?"

"No, I wanted YOU to get sleep... I-I mean, we both should..."

Pin stayed silent, kind of just stuck in her thoughts at the moment. What if Coiny gets lost? And is stuck wandering forever? She would never see him again!

"Leafy I want YOU to sleep first! Ladies first, y'know?"

Leafy scowled. "Fine," she muttered and closed her eyes.

After around a minute she opened them again. Firey was asleep. She smiled, but then saw Pin's reflection on the window. She was awake.

Leafy took another glance at Firey, and then back at Pin. "Pin," she whispered, causing Pin to flinch a bit.

"Y-yeah?" Pin whispered back.

"I feel sick... I'm gonna go throw up..."

"O-oh... let me come with you..."

Leafy and Pin quietly exited the car, and Leafy began to walk off.

"L-lets not go too far, okay?" Pin told Leafy, as the leaf went deeper into the woods.

"Uuuh, we really don't have to go this far!" Pin yelled as Leafy began walking faster, until she finally stopped outside of a cave.

"Look! Isn't it cool?!"

Pin grabbed Leafy's arm. "Th-that looks steep... we are not going in there!"

Leafy grinned, pulling Pin's grip off her. "Of course I'm not!"

"Oh thank goodn-" "But you are!"

Leafy pushed Pin into the hole, into the cave.

"OW! Why'd you do that?!" Pin yelled. Leafy began to walk off.

"L-Leafy?! Leafy! LEAFY THIS ISN'T FUNNY! G-GET BACK HERE! LEAFY!!!"

Leafy grinned. Pin would s u f f e r. She would be stuck down in that cave until she starves! How wonderful!

And now she just had to get rid of Firey.
