"Wahoooo!"
Shannon's laugh echoed through the woods as Tom, Rhydian, Maddy and Aden watched her in amusement. They'd been on their way to Bernies before school, when they came across this rope swing in the woods and they all decided to stop for a few minutes and have some fun. Each of them took turns grabbing on and swinging out. Currently, Shannon was up and the rest of them watched as she kicked her feet up and let the rope carry her across the clearing and back.
"Alright, my turn," Tom stepped up.
Shannon stepped back and Tom crossed his legs around the rope. He pretended to spit on his hands, rubbing them together and causing us all to laugh. He then grabbed on and let his feet up, swinging up and away.
But before the rope brought him back, something happened and Tom suddenly fell to the ground, landing in the dirt and leaves. Aden's eyes widened as they all rushed forward, carefully making their way down the small hill.
"Tom, are you alright?" Aden asked him in concern.
He gripped his hand over the middle of his leg, wincing in pain.
"Aw, my knee." He grimaced.
"Stay there," Rhydian told him, "Don't move it."
But Tom stood up anyways, looking off in the distance with a frown, "Someone's there. Someone is spying on us."
Tom walked forwards and they followed behind him as he stopped, looking around what Aden assumed to be the area where he saw someone. Frowning, Shannon crouched down to the ground, running her fingers over an area of dirt that had been disturbed, picking up a small, broken twig.
"This is where he was standing," Shannon nodded, throwing the twig back on the ground.
"So, he was spying on us." Tom concluded.
"How am I supposed to tell from a few broken twigs?" She looked up at him before standing up, "Come on, let's get out of here."
The two of them started walking, but Rhydian, Maddy and Aden held back for a few moments, sniffing the air and catching a familiar scent.
Aden frowned a little, feeling like the scent smelled a little like Rhydian but chalked it up to be that she was getting hints of his scent because he was standing next to her.
