"N..nno.I know where we are.."Erica said not so sure of herself lookingaround at the trees."Erica,we've past this same log like 5 times."Sam saidpointing to a log they just past."How do you know thats the SAME log?"shequestion."Because Ive tripped over it EVERY time!It lookz like thesame."Sam brought to her attention."We cant be lost.How could be lost.Thiscant happen.We're gonna die!ZAAAAAAC!"Erica broke out goingcrazy."Erica..they're not going to hear us.Who knows how far we are fromthem.We have to turn around and try to find out way back."Sam said lookingat the darkness that surrounded her."Now,which way..."~~"Um.Taylor.Theyhave been gone for 3 hours now.It only took 2 for you and Sam.I knew weshouldnt have let them go out there alone.What if they're lost?Huh?Whatabout that?!"Zac asked shaking his brother."Zac.Dude.Calm down.Maybe theyare slow walkers."Taylor shrugged working on his tan."Maybe they'reDEAD!"Zac thought of the worst possible reasons for them beinggone."Zac,shut up.They're fine!Now chill."Taylor told his brother wishinghed shut up.~~"Zaaaaaac!Taylooooor!Helllllllllp!"Erica screamed as loud asshe could as her and Sam tried to find their way back."Erica SHUT up already.Geez,you're getting on my nerves."Sam scolded."Well,excuuuuuuseme.Im just a bit LOST here.Im not exactly sure how to handle thatyet!"Erica answered.She had about lost her mind about the time she realizedthey were lost."I know..I know..We'll make it back soon.Dont worry somuch."Sam tried calming her friend even though she was scared to death aswell.Who know if they'd make it out alive?

"Okay, Erica, just calm down. We'll be fine. Eventually, Tay and Zac will realize we're....lost and like they'll come and find us...no biggie, okay?" Sam said putting her hair behind her ear and holding on to Erica's arm to try and calm her. "Sam? Did you bring your bag?" Erica asked sitting down on the nearby log they continued to pass by. Sam groaned. "No, i left it on the beach with Tay and Zac. Why you hungry?" "Yes..." "I am too..." They sat there a little while and Erica looked at her watch to realize it was going on 11am. "Man...I wish Zac were here." She said putting her head in her hands. "Erica, it'll be okay. I'm sure they'll find us...soon..." ~*~ "Zac, ya know, I think you're right. They have been gone an awful long time. I think they did get lost." "I told you, Tay! Let's go try and find them...they must be hungry anyway...grab Sam's bag and I'll get Erica's...c'mon!" Zac said throwing Sam's bag to Taylor. Taylor caught it and slung it on his back. "Okay, which way did they go when they left?" he asked looking at 2 different paths. "Um, I think this way...they way you and Sam went that one time..." "What? We didn't go that way...we went this way!" "But, I thought..." "Wait, Zac...maybe we did go that way..." Taylor stopped and thought a moment. "We went this way...definitely." Taylor said beginning to walk with Zac next to him. "I hope..."

"Ericaaaa..My stomach hurts.I feel like Im going to pass out if I dont eatsomething soon."Sam said grabbing her stomach."I know.Same here.We need tofind food."Erica agreed looking around at the nearby shrubs and trees."Whyhavent Zac and Taylor found us yet?"Sam huffed as she plopped down on theground."I dunno.Hopefully they will soon.Im gettin scared out here..."Ericaanswered.~~"Saaaam!Ericaaaa!"Taylor called out as him and Zac made theirway down the path."Hey!Isnt that Sams hair scrunchie?"Zac said pointing toa scrunchie hanging on a limb Taylor had passed."Yah!Good goin."Taylor saidgrabbing it."Thank you.Thank you."Zac applauded himself."C'mon."Taylor saidrolling his eyes as he continued down the path.~~"C'mon,Erica.We gotta get movin."Sam sighed as she stood up brushing off her shorts."Alright,I guess.Why cant we just sit and wait for someone to find us?"Erica whined."You're so lazy gurl!C'mon!"Sam laughed grabbing Ericas arm and pullin her along.

"Sam! We shouldn't move whether we're tired or not! We should stay in the same place! If we move to somewhere else, Tay and Zac might totally miss us!" Sam stopped a minute. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Let's sit back over here." Erica and Sam took a seat back on that same annoying log. They both sighed and sat there hungry, and sweaty wanting at any moment for Taylor and Zac to show up...~*~ "ERICAAAAA????" Taylor screamed. "SAAAAAM!" Zac screamed along with them. The boys continued to scream their names as they walked along the path they thought maybe Sam and Erica had taken. "Man, Tay, this is so stressful. Where are they?" Zac said getting aggravated. "I don't know, but I am going to look if it takes me days..." "Same here..." ~*~ Erica and Sam soon fell asleep on each others shoulders when they felt someone shake them to wake 'em up. "Whuh, Taylor? Zac?" Sam said sleepily, Erica waking up too. "Don't stay here too long, if you can help it!!!" a man dressed in white said just before dissappearing into thin air...

Sam and Erica both just sat there staring at each other wondering if theyhad both seen the man."ZAAAC!!!!TAYLOR!!!!!"they both screamed as theyjumped up and began running.~~"Woah,Taylor,did you hear that?"Zac saidstopping."Hear what?"Taylor asked turning around."The girls,I think I heardthem."Zac said putting his finger to his mouth."TAYLORRR!!!!"Sam screamedabout ready to cry."Sam?!SAAMM!!"Taylor called out."Erica!Did you hearthat?The guyz.They found us!"Sam said looking at Erica.Erica gave herfriend a weird look.Sam and Erica stood there for a moment until the feltsomeone touch their shoulders."AHHHHHH!!"they both screamed as the took off running."Girls!Wait!Its us!"Taylor and Zac called out as the ran after them."Um.Oops?"Sam said turning around."Zac!!"Erica called as she ran andgave him a hug as Sam did the same with Taylor."Taylor,uhm,some guy liketold us not to stay here long."Sam said with a weird look on herface."Yah?Where'd he go?"Taylor asked looking around."Uhm.He kinda um likehe disappeared."She answered biting her bottom lip."Wha?Okay,I think weneed to get you guys some rest."
