KALEBS P.O.V

"Uhh.. Who or what was that ?" Astrapes asked.

"It was the molten twins." I replied.

"Ohh" she said her face looked a little bit confused.

No one said anything back, and for a moment we all just stood there in silence.

I looked to Layne, he just looked his sword over.

I finally speak up breaking the silence.
"Alright so we should probably get going. We aren't gonna get anything done standing around."

Layne looks up from his sword his face a little bit clueless like he had just woke up from a daydream "yeah um first we need to go back to the swamp I lost my backpack when the tree jumped us"

I nodded and he walked off to go find it.

Layne was quick at finding the swamp we first saw. The girls and I waited for Layne while he ran and grabbed his backpack.

He walked out backpack over his shoulder's.

"Ready ?" He asked.

"I guess as ready as I'll ever be." I respond.

"Where exactly are we going ?" Pyra asked.

"Don't know where ever the clause lead us." Layne says back.

"So we are just supposed to trust your Guy's guts?"

"What do you think we've been running on since we got these rings?" Layne laughs.

Prya and astrapes laughed.

"This way" I say walking off past where the old volcano exit was.

Behind me I heard Layne and the girls talking and laughing. Most often they would say something to me but I just nodded.  I don't know why but I felt different like I had a stomach ache and a head ache, but at the same time I didn't.

Layne ran up to my side "what's wrong bro? You haven't said much since we've started walking."

I must have not noticed to answer him back. A few minutes later Layne speaks up.

"Earth to kaleb." He said waving his hand in front of me.

I blink rapidly "oh sorry, dude I must have zoned out."

"Must have ? You mean you did."

I crack a slight smile, but my mind zones out almost immediately.

Layne must have noticed I zoned out again because he dropped back to the girls.

We had been walking for what felt like a mile or two. We made it into a forest place. It felt different but it wasn't like how the scenery would change when we had a new test. But once we were inside the Forest the air felt damp and cool. It was almost easier to breath the damp cold air.

New clothes would definitely come in handy right about now.

"How much more longer are we going to walk ?" Astrapes asked.

"Just a little while longer, it might be better if we cover more ground." I reply.

She didn't say anything back but let out a sigh.

We walked for about 30 more minutes when Layne said.

"Ok I'm ready to stop my feet are killing me."

I stop and turn around "Ok fine, we can make camp here."

I took out the two sleeping bags and laid thenlm softly on the floor.

"Wait we have a problem." I say.  "We only have two sleeping bags but four people."

"It's ok we can sleep on the floor it doesn't bother us." Pyra said.

I looked at the girls then back at Layne.  "No its fine me and Layne can sleep on the floor, we will be fine."

Layne made a weird face like he was mad that he had to give up his worm sleeping bag, but he didn't say anything.

"Thanks!" Pyra said.

"Hey Layne we are gonna need some fire wood." I say.

"On it" Layne said enthusiastically than his body sat a flame and he walked off.

He came back in under 5 minutes with a pile of wood in his fiery hands.

I go grab a few pieces from Layne "Great, now if only we had some food"

"Oh, I do, I have some popcorn from the molten twins." Layne said pulling popcorn out of his backpack.

"Why would they give you popcorn?" Praia asked.

Layne Shrugged. "Why do they do anything?"

Praia shrugged.

Me and Layne put the firewood in place and Layne place his hand by it and it went up in flames.

I turned back a sat down next to strap on my sleeping bag.

My hair fell down to my face. I hadn't noticed it, but my hair had gotten pretty long, but I don't mind. I like long hair better anyways. I pushed it back out of my eyes. Layne's was also long, but notgrabrly as long as me. We could also use a shower and some clean clothes. Or any clothes that didn't have holes in them.

Layne was sitting down across from me on the other side of the fire next to pure. I could hardly see him through the tall flames of the fire.

It was getting dark and Layne restlessness popcorn.

"Yummy!" Said Astrapes.eating, thenkcleannd the fire pouring popcorn in each layer hand.

The pfinishedwas probably the best I've ever had. I think I ate the quail, I cause wit's I looked up Layne pray and straps were still eating.

"What do you guys think it's going to be like ?" I asked the group.

"What do you mean?" Layne responded.

"This next test like thing or whatever it is. What if we don't finish and we are stuck down here for pure rest of our lives?"

Layne's face turned to a frown "I-" he paused, and we just sat there in silence.

No one talked or said another word. I let in big yawn. "Alright, I think I'm going to go to bed." I say rolling off out of the sleeping bag and onto the floor.

I closed my eyes to get some sleep. It felt like it had been forever since I last slept.

It felt like as soon as I shut my eyes I was being woken up by Layne.

"Wake up sleepy head, " he said, standing over me.

He held out a hand to help me up I grabbed it and he pulled me up straight.

I rubbed my tired eyes.

"I'm hungry, is there anything for breakfast?" I ask.

Layne smiles. "The molten twins got us donuts."

My face lit up, I loved donuts.

"Where are they?" I ask.

Layne points to a box next to him.

I walk to the box and grab a chocolate donut, my favorite.

"You'll never guess what else they got us." Layne said.

"The exit without us having to find it?" I say sarcastically.

Layne laughs "no stupid, shirts."

Layne tossed me a black shirt and I threw off my old one and put this one on. I can't believe I didn't notice Layne had a new shirt.

We all finished eating, then clean up camp. I took a sleeping bag and Layne took one.

We finished cleaning and were standing atogether in a small circle.

"Well I think its time we go our separate ways...Again" Layne said.

I laugh "yup"

The two girls hugged and me and Layne fist bumped "see you at the exit?" I asked.

Layne nodded "sure will" Layne felt his sword handle behind his back to make sure he had it.

I then turn to pyra "It was nice fighting with you Pyra, but I guess I'll see you at the exit with Layne."

She nodded in agreement, then me and Astrapes walked off into a different direction of the forest then Layne and Pyra, 

Me and Astrapes were now on our new Journey.
