The lake is a long way from here. The walk through the forest is a tiring one, I can feel drops of rain fall down my face as I stumble across the bridge into the forest. My heavy backpack starts to weigh me down. I turn behind me to make sure Kayla has not fallen behind, her face looks like she's ready to keel over and stop, but I have no time to let her. It is becoming dark, and every minute we waste is another minute we are away from home. I didn't mean to get us lost, I just wanted to explore the forest in this new town.

I pick up the slimy, slippery yet spiky branch and hope that it is long enough to reach Kayla at the bottom of the hole. “Climb up Kay, I'll hold it in place” I yell down.
“Okay I'm coming up” she replied, I can hear her struggle to lift herself up on the vertical branch. “You can do it, you're almost here. I say. I reach down to grab her hand. Nothing has ever felt more satisfying than to feel her grasp my hand, as I lift her up on the ground. Her valuable hug warms me in the rain and all of a sudden the whipping wind is no longer an issue. “You're safe now
