DJ breathed in the peace and joy of his reunion with his friends. He smiled as they reminisced on their lives, painting a picture for him to imagine. He was truly happy. These were pure and true friends, ones that you couldn't just pick off the street. They had been through a lot together, and thankfully the bond they shared had not faded. But suddenly, the smile on DJ's face left him. Something was strange. It was if the forest itself had grown tired of the groups loitering, and was about ready to kick them out. He could feel the woods' hostility, but he just shook it off as anxiety. Then it happened.<br/><br/>All sources of light dissappeared, including the fire, and even the evening sky. It was worse than pitch-black. This was the kind of darkness that you couldn't describe, you could only experience. As DJ made sure his friends were all right, he felt another presence, a living one, in the forest. He heard a faint hum, and looked down to see his most prized zen medallion glowing. It had been decorated with the small gem that had been given to him at camp, a light green orb that stuck out at the center of the sign.<br/><br/>There was then another light, brighter than the gem. It appeared in the forest, a low glow that bounced as if it was being held by someone.<span style="font-style: italic">â€œThis way!â€</span>a voice echoed out into the night, coming from the light, probably the one holding it. As DJ started to run, there was a primal roar that rattled DJ's very soul. Various emotions entered his mind at that point: fear, panic, worry, confusion. The number one thought though, was that him and his friends had to move. The beast, or whatever it was, wasn't going to stand there waiting for them. DJ knew that they had to make it to the light, and so he made sure all his friends were on their way to the lamp. Although he wanted to get to safety, the safety of his friends came first in his mind, even amidst his own fear. He brought up the rear of the pack, making sure the others were ahead of him, and helping those who had sumbled on the way. He could feel the creature chasing them.<br/><br/>Luckily all of them had made it to the light, and DJ turned back to where they had come from. "What the hell was that?! That doesn't sound like a bear, or any kind of animal for that matter." Once again he felt like the forest was angry, but he had no idea why. The only thing he knew for certain now:<br/><br/><span style="color: #408000">Their reunion at the camp would have to be cut short. Survival came first.</span>
