You had thought this hike would be simple—a quiet escape into nature with Kaya Scodelario. But now, hours later, the sun was dipping low, and the forest around you seemed endless.
"I think… we took a wrong turn somewhere," Kaya admitted, her voice tinged with worry. She brushed leaves from her jacket and glanced around at the dense trees.
"It’s okay," you said, trying to keep your own panic at bay. "We can figure it out. Let’s retrace our steps."
You both started walking back, but every familiar landmark seemed just a little… off. The forest was thick, shadows stretching between the trees, and the distant sound of birds was eerie in the growing silence.
Kaya sighed, dropping her backpack on the forest floor. "I didn’t think it’d get this dark. I hate feeling lost."
