The forest was silent, but everything was nowadays quiet. It was driving you up a wall, you had started to somewhat talk to yourself. the thick canopy of leaves overhead made it a little difficult for sunlight to filter through. you almost tripped and fell on your ass multiple times due to all the roots and weeds and FUCKING PLANTS sticking out the ground. the mentally had a little fit the umpteenth time you tripped.

You got to a extremely loud rushing river, the noise clouding your thoughts. Fainty you could hear talking and a child laughing, you carefully approach, hopping on rocks to get across the river. through the foliage, you saw a group of teens, and one very small kid, all heading your direction, but having no clue you where there.
