Annabella sighed stepping closer to Damon until their arms were touching before she relaxed a bit. She looked at Jess as he spoke nodding in agreement with him. "Yeah splitting up probably is not the best idea." She said looking to the path with the most light. She contemplated on it for a second thinking on Jess's question before she was ready to speak. "I think you're right we should at least see what is on that path before we take the other past." She said still messing with her hair.

Jess nodded, staring down the path for a few more minutes before nodding again. "Right," he said, unwilling to take the first step. "I suppose we'd... yeah, right. Lets go," he said, swallowing and walking down the path that had the faint bit of light. "God, it really does stink doesn't it," he muttered, noting the level of mist that was swirling around the path. "I wonder what the light is," he added, peering behind him momentarily as he spoke to the rest

"Let's just hope that the light is from a clearing and nothing that we will have to deal with at all." Damon said putting Annabella behind him so that if a fight came no harm would become of her. He then made sure he was close enough to Jess to keep him safe as well and to help him should there be a need. Damon then looked back at Brian to make sure that he could keep him covered as well and hoping he could do the same.

Annabella silently thanked Damon for placing her behind him but she knew she could defend herself if it came to it. She peered around him to see Jess move some. Placing her hand in Damon's back, she slowly walking behind him watching her step even though she knew he would catch her if she fell again. "So how far in are we going to go to the light Jess?" She asked wondering.

"I'm sure it's nothing," Jess replied to Damon, squinting through the haze and grunting a little. "But we should be on our guard just in case, you never know what could be out there," he muttered, straining to hear the sounds around them.

"I don't know, i figure we go till we reach it, find out what it is then turn back, or keep going, depending on what we find," he replied, feeling uncertain about the course of action

Brian said nothing. He was busy listening and watching. There were always sounds in the woods, and always shadows, even in the dimmest light. He was used to some of the normal sounds, and he expected them. It was that 'thing that didn't belong" sort of feeling that he was trying to be aware of. And right now, a light in the Forbidden Forest generally wasn't a wise thing. It felt a bit oxymoronic. Light was normally a welcome thing, a comforting thing. Here, though, seeing light ahead on a trail was anything except reassuring.

Annabella nodded keeping her hand on Damon's back. She continued too walk behind him keeping a careful eye on the forest floor as to not trip. She figured Jess would say something when he seen whatever is out in front of them in the light. She really couldn't see over Damon but she was kinda glad that she couldn't in the end in case some spiders were up the path some.

As you progress along the path it becomes apparent that the light is not located anywhere on the same path as you. Also, the ground underfoot is slowly becoming softer and muddier, explaining the smell from earlier.

by **Jess Potter** Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:34 pm

Jess frowned as his foot sank almost completely below the surface of the ground beneath them, peering into the forest and shaking his head. "I think we should stop, we don't know what the light is, and I don't trust it. If I didn't know better I would guess it was a hinkypunk... makes sense, given all this boggy ground," he told them with a sigh. "We can't really afford a break like this though, so let's double back and try and make good headway into the forest?" He suggested, gesturing for the rest to follow him as he turned around.

by Damon Fields Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:41 pm

Damon moved out of the way and Jess go back in front as he watched everything around them carefully. He was greatful he was wearing boots and not tennis shoes when he came here, "Can you get your foot unstuck from the ground Jess?" Damon asked as he looked back towards where the light was and was glad that they were turning around.
