Return to Lovers Lake

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Oh shit hang on," Eddie muttered out and ran back to the spot where he and Adira had been staying, he quickly grabbed his stuff and began to shove it into his pockets

"Get your stuff dude come on," Steve groaned out to Eddie in annoyance before following after the rest of the teens and watching Eddie run back up to Adira and grab her hand again, "I swear she has the wierdest taste in guys," Steve muttered out with a sigh and shook his head in disappointment


-----------------------------

They had been walking through the forest for ages, "c'mon Dustin, surely we are almost there," Adira muttered out in exhaustion. Dustin looked down at the compass which was spinning around really fast. Her legs were aching and she was hungry, she hadn't eaten anything all day and they were just walking around.

The sun had set and the sky was dark, the only light was from the moon, stars and flashlights in the teenagers hands. The cool night air had quickly set in and the teens were trying to stick close together, it wasn't safe to walk through the woods at night, it didn't take a genius to know that.

"Something is happening," Dustin replied quickly and then suddenly began to run, he knew that the compass spinning this fast had meant that they were getting extremely close to the thing that they were looking for.

"Are you shitting me?" Adira huffed and they all broke into a a small jog, following after Dustin who was getting faster and faster. They began to loose him in the woods, none of them seemed to have the same level of energy as Dustin and it showed as they let out groans of annoyance and exhaustion

"Dustin? Can you slow down?" Eddie called out to him, he had had more than enough excerisce for one day, walking was hard enough and now they had to run? Yeah no thank you, "Dustin!?"

Dustin finally stopped running and turned his head to look at them whilst walking, "I think that we are getting close," Dustin said to them with an excited grin. Adira was the first person to notice the water that Dustin was about to fall into, she quickly reached out and grabbed his shoulder, pulling him back gently

"Hey there Dustin, watch your step big guy," Adira said in worry as she pulled him back a little more, not wanting him to fall into the water, "if you fall in there you might get a cold," Adira said to him in a motherly fashion, a look of concern covering her pretty features.

The teens all stared out at the lake in a mixture of confusion, worry and annoyance. "Oh man," Steve muttered out as he glared at the familiar lake, "You have got to be shitting me," Steve groaned, shining his flashlight onto the water

"Of course, of course this is where the stupid compass lead us," Adira huffed out in annoyance

"Yeah..." Eddie added softly, the teens were all clearly extremely unhappy about where the compass had lead them. Adira and Eddie were here the night before, they had run away from here and now they are right back where they started. Like they had gone in a big, wonky circle, "I thought these woods were familiar."

"Lovers Lake," Robin confirmed, her eyes drifting over to Adira slightly, she had occasionally imagined the two of them coming out here one day and having a picknick on the side of the lake, or going in a boat, floating on the water while they talked the day away... she didn't imagine coming here late at night because there is a possibility that there is a gate to another dimension here

"This is... confounding," Dustin muttered out as all of them tried to decided if they thought there was a gate here or not, how long the gate has been here and why the hell there would be a gate here

"No, this is bullshit. Complete and total bullshit," Adira groaned out with a huff, "youre telling me that we have been running around all day just to end up where we had began?"
