Opal

(in a bashful tone)

Uh,.... yeah?

Esme

(in a slightly annoyed tone)

First of all, it's 4:30! The suns gonna go down soon, we won't get there till it’s dark out-!

Rowan

(interrupting Esme)

(In a know it all tone)

Guys,we will be FINE. It's only 4:30 and it only takes an HOUR to get up there. It gets dark at 6:00!

Esme

OPAL THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!!!!

Rowan

(In a motherly tone)

Guys, this isn’t any one person's fault, instead of blaming each other let's find the trail and head back.

Opal

(still freaking out, repeating this over and over, muttering)

I am going to die, I am going to die die die DIE!

Esme

(Scared tone, she pulled her hoodie strings tight, shivering)
