The Challenge

The Forest

The forest was filled with trees, and I started to notice that Ace was shaking and breathing really hard. The more we headed the more trees with taller heights appeared, with all of this Ace was on the verge of crying. "Guys stop for a moment," I said, I then turned to Ace, "Ace are you dendraphobic(fear of trees)" Ace thought for a moment and then admitted yes, and to my surprise the others didn't tease him or anything, but they just tried to comfort him. I thought of some of some ideas 𝘯𝘰, 𝘯𝘰, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬, 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘵. "Everest come here," I told Everest while he came up to me puzzled. I tore some of Everest's shirt, Everest was about to protest but then stopped, I then put the piece of cloth on Ace's eyes and tied it, I then took his hand and said, "Ace today we will be your eyes just take a deep breath and calm down," we started leading Ace hand to hand.

All of us didn't know what we were looking for maybe a house or shelter who knows. I stopped and took some wood and some leaves, and put them against the tree, it came out as an old timey home. Then I collected some more leaves and put them on the ground as a floor. Then I take Ace inside and open the blindfold," Here you can see now, keep the blindfold near you just in case," I said, "Thank you, so much you guys but why are you helping me I've been so-so, "Ace said, "Annoying, rude, obnoxious, mean, ya ya, but the point is that phobias are not to be messed with," I said.

I stopped reading the file that was all of it. I put the file down, what was that noise? It was so eerie. And it sounded like a whistle. It was a storm signal; it was getting cloudy making it really dark. Too dark for comfort. It was too dark I couldn't see myself anymore, I shivered it was just too dark. I tried turning on my phone, it had no juice 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨. I curled up into a ball, a gust of air went by it chilled me to bone. There was someone or something there I tried calling out, but no words came out. My heart beat faster and faster. I nearly couldn't breathe no never mind scratch that I I couldn't breath at all. I was gasping for air now.
