The Woods Of Night: Book One Of The Kasai Series 13 Chapter 13

Alina and Lyle waved goodbye to the townspeople as the set off on the next leg of their journey. The weather was warm and the air was still. The sound of birds chirping was the only thing they heard. Alina and Lyle walked a dirt road for miles resting only when they can. It started to grow dark and Lyle looked for a place to set up camp. He found a nice place in the middle of a field on their left. Alina thought again, hard, and summoned two tents for her and Lyle. They both retreated inside and laid to rest. Alina couldn't find peace. She tossed and turned but couldn't become comfortable. She laid awake for hours thinking one thing, what were they going to find in The Woods of Night. The question burned in her head for what seemed like hours. She was finally able to find peace as the question seemed to give answers. Alina closed her eyes and fell into sleep.

The next morning was peaceful and Alina woke up to the bright sun s.h.i.+ning through the fabric of the tent. Alina crawled out of the tent and stood up. She raised her arms to the sky and stretched. She yawned as well. The field around was blooming with flowers that she didn't notice last night. The petals were blue with hints of purple. Alina looked around and stopped at Lyle's tent. She couldn't see Lyle's shadow on the ground. A look of worry formed on her face. She looked around and started to shout his name. Alina started to hyperventilate from worry. She sat on the ground and started to breath slowly. She began to calm down but was still worried. Rustling in the field made her turn her head. She watched as the gra.s.s moved apart as Lyle walked back to the camp. He was still about 25 feet away when Alina quickly stood up and ran to him. She ran so fast that when she tried to stop she tripped and fell right on him. They both fell to the ground in roaring laughter. Alina stopped laughing and punched Lyle in the shoulder. "Where were you! You scared me to death!"

"I was just roaming the field looking around." Lyle replied.

Alina stood back up and sighed. She held out her hand and Lyle took it. She pulled him off the ground and started to walk back to camp. The rest of the morning was just of packing up and eating breakfast.
