Andi was following Darius' instructions, though a little hesitantly, as she knew that Darius was a little bit clumsy, and they were somewhere near the gorge...too bad things if you wanted to stay clean...
Holly just nodded. "Sure I'll do that, see you back at camp then."
---
Liz Lily and Emily were moving in the other direction picking up a few smaller logs that were dry. Emily was talking non-stop already. "I love camping, this is going to be so fun, sleeping under the stars, making a fire, hey do we have any marshmellows? It just isn't camping without smores right?"

"Ok Andi," he replied as he walked to the middle as well releasing his telekiniss. "On my mark we are going to turn this around and walk back to camp. 1...2...3!"
Darius and Andi quickly began moving their feet around so that the log was positioned vertically if you were facing the gorge. They were moving so fast...they didn't notice that the log bumped into Holly's back.
"Okay lets go Andi."

Holly let out a little "Oooh!" Before tripping and falling...but not kitting any ground...yet. No instead, she fell for a couple moments and then...SPLAT. Mud. Lots of Mud.
Figures. If she had helped Darius with that log she wouldn't be stuck in this situation. So she stood up, moving slowly through the mud to the edge, where she started trying to climb up, but not being able to see much, and the gorge also being steep as it was...it wasn't looking good for her.
--
Liz, Lily and Emily were back at camp now, it plently of firewood to keep a fire going, but none of them were having any luck with actually getting the fire started. Emily however, was exstatic, as she had found some marshmellows!

Darius and Andi didn't hear the ooh or the splat, in fact they were already through some of the forest. They kept going until they reached the clearing.
"Hello!" Darius greeted them with a smile, "We got more wood for you guys!"

Lily smiled. "Great! Now you can help us with starting the fire...none of us seem to have the ability to do so...." She said to him, blushing a little but backing away from the firewood to give Darius or Andi a chance at it.
"Don't look at me." Andi said. "I can't start a fire to save my life...you always did that...Ria has really changed you Lil." She said, taking a seat next to Lily, and Liz sat next to Andi...while Emily stacked the wood neatly for she needed something to do with all the energy she had.
---
Meanwhile, back at the gorge, Holly was still having some trouble getting out of the gorge. "Hello? Andi? DARIUS!....Anybody?....You guys are so dead once I get out of here! That water in the river is COLD!!"

"Well," Darius began, "When I was living out in the wild I did make fires occasionally it's a rather simple trick...It just takes a lot of effort."
Darius got two small sticks of wood from the fire and began to rub them back and forth, trying to create enough friction to induce a small spark. He kept doing this over and over when nothing happened.

Lily and Emily watched him rub the two sticks together, just waiting and waiting...until Lily looked to her right, wondering where Liz had gone.
"Uhh guys...where'd Liz go?"
"I'm right here. I've got an idea..." She said, picking up a rock and pulling out her knife, and striking it against the rock, creating a few sparks as she did so.

Darius blinked as the sparks flew down, he felt slightly jealous that Liz could do it but not him but it wasn't really much anyways. He started to blow on the sparks trying to get the embers to spread around and start a fire.
It didn't take long for them to catch and soon they had a large fire going fueled by the logs the girls had gathered.

Risshun looked at him and smiled. "Yes a cake sounds like a great idea" she said nodding. She sat next to him and picked up the small phone on the end table and dialed room service. She waited for a moment and then a voice came on to the other end. "Room service, how may I help you?" the woman on the other end said kindly. She looked at Amon. "What kind of cake do you want?" she asked quickly and went back to the phone. "Room 21B. We would like a cake..." she said quietly into the phone. "What kind?" Risshun was quiet and looked at Amon, shrugging slightly.

The girls all gathered close to the fire, Emily and Liz on one side of Darius, Lily and Andi on the other side...none of them seeming to realize that someone was missing.
"This is nice." Lily said, looking up at the stars through the trees, a small smile on her face as her cheeks turned a rosy color from the warmth of the fire.
"Yeah..." Said Emily, whom had fallen from her high, seeming mesmerized by the fire...the bag of mashmellows set dejectedly on a rock nearby.
"Hey Darius...Do you know any good scary stories?" Liz asked, a smirk on her face. She loved scary stories...
----
She was still trying to get out of the gourge, cursing silently as she attempted to climb up again, the wall of the gorge crumbling beneathe her feet, but somehow she managed to get to the top, mud covered, tired, and ready to hug a couple of her close friends....

Amon's brow rose a little, his solemn face turning a little brighter. Here, give me the phone. Amon took the phone from Risshun's hand and cleared his throat as he put the device to his ear. Lady, I sure hope you deal with kids alot, because you're going to have a hard time getting all this if you don't. I want, He took a deep breath, A triple chocolate cake with strawberry icing in between all the layers and buttercream frosting on top with strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry peices and sprinkled with some licorice peices and chocolate shavings and caramel with chocolate drizzled on the top and two scoops of ice cream on the very tippity top garnished with a cherry. Did you get all that?
You don't want to add anything else? Let me get this straight. You want a triple chocolate cake with strawberry icing in between all the layers and buttercream frosting on top with strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry peices and sprinkled with some licorice peices and chocolate shavings and caramel with chocolate drizzled on the top and two scoops of ice cream on the very tippity top garnished with a cherry? Amon grinned. You're good....yeah, that's about it. And maybe a couple of extra bowls and spoons. Sure thing, hun. It'll be there before you can say 'Oh gee, it came really fast'.
Amon thanked the lady and put the phone down. He opened his mouth and started to say 'Oh gee, it came really fast.' Oh gee, it came really- Room service! We have a...triple chocolate cake with strawberry icing in between all the layers and buttercream frosting on top with strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry peices and sprinkled with some licorice peices and chocolate shavings and caramel with chocolate drizzled on the top and two scoops of ice cream on the very tippity top garnished with a cherry! Amon got up and answered the door all the while taking bits and peices of the icing while the bellboy recited the order. After tipping the teenager, Amon brought in the cake and set it on the table. After examining every inch of it, he stopped and turned to Risshun Want some now?

Darius grinned slightly, "Can't say I do Liz. However I'm pretty sure that you do."
He was enjoying thier company but deep inside he was begining to wonder where Holly was. It's not like it was hard to just, get a log and head back to the camp. There really wasn't any obsticles in her way so she shouldn't have any trouble.
He soon forgot the worry though as he picked a handful of marshmellows from the bag and began to pop then into his mouth, chewing slowly, savouring the gooey warmth of each marshmellow.

Liz smirked. "Alright alright, I will do the honors." She said, a smile on her face, though she tried to hide it, making it look like she didn't enjoy being the center of attention now.
"Years ago, on a night....much like this one....a group of friends went into a haunted forest...looking for some adventure and excitment....little did they know what lurked in the darkness of the forest...." She began, her lips and eyes glowing in the firelight, but shadows danced all around her cheeks, giving her a haunted look. Of course, Liz was a wonderful story-teller, and she knew how to draw her audience in.
Meanwhile, Holly was starting back to camp now, stumbling through the dark on her own, as her eye were on the small glow of fire ahead of her, rolling her eyes as she thought about all of them sitting around the fire while she had to go swim in the river again....

Darius and the girls watched intently as she began her story. He definately thought that she was getting started for something good. Uncconsiously he ate another marshmellow as the fire continued to crackle.

Lily smiled as she watched her other half continue with her story.
"So they went off into the woods, setting up camp, and getting a fire started..."
Lily reached for a marshmellow out of the bag that Darius was holding...finding his hand, and blushing a little as she pulled a marshmellow out, and looked at her shoes, wondering if Darius was looking at her now...or still listening to Liz.
"But after everything was set up...they realized that one of the girls was missing..." That's when they heard a terrible scream.
It was actually Holly, letting out a scream as she fell into the river, finding that it was indeed colder now that it was night...
