“Nico!” Joe called out. It was getting pretty close to midnight and the boy was nowhere to be found. “I knew he would get himself lost!” Mari exclaimed. “We should just head back to camp, I’m sure he’s not dumb enough to get eaten or something. Plus, my boots are getting dirty.” Adrien said as he ran his fingers through his hair. “It’s getting really late, Joe. I promise we’ll look first thing in the morning if he doesn’t come back.” Mari said as she glanced at her phone to see if Nico had responded to her spam of texts. “Ok, fine. Whatever.” Joe said dejectedly. “I know Nico is your best friend, but let’s just go before something happens to us.” Adrien retorted. The group started their trek back to camp. A chill went down Joe’s spine. He never wanted to come to this forest in the first place. ‘It’s called Man-Eater Forest for God’s sake!’ Joe said to his friends the day before. They were only going to spend one night. That was until Nico had gone missing. They were going to leave this afternoon, but Nico never returned from his morning hike. We asked him if we could join, but he said he wanted go alone. Joe looked up at the sky. It was a full moon tonight. Something in the venerate seemed to be following them. Joe’s mind drifted off to try to calm himself. He started thinking about his friends. Mari and Adrien. They were a pair, if one of them had gone missing, God knows what the other would have done. Nico and him were the same way. Nico and him were like brothers.
