Lurking Danger
"Hey Jules, how about we take a shortcut through the forest?"
One of the friends of Chad who got separated from them asked his friend beside him in between breaths.
The man called Jules looked at his friend who is running beside him with a slight frown and replied in between breaths, "Are you high, William?! Tell me if you are, because you just brought up an idea that could get both of us killed!"
The guy called William came to an immediate halt when he heard that and said, "Killed? It's just taking a shortcut man!"
Jules also stopped soon after, and that one student who had running behind them since earlier soon caught up to them and ran past the two, "Hey, I might not be the brightest student in our department, but I sure hell know that the forest behind us is a no man's land, because that place is certainly brimming with monsters!"
William laughed and said, "Monsters? Have you read too much fantasy books?"
