9 Going home

Heavy hearted I leave the scene trying to find my way back home. I walked for what feels like hours while occasionally saying or two things to the 'Lori' in my head

I notice that the nature her voice is indiscernible, it sounds mostly like a whisper not even like any normal person's voice would be.

I look at my watch it's 10:49 and i still don't know my way back home. I can only hope that some miracle would happen coz I'm starting to get sick of this damn forest as everything reminds me of the events that happened here.

... ...

I hear some noise from the bushes, I turn to the direction of where the noise is coming from

I try hard to listen as now my sense of hearing is more keen and I know the noise I hear is farther than it actually sounds ..... I hear my name

and the voice sounded like my Uncle Joe

Without even a second thought I start running towards that direction while calling out his name

"UNCLE JOE!"

"LORI, TONY, JEFF"

I hear him call out, his voice sounding clearer as I get closer

I can see him with two others.

I feel so relieved that tears start to fall from my eyes ....my miracle had come

"UNCLE JOE"

I shout louder so he can hear me

He turns to where he hears his name, he sees me running towards him

he immediately runs forward and embraces me the moment I'm within his reach

"Uncle, t-t-tony.... J-jeff" I said choking back my tears

"shhh....it's ok uncle's here don't cry"

But those words are simply not enough to calm me down and even he knew it

so he carry's me up and put my head on his shoulder while patting it, still coaxing me not to be scared anymore

As he walks through the bushes I start to fall asleep but I tried my best to stay awake

I can hear him telling his partners to call the others who came searching that I was found but they hadn't seen tony and Jeff yet

my eyes become blurry but all in all I'm still relieved to finally be leaving this place.

soon my eyes close and I'm fast asleep, God knows that I have cried enough for one day.
