Road

Leo looked at the peaceful sleeping face of Mira from the top of the tree. After staring for a few minutes, he snapped back to reality. He couldn't afford to lose track of time given his current situation. As he gazed at her, he heard a faint breaking noise. 

Below him, the branch he was standing on was starting to give away. A few cracks were starting to form where the thin branch met its parent's trunk. He sighed and jumped, completely breaking the branch with his force. The sound of the branch breaking was enough for Mira to wake up.

She opened her eyes instantly and shot up, alert and looking for any threats around her. As her fearful eyes scanned the environment around her, Leo landed on the ground with a small thud. The thud scared her even more. The entire forest was shrouded in darkness owing to the sun setting a few hours ago.
