The Hidden Door-A Role Play (AKA The Most Dangerous Coffee Shop II)

"Ok, well what ever I saw seems to be gone, at least for now." She said still trying to see through the darkness. She was more anxious here now that it was dark. It felt like she was being watched, even if she wasn't she didn't like the feeling.

"Do you want to keep going, and see if we can find a safe place to wait out the night, or do you want to try to find everybody else? It might be safer if we weren't on our own. Even with that girl there." She didn't want to be responsible for this guy dying.
Bane considered her words carefully. At last he ventured, “That noise came from the direction that the others went in, I don’t think it’s a good idea to go looking for them, maybe in the morning when we can actually see where we’re going, but not right now.” As much as he would’ve preferred not to, he had to admit that she had a point. They would most likely have a greater chance of survival if they were with everyone else, however, it had also occurred to him that the more people traveling together, the louder they would be, making them much more easily noticed by whatever was lurking in these woods. There was also the fact that he didn’t want to be bossed around by anyone, having had to suffer through many agonizing group projects in his years of school, he was painfully aware that there always seemed to be that one person in every group who tried to control everything that everyone else did.

Bane squinted through the darkness, his eyes resting on the silhouette of a large, sturdy oak tree. “Now, about that safe place, feeling up for a climb?”

"This one?" A high-pitched voice came from above. It was Kyle and Rylie, Kyle's legs dangling from a slender branch, and Rylie balanced with poise on a slightly thicker one. "It might be a good idea to climb higher, to see where we are."
Kyle scrambled up the trunk with ease, tiny fingers finding handholds quickly and efficiently. Who would've thought all those stairs did me some good.
Unfortunately, even with Kyle's superior skills, it was still a big tree, and it would take a long time. Rylie joined him, leaping from branch to branch, and Kyle lept to his back without hesitation. Thus began their mighty ascent.

Juliana followed his upward gaze. She'd never actually climbed a tree before, but heights didnt bother her at all.
"I'll can give it a go. That first branch is pretty high though."

Juliana jumped at the little mans voice, she'd thought they were alone, with only the wildlife to keep them company.

"What were you following us?" She asked accusingly.

As the shrill voice abruptly piped up out of nowhere, Bane had a sudden impulse to run and hide behind Juliana, but he was spared the embarrassment as her accusatory tone brought him back to his senses and made him think of his own questions. “Hold up,” he began, “I thought you and your cat went with everyone else?”

(Wait, they're not with everyone else? Oops.)
"We did," Kyle said. "But I spotted you two sneaking off. We really must stay together. Most of the creatures ran off during that wolf attack, but Rylie and I still have misgivings about what's in there."
He could still see those glaring yellow eyes once in a while.
 
Aella watched the group from the safety of a tree, once again. Hidden. She liked the trees, the way they whispered with hesitation when she approached, before realizing she wouldn't hurt them. Or maybe it was the voices. She would never know.
She watched the group like a predator watching its prey, a pale shadow amidst the leaves. She watched as they weaved amongst each other, talking in hushed whispers, and healing one another. Watching them, she saw who knew who. Who disliked who and which people favored one another. They worked almost like a chess game.
The pawns, weak by themselves, but strong in their numbers. The knights and bishops, powerful but few. The queens, which their seemed to be a few, incredibly powerful but seemingly not important, for the game could continue without her. And the king, the most important but quite weak. But so important, for if the king is gone, then the game ceases to play. That man and his cat...
Aella gave a frown, watching everyone still. Everyone seemed to know somebody, one way or another. She was, once again, the outcast. The freak. When aren't I?
Her eyes flickered closed, listening for the voices. They came like hallucinations, whispering and fluttering, wrapping her in a sweet embrace. Not coherent persay, but promising she wasn't crazy, that they just didn't understand.
She lids snapped open, her fingers curling protectively around a small flame sprouting in her palm, crackling with hunger. "I know," she whispered, and as if it were living, the flame crackled at her voice. She curled her other hand over the flame carefully, shading it from the breeze. Across the path, something stared at her from the trees, yellow eyes like shards of topaz against the shadows. Her head dipped slowly, watching it.
It blinked.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
And it was gone without a sound, swallowed by the infinite darkness.

(Nope XD)
“Oh,” was the only lame response he could come up with at that moment. He was too busy imagining himself being eaten for dinner by a pack of wolves. Finally, he said, “So, umm, the others, they didn’t come with you right?” Bane struggled to squash the hopefulness which kept attempting to creep into his voice.
