Chapter 8

I fell on the ground out of shock. How could I forget that. Travis had seen the guy with me. He may be in these woods with me and we could get out. I could live. I need to find him. His voice echoed through my head as I stood up. Luckily it was day so I could start to find me. But where to start? The thought killed my idea. This forest was so big, I wouldn't even have a chance. But it was worth a try. "TRAVIS!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. I waited silently just hoping that he would hear. No reply. I ran down the river hoping to see a sign that he had been there. After about a mile I stopped. My heart was racing and I was breathing so fast. I looked around. Nothing. I wonder how far away I was from him. I decided to climb a tree but then something stopped me. As I was about to cross the river to get to a good tree I saw something in the mud. I squatted down to see it. I gasped and almost fell over. It was a footprint. It must have been recent because it was still very wet. The foot print was going in the direction I was headed. "TRAVIS!" I screamed again, but no response.
