As they walked through the dark forest Mya found herself getting more and more nervous as the time passed by. They have already been walking in the forest for hours. Mya fidgeting with her hands getting antsy, “is it too late to go back?” Mark looks back at Mya just as nervous, “unfortunately.” Lex smirks, “Mya, you said you wanted to help, are you changing your mind?” Mya looks down a bit embarrassed, “of course not, I still want to help, it's just I’m a little scared of heights.” Lex looks at mya and starts to blush. As mya makes eye contact with Lex, he quickly turns away, “I’ll make sure you don’t fall if that makes you feel any better.” Mya looks at Lex and smiles a little bit as her cheeks begin to turn a cherry red color, “that makes me feel a lot better, thank you, Lex.”
Rouge keeps walking down the long path in front of everyone leading the way. The further they get into the forest and the more he hears Lex and Mya’s conversation the more visibly irritated he becomes, “will you two stop flirting already.” Mya and Lex stop their conversation and turn their attention to Rouge. Mya looks at Rouge flustered, “We’re not he’s just being nice to me and I’m being nice back.” “Why do you think we’re flirting?” Lex asked flustered. Mark quietly chimes in, “well Lex, you’re acting a lot more friendly to her than before.” Rouge rolls his eyes, “you did call her useless and all.” “and,” Lex says, annoyed. Mark nervously fidgets, “well it’s rude.” Mya listening to the conversation realizing they’re making fair points, “that’s true.”

Lex hastily replies, “well I’m making up for it now!” Mya looks at Lex with a confused look on her face, “why?” Lex looked frustrated as he looked around the forest frantically, “well because you’re trying to help us, and you’re a nice person I see that now.” Lex went quiet for a moment and looked to the ground, “I was also stressed when you couldn’t use magic, I’m sorry about that.” Mya smiled at Lex warmly, “it’s ok Lex.” Rouge suddenly stopped making everyone ram into each other. Mark looked up, “why’d we stop?” “we’re here, “ Rouge said in a dark and almost frightening voice. Mya looked around everyone, at the cliff as she felt herself getting more nervous by the second. Lex looks at mya and places his hand on her shoulder, “It’s ok mya I’m here remember.” Mya looked back at Lex and smiled at him feeling a little more at ease. Rouge started to make towards the cliff, “let’s get going.”
