Blaise briefly wondered if he would ever be able to return home through those two gate-like trees.

However, not too much longer later he was even more lost. He had mud on his shoes. Dirt on his shorts, and scuffs on his knees. He frankly wished he had been more careful. He thought if he ever got out of there, he would high tail it and stay away from trees for a good while. He knew he should have gotten that map this morning and regretted being so stubborn. He thought he wasn't a know-it-all. However, at times, he acts like one.

.....

After roaming around for about 20 minutes, he began to feel hungry. Blaise began to then rummage around his bookbag, (glad he heeded his mom for once) after some mild looking. He fished out an energy bar and a monster drink. He ate his food and looked for a place to camp. He found a flat spot. Fished out his blanket, laid down, and started to dream.

.....

Startled awake, he heard a sound. Blaise looked around and scanned his surroundings. The man then said, "Hello? Who's there?". 

A cat popped out. As he sighed in relief he picked up the small creature, and thought, "Damn, that was stupid. Who the fuck says, "Who's there?" ' 

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

The cat had light yellow eyes and purple... fur?  

"Aren't you a strange one", Blaise remarked in awe.

 "Just like me, like my eyes" he noted. He invited the cat into his blanket and fell into a soft sleep. 

...

Blaise! Blaise! 

Startled, Blaise awoke. On the defensive side. Blaise looked at his friend, his face filled with worry.

"You fainted", his friend said. "I was so worried, you dropped out of nowhere." "Are you feeling better?" his friend asked.

Shook, Blaise looked around, it was the campus grounds, he was walking with Damien. Blaise looked at his clothes, clean. As if he never left. He looked at his knees, no scuffs. He looked at his shirt, no tatters. He was back! Blaise wondered if that was a bizarre dream. 

"Do you need help getting up?" Damion asked. 

No, I can manage", Blaise said.

" Are you sure?" Damion asked.

"Yes, I'm sure" Blaise reassured.

 "...You wanna talk about it when we get home?", Blaise asked

"Yea that's fine" Daimon replied with a smile.

And with that, they headed home.
