Chapter 75: Tension

Alicia's Point of View

After Zak and I had left the circle, he had driven us deeper into the forest, and my second psychic drawing - or whatever you want to call them – had come true.

As we were driving, I had suddenly spotted a fairly bright, red/orange orb - or ball of light - in the trees. Zak had stopped the ATV and it had taken me a few minutes to be able to get him to see the orb, as it had been flickering amongst the trees.

Once he had spotted it, it then took us several more minutes to be able to actually catch it on camera.

The entire ordeal had been a nightmare.

~*~*~*~*~

I kept my eyes, and the camera, aimed on the path in front of us, as Zak drove deeper and deeper into the forest. The trees were becoming thicker the further we went.

Suddenly, I noticed an orange light in amongst the trees in the distance.

"Woah, woah, woah! Stop!" I said, grabbing onto the top of the windshield and started to stand up to get a better view.

Zak brought the ATV to a quick stop, probably more worried about me standing up than about stopping to see what I was reacting to.

"Are you trying to get your head knocked off?" Zak mumbled.

I rolled my eyes and didn't bother responding to his remark.

"Shut it off, shut it off," I replied, aiming my flashlight into the trees, trying to find the source of the orange light.

Crap, where did it go?

Zak turned the ATV off and shined his flashlight in the same area I was.

"What?" He questioned, sounding slightly annoyed.

"There was a light in the trees...there it is!" I exclaimed, spotting the orange light again.

Zak shined his flashlight around a bit.

"Where?" He asked.

I hopped down out of the ATV and quickly took a few steps toward the trees, using only the viewfinder of my camera to watch where I was going.

"Turn your light on!" Zak groaned, as he grabbed his camera from the back of the ATV.

Oh sure....it's fine for you not to be safety conscious, but if I do anything- holy shit, what is that?! I thought.

The light had gotten brighter.

"Come here, quick!" I said.

"What? What?" Zak asked, as he walked up to me, still sounding annoyed.

I was tempted to smack him.

"Orange, orange! Can't you see it?" I replied.

"Where?" Zak asked, aiming his camera in the same direction I was facing.

Oh-my-god.

I forced myself to stand closer to him and stood on my tiptoes to be as close to his eye level as possible. Sure enough, I couldn't see the light anymore.

"Come here," I said, while stepping back where I had been, pulling him with me.

Zak seemed momentarily stunned at his sudden, close proximity to me, but then his shock focused on the ball of light.
