Jordan looked at me and said with a serious expression, "Theo and Elena have been gone for too long and may be in danger."
"What danger can there be?" Shannon frowned. "There's a forest nearby that isn't that big. The villagers often go in and out of the forest, so how could there be beasts there?"
"We're not worried about them encountering beasts. We're just worried that yesterday's rain will lead to a landslide, so it might be dangerous to enter the forest now," Holly bent in and said.
Yeah, if rocks fall from the mountain at
the back, then they could encounter danger," Nina echoed.
After hearing what they said, I was shocked and quickly put on my coat. I walked out of the tent. "We'd better go and find them, then."
Shannon followed me out of the tent as well and said with a face full of reluctance," The two are good at causing trouble."
The group then began searching in the direction where Theo and Elena had left. Holly's worries were valid. There were lots of rocks and pieces of soil in the mountains. All of them had fallen from the mountain at the back.
The moonlight was bright tonight, and the path was clear even without a torchlight. Hence, it made the search relatively easier.
However, after walking a considerable distance inward, we still did not see Theo and Elena.
Shannon frowned. "Don't tell me they've returned to the village.”
"Quite unlikely," Nina said, "We should've been able to see them if they did."
We thought it made sense and continued farther down to look for them.
After searching for a long time and still not seeing Elena and Theo, I suggested," Should we split up and look for them?"
