It took us less than a minute to burst through the treeline and stumble into the clearing where our group had set up camp for the last two days.
The fog here was much thinner than in the woods behind us.
As soon as Juli and I stepped through, huffing and puffing, every eye in the camp turned toward us in varying degrees of concern.
Michael and Kang were still in the middle of discussing whatever topic they had been discussing before we left.
Meanwhile, Alexia and Lily seemed to have returned from their hunting trip and brought back a tentacled millipede for dinner — thankfully, I didn't think we would have the pleasure to eat it tonight.
Michael looked like he was about to walk over with a frown.
But before he could, Ray and Vince came tumbling out of the woods after us, both shouting over each other.
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Move, you idiots! It's right behind us!"
By then, I had caught my breath.
