Emily: giggles, twirling in the breeze Look at the sunset! Isn't it... isn't it just bootyful!?
Violet
grins Easy. steps forward, offering his hand Here goes nothing.
quickly grabs ThistleJoy's hand, her voice filled with excitement There you go, mystery man! Let's see what you're made of!
Violet
feeling the texture of the dark figure's hand, his voice filled with curiosity This...is kind of weird. But also kind of cool. Who are you?
Suddenly, the dark figure vanishes as if it never existed in the first place.
Violet
What the...
looks around, her voice filled with confusion Well, damn! Where the hell did he go? One minute he was here, and now he's gone!
Violet
I guess we got our answer.
crosses her arms, her voice filled with frustration Yeah, but what a lame answer that was! Just disappeared like poof!
Violet
chuckles Well, that's the way of the magic world, Em. Sometimes the answers aren't as straightforward as we'd like them to be.
rolls her eyes playfully Oh, come on, ThistleJoy! Can't you come up with a more exciting explanation? Like maybe he was a ghost or a vampire or something?
Violet
You really want to go down that road? Come on, Em, use your brain.
throws her hands up in the air, her voice filled with mock exasperation Fine, fine! Mr. Serious over here doesn't believe in my wild and wacky theories.
Violet
laughs Did you expect me to believe that the guy was a vampire?
pouts dramatically Well, no, but a boy can dream, can't he? Besides, vampires are real in my books!
Violet
smirks Alright, alright. Let's just chalk it up to the mystery of the night and move on.
playfully nudges ThistleJoy Fine, Mr. Serious. But mark my words, one day we'll stumble upon a real-life vampire and then you'll be eating your words!
Violet
I'll keep that in mind, Em. Now, let's get out of here before anything else decides to drop by.
grabs ThistleJoy's arm, her voice filled with urgency Good idea, ThistleJoy! No need to stick around for any more surprises.
Violet
laughs Alright, Em. Lead the way.
starts walking quickly, glancing around nervously Phew! Time to get outta here before anything else pops outta the woodwork!
Violet
follows Emily, chuckling Don't worry, Em. I'm sure nothing else is going to jump out at us. Let's just focus on getting back to camp.
whispers, her voice filled with a mix of excitement and relief Yeah, let's get the hell outta here! Don't want any more encounters with creepy figures in the dark.
Violet
laughs softly Agreed, Em. Let's book it.
waves her hands dramatically Thank goodness, we're finally out of there! That was freaky as hell!
Violet
chuckles Yeah, that was quite the experience, wasn't it? But hey, we made it through. That's what counts. Now, let's head back to camp and try to put this night behind us.
shivers, wrapping her arms around herself Ugh, I'm still shaking from that encounter! Let's hurry up and get back to camp before anything else decides to jump out at us!
Violet
laughs Alright, Em. Let's pick up the pace and put this night behind us.
starts walking briskly, muttering under her breath I seriously need to stop watching so many horror movies! Every time I'm in the dark, I think that someone's gonna jump out at me!
Violet
laughs Horrors movies have that effect on people, Em. Come on, let's pick up the pace. We'll be back at camp in no time.
jumps into a ditch to avoid being seen by a group of people Shit! I thought we were in the clear! Looks like we've got company!
Violet
What the hell? Do you think they saw us?
whispering urgently I don't know, ThistleJoy! Act natural! Maybe they didn't see us...
