As we were walking away from the cabin, as the smell of pine trees fill up my nose, we took off into the woods. Every now and then we would stop, and just admire the view of the side of the mountain. We went up the there were alot of dark shadow areas that scared me because we couldn’t see anything in the shadow. I didn’t know if there was going to be an animal or a person in there but, it was just in my head. There was nothing in there… I think.

As we were walking through the forest, we saw a clearing in the just up ahead. We thought that if would be a good idea to try and build a wooden tent that we could sleep in. It was about 5 o’clock so i knew we would have to hurry before it got dark. I ran and found as many wood sticks as possible and my friends did the same. I grabbed almost every stick i got my eyes on. Some were bent and arched but i didn’t care i just grabbed everything that i saw. We finally got everything that we needed and started building.

I leaned the sticks up against each other and they just kept falling over and we started to get frustrated. We then split the pieces of wood and decided that we would all build separate tents and see who’s would be the best.

We finished up and then we realized that all of the tents sucked. No one wanted to admit that they were all bad so we ended up instead of sleeping in the cabin sleeping in all of the separate tents. I knew that it wouldn’t be a good idea, but i wouldn’t  admit that I couldn’t stay the entire night. Later that night it was like 12 o’clock and we were ready to go to bed. I was a little scared because who knows what was going to be in the woods surrounding us. I couldn’t fall asleep and my phone was about to die.

Suddenly i start to hear cracking coming from behind me. I thought i was going to die to whatever animal was trying to sneaking up behind me. Than I heard a huge crash and a yell. My friends tent from behind me fell in his sleep and woke him up. We then realized that we wouldn’t be able to spend the night up there.

We slowly started going down the trails only being able to see as far as my phone flashlight could see. We were about halfway down the hill when my phone died and we couldn’t even see our hands. I knew for sure that we wouldn’t be making it down the rest of the path.

Eventually after what felt like an hour we saw the porch light to our cabin. We ran up to the door and opened the screen door. I went to go open the normal door but it wouldn't budge. I realized that it was locked. Me and my friends were locked outside of our cabin and we couldn’t wake up his parents because there room was in the middle of the house, and they couldn’t hear us banging on the door in the middle of their deep sleep. There was no way  for us to get into the house so we made ourselves comfortable on the porch and relaxed till morning.
