At those last few words, Lily's cheeks lit up in a hot blush. She was unable to find words to say so she just walked onward in an akward silence.

“Sorry,” she said after abit of walking, the silence growing unberable for her. “I didn't mean to embarrass you, I was just wondering why someone would cover up a nice piece of artwork and only wanted to get a better look.”

"It's covered up because the skirt is too long to show it off. Though if these skirts were any shorter I doubt they'd even be considered skirts anymore," Lily explained.

Lilly giggled. “Tell me about it. I thought Covin had small uniforms but compared too you I'm overdressed.” She laughed a little. “I think I need a little brake from all this walking though.”

(I thought her name was Julie?)
"Let's find somewhere to sit and rest," Lily suggested. She looked around, hoping to find a log or large rock or somewhere where the could sit.

(it is Corvin was the school she transferred from, she was refering to the fact that the uniforms there were a bit small)

There was a rock, that the two moved towards, there was that same silence but they had gotten use to it by this point so it didn't feel as creepy.

“So, Lily, what do you like to do, I know you have a keen interest in music.” She flicked a gaze at the headphones for emphasis since they stuck out.

(I know. You put her name as "Lilly")
"Well back home I'm called a music prodigy, and I want to prove everyone right. I'm hoping to start my music career here. But other than that I like to eat, sleep, learn, and just explore the island, like we're doing now. Speaking of which, I think we may have gotten lost," Lily said as she looked around. "Normally I can literally hear music from a mile away, and with the forest as quiet as it is, I should be able to hear all the music around the campus. But all I hear is silence." She turned her own music off to emphasize her point.

(my error ther then, hadn't even noticed though usually I catch these things and realized I typed something when meaning another.)

“Music, well at least you know what you want to do, I'm still figuring all that out. Apparently I was sent to college to work that all out.”

Julie looked towards the way they came. It didn't seem as if it were too hard to get back though nothing did look familiar to her. Her heart beat a little faster though she forced herself to remain relaxed.

“We'll be fine, no wild animals to worry about and we can keep moving along until you hear something that gets you back on track. I'm afraid I'm not much help either. I don't know this island and it looks as if it's going to get dark in an hour or too as well.” She sighed, partially turning as she studied the forest behind her.

"That's not even the worst part," Lily warned. "Ever since I got here, I've been hearing rumors about all kinds of monsters that attack students when they're alone and vulnerable. They apparently rape the girls senseless and then sometimes steal them away to be slaves. I don't believe it though. Sounds a little far fetched, don't you agree?"

Julie colored a little, xhocked at what she was hearing. It wasn't in the realm of belivability, monsters? How far fetched but then the creepy silence began to feel so intense again.

Juli shuddered, clutching her arms then shaking her head. She stood. “Yeah sounds real far fetched though given how creepy the silence is as if it hints at something. Yeah, it can't be real. There's no real documentation. Even that show on Nat Geo or was it the history channel, Monster Quest never really turns up anything except believable stuff like giant squids. If monsters were real we'd have some proof by now.”

"What I hear from the stories, though, aren't the usual monsters like Big Foot and Nessie. I'm talking freaky shit. Demons, tentacles that come out of nowhere... I once heard that a couple years back some girls got raped by a monster that just came out of the water. If I didn't know any better I'd say we were in the Bermuda Triangle," Lily said.

“Yeah, all that sounds like BS and the upper classmen trying to freak out new arrivals. If it were somewhat believable maybe. Just maybe I'd buy into it though we still have the problem of getting back.

“We don't have much light left so perhaps we'll try to find the campus for an hour if we still can't find it we can make a shelter or find a cave or something to pass the night in as stumbling around in the dark is too dangerous and we won't ave a chance of finding the campus until daylight. Maybe they ight notice we're gone and send a search team.”

"It's a big school. I doubt anyone even knows we're out here. Nevertheless, we should make a camp here and retrace our steps tomorrow. Do you have matches or a lighter on you? We need to start make a fire," Lily said.

No matches but they were in luck Julie had a lighter though she didn't smoke now, the lighter given to her as a gift some time ago that she still kept with her. “Yeah, I got one. Sucks about the school being so big I was hoping to get back tonight. It doesn't get too cold here right? Corvin use to be freezing at the best of times.”

"Tropical islands tend to be warm. I don't usually notice because my dorm is air-conditioned. I'm more worried about it raining," Lily said as she went around the clearing collecting sticks and dry moss. "Hey, make a ring of stones and dirt so we don't accidentally start a forest fire."
