Tess sighed and ran her hands through her long red hair as she continued to hike, glancing down at the map in her other hand, trying to find anything familiar on it. She had gone up into the woods for a hiking trip with the school but had somehow ended up seperated from the group. That was an hour ago, and she had been stuck wandering aimlessly since then. "Oh man.....I'm really no good with maps...."
The girl grumbled and adjusted her backpack, before starting to walk again. "Maybe if I can find this river or something then I can follow it....but I don't hear any water or anything...." Tess scoffed, then started walking a little faster, holding the map with both hands now, studying it intently, trying to force her eyes to see something she had missed before. "Come on come on.....there's got to be something somewhere....."
Unfortunately, Tess was studying the map so intensely that the 15 year old girl had little to no sense of what was around her, or where she was really headed, totally unaware that she was actually heading deeper and deeper into the forest rather than out of it....
