“It’s getting dark,” said Kate, looking up at the sky. “It’ll be night soon. Should we try to come back the way we came?”
“I don’t think so,” said Naomi. “We might somehow end up deeper in the forest. I think we’d better just sit here and hope someone comes to look for us.”
The girls slowly moved over to the tree stump and dropped their pinecones and berries. The castle didn’t seem so important anymore.
Suddenly, there was a snap of twigs ahead of them.
“What-what was that?” Kate stammered.
“I don’t know,” Naomi whispered. Now, her heart was beating really fast. Oh, why didn’t I listen to Sophie and my parents? She thought. Now we’re lost in the forest, and something might be coming to eat us for dinner!
“I’m scared,” Kate said, tears beginning to fill her eyes.
“Me too,” said Naomi. “We shouldn’t have disobeyed Sophie. All we can do now is pray.”
“Let’s do that, please,” Kate begged.
As the sun slowly sank lower over the tree line, the girls bowed their heads and prayed for someone to come and find them, also asking forgiveness for not listening to their parents and leader.....
