Guilt

We stepped in.

I cautiously looked around for any bats that Noah warned me about.

I bit my lip.

I was anxious.

After cautiously walking for a few minutes, I heard something flapping over my head.

I flinched.

"Be careful their very dangerous than the wolves." Emily explained.

I gulped.

I hoped I made it out alive.

I then saw a bat. It had green fur and red eyes and it stared at me.

Emily noticed it and said,"Don't move if you do, it'll get attracted and more afraid than it already is."

I followed her advice.

After a few moments, the bat flew away. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright?" Noah asked me suddenly.

I suddenly felt irritated.

"Because I could've-"

"Can you not be so overprotective over me?" I snapped.

"Because I can take care of myself without your help."

His eyes averted to the ground.

I felt guilty.

Why did I say that?

But I was too stubborn to apologize so I walked away.

I felt even more guilty when I walked away.

Why did I snap like that?

Just why?

I never acted like that.

But a small piece of me said, He's so annoying at least he won't bother you anymore!

No.

I had to apologize but not now not yet.

We had to get out of this forest first.

But a red dime light stopped me in my tracks.

It was like the blue light but its red.

Does that mean... my dads here?
