[/i] Adeena thought angrily, giving a hard tug to free her foot, that was soaked to the ankle. She finally made it to the long and planted herself right down, taking deep breaths to calm herself down. She scoured her mind for any information that might help her out of this predicament, as her mind wandered she couldn't help but hear a trickling sound, a steady stream of water. She perked up, that was a good sign, if there was water, she could follow it up to the path. Jumping to her feet, she ignored the queasy squishing in her boot and tried to find the source of the sound.

She finally felt that she was making some progress, the sound was getting louder as she got nearer to it. She squinted and looked ahead of her, just barely seeing an entrance to a small clearing where the water was located. Breaking through the small wall of branches and leaves, she set her sights on the local Hoh River. There wasn't anyone around, to Adeena's dismay, but just finding this place was an accomplishment in itself. She got busy, walking to the river's edge and unlacing her boots, making a disgusted face at the brown gunk that covered it. She reached over to her bag and searched till she found what she was looking for, a granola bar, this food was a symbol of celebration. As she took a bite out of the snack she noticed a snapping sound, thinking it was her own chewing, she stopped and listened intently. It was footsteps, making their way to the river as well.
