[BoJamesDuke]

*lip quivers, looking to him*

[DaisyMaeDuke]

*sighs looking at the sky* It is gettin dark...you wanna go home? *softly*

[BoJamesDuke]

*whimpers with a sniff, nodding and rubbing his eyes...he knew Luke probably thought he was a big baby now*

[DaisyMaeDuke]

*nods a little and taking his hand starts in the direction of the farm*

[BoJamesDuke]

*says in a quivery voice*

Wuke...

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Yeah buddy?

[BoJamesDuke]

*sniffs*

M'sowwy...

[DaisyMaeDuke]

*frowns* What for?

[BoJamesDuke]

*chokes softly, sniffing hard and rubbing his eyes more as tears slipped down his face*

Bein'..a..baby...

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Aw Bo...ya ain't a baby.... *hugs him* Salright... s'my fault fer bringin ya out here so late n all...*thinking it was getting to be an even worse idea because...here in the dark...the way back to the farm looked much different; in truth, he wasn't sure they had come this way at all*

[RogerDuke]

*walking with little Daisy with flashlights through the woods just east of the back 40, yelling out Luke and Bo's names*

[BoJamesDuke]

*hugs Luke back, wanting to be picked up and hugged more than anything like his Uncle did when he was frightened*

[DaisyMaeDuke]

*turns to Bo knowing what his uncle normally did and lifts him to his arms, Bo being small for his age* I gotcha...it's ok

[BoJamesDuke]

*whimpers softly, burying his head in Luke's shoulder*

[DaisyMaeDuke]

It's ok....*hugs him gently as he walked on trying to be brave though it was getting darker out*

[BoJamesDuke]

*stays huddled into Luke, shaking softly*

[DaisyMaeDuke]

*trudges on trying not to mind all of the eerie night sounds*

[RogerDuke]

Jesse *looking down at little Daisy while holding her hand and walking through the woods with flashlights*

The two of them were heading toward the Old Indian Cave on a hunch. Jesse had overheard Luke talking to little Enos a couple weeks ago about running away from home and living in the cave because he got a whippin' for throwing a meadowmuffin at Daisy

[BoJamesDuke]

*continues to stay huddled into Luke, while Luke was trying to ignore the eerie sounds little Bo couldn't ignore them and they made him all the more frightened as he clung to his older cousin*

[DaisyMaeDuke]

*hangs on to Bo as he walked through the woods, biting his lip as the moon made shadows all around them*

[RogerDuke]

*continuing flashback*

Trying to keep his cool while walking through the woods so Daisy wouldn't start to cry Jesse began to second guess his decision. He wondered if he had underestimated the seriousness of the situation. He wished that he would have made some phone calls asking for help before he left. He felt a chill down his spine to think that his hunch could be wrong. What if the boys went toward the creek? The possible consequences of that made the very core of his soul tremble with fear.

He prayed silently while outwardly talking with a soothing voice to little Daisy, telling her to listen closely in case she heard the boys yell.

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Luke meanwhile was thankful Bo was hugged into him. At least that way, he wasn't facing him...and if he wasn't facing him, he wouldn't see the tears in his eyes.

[BoJamesDuke]

*continued to whimper softly into Luke's shoulder, his little hands bunched up into Luke's shirt with his eyes squeezed just as tightly shut. He wanted nothing more to be back at the farm right now with him and Luke safely in the arms of their aunt and uncle.*

[DaisyMaeDuke]

It's ok Bo...we'll be home soon *softly though he had no idea where home was*

[RogerDuke]

As if his heart wasn't filled with more worry than it could hold, Jesse just had another horrible thought as he checked his watch. Lavinia was due home from choir practice soon. What would she think? He just realized that he never left her a note or anything.....
