Jill turned around to see what Kayla was doing but she didn’t see her. She yelled for her but she didn’t hear anything. Jill knew that Kayla did not go with her father.

Jill ran to a path that led deeper into the woods and yelled. No answer.

Jill looked around and saw Brian coming back.

“Brian, Kayla’s gone, I only turned my back for a minute and she was gone”, yelled Jill in a panic. Brian ran to the river but there was no sign of her.

“Kayla come here”, he yelled.

Still nothing.

They started looking through the woods around the campsite, but they couldn’t come up with anything. Jill ran back tot he picnic table, hoping that Kayla went back, she not see her anywhere. Brian was just about to go back to see if Jill found Kayla yet when he heard a soft sobbing voice. Brian ran towards the cry. As the cries got louder he saw Kayla sitting on a rock. Brian ran over to her and grabbed her. His eyes filled with tears of joy as he hugged her.

“Thank God you’re okay,” Brian cried.

“I tried to catch butterfly and got lost”, sobbed Kayla.

“That’s alright honey, but never run off like that again, okay,” Brian exclaimed!

“Sorry Daddy”, Kayla cried.

Brian yelled for Jill that he had found her.

“Oh my God is she okay”, cried Jill.
