I heard the voice again, but there was more than one.  There were four.  They were talking about me inside my head.  One of them told me that they were the Strangers, and that they need my help.  They want me to find four crystals and then they would take me home.  I know I'm not just making this up in my head.  I think I'm going to try and do what they say.  I've been wandering around these woods for so long that this is my best chance.  Maybe they really can help me.  Who are they?  Who are the Strangers?

One of the voices led me to a statue and told me to feed it, so I gave it one of my apples.  It must have worked because the statue slid aside and there was the most beautiful crystal behind it.  The Strangers got excited and told me to take it, so I did.  Also behind the statue is a path that seems to lead out of the forest.  Finally there is a way out of here.  The crystal is amazing.  I've seen nothing like it.  If I should survive this, I'll be rich.  I'll be able to buy a proper house for Lily and the
boys.  I'll take the path out of here in the morning.
