The Jungle Movie Revised- Chapter 2

Arnold and his friends waited patiently for a few minutes before a bus pulled up. It looked to be and old style school bus painted in greens and browns. A man stepped away from the drivers seat, a huge smile on his face.

"Man," Gerald whispered. "Is it just me or does he give you the heeby jeebies?"

Helga laughed loudly. "I feel ya there hair boy."

"Hello there. Which one of you young men is Arnold Shortman? The contest winner?" Arnold held out his hand.

"I am Sir."

"Well it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I am Mr. Rivers, your guide for the trip. These must be your guests, Helga, Phoebe, and Gerald. It's nice to meet you all. Now if you please board the bus, we haven't got time to lose" On the drive out towards the camp site Helga watched out the widow as the scenery passed by. It was quite beautiful in San Lorenzo, tall trees and brush n both sides of the dirt road. Helga ignored the odd feeling she got in the pit of her stomach, chalking it up to the fact that she was nervous for being in a foreign country.

"Man, this is so cool!" Gerald was actually bouncing in his seat, enough to make Phoebe cover her mouth and giggle at the sight. Gerald raised an eye brow. " What are you laughing at Pheebs?

"Oh nothing. You just resemble a young child, is all" Surprising all of us Gerald grinned evily and lunged at Phoebe. Using one hand to hold both arms over her head he used the other to tickle under her arms. Honestly Phoebe made that pretty easily wearing Khaki shorts and a navy blue tank top. "Gerald! Stop!" Phoebe shrieked with laughter trying hard not to kick him.

"You have to admit that I'm not a young child."

"No! I can't! You know I don't lie!" At that comment Arnold and Helga howled with laughter. "Ok! OK! Fine! Your not a young child!"

"What am I Pheebs?"

"I don't know, what are you Gerald?" Gerald's hand shot behind her knee. "OK! Your a man Gerald! Stop before I pee!"

Helga got up an sat next to Arnold. "I think they are flirting. It's about time, don't you think?

"Yeah I know."

Just then the bus screeched to a halt. "All right you guys. Grab your packs and lets skedaddle." Helga raised a eyebrow. (she got rid of the unibrow) skedaddle? Slowly they trudged through the forest along a barely used path until the heard quiet roaring in the distance. Helga inhaled, loving the scent that permeated the air, a little flowery and slightly spicy from something unknown. It took them a few hours but we had our tents set up, three of them, one for the guide, and two for the group. Guys would be in one and the girls would be in another. " Well, I've got to go take care of something but I'll be back soon." Everyone nodded and watched as Mr. Rivers walked off, all unaware of the satisfied smirk that had no innocence about it.

Phoebe yawned. "Helga, I'm worn out. Do you want to go ahead and get to sleep? Mr. Rivers will wake us up when he gets back."

Helga nodded. "Sure, Pheebs. It's been a long day." Having the same idea, the boys followed suit and entered their own tent.

The tents were quite large, having a 'living room' and too bedrooms, although each room was tiny. Phoebe and Helga went into their rooms were small cots were set up. Helga changed into her pink boxers and pink night shirt and climbed under the blanket. Helga was asleep within minutes.

…...

Helga groaned and shifted in her sleep. No, no, somethings wrong, her mind screamed at her. Where was everybody? What happened to the camp.? They can't be gone! Please don't let them be dead. I knew something was fishy, Helga frantically raced around camp, searching through shredded tent, all with tears blurring her vision. They were gone! Truly gone! Helga fell to her knees and sobbed loudly. "Phoebe! Arnold!" Helgas cries grew louder as her pain grew. Somehow she knew there was no point in searching for them. They were gone, all dead, she could feel it in her heart. Just then a loud plopping noise sounded. Startled Helga went to investigate, but screamed at the sight before her. It was Arnold, his head twisted funny and blood slowly draining from a huge slash in his chest. "NO!'" Helgas heart froze and turned black.

"Helga! Helga honey wake up! Gerald go get Arnold! She was comfortable with him on the plane maybe he can wake her up. Oh God, what could poosibly make her scream like this!"

Helga ignored the voices, and screamed when Phoebes body dropped out of no where next to Arnold's prone form. Finally Gerlad's body landed, the last straw, tearing her heart to pieces. Her friends, her Arnold, Phoebe all dead.. Helga cried, sobbing and screaming in intervals. What is she supposed to tell their families? How is she ever going to be happy again? "Helga! Wake up! I'm right here, it's just a dream Helga, wake up for me." Helga sat wide eyed. Was that..? It couldn't be.. Just then she heard what sounded like whispering and fabric shifting. Helga wondered vaguely what that was but froze when she heard his voice again. "Helga, please.."

Helgas eyes shot open, tears blurring her vision for a moment. A minute later her suroundings registered and the fact that it all wasn't real. It was all a nightmare "Armold!" Helga sobbed, shooting her arms around him. "It's was terrible.. I never want to see that again.."

"What were you dreaming about Helga? You were screaming... so loudly" Arnold held her against his chest, rubbing her hair soothingly.

"All of you.. dead. The camp was in pieces.. and your body came from nowhere, bleeding.. torn. Then Phoebes, then Geralds. I lost all of you. Oh God. I never want to see that again."

Arnold sucked in a sharp breathe but stayed quiet, soothing her with nonsensical words and soothingly stroking her hair. What a horrible thing to see. He was horrified she had gone through such a thing and began to wonder why she had nightmares so often. "It's over, none of it's real. I won't let anything happen, I promise."

Helga pulled back. "Arnold, something doesn't feel right."

"It's alright Helga, your awake, you don't have to see that again."

"No, you don't understand. Something about this situation feels wrong. Mr. Rivers, seems too fake." Arnold had a feeling that this was partly an attempt to forget the nightmare but he figured he'd talk to her about those later.

"What do you mean?"

"He seems fake. Too happy, too quiet. What time is it? How long was I asleep?" Helgas thoughts raced.

"It's been a few hour. I actually think it's nearly morning." Helga ran out of the tent, breathing hard.

"Arnold it's gone." Helga kicked at the air frustrated. "I should have known! I knew something was off!" Helga whipped around. "There's another part of the dream I didn't tell you about, Arnold. Do you have your parents journal?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Do you remember the description of the La Sombra?" Helga stared at Arnold and waited for it to click. His eyes widened. "Now you get it? That was Him!

"But that description could be anyone.."

"Arnold he hasn't come back yet! It's been hours. What could he possibly be doing?"

"Oh dear." Phoebe covered her mouth.

"Arnold...your parents may still be alive.."

…...

Arnold and Gerlad rushed around packing up the basics, food, canteens a couple changes of clothes for everyone, while Arnold and Helga searched through the journal hoping to find a place to hide. The four of them had come to realize that if Mr. Rivers was La Sombra then he may very well come back for Arnold. They had also learned of the stone La Sombra was after. A football shaped green stone called La Corazon. The stone was sacred to the Green Eyed people, said to grant great fortune to the one the stone judged most selfless. How La Sombra thought he would get the fortune, they have yet to figure out but that was besides the point.

They found a map leading to a small cave a few hours away from where they were at. So in a hurry, Helga changed into a pair of Khaki shorts and a forest green tank top. Finishing off her outfit she slipped back into her hiking boots, pink of course. "You ready you guys?" Everyone grabbed their packs and headed off in the direction they hoped was right. "Arnold? What do we do now?"

"I don't know Helga. I want to find my parents, but I don't want any of you hurt. I'm kind of conflicted." Helga was surprised he had told her all this so easily. She had expected him to just stick with I don't know. That's what she would have done.

"Well, i'm not letting you do that alone." Helga gripped his arm a little then let her hand drop.

"Helga.."

"Sorry Arnoldo. That's something your gonna have to suck up and deal with."

"What ever you say Helga." Helga sighed. It was like old times. Well besides the fact that she and her friends were hiking through a south American jungle, to hide from a selfish villain in hopes of getting great fortune. Whatever. The trek through the trees was long and tiring. They had to make there own path, pushing limbs and nasty unknown whatevers out of the way occasionally. Helga didn't really want t dwell on what could possibly be so slimy so she just trudged on, slowly losing energy as she went. Finally they came up on a small hillside. After a few minutes of searching Phoebe called over to the others.

"You guys! It's over here! It's actually quite large. It took a few minutes but they finally got settled on the cold cave floor. "Gerald and I will go get some firewood for the night. Then after we catch some sleep we can determine what to do next. Sound ok?"

"Sure thing Pheebs." Helga sighed and leaned against the stone wall, totally worn out. Arnold moved next to her and leaned back.

"I didn't know what was gonna happen when we came here. In all honesty, I came here for my parents"

"I figured. I don't lame you though, i'd probably do the same thing." They stayed quiet after that. Finally Helga fell asleep, finally able to rest after a long day of nightmares, discoveries and running. Arnold watched Helga as she slept, so peacefull looking. But that only lasted a few minutes before she began to whimper. He wondered briefly why she had nightmares so often. It couldn't be healthy. So without a second thought, he pulled her to him , draped her legs over his, wrapped one arm around her waist and let his other hand rest just above her knee Helga wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled into his chest again. Arnold fell asleep like this completely content for the moment. The last thought that ran through his head was that he wished this would happen more often.

…...

After waking up,and being totally embarrassed about how she woke up, Helga and Arnold decided to consult the journal again. "Arnold look. It's says right here that the Green Eyed People live about eleven kilometers from here. Phoebe how many miles is that do you think?

"I believe that its just under seven miles." Helga didn't comment on the fact that Gerald had his arm around Phoebe's waist. "So what? Are we going to go see them?"

"I don't know Pheebs." Arnold ran his hand through his now very unruly hair. "The journal says that it took my parents forever to gain their trust. But I don't know what else to do. Maybe if we find them we find my parents. Or where they could be?" On that note, the four of them began packing up the blankets Phoebe and Gerald had unpacked, all while eating breakfast bars packed in Geralds bag.

Since the journal said to go west, Arnold pulled out a compass he found in a pocket of his bag and led the way. Arnold was thankful. His friends didn't question him at all, didn't suggest they do something safer. They just followed along, and gave their support. And then their was Helga. Her 'juat suck it up' comment really made him think. Over the years Arnold had come to realize that was a very caring person. She would do anything for those she cares about, but very few people actually saw from her. A huge example was when they were in fourth grade. Arnold had wanted desperately to reunite Mr. Hyunh with his daughter, but was devastated when he found out that he couldn't. But he was probably the happiest person on the planet when they young girl walked in totally nervous. Helga didn't know it but just as she was walking back down the street he had looked out the window to see her glance t his house with a soft smile on her face before continuing on home. He knew it was just too much of a coincidence that she just happen to 'pass by' just as Mr. Hyuhns daughter showed up. Arnold was startled out of his thoughts when a hand gripped his arm like a vice. Helgas eyes were slanted in anger, and a hint of fear.

"Come with me, and your friends won't get hurt."
