Chapter 2: Explore
Alan was happy to be outside. They had only recently moved to the island and he never had time to look around himself because his daddy always wanted him to go with one of his older brothers. They would never have wanted to go where Alan wanted to go. They'd say it was too dangerous. Alan looked around as he passed trees, vines and small animals. If asked he would be happy to say he had toured the jungle before anyone in his family. He walked deeper and deeper never hearing his name being called by his family.

" Dad you don't think he walked in there do you?" John questioned concern etched onto his face as he pointed to the nearby jungle.
" I hope not John." Jeff replied to the thirteen year old as he told his eleven year old,Virgil to take Gordon back into the house and to stay there. Gordon and Virgil were about to protest when their father gave them the look as if to keep arguing with me and see what happens. They went, but not quietly as Jeff turned to his two eldest. " You two are coming with me, I want you two to stay as close to me as possible."
" Yes sir." They both replied following as close as possible as they walked into the jungle.
--Space--
" But, Virge. We can't just sit here Alan needs us to help." Gordon protested as Virgil let go of his little brother's hand once they got to the kitchen. Virgil kept quiet as he rummaged though the refrigerator for something to eat for his brother and himself as Gordon just kept right on going with his protest. " He could be hurt..."
" Dammit Gordon!" Virgil yelled Gordon jumped back in fright. Virgil saw that and reached out to his brother. " Gordy I'm sor..."
" NO! Allie could be hurt and we're just sitting here in the house waiting. I'm going to go help look for him!" Gordon argued moving towards the door as Virgil grabbed his arm and pulled his brother to him. " No, Virge let me go! Let me go..." Gordon whispered falling into Virgil's arms crying. " Please?"
" It's ok Gordy...Alan will be fine you'll see. " Virgil reassured his brother wrapping his arms around him. " I promise."
" But we gotta go help look." Gordon hiccuped pulling away a bit to look at Virgil to see him sliently crying. " Virge?"
" What happened if you got lost too? I can't deal with Alan not being here and you want to leave me too. I can't deal with that, I can't." Virgil cried as Gordon hugged his older brother tightly both crying till they both fell asleep on the kitchen floor.

Alan pulled himself over another root. He was having soo much fun exploring, he wished his family could see it too though. Alan shook his head smiling he would just bring them back later on to show them. Alan kept pulling himself up and over the roots trying to get to the top fast. He wondered if he could see the whole island from up there. With that in his mind he pushed himself to go faster so he could see if he was right. He pulled and pulled moving as fast as possible. He was almost there when he slipped.
" AHHHH!" He screamed trying to grab onto something to stop his decent back to the ground. Branches snapping and hitting him on the way down, but he didn't notice at the moment as he grabbed a hold of one of them. Happily he started to pull himself up when he noticed that the branch was slimy and scaly. Alan stopped his climbing for a second when he heard a hiss. His eyes widened and he let go in fright as he fell the last five feet down with an audible snap.
--Space--
John searched left, right, up and down. He looked everywhere as he moved ahead of the others a few feet. When he heard it. It was a scream and hoped to god it wasn't Alan. He looked into the direction where he heard it and screamed out Alan's name as he saw the baby of the family fall to the ground. He ran and he ran till he reached his baby brother leaving the other two behind.
" Allie!" John yelled as he dropped down beside him. Alan moaned then opened his glassy eyes.
" Owie...Johnny it hurts." Alan wimpered trying to move into his brother arms.
" Don't try to move baby. Where does it hurt?" John questioned running his fingers though his brothers hair to keep him calm as his father and Scott got closer, when Alan didn't answer John asked again trying to keep the worry out of his voice. " Alan where does it hurt?"
" My wrist...it hurts Johnny... make it go away." Alan cried when he tried to move his right wrist to show his brother.
" I see it Alan, don't try to move it ok. Does anything else hurt?" John asked fearing the answer.
" The branches hit me on the way down, but only my wrist hurts really bad. I'm sleepy Johnny." Alan replied closing his eyes for a moment when John shook him awake.
" You can go to sleep when we go home ok. Can you keep your eyes open that long for me?" John questioned looking up for a moment and moved out of the way when he saw his Dad and Scott get closer to them. He looked back down to see his brothers eyes closed once more. " Alan wake up."
Alan's eyes opened and this time he saw Scott and his Daddy with John next to him.
" Daddy m'sleepy." Alan muttered to his father who was checking him all over to see if there were anymore injuries.
" Don't go to sleep baby. You can sleep when we get you home ok." Jeff stated lifting Alan off the ground and into his arms to carry him home.
" That's what Johnny said... how long till we get home." Alan asked quietly, eyes drooping slightly. Scott shook him gently and Alan's eyes popped open again. " Stop waking me up Scotty m'sleepy."
John gave a small chuckled as they quickly approached the house which was less than fifteen feet away and Alan's eyes closed. Scott shook him once, twice and tried for a third time and Alan didn't open his eyes.
Note: Hey people how are you! I accidently deleted chapter 2 before I could revise it and redo it. So I sort of made up a new one. I hope you'll forgive me and enjoy this new installment.
