Chapter 2
The Journey Begins
Chiro's P.O.V.
As we traveled through the jungles of the Savage Lands, I noticed something different about Elana. Her movements were a little slower than she usually was as she jumped off the trees with ease. She was hiding something, that much I was sure of. Jinmay told me before we left that she has been acting strangely lately and was worried about her. I saw Elana and Gibson stop at a tree branch. She looked around the area with caution before noticing something and told Gibson. He nodded and told her something before she nodded in reply. Then she turned to face looking nothing but serious as she spoke.
" We're about to enter the area through where the first set of traps are located. It would be best if we stayed in the trees until we pass this area. You never know what else may be lurking around, so keep a close eye." We nodded as we jumped from the different branches to see pit traps and all other assortments of traps. Now I'm glad that we really did listen to her directions or we would end up in those traps.
I switched places with Otto so I could talk to Antauri about Elana privately. He seemed to understand what it was about and answered my question before I could even ask it." I've noticed her strange behavior as well, but I decided that I would wait for her to tell us when she's ready. However, I have noticed that it looked like she was trying to hide something specifically from me, but I have no idea why she would want to. How about we wait for her to tell us, Chiro, but we can still follow her if she starts acting strangely."
I nodded as Elana stopped on the tree branch she was on with Gibson, who was right next to her. Gibson told her something as she nodded and then turned to face us. She looked worried but relieved as she spoke." We finally passed through the first area of traps. Gibson thinks that we should rest for the night and continue through the jungles more in the morning. There's a place close by that we can stay for the night." We nodded as we followed her to a clearing that had a lot of room. WE helped set everything up and got ready to go to sleep.
While I walked around a corner to where I decided to sleep, I saw Elana talking to Gibson. I hid behind a tree as I listened in on their conversation. Elana and Gibson didn't even seem to notice me. Gibson started talking to Elana very worried.
" Elana, you're not serious of going out in the middle of the night, just to survey the area? I know that you want to be sure of any trouble that we could run into along the way, but you need to rest. I'm not so sure that you can handle it with your current condition." I can understand her worry, but she needs to rest eventually and I wonder what this condition Elana has is that we don't seem to know about. Then Elana smiled at Gibson gently before she spoke.
" I understand your concern Gibson, but I'll be fine. I'm only going to survey the first mile or so before heading back, alright. Besides, I'm worried that the guys that I saw in the vision will attack everyone while they're asleep, which is why I want you to make sure everyone is safe until I get back. I'll contact you if I run into any trouble. I happen to know my limits very well Gibson, especially with my current condition."
Gibson sighed and nodded his consent." Alright Elana, but you are not allowed to engage anyone in combat. Especially because of your condition, otherwise I would say to go ahead and knock their heads clean off it you find it necessary to do so. If you don't come back here a bit after two hours then I'm sending someone to go out and find you." She nodded and then left the campsite. I looked at Antauri who nodded at my decision and left with me to follow her as well. I have a feeling that she wasn't telling Gibson the whole truth. I just hope that she doesn't get herself into any big trouble.
