continued.
Everyone looked at Guy with wide eyes. "How did the bears fly?" Thunk asked
"They just did." Guy replied, he didn't know how to explain it to them.
"Lets get some sleep, we need to keep going in the morning." Grug said as he gathered around his family for a group sleep.
Guy looked at Belt as the family started to sleep "Belt, now is our chance."
Belt nodded, he started to untie the rope that held guy to a tree. Once free, Guy picked up Belt and too off running. Guy looked over his shoulder making sure no one saw him running, he miss stepped, then fell on his back.
Grug heard something in the distance, thinking it was another predator he looked up seeing Guy trying to escape. "Hey." He shouted, taking off after Guy.
Guy quickly stood up, running onto a giant patch of coral.
Grug stepped on the coral, then jumped off yelling in pain. He tried to step on it again, but the pain was too much.
"What's going on?" Ugga asked, string from her sleep.
"Guy got away, and I can't go after him." The family gathered around, trying to step on the coral.
Guy looked down at Belt who was on his shoulder. I want to help them. He thought to himself I want to help HER. He sighed, then walked closer to them. "I will help you, but the log ride ends." He looked down at the log, then at Grug "Kick it away."
Grug grunted, then with a powerful kick he kicked the log over Guy's head and over the hill.
"Good." Guy walked over to Thunk, tying fish to his feet. He then walked over to Sandy, Ugga, and Grug. After he got their shoes put on, he walked over to Epp. "Close your eyes." He said to her, while her eyes were closed he put shoes on her feet. "Okay, you an open your eyes now."
Epp screamed "OH my god, I love them." She looked around at her feet "Where are my feet?"
"There still there." Guy reassured her. Guy looked at the rest of the group "We need to keep going if we want to reach the half way point before night."
Grug reluctantly nodded, following guy and the rest of his family. After three hours of walking, they stopped to take a break and to cool off from the blazing sun.
Guy walked over to the ocean, jumping into it. He looked up seeing Epp watching him. Epp's red wavy hair hung down to her shoulders. "Come on in, the water if perfect."
Epp jumped in after Guy, swimming over to him. She smiled, her eyes sparkling in the sunlight. Deep down in her heart, she felt something that she had never felt before. She remembered her mom saying something about love, I love Guy. She thought to herself.
Guy smiled back at Epp, he wanted to tell her how beautiful she was, and how much he loved her. But how could he say that? Grug would kill him if he even got close. He shook the thought out of his mind, he didn't care, nothing could stop love. "So Epp." He hesitated for a second "There is something that I wanted to say the moment I met you." He took a deep breath "Epp...I love you."
Epp smiled at him, kissing him on the lips "I love you to."
Grug looked up from his rock, seeing Guy kissing his daughter. He stood up rushing into the water, he grabbed Guy dragging him back onto the land.
Guy was about to kiss Epp back when we was grabbed by Grug, he tired to fight but it was no use against the caveman. "Grug, it's not what it seems."
Grug pushed Guy against a tree "You started to command me around, now you try to steal my little girl?" Grug punched Guy twice, once in the jaw and the second in the stomach.
Guy fell as the two powerful punches landed down on him. He felt so weak and helpless, the only time he remembered feeling like this was when his family were killed.
Ugga saw her husband punching Guy, she quickly stood up, rushing over to the two. She stepped between them, hoping he hadn't hurt Guy to much.
Thunk and Gran ran over with Ugga, trying to separate Grug and Guy.
Epp helped Guy stand up "Are you okay?" She looked over at her father "What is wrong with you? I try to spend a few minutes with someone I like, and you blow up."
Grug grunted, walked off "I'm going hunting."
Epp held her hand out to Guy, helping him up. When guy removed his hand from his jaw to stand up, Epp saw a nasty bruise.
After standing up, Guy looked at Epp, then to the rest of the family "I'm sorry I have caused you guy's so much trouble. I guess Belt and I should head out on our own."
"You can't leave." Epp said in a chocked voice, every thing seemed to be going from bad to worse?
Ugga walked over to Guy and gave him a light smile "What happened today was not your fault. We would love for you to stay, we think of you as our family."
Guy didn't know what to say. Family? I haven't had a family since mine died when I was 9. Can I really just jump into another one? what if I lose them to? What if Grug kicks me out? What if they just leave me? Can I really take a chance of living with another family? He sighed then nodded "Thank you, I will stay for a few more days, but if I fell like Grug wants to kill me, then I will head on out."
A few hours later Grug returned with a giant egg, the family sat around the fire enjoying their delicious dinner.
"Guy, why don't you tell us a story." Epp said, giving him a loving smile.
"Yeah sure, have the smart guy tell a story." Grug said in a rude voice.
Guy looked down at the ground "years ago, there once live a family of five. The mother was named Ema, the father David, the sister Ryu, the brother Ray, and the other brother Josh." Guy tried to fight back the tears as he told the story have his family. "The family always went outside to find new things, they always tried to think of ideas." Guy paused a second, then continued. "Ryu was only 4 years old, she was out walking in black mud when she started to sink. She called for her parents and for Ray, they tried to get her out, but they had gotten stuck in the black mud." A tear fell down Guy's eye remembering the screaming from his family. "Josh ran over to his family seeing them stuck in the tar, he wanted to help them, but his mother said It's tar, and once someone get's stuck, they never get out. Don't hide, ride the sun to Tomorrow.
Thunk looked over at Guy "Your stories are always happy, why did this one end so badly?"
Guy looked up at Thunk "NOT ALL STORIES ARE HAPPY OKAY." Guy shouted, he got up walking away from the group. He hadn't told anyone about his life, and when he did tell it, he felt the pain all over again.
