Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
It's just a three word sentence that can go so far. It's so simple, yet can make someone's day, and even their life.
"Chamer, I l-" Wilbur says, but gets interrupted when he notices Kaccey. "Chamer, I want you to meet my friend, Kaccey." Wilbur glares at Kaccey.
"Pleased to meet you." Kaccey says, not meaning what she says.
"Same to you." Chamer says, letting Wilbur out of the hug. "My name is Chamer."
"I know." Kaccey says, just as coldly as before.
The girls stare coldly at each other, until Kim interrupts them.
"I'm Kim!" Kim exclaims, running up to them, unaware of the angry glares. "And I'm a first mate! Arr!"
"This is my little sister, Kim." Wilbur says, picking up Kim.
"I'm four!" Kim says, holding up five fingers.
Chamer smiles at her. "What about Lewis?"
Lewis appears from behind Wilbur, and gives a small wave. She looks happy to see an old friend.
"I am truly glad you are all here." Chamer says, not looking at Kaccey. "But your visit must end early."
"How come?" Kim asks, sounding disappointed.
"It is just too dangerous at the moment. There are wars happening, and it would be too dangerous for Kim." Chamer explains. "I would not want Kim to get hurt, or anyone else." She wants to add in something about Kaccey getting hurt would be fine, but she restrains herself.
"That's why we're here." Wilbur says. "I kept having dreams about you."
"I am fine, but you will not be if you do not leave. I am sorry, but it is just too dangerous." Chamer says, looking around as if she had said too much.
Chamer looks over her shoulder just to make sure no one's there.
"Wilbur, I am being serious. Leave now." Chamer starts to sound more and more worried.
"What's the worst that could happen?" Wilbur asks, not understanding the dangerous situation. All he really cares about is that after four years away from her, Wilbur's finally with Chamer.
Suddenly, a spear lands inches away from Wilbur. He looks up to see where it came from, but no one's there.
"You just had to as that, didn't you?" Lewis accusingly asks.
"Wilbur, leave now." Chamer says through clenched teeth. She looks around to see where the spear came from.
Wilbur walks up to the time machine, then turns it invisible. "I'm not going."
"Wilbur, I know you do not want to go, but if you want to live, then leave!" Chamer begins to sound angry now. Kaccey seems to like their argument.
A second spear gets thrown at them, then almost out of nowhere, a new group of people arrive. Standing in the middle of them is their leader. He smiles proudly at Chamer. He says something in Mayan, and Chamer glares at him. She retorts back. The man seems calm about the situation, but Chamer keeps glaring at him. She turns to Wilbur.
"I told you to leave." She hisses at him.
The man says something else to Chamer. She keeps glaring at him.
"Wilbur, he does not understand English." Chamer whispers to Wilbur. "Run somewhere from here."
"I'm not leaving you." Wilbur stubbornly says.
"Then tell Lewis to take Kim somewhere safe." Chamer whispers back.
"What about Kaccey?"
"Yeah...her too."
Wilbur turns to Lewis and Kaccey. "You heard her. Run!"
"Where?" Lewis asks.
"Away from here." Chamer answers. "Hurry!"
The man says something to Chamer. She glances at Lewis. "Run!"
Lewis swiftly picks up Kim, then he and Kaccey run into the jungle, pushing large leaves to the side, and trying to dodge trees. Wilbur watches them run.
"I told you to run." Chamer hisses.
"I told you I'm not leaving without you." Wilbur whispers back.
"Then you may not make it back to your own time." Chamer says.
"Then it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
"Do you mean that literally?"
Lewis and Kaccey keep running through the green jungle. Lewis can hardly see in front of him, from the poor lighting. He trips over a root, nearly landing on Kim when he falls. Kaccey trips over him. Kim is about to get up, when Lewis pushes her down.
"Don't move." Lewis instructs.
"Why?" Kim asks.
"It's dangerous." Kaccey says.
The three stay silent. They try not to move, but Lewis can hear something. It's water, but it's not raining. He can smell salty air. Lewis crawls to where he hears the water, and soon finds himself out of the jungle and on a white sandy beach.
Kaccey and Kim are surprised to find a beach in the middle of a jungle.
"Are we safe now?" Kim asks, sounding a bit annoyed.
"Yes." Kaccey says.
"Good, 'cause I'm tired." Kim says. She goes on her hands and knees, then falls over to her side, already half asleep.
"I hope Wilbur's ok." Kaccey says, staring into the ocean.
"What about Chamer?" Lewis asks.
"Her too." Kaccey quickly adds in.
"I'm sure Wilbur will be fine." Lewis tries to sound confident.
"This is Wilbur we're talking about." Kaccey says.
"But he's with Chamer. She'll keep him safe." Lewis adds in.
"That's what I'm afraid of." Kaccey lays down beside Kim, and tries to fall asleep, and Lewis does the same.
"Goodnight, Kim." Lewis says.
"Mmm-mmm." Kim says, already half asleep. Kaccey and Lewis soon fall asleep.
