Chapter 9

Jackson, Melissa, and Eric walked and walked. Jackson said that they should travel until the sun rises just in case of Abby. They were all tired and scared. The teens stopped for a quick water break.

"Eric, you ok?" asked melissa.

"You look kind of pale." stated Melissa in a soft tone to Eric.

"Yea." said Eric in a quiet voice.

"Jackson took a sip of his water and then said: "Let's keep moving." and with that he started walking followed by Mel, and Eric.

The sky was getting lighter. They weren't close to shore, because of Abby, but they all could see the ocean. The sun was now riseing.

"Alright, let's stop here." said Jackson as he loosend his straps from his shoulders. It was a small clearing, there where 2 logs that fell and a few rocks. Jackson sat on the log and took off his pack and rubbed his shoulder.

"We should all try to sleep, so we can get our strength back." said jackson as he unzipped his pack and pulled out his sleeping bag and one of those sheets you put on the ground, because if it's damp. The sheet was big enough for 10 people. (They had to bring them for the eco camping trip they thought they were going on.)

Eric walked over to a rock for away from jackson and Melissa. And sat there looking out at the dense jungle.

"Jackson?" asked Melissa as she walked over to hem and sat down.

"whats up?" asked Jackson.

"Do you think Eric is ok? He seems different." said Melissa.

"He almost got killed by Abby who has gone completly nuts, I think that might have out hem over the edge." said Jackson in a quiet tone.

"Probaly, but he hasn't spoken at all and he looked kind of pale today." protested Mel.

"He might be sick, we need to keep an eye on hem." said Jackson.

"Mel, you ok?" asked jackson.

Melissa sheded a tear as she looked at Jackson's blue-gray eyes. "That was so scary, what if I hadn't hit Abby, would Eric still be alive. What if..." said Melissa.

"Mel, you saved Eric. He's Alive now and that's all that matters. I know your still freaked so am I and so is Eric. It's ok." said Jackson as he looked at her.

"Thanks." said Melissa.

"No problem." said Jackson.

"Can you go collect some firwood, I'll try to find some fruit." said Jackson as he stood up.

"What about Eric?" asked Melissa.

"He just needs some time to himself." said Jackson as he walked off into the jungle.

Melissa brought back some fire wood about 15 minutes later. Jackson came back 20 minutes later with a few coconuts, mangos, and figs. Melissa got the fire started.

"I guess we should eat now, Mel can you go get Eric?" asked Jackson.

"Sure." said Melissa as she walked over to Eric who was sitting on the rock.

"Eric, time to eat. Jackson found some fresh fruit." said Melissa.

"K coming." sad Eric as he got of the rock and started walking behing Melissa.

"Whoah! I'm dizzy." said Eric.

Melissa turned arouns and Eric went thud onto the ground.

"Eric, oh god! Eric!" called Melissa to Eric who was unconsious.

"Jackson help!" cried Melissa.

Jackson stood up and ran over to mel.

"Mel what happened?" asked Jackson as is worried scared look appeared on his face when he saw Melissa sitting next to unconsious Eric.

"Eric said he was dizzy and then he just collapsed!" said Melissa.

"Quick, help me carry hem we will bring hem to his sleeping bag." (Jackson set up Mel's, his, and Eric's sleeping bags before.)

Melissa and Jackson brought hem to his sleeping bag and placed hem on it. Jackson quickly got out there first aud kit. There was even a booklet of all kinds of sicknesses. There was an extra. While Jackson flipped through the pages Melissa put a cool cloth on Eric's head. She then pushed back his hair and said:

"Please Eric, be ok."
