Disclaimer: I own nothing

James' POV

I awoke to the sun shinning on my face and the sounds of birds chirping in the distance. Rolling over too my side I was greeted by the most beautiful sight. Lucy was on her side facing me. Her eyes were closed with her lips parted a bit. A red streak of hair was laying across her face. She looked so peaceful in her sleep, with no care in the world. After five minutes of just laying there I decided to get up and start making something to eat for the others. I went to the other side of the tree where I had left the bag, but when I got there the bag wasn't there.

I thought maybe I had left it some other place, so I started looking around to see if I could find it, but it was nowhere in sight. Where could it be? It's not like it could walk away on its own. I went to wake up Lucy and the guys to see if that had put the bag some where. I went to wake up the guys up first since Lucy looked so peaceful.

"Hey guys wake up" I whispered as I shook their shoulders. Nothing. They where out cold. After a few times of doing the same thing I just went and slapped them both across the face. That seemed to work 'cause they both got up holding their cheeks,

"HEY!" Both of them screamed out. "What the hell was that for." Kendall asked angrily.

"I tried waking you up gently but that didn't work so I just did what my sister always did to wake me up, but that's not the point. Have you guys seen my bag?"

"What bag are you talking about?" Logan asked

"The bag! You know the one that had all the food in it. Where is it?"

"Didn't you leave it on the other side of the tree last night. Why don't you look there?" Kendall replied while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"I already checked everywhere that's why I woke you guys up!" I yelled out in frustration.

"Whoa, Dude chill. Are you sure that you've look everywhere?" Logan asked

"YES!"

"Okay I've got nothing, lets ask Lucy and see if she knows where its is." Kendall walk over to Lucy and shook her awake. "Hey Lucy have you seen James' bag with all the food in it?" he asked her.

"Didn't he take it somewhere in his walk last night?" she asked sleepily. What was she talking about I didn't go on a walk last night.

"Lucy what are you talking about I didn't take a walk last night. In fact I just woke up about thirty minutes ago."

"But last night I woke up 'cause I was hearing noises and I saw someone walking while holding the bag. I thought it was you so I went back to sleep."

"So if I wasn't the person that went for the walk and it wasn't Lucy and I know you guys weren't the ones either then who the hell took our bag?"

"Why don't we just split up and look for whoever took the bag and meet back here?" Logan suggested.

"NO! we can't split up what of this guy is a crazy person. Whoever they are could hurt one of us. We need to stick together." Lucy said.

"Lucy is right," I started talking as I made my way toward her, "we don't know who this person is and what they are capable of. We need to stick together."

"Okay, so its settled we search for the bag together." Kendall said. With that said we started searching for the person that took our food. We had been walking for a while when we saw it. We saw a bag of chips that was in the bag. At least we know that we were going the right direction. Farther ahead we saw two empty water bottles laying on the ground. We were walking in silence following the little trail of food, when we heard it. It was a rattling sound.

"Guys is that what I think it is?" Lucy said with a scared voice.

"Everybody try not to panic maybe they aren't even that close," Kendall started talking before we all saw two rattlesnakes slithered three feet in front of us, "Never mind, Logan you're the smart one what do we do!"

"Umm um what ever you do don't run, then can tell where you are based on your movement." We all stood still hoping that the venomous snakes would just go away, but that wasn't the case. They just kept slithering closer and closer to us. I started to panic even more. I had never been in a situation this before. Once they got a couple of inches in front of us I couldn't take anymore I started running like there was no tomorrow.

I heard the guys and Lucy start screaming my name and heard start to run as well. I turned my head around while I kept running and saw that we had all ran in different directions and saw that one of the snakes was fallowing me with its mouth wide open just waiting to bite me. I started running even faster. After ten minutes of running I turned around again and saw that the snake wasn't behind me anymore. I finally was able to stop. I hunched over with my hands on my knees trying to catch my breath again.

I started looking around. I had no clue as to where I was and where the others had gone. I was lost. Okay I can't panic anymore. I need to find my way back to the park. I started to walk back in the direction I that I think was the direction I was running from. I kept on walking back hoping I was going the right way and I could find someone I knew. Nothing looked familiar to me but then again I was paying attention to my surroundings as I was running.

I was walking for a good thirty minutes when I saw my bag. It was under a big oak tree just laying there. I walk over and looked around to see if anyone was there. I didn't see anybody , so I grabbed my bag. As I was about to leave a girl with long blond hair came from the other side of the tree and slammed into me. Then boy wearing a helmet flew out of the tree and landed on top of me knocking the air out of me. The snatched the bag from my hands and started to run. I laid there for a couple of minutes. My mind was trying to process what the hell just happened. After a minute it clicked. I got up and started to chase after them.

I was able to catch up to them pretty quickly. I jumped on the boys back and knocked him down in the process. I started pulling the backpack of his back.

"HEY! Get off me! And leave my bag alone!" he screamed out.

"This is my bag you stole it from me and by friends." I said as I pulled harder. The blond girl was trying to push me off the helmet wearing boy. " Just give me that bag and no one gets hurt"

"Never this is our food now!"

"Hey give us our bag back you little stealers!" I heard Kendall's voice. I guess they found me. I got distracted and the boy took that as an advantage of that. Before I knew it I was laying on my back with the boy on top of me. I saw him reach for something in his back pocket. I turned my head to the side to see that the blond was pointing a gun at the guys and Lucy. I then felt something cold touch my throat. It didn't take me long to realize that the boy was hold a knife on me. The only thoughts running on my mind were Fuck we are going to die.
