We finished eating as I looked outside again and shook my head. Nobody's out there, Nat. Not in this weather. I heard thunder boom as the lighting flashed. That's when I saw a figure.
"Someone's out there!" I say, shooting up to my feet.
"Kid, it's pouring frogs out there. I'm sure it was just your eyes playing tricks on you. Don't worry." Sully said as Nate nodded.
"Yeah, Nat. We're safe for tonight." Nate added as I remained quiet. I saw something. I know I did.
"Right.." I say distractedly as I looked at the fire and put my legs up to my chest.
"So, what's our game plan for when the weather clears?" I ask them as I rested my chin on my knees.
"Well, our first priority is to get to that radio tower and try to get in contact with someone." Sully said as Nate nodded.
"Right. Until then, we just survive." Nate said as I chuckled.
"We seem to be doing pretty good so far. Managed to hide from the tribe, found supplies, even killed and cooked a tiger!" I say as I sat back against the wall of the cave. That's when I thought I heard footsteps.
"What was that?" Nate asked as I grabbed the spear.
We got up against the edges of the cave as tribal men ran into the cave. We couldn't fight them in this enclosed space.
"Crap! Run!" Nate yelled as I grabbed the supply pack and we took off straight into the storm.
"Go, go!" Nate yelled as I took off into the jungle, my feet sliding in the deep mud from all of the rainfall. Wet leaves slapped my face as I didn't stop running. I soon stopped and put my hands on my knees, soaked strands of my hair sticking to my face as my boots and pants were covered in mud.
"We got lucky, didn't we?" I ask but got no answer.
"Nate? Sully?" I ask but still got no reply from the surrounding darkness. I shuffled blindly through the pack as I felt what I was searching for. I pulled the flashlight out and switched it on, shining it around.
"Crap.." I say as I realized we must have gotten separated during all of the chaos. I couldn't risk using the walkie-talkie in case they were hiding.
"Here we go." I say to myself before picking up my pack. Looks like I'm on my own until I find the guys.
