-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where we last left off: Ace held hostage on Eric as he threatened the others as well. Melissa and Jackson were in the tent waiting, next in line for Ace's shooting. But when they heard that gun go off they really thought Eric was dead. Eric thought he was dead too. But then he realized he wasn't. Ace shot the tree enxt to him. Ace said he wasn't done and he'd be back. But at this time, will it be a time for them all to escape?

Melissa had told Jackson she didn't want it to be over. Neither did he. Nobody did. Daley, Lex, Taylor, and Nathan sat in the plane with deep feelings in their head. Eric was dead, soon it would be Melissa and Jackson, then them. So they thought.

Ace put the gun in his pocket and walked away deep into the woods. Where was he going? Was he gonna take long? Could the kids run for it?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eric sat there on his knees. His face dug deep into his hands as his eyes flooding his hands. This is still torture! Why didn't he shoot me?

He didn't move. He made no sounds. He sat stiff and only cried. Thats what everyone was doing.

Inside the plane, Nathan and Lex had comforted the girls. Turns out they needed comfort too. They all hugged eachother and wiped the tears away quietly listening to the outside noises. Was Ace coming?

Melissa squeezed Jackson like she never imagined she could. He thought he would die from then cuz he couldn't breath because her grip was so tight. He slowly tried to loosen her grip but she still clinged on. He didn't care anymore. The only thing he cared about anymore was keeping her safe. And of course, keeping the others safe.

He carefully helped her up and took her out of the tent. She didn't really want to cooperate. She only dug her face deeper into his chest the more they walked out. He took her over to a spot under the shelter. He had heard Ace leave so he knew it was safe for now. No sign of Eric as he looks around. He tries to get up but Melissa quickly pulls him back."I don't want y-you to g-go anywhere.I d-don't wanna be a-alone."She tries to say over all the tears she was practically drowning in.

"I gotta go find Eric."He said reassuring her he was gonna be okay.

"Hes already dead!" She cried and burst into even more tears.

"You don't know that! If you let me go look, and I find him, we can get the others before Ace comes back and we can run away from him. I won't let him hurt any of you." Jackson says to Melissa as she stops and wipes the tears from her face. She had cried so much she was hyperventilating.

"I guess that'd be okay."She sniffled. "Ok Ill be back. Ill only take 5 minutes.Stay here, if you think you hear Ace then run as fast as you can somewhere else until I come get you." He said as she nodded. Then he headed off.He found Eric before, alive. He was determined , and praying, it would happen again.
