Chapter 10

"They will save us." said Eric once more as he starred up at the sky, the moon was full and the stars were bright. Eric then slowly fell asleep as did Daley, Nathan, and Taylor.

Meawhile time has past, Jackson, Lex, and Mel wher all sitting by the large pond of water and the cliff, were they fell. They had a fire going and tehy were eating mango's and figs and they were drinking coconut milk. They were all still soaked, except for Jackson's sweatshirt which he took off and put it really close by the fire to get it dry.

They were all sitting around the fire eating quietly, with out a word, it was silent. Jackson was betweent Lex and Mel. Melissa was so quiet she was just starring at the flames of teh fire, her eyes were locked on it. Jakcson looked over to her and saw her starring sadly at the fire.

"Hey, umm why did you run?" whispered Jackson as he nudged her shoulder.

"Why did you run after me?" whispered Mel, as her eyes were still locked on the fire.

"Because, I care and I was worried, now you answer my question." whispered Jackson.

"All my power is to be invisable, it's a weak power, summer told me it was strong, but when I saw Abby, Winter, Ian, and Jorey coming towards us I panacked." said Melissa as hse turned her head towards him.

"You have a really strong power, and it will help us save Eric, Taylor, Nathan, and Daley. You have a great power, don't think otherwise." said Jackson.

Melissa just smiled a bit.

Behind Jackson, Melissa, and Lex was a tree, a large tree they could a lean against to sleep.

Whe neveryone was finished with there meal Jackson spoke:

"We should probaly get to sleep, we're gonna need alot a energy tomorrow." said Jackson as he grabbed his sweatshirt and leaned agaist the tree. Lex went next to him and Mel went next Lex.

Jackson put is sweatshirt over Lex, to keep him warm.

"What about you Jackson, you need to k..keep w..warm too." said Lex.

"I'll be fine, don't worry." said Jackson.

Melissa put the fire out, the full moon and the stars above them were bright so that wa there light.

"We have t othink a plan, for tomorrow." said Lex as he shut his eyes.

"Hey, don't worry, we will think of one tomorrow, just go to sleep." said Jackson as he stroked Lex'es hair. In a few minutes Lex was asleep. Melissa who was still awake as was Jackson, she looked up at Jackson who was still strokeing Lex'es hair and said:

"Your really good with him." whispered Mel.

"Yea, well he's a good kid, now lets try to get to sleep to." said Jackson as he closed his eyes.

"Jackson." whispered Mel.

"Yea?"whispered Jackson.

"Thankyou." siad Melissa

"No problem.' said Jackson as he drifted off to sleep.

Melissa then closed her eyes and went to sleep, while she slept she remebered when she talked withEric the night before and he said that everything would be alright, she is still hoping. With Jackson's arm around Lex and Lex leaning agaiast his chest and Mel's arm also around Lex the three fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning the sun rose, the sky was still light pink and blue. Melissa was the first t owake. She slowly opened her eyes. She stretched and slowly stood up. She quietly walke over to the pond and cupe her hands into the cool water and splashed her face with the water. After the rinse she dryed her face wit hher shirt and walked over to Jackson and Lex. She glared at Jackson's water proof watch and it said 6:00 AM. She sighed and the shook Lex and Jakcson.

"Lex, Jackosn it's morning." said Melissa quietly as she gently shook them.

Jakcosn's tired eyes opened so fast, but when they refelsted on teh sun he blinked a few times. Lex slowly woke he sat up from Jackson's warm chest and took of the sweatshirt that Jackson gave him to keep warm. Jackson lifted his arm off Lex and rubbeed his eyes.

"What time is it?" asked Lex.

"6, witch means we have enough time to get back to camp, maybe there still asleep." said Melissa.

Lex nodded excitedly and Jackson slowly nodded he was still really tired.

"Lex, why don't you go rinse your face in the pond." said Melissa.

"Ok." said lex as he stood up and walked over to it, Melissa then looked over at Jackson and said:

"Did you sleep at all last night, you look exsusted." said Melissa in a concerend tone.

"I woke up a few times last night, I was just worried about today." said Jackson.

"Maybe a good rinse wit hsome cold water will help you wke." laughed Melissa as she nidged him towards the deep, clear pond. Jackson chuckeled a bit and walked over. After eating someleftover fruit they were ready.

On there was they were all talking.

"We still need a plan." said Lex.

"I know, but what?" said Jackson.

"Let's stop and think for a few minutes about it." said Melissa as she stopped as did Jackson and Lex.

"We need to trick them." said Lex.

"I know, but how?" questioned Mel.

Jackson then had an idea.

"Mel, are you sure you don't have another power?" asked Jackson.

"Yea, Summer only gave us one power each." said Melissa.

"Yea, but have you guys ever seen any of those movies where that people who have this pwoer can also have like a sheild to protect themselves?" asked Jackson.

"Yea, but why would Summer lie?" asked Lex.

"We'll if I do have another power how can we triger it?" questioned Mel as she gazed u pat her friends.

The three stood thinking.

"Maybe by getting scared." said Jackso nas he snapped his fingers.

"Alright, but how am I going to get scared now?" asked Mel.

"I think I have an idea Mel, but you have to go along with me." said Jackson.

"Ok." said Meliss as she bit her lip.

"Ok, close your eyes and imagine Abby useing her power, she then maybe gets a large umm...boulder and lifts it high i nthe air and throws it at you." said Jackson as he made a noise in front of her, which made Mle jump she then threw her arms in frontt of her and a large sheild surrounded her.

"Melissa, you did it!" said Lex excidedly.

Melissa slowly opened her eyes and saw it she the nslowly gave a grin as did Jackson.

"Now we're getting somewhere." said Jackson.
