I updated in the same day! How awesome! Thanks for the review! Enjoy!
Wilbur wakes up, catching his breath. He looks around. The sun is lighting up the tent. Beside Wilbur is Chamer, sleeping soundly. Wilbur calms himself. It was only a dream. It was something about clones and evil robots, but that can't happen. It was only a dream.
Wilbur takes in a deep breath as he looks at Chamer. This will be his last day with her. He wishes she could stay. He wants to kick himself for suggesting that she should find her family.
Chamer stirs, then awakes. She looks excited with a big smile on her face. Her eyes are bright and excited. "Wilbur, this is it? Today is that day!"
"Yeah, I know." Wilbur says, trying to share her happiness. Does she not realize they won't see each other again? Wilbur exists the tent. "Come on, let's go inside and eat."
"No, I cannot. I am too excited!" Chamer jumps around happily. Wilbur had never seen Chamer like this. She must be the happiest girl in the world right about now.
"Then let's get to the time machine." Wilbur says.
He and a bouncy Chamer go the front of the house. He gets inside of the time machine he left on the front lawn from yesterday. Chamer hops inside, hardly sitting still. Wilbur sighs, then presses a button. The time machine comes to life and they go into the sky. Swirling light goes over the time machine and then, they're in Maya.
"So, where was the last time you saw your family?" Wilbur asks, in almost a monotone voice.
"I cannot remember. Maybe if you keep moving, I will see something familiar." Chamer responds, not reacting to the sadness in Wilbur's voice.
After driving and a bit of stalling from Wilbur, Chamer notices something. An oddly shaped tree. The tree is half uprooted, but it somehow looks sturdy. Wilbur lands the time machine and turns it invisible.
Chamer excitedly jumps out of the time machine and looks around. She races around, taking in everything, looking almost like a little girl.
"Yes, I remember that tree!" Chamer points to the tree. She finds a faded dirt path and follows it. "I lived near here. Maybe my family is still there."
Wilbur follows Chamer. Chamer twirls down the path joyfully. She stops at one part. There isn't much foliage here. Some trees were cut down. She puts her hand to her head, remembering something. Wilbur hopes she's deciding to change her mind and going back to the future.
"I remember." Chamer says. "I remember what happened to my family. We lived here, but a jaguar attacked. We got separated."
"Was your family...alright?" Wilbur asks.
"I do not know. We were separated." Chamer says.
Chamer keeps leading Wilbur down the path. Chamer is starting to walking slower and slower as if each step brings something back. She hears terrified screaming, but no one but Wilbur is around her. Faded people are running from something, but what?
Chamer turns a corner and stops. Wilbur almost runs into her.
"I remember." Chamer whispers.
"What happened?" Wilbur asks.
"A jaguar." Chamer whispers.
Wilbur's stomach churns. He doesn't want to think of what might have happened to Chamer's family.
"Was the jaguar big?" Wilbur asks.
"Wilbur, I do not want to think of it." Chamer says.
"Was it big?"
"Yes."
"Black and even darker spots?"
"Yes."
"A very dark patch over its right eye?"
"Yes." Chamer turns to face Wilbur. "How do you know."
Wilbur points a shaky finger to the remaining foliage. Out from behind a bush leaps a big black jaguar. Its muscles ripple under its dark coat. The jaguar roars, its voice shaking the ground. It takes a step forward that rattles the earth beneath its massive paw. It licks its lips and takes another step forward, its tail moving from side to side. Then, it lunges forward.
Oh my gosh! What will happen next? Please review!
P.S I think this is might be third last chapter!
