Chapter 3
Roxton woke up about thirty minutes later. The others all surrounded him.
Challenger: "Roxton are you all right? Where's Marguerite?"
Roxton: "Marguerite? Oh my god Challenger, he has her."
Roxton tried to break out of Challenger and Malones grip.
Roxton: "I have to go find her now. I'll kill myself if anything happens to her."
Challenger: "Alright, how is your leg?" noticing the blood.
Roxton: "It's fine, an arrow just knicked the flesh."
They all walked back to the tree house to go get supplies. All four of them set out on their journey to go bring Marguerite back home to them.
Malone: "How are we going to find where they went?"
Veronica: "Marguerite's smart, between what Roxton and I taught her about survival, she'll find out a way to let us know where she is."
Roxton: "I hope your right Veronica."
Challenger: "We'll get to her Roxton."

Marguerite slowly followed Charles. She couldn't stop thinking about Roxton. Every now and then she snapped a branch, remembering all the lessons Roxton and Veronica taught her. She knew they would come after her. She was glad and worried at the same time. She was glad that they would risk their lives to find her, but that was why she was worried. She didn't want them to risk their lives for her. Charles came up behind her and shoved her.
Charles: "Walk faster."
Marguerite: "Where are you taking me?"
Charles: "Back to our home."
Marguerite: "Why?"
Charles: "Because I want you."
Marguerite: "You are a sick monster."
Charles: "I would watch that mouth of yours Marguerite, it'll get you into trouble one of these days."
Marguerite: "Why, what are going to do about it? Beat me like you did when we were married?"
Charles didn't feel like listening to her so he went over and slapped her across the face.
Charles: "Shut up."
Marguerite stayed silent for the rest of the walk hoping the others would come soon. She didn't feel like annoying Charles. She had gotten use to the beatings but she didn't want him to harm the baby.

Veronica: "See Roxton, I told you Marguerite was smart." holding up a broken twig that Marguerite had snapped.
Roxton: "How far away from them do you thing we are?"
Challenger: "Maybe twenty to thirty minutes."
Roxton: "Then let's walk faster."
The others didn't argue because they were just as anxious to have Marguerite back.
~~~~
Charles: "Well this place looks secluded enough. We'll rest here for the night."
Man 1: "Should we start a fire?"
Charles: "No, Marguerite's friends will find us if we do."
Man 2: "You want us to freeze to death?"
Charles: "You won't freeze. We are in a jungle, it doesn't get cold in jungles. Besides we have plenty of blankets."
Man 3: "Where do we put her?" shoving Marguerite in Charles direction.
Charles: "Tie her to something so she doesn't try to escape."
Man 3: "OK lady, we'll put you over here."
The man took Marguerite to a tree and tied her hands up to it with thick ropes. She crouched down in a protective position so if Charles felt like hitting her he wouldn't hit the baby. She didn't know what she would do if she lost her baby again. John's and her baby. When everyone went in their tents she just sat there and prayed that Roxton and the others would come soon.
~~~~
Malone: "They have to stop sooner or later for the night."
Challenger: "If they did stop then the probably set up camp where they think we won't be able to find them."
Roxton: "But we can find them because of Marguerite's trail she made for us."
Veronica: "The trail is this way."
The four of them followed the path that Marguerite had made for them. They came to a large opening where they saw some tents nestled in the trees. Roxton looked around all over the place for Marguerite. Malone spotted her first, and showed Roxton where she was. John ran over to her and woke her up.
Roxton: "Marguerite, sweetheart, wake up."
Marguerite: "John! I knew you would come for me."
Roxton: "Are you hurt anywhere Marguerite?" he asked nervously, fearing that Charles hurt her or the baby.
Marguerite: "No."
Roxton untied her hands and helped her stand up. The others came over to Marguerite and were glad that she was ok. Veronica gave her a hug and Marguerite hugged her back.
Veronica: "I'm so glad your ok Marguerite."
Malone: "We were pretty worried about you. Ecspecially Roxton."
Marguerite went into Roxton's arms and he just held her. She didn't want to be without him ever again.
Challenger: "I suggest we leave now before they wake up."
Charles: "Too late, we're awake, and you're not going anywhere." he said as his men starting to circle around the explorers.
Roxton: "Just try and stop us." holding Marguerite against him.
Charles: "Ok"
Charles picked up his gun and aims it at Roxtons heart. Roxton pushes Marguerite behind him just as the gun goes off.
