-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jackson ran outside of the tent to find Eric sitting down. His eyes with tears and he was shaky. So far only 4 people knew Eric was alive. Eric, ACE, Jackson, and GOD. Who of course Eric was praying to for help.
Jackson quickly ran over to Eric helping him up from his seat. Jackson doesn't really know why but he gave Eric a small hug and started to cry.
It actually seemed that Eric was being more brave than Jackson.Jackson let go of his grip on Eric and wiped away the tears from his own eyes. Neither of them spoke.
But then Eric quietly said."I wanna go home..."
"I know."Jackson said."So do I. Eric, what happened?"
"Im not gonna say anything. Almost saying something is what caused that in the first place. But it was scary, that is all I can say."
Jackson totally understood. Its like he had known the whole story.But what happened is he over heard ACE talking to him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the tent, everyone was histarical. Melissa figured Jackson left because he couldn't stand it anymore.Maybe he was so sad he needed to go for a walk? She slwoly crawled out of the tent leaving everybody else inside still weeping.
Melissa wiped her tears and walked over to Jackson.He was sitting down quielty. But then she saw somebody else. It was Eric!
She started run toward him.She pulled him up and hugged him.Then she cried tears of joy.
"Your okay!" She yelled jumping up and down."Are you okay?"She asked after seeing his frightened face. But he ended up giving out a small smile.
She smiled back and hugged him again.
"Im so happy your not dead! Everybody thought something horrible hapened when we all heard that noise from the gun.And when you didn't come back, we all couldn't help but cry. What happened?"
"He can't say"Jackson said for Eric."End of story. Just tell everybody to stop crying and tell them its okay.He's alive."
Melissa ran into the tent with a smile.Everbody stared at her like she was crazy to be happy at times like this.
"Melissa! How can you be happy at this moment? Eric's dead and were all next!"The thought of him being gone made Taylor even more sad.
"No, im happy because..hes not dead."She said quietly.
Everybody stopped crying and looked at her.
Daley said,"You serious?"
"Why would I lie about that?" She slowly walked out of the tent and started to run back to Eric for another hug.
Everyone scrambled out the tent after her to greet Eric.
Taylor and Eric's eyes met. She ran faster than anybody and hugged him so tight he couldn't breath.She couldn't breath either. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and started crying in his shoulders."Im so glad your here.I wouldn't have made it without you."She whispered in his ears.She didn't want to let him go but she did so everybody could see him.
Daley also ran to him and hugged him.
Lex hugge him.
Nathan patted his back then decided to give him a hug.
They all were there, together.Maybe they would make it.

NEXT MORNING
Eric woke up early that morning.
He seemed to be the only one awake, so he quietly got out of bed and stepped outside. The sun shone bright and it hurt his eyes. He rubbed his eyes until they turned red.
The only other person out their was ACE but he was far on the other side of camp. Eric could barely see him but he knew he was there.It seemed like ACE knew he was there too.ACE started to walk to camp where Eric was."Morning Eric. "
Eric only pretened to be happy."Yeah "
ACE let out a laugh..."How'd ya sleep?"
"Why do you care?"
"Are you talking back to me?"
Eric didn't seem as scared..he didn't know why.He always stood up to his parents, teachers, the princpiple.But this was different...he was dealing with ACE.
"No sir...sorry."
"Thats more like it...do me a favor...go bring me a banana."
Eric walks over the food bin and picks out a banana for him.He brings it back and he snatches it from Eric hand quickly.
He never even said thanks. Then Jackson woke up and came out.
"Hey Eric, and ACE."Trying to be respectful to him.
"Oh if it isn't Jackson..."ACE says."What a surprise.."
Jackson had a seat cautiosuly next to Eric. Eric handed him a bottle of water."Thanks."
Eric nodds.
ACE-"So Eric and Jackson...hmmm..what to do with you boys? Oh I know..."
Jackson asks"What?"
ACE laughs and pats both boys on the back"Oh im just messing with ya guys.I love that look on your faces."
Jackson smirks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LATER THAT DAY...
The kids were kind of getting out of hand, so it felt like it to ACE.
Taylor gave him a papaya because there wasn't anymore bananas, because ACE had finshed them all. He hated papayas.
Melissa gave him warm water, though she couldn't really do anything about it.
And that seemed like a huge problem though it wasn't much.ACE is the kind of guy who likes things done for him right the first because thats the only time you get. Now the kids were getting on his nerves. He had to stop this.
ACE sat looking at all the kids. Then he says"Oh...Eric. Come here please"
Eric slowly gets up and walks across to ACE. He shakes a little, and the others shake as well.Then ACE tries to whisper"What did I say? I told you to make your friends behave."
"T-They are b-behaving." Eric answers quietly.The others watch.
"No they're not. They keep messing up everything. Get this straight, what did I say?"
"You s-said, it was my job to make them do things right."
"Yeah and you failed to do that. What does that mean?"
Eric answers slowly and sadly."Something bad's gonna happen?" Eric looks down glumly.
ACE laughs. He twirls Eric around so he faces the kids and he pulls out his gun. He carefully points the gun toward Eric and grabs him closer.
It hostage time!
