Jackson reached into the tent, searching furiously for the only thing he'd ever held close, a wooden club. It had taken nearly two month, ever since the crash, but he had finally crafted the thick stick into something that resembled a club. He'd estimated five, maybe six tribes men, none armed with anything. They were skinny, wearing scanty clothes and bone jewlery. Bones from animals - or other things - they killed.
Jackson didn't slow down to think because somewhere deep in the folds of his mind he knew that hesitation would ultimately be his demise. He lunged forward, ramming into the closest tribes man. When the tribes man went down he roughly grabbed Melissa to her feet. "Get the others out of her." She hesitated. He shoot her. "Hesitation kills," he shouted. He turned her and shoved her gently. "Please, run." This seemed to do the trick because Melissa took off running toward Daley and Nathan who were in a struggle with another tribesman. Jackson grinned grimly as Melissa knocked the tribes man down and the three took off running. Jackson gave a shout as his ankle was seized and he was pulled to the ground.
Jackson kicked out hard, catching the man in the chin and scrambled quickly to his feet. He took off sprinted a few feet forward, where two tribesmen had Taylor on the ground and another two had Eric pinned. Jack lifted his club and swung hard at one of the tribesmen holding Taylor. He fell harmlessly off of Taylor, the other tribesman turning just in time for Jackson to hit him square in the face with his club.
The tribesmen holding Eric released him and charged at Jackson. Jackson managed to dodge one but the other caught him and tackled him straight to the the ground. Eric didn't stay around for the aftermath, heading for the forest, picking Lex up on the way but Taylor seemed to hesitate. "Go," Jackson grunted, attempting to buck one of the three tribesmen off of him. After a moment of deliberation Taylor obeyed him and sprinted after Eric.
Pain exploded in Jackson's chest and then blossomed as punches rained down on him. Eventually his struggling became frutil and the pain became too overwhelming. And then everything faded to black.
