Chapter 8

The day for ther search group seemed to go fast. They walked threw miles of jungle. All nervous, but excited for the sun to set. Abby was leading them as they passed streams, rocks, and mountains and lots of trees. It was all beautiful. Her expression the entire face said deterrmined and indepentet. The sun finally started to go down, so the travelers stopped for the night.

They got ready to eat. All was quiet. After diner Abby grabbed her stuff and went to sleep on the beach by a patch of trees.

"Do we leave the tent Chief? whispered Eric.

"No we pack it, I'll do it. Remeber we wait till 1 ish." stated Jackson. in a very low voice to Eric and also to Melissa who was there as we'll.

"I'm scared." whispered Mel to her two friends.

"We all are, Mel." whispered Jackson and Eric nodded his head.

There packs were set, Eric packed some food and water bottles. and stuff they needed, but they made sure Abby had stuff to search and survive as well with. Everyone was ready. They watched Abby she made a small fire for herself. At around 11 she put the fire out. and went to sleep, they hoped she was.

The tree waited in the tent. They were all laying down to be safe. They all sat therewide awake, too scared to sleep. They were all looking at each other. Then Jackson finally looked at his watch once more looked up at his friends and said:

"It's time."

Jackson, Eric, and Melissa walked quietly out of the tent. Jackson and Eric packed up the tent. There sleeping bags were already in there bags. Melissa snuck like 10 tampons, just in case they were here for another month. When they were all packed and ready Jackson gave them a hand movment that meant "Lets go". They started walking Jackson was leading, followed by Melissa and then Eric.

Eric then suddnely heard something behind him and froze. "Jackson! Mel!" screamed Eric. Jackson and Melissa quickly turned aaround and saw Abby standing a few feet away from Eric.

"I have good hearing." she said as she held the knife.

"I told you to stay." yelled Abby.

"I guess I'm just going to have to hurt Eric. she said as she walked slowly up to Eric.

"Eric run!" screamed Melissa in tears.

"God Damn'it Eric run!" called Jackson.

Eric was frozen in fear. Jackson then bolted towards Abby the knife flew onto the ground and Abby fell as well. The knife slid like 5 feet away. Jackson began pushing Abby to the ground. "Jackson!" screamed Eric as he ran towards Abby who was now on top of Jackson. Eric tried pulling Abby off of hem. Abby punched Jackson in the face. Shethen quickly grabbed the knife and pushed Eric to ground. "Say goodbye." smirked Abby as she slowly pushed the knife towards his neck.

Melissa was in tears, she panacked found a stick and hit Abby in the back of the head. Abby fell to the ground. Melissa then grabbed the knife, helped Eric up. Jackson was getting up now. The tree ran. Leaving Abby on the ground. Melissa ran ahead folloed by Eric and then Jackson. They ran and ran until they new they were far enoff away.

The three stopped to rest, they were all out of breath. Melissa stopped and put her hand on her mouth and cried, she then sat on the dirt and cried. Jackosn arrived 2 seconds later. Followed by Eric.

"Oh Mel." said jackson as he knelt beside her and hugged her.

"Shhh, Shhh it's over it's ok." whispered Jackson as he held her in his arms.

"Where's Eric?" asked Melissa as she stood up moments later.

"Over here Mel." said Eric as he waved his hand.

"Oh Eric, thank god." cried Melissa as she ran up to hem and hugged hem. Eric began to cry because he was so scared. Jackson walked over and hugged them as we'll.

The three wiped there tears away about 10 minutes later.

"Mel, you ok?" asked Jackson.

"That was the scariest thing." said melissa.

"Mel, you saved my life, again." said Eric.

Melissa hugged Eric once again.

"So chief what do we do?" asked Eric.
