(i only own Alice)

Not Supposed To Be Here But Here Anyway

CHAPTER TWO

We were walking over this creek bed when Isabelle decided we should rest. Joe kept going.

She walked up to him, "Hey, we need to rest."

He glanced at her "So rest."

Jerk.

Isabelle kept talking, "You look like you could use it too."

But he kept walking away,

"You got a name?" finally Joe stopped and looked at her.

"Look, I'm sorry. You want to play scout leader? Great. You want to follow me? Fine. But I'm not doing this... I'm better on my own."

I squinted my eyes at him, "You sure about that?"

he gave me the finger and kept walking.

Looking into one of the puddles, I realized the sun hasn't moved since we got here.

"Hey GI Joe?" I asked walking over to him.

"What?" I grinned at him, "Don't you think it's odd that the sun hasn't moved since we got here?"

Isabelle looked at him, " What do you think is really going on?"

"What do I think?" he asks, and looks over at the Russian,

"Nokolai is Spetznatz Alpha Group," ah so that's his name.

He then looks over at the Latino, "Los Zetas Cartel Enforcer,"

Then he throws a look at Mombasa, "R.U.F. that's a death-squad from Sierra Leone," he points over to the Asian, Hanzo I think his name is, "Yakuza Inagawa-kai" whatever that is.

Then the prisoner, "FBI's most wanted" no wonder he freaked me out so much.

Joe then pointed to Edwin, "Him….he doesn't belong."

Then he pointed to me, "And you….what are you."

I grinned at him, "I'm a straight A student highest in all my classes from the lovely city of Miami Florida. What are you?"

Isabelle answered for me, "You know the jungle, all the players. I'm guessing Ex-Military, Black-Ops, probably Mercenary."

"I think we were chosen," I said thoughtfully, "for what though, I'm not sure."

"Either way," Joe said, "I'm going off on my own. Come with me if you like, if not stay here."

He then turned away, I couldn't help myself, "ooh big bad Ex-Military man going to go off on his own and he doesn't even know where he is or what he's up against if anything….smart.."

Joe glared at me, "You know what girl? If you got any better ideas let's here it,"

I shrugged, "Go to higher ground. Stay together."

He rolled his eyes, "Come on," He yelled to the others and we all started walking again.

The Latino came up to Isabelle while we walked, he grinned his yellow teeth showing "I thought bitches weren't allowed to be snipers."

Isabelle smirked at him "Is that why they didn't take you?"

The Latino scoffed "Ha-Ha-Ha... bitch."

We came to this wooded area when suddenly Mombasa tripped on a log busting it.

The prisoner made a sni remark at him just when I started to hear this sound of wood snapping.

Nokolai shouted "It's a Trap!" then this BIG log came flying at us Isabelle pushed me to the ground when it pasted then suddenly these little stakes like Buffy the vampire slayer's where hitting the ground.

Isabelle pulled me to my feet and told me to run.

Which I did, screaming the whole way; until I fell into a hole.

"AHHH!" I yelled as I fell into it, luckily there was nothing in it….I could hear yelling above me and heard Isabelle scream.

"Somebody help me!" I yelled, trying to grasp a hold of anything so I could climb but failing.

Then there was Mombasa,looking down at me, "Alice, give me your hand," he said as I jumped up to reach him.

After my fourth try he grabbed one of my hands and hauled me up really putting a strain on my shoulder.

"Come on," he said bringing me to my feet and trotting over to the others.

I came up to stand beside Isabelle who smiled at me then turned back to look at the dead man in front of us.

"This doesn't make since," I said looking closer at the man.

"If he had all these traps set up then why is it that we tripped them and not the person who killed him?"

Nikolai spoke up, "maybe the ones who killed him used a sniper,"

"Either way these traps weren't meant for us," Joe said.

"what do you mean?" the doctor asked.

"He was hunting something else. Something a lot bigger."

My brows furrowed, "Bigger?"

Joe looked at me and nodded, "The trunk was a deadfall. Rule of thumb with a deadfall is you set the weight five times that of the target animal. Whatever it was got through the trip wires. And did this." He said pointing to the corpse.

I started picking my lip in thought, "How very fascinating," I muttered staring at all the traps.

Joe started walking away, while the others followed, I stayed beside Isabelle as the prisoner asked "Hey, where are we going?" Joe looked back at him, "Someone put us on this rock. There's got to be a way off it."

Suddenly i heard this sound, like some type of electronic and everyone pulled out there weapons as I got behind Mambasa and Nikolai.

Remembering my blue backpack, I slipped it off and got it ready to sling at someone if I had to.

The prisoner only had a knife.

So he started cussing and complaining and the next thing I know is his knife is at Mombasa's throat but the barrel of Mambasa's gun is under the prisoners chin ready to kill by the pull of the trigger.

A frown appeared on my face before I quietly said, "let him be Mombasa….or kill him, but we have other things we have to worry about,"

Everyone looked at me but I paid them no mind, there was this thing running at us through some tall grass.

"Guys…um what's that?" I asked just when everyone pointed their guns at it.

The thing came out of the bushes and growled, it looked like a mix between a thing and a warthog combined with a bore hog….well whatever it was it didn't look friendly.

As it started running towards us everyone started shooting.

This thing took about a million rounds before it blew apart.

As more came I started backing away, looking for a tree I could climb.

Pulling the backpack on I found this sturdy looking tree with low enough branches and ran to it climbing as fast as I could.

I got up to the middle of the trunk and stopped, watching the things chase after the guys.

Isabelle was aiming at one going after the doctor and shot it dead on.

I pumped my fist in the air a little feeling proud of her.

I then saw another one of those things coming towards them and with a scream I told her to look out.

Isabelle turned and made the doc climb a tree while she turned and got ready to shoot the thing.

Just one problem, she had no bullets.

That was when I got sidetracked by two things coming to my tree, "Oh God," I whispered as I tried to stay still, hoping the things wouldn't see me and try to come up the tree.

They were just catching my snit when this loud shrill whistle sounded off through the trees making the things turn and run away.

Sighing in relief I watched the other guys meet together before I climbed down.

Running to them I came to stand beside Joe, "I'm alive!" I said dramatically even though i was scared shitless, earning an eye roll from the American.

The doctor spoke up "Excuse me. Just what the hell just happened?"

Joe answered, "We're being hunted. All of us. All were brought here for the same purpose. This planet is a game preserve. And we're the game. In case you didn't notice, we just got flushed out. They sent the dogs in, just like you if you were stalking boar or shooting quail. They split us apart and they watched. Testing us."

"How do you know this?" i asked.

"Because, that's what I would do."
