a BIG thank you to all my reviewers! :D
(I own Alice and her trippingness)
Not Supposed To Be Here But Here Anyway
CHAPTER THREE
Night had just fallen, and we sat up a perimeter and had three watches while the rest of us slept.
The Latino was dead; Isabelle told me someone set him up to trap us using a recording of his voice. Whoever we were dealing with was badass.
Joe wanted to follow the thing's that attacked us track's…which we were doing until nightfall came upon us.
I lay down next to Isabelle, pulling out a grey sweat shirt and putting it over my white T-shirt, I sat down my back pack to use as a pillow.
Lying back, I told Isabelle, "Wake me if something happens," then I fell asleep.
***************t
I awoke to someone shaking me awake, "Alice," it was Isabelle.
"What is it?"
"Something's wrong," I set up to find it was still pretty dark.
I looked around, making out the shapes of the others, Hanzo, the Prisoner and Nikolai were supposed to be keeping watch right now.
Which they were, but something seemed off, the air was too tense, and like right before a storm…something was going to happen.
I could feel it.
Joe sat up, on full alert along with Mombasa, I started picking my lip nervously as I got on my haunches ready to run if I had to.
The jungle was silent, not one creature making a sound.
Then there was this sound of something charging, like a generator? And this blue light flashed.
Joe pushed me down, "Get down!" he shouted as this blue light came and hit the prisoner in the chest, killing him.
Nikolai started shooting blindly in the direction the blue light came from.
We could here something moving through the trees and Isabelle jerked me to my feet.
"Run!" she yelled and I took off, running as fast as I could.
I could hear her running behind me followed by a few others. I heard this other sound though, different from earlier, it was fast, sounding like a rattle snake.
I ran faster, hearing it come closer…that's when I tripped.
I fell hard, my hands scraped from the bark of a tree.
I panicked as I heard the thing coming closer hearing a hiss from it.
"Ahhh!" I screamed when it leapt for me, but instead it stopped, falling mid air to the ground.
Joe came up and took my hand, pulling me up.
"You okay?" he asked, I muttered a yeah, I noticed by this time the sky had turned lighter and I could see better, looking down at the thing, I almost gagged, it smelled like rotting corpses.
"Ew," I whispered taking a step back from it.
Joe told me to get going and I followed him to the others.
Mombassa, Hanzo along with Nikolai the doctor and Isabelle had survived the attack but not the prisoner.
Not that I liked him that much anyway. As morning arose we continued to walk, watching for anything suspious.
Around mid day I figure we came across this camp like structure.
To say I wanted to be there was a full out lie, there were dead things hanging from tree limbs and skins stretched out.
Blood was everywhere.
"Guys?" I asked as we walked, "do you think it's a good idea to be in this-whoa!"
I stared at this thing tied to a pole, it's dreadlock hair hanging over it's face, it looked reptilian by the skin texture but it also had a human body structure….just a lot bigger.
"What. IS. That?" I whispered as Nikolai walked up to it attempting to see if it was dead when it jumped at us….well more like lunged…with it's head.
I yelped, jumping back, it's face was quite….interesting to say the least, being it had mandibles like a crabs leg, sunk in dark grey eyes…similar to my own in fact. Its mouth looked dangerous and defiantly alien.
It hissed at us, like it was almost trying to warn us….or telling us to go away…or both.
Anyway, the thing clicked and growled.
"Joe…I think we should leave," I said turning around to look at him, but he wasn't there.
"Joe?" Mambosa spoke, fear in his eyes, "It's here," then before I could even blink, a spear of some sort rammed up through his chest cavity.
I screamed, while the others started shooting. Turning around I started running.
As I went past the alien, I almost felt sorry for it as it tried to break loose. I would have set it free but…I had to get out of there.
Suddenly, I tripped!...again.
Getting to my feet, pain laced through my ankle. Moving slower this time, I kept going, running through trees and vines. In my haste I fell again in this mud pond/puddle thing.
"Agh! I hate my clumsiness." I mumbled when I noticed something….I was sinking.
"Ahhh shit! Shit!" I said to my self trying to crawl out of the mud, I did a little, but I was still sinking.
I clawed at towards the hard ground, almost in a panic, what if I couldn't get out? What if something came and ate me? What if I died?
"No Alice! Stop thinking that way, you can get out of this!" I convinced myself, getting closer to the hard steady ground, I was still sinking, but I was also getting closer to land!
Finally, my hand touched down on hard ground and I clawed at it, using all the strength I had to pull myself up.
Once I was fully out of the mud I collapsed gasping, totally covered in mud, out in the middle of the jungle, now all by myself, while being hunted by these…things.
Yep my life officially sucked now.
