Chapter 9 An Adventure
Ten am the next day everyone headed off for their planes, the boys on the six person plane were quiet, while the girls talked until their plane seemed to shake in the air
"What was that?" Mariah asked
"Cant be good" Amy said
"May I have your attention" The pilot said "The plane will most likely crash"
Mariah looked at Hilary who sat next to her, then to Amy who was across the aisle
"What do we do" Mariah asked
Then they felt the plane start into a nose dive
"Everyone to the back of plane" Bryan said
Everyone did as he instructed and in seconds they felt the plane hit some trees below, Mariah slipped to the ground and with the plane tilted forward, Mariah started slipping Amy grabbed Mariah and then the plane hit something hard and stopped, everyone flew forward, Tala got to his feet and looked out the window
"Um guys were stuck in a tree" Tala said
"Then lets call for help" Amy said
"No time" Ray said "Everyone jump"
Everyone jumped out the one door and sure enough the plane exploded, they hit the ground pretty hard
"Everyone okay?" Amy asked
"I think so" Mariah and Hilary said
"Im fine" Tala said
"Im good" Ray said
And Bryan said nothing
"What a way to start the day" Mariah said
"Um guys im kind of hungry" Hilary said
"Now that you mention it I am too" Amy said
"Lets find food" Tala said
"How?" Ray asked
Wolborg stood beside Tala
"He'll find it for us" Tala said
And on that notion Wolborg ran off
"Let's find shelter" Ray said
Everyone walked for quite some time, the only way they knew it had been at least 2 hours was that Hilary started complaining and that started a long time ago
"I cant walk anymore" Hilary said
"Neither can I" Mariah said
Everyone stopped but Bryan who seemed to know there was something near
"Where are you going?" Ray asked
"There's a cave not far from here" Bryan said
"How do you know that?" Ray asked
And then Ray noticed Falborg flying not far from them, and sure enough it wasn't very far and only moments later Wolborg came back carrying a deer in his mouth
"Let's start a fire cook this and eat" Ray said
"I cant eat this" Mariah said
"Why not" Hilary asked
"Because I eat fish" Mariah said
"You can see that we don't have fish though" Amy said
"Well I can wait" Mariah said
That night was actually warm but dangerous with all the wild animals around
Meanwhile the others have been in their hotel forever waiting for the others to show up
"I wonder if their okay" Tyson said
"You think we should go look for them" Julie asked
"We have too" Max said
"Let's go" Kai said
The next morning everyone woke up to Wolborg bringing back another deer, and once again Mariah refused to eat, Bryan got to his feet even before eating and started walking out the door
"Where are you going?" Ray asked
"If she doesn't get food she could die" Bryan said
Once Bryan left Tala searched the cave they were in and found a small clear pool of water
"There's water here" Tala said "but no fish"
"Well at least we got water" Amy said
It took about forty minutes before Bryan could even see water, he ran down to the water and noticed they must have landed on an island but none the less he walked into the water and waited for a fish to carelessly swim by, he thrust his hand into the water so fast the fish had no time to respond he took a strong hold on it then threw it onto the beach and caught two more, after that little fishing experience he wrapped the fish in his jacket to mask the smell, when he got back the others were discussing what to do, Bryan set down his jacket and pulled out one of the fish, and handed it to Mariah who was all to happy to see the fish, Mariah actually ate two of the three fish and Bryan fed the last one to Falborg
"Thank you so much" Mariah said
Everyone watched as Mariah hugged Bryan, Tala couldn't help but let his mouth drop, Ray couldn't even look and Amy and Hilary looked at each other and both had a small smile
"You're… Welcome" Bryan said
Tala started choking on the water he was drinking and eventually spit it out
"Tala are you okay?" Amy asked
"Im fine" Tala managed to say
"Bryan can I talk to you?" Ray asked
"Sure" Bryan said
The two boys walked outside the cave
"What's with you?" Ray asked
Bryan actually looked confused
"You're not her friend so stop treating her so nicely" Ray said
Bryan chuckled
"What's funny?" Ray asked
"You're her friend and yet you were willing to let her starve just so you wouldn't have to go anywhere" Bryan said
"that's it" Ray said
The others decided to check up on them and say that Ray and Bryan had got into a fight everyone watched, Ray was fast and Bryan was strong, and even though Ray could get away easier, he was done the moment Bryan got a grip on him, Ray had jumped to avoid Bryan but to Ray's dismay Bryan had caught hold of Ray's foot, spun him in the air and dropped him to the ground, not gently either, Ray didn't recover before Bryan grabbed him again and this time gently dropped him to the ground inside the cave
"What happened?" Tala asked
"Ray should keep his comments to himself" Bryan said
"Ray did you start this fight?" Mariah asked
"No I would never" Ray said
Those few words caught Bryan's attention but he neither said nor did anything about it, Mariah walked toward Tala and Bryan, however Bryan walked away from her
"What is going on?" Mariah asked
"Bryan didn't start that fight" Tala said
"How can you tell?" Mariah asked
"Bryan may be anti-social and have reputation of being heartless but he doesn't lie" Tala said
"I cant believe the day started this way" Amy said
"I didn't start the fight" Ray said
"And why does that seem to be so hard to believe?" Hilary asked
"Hilary you know I would never lie to my friends" Ray said
"I know but you have been acting differently ever since the day Bryan saved Mariah" Hilary said
Ray looked away and saw Bryan sitting outside the cave and staring up at the sky, Mariah walked outside toward Bryan
"You okay?" she asked
Even when Bryan didn't answer, she didn't care so she continued to sit next him
"What does she see in him?" Ray asked
"I don't know" Hilary said
"Maybe she see's everything she needs" Tala said
"What would make you say that" Ray asked
"Maybe you should ask her then" Tala said
The four teens turned their attention back to their two friends, and for the rest of the day those two sat there in silence, Tala looked up to see the sun going down
"We need to find a way out of here" Tala said
"Wait what if there is something near the water" Amy said
"Okay tomorrow we go and look" Tala said
For some reason that night got really cold, Tala woke up to Amy who was shivering in her sleep, Tala looked at her and gently wrapped his arms around her to keep her warm
Megan and Mariam couldn't seem to fall asleep that night because they were so worried about their friends
"You girls need to get to sleep" Max said
"I know" they said and laid their heads down
Amy woke up to the warmest feeling she could imagine, she didn't want to open her eyes, but she knew that she couldn't lay there forever so she opened her eyes and saw orange and white she tried moving at first but felt a strong grip on her, she looked up and saw Tala's sleeping face, Amy let out a yawn and then placed her head under his chin and she realized he actually smelt great, then she felt him move and he slowly opened his eyes, Amy acted like she was sleeping, Tala started moving his arms but that also caused Amy to stir, so he stopped for the moment then continued to move when Tala pulled away from Amy, she opened her eyes and looked up at him
"Is it morning already" she asked
"Yup" Tala said
"Should we wake the others up?" Amy asked
Tala looked around and found that Mariah and Bryan had fallen asleep where they sat the day before
"How did they sleep like that?" Amy asked
"We may never know" Tala said "But on to other subjects we gotta get out of here"
Amy worked on waking up Ray and Hilary, while Tala walked over to Mariah and Bryan and to Tala surprise Bryan wasn't actually asleep
"Did you sleep at all?" Tala asked
"A little" Bryan said
"You were here all night" Tala said
"Well she fell asleep" Bryan said "And after what happened I didn't want to wake her"
"How thoughtful of you" Tala said
Bryan sighed
"Are we ready to go?" Tala asked
"Falborg should be back soon to tell us where to go" Bryan said
"Do you always think then act on your own" Tala asked
"Pretty much" Bryan said
Mariah opened her eyes and looked at the two boys
"Did it get cold last night?" Mariah asked
"A little" Tala said
Amy, Hilary and Ray walked out of the cave
"Where are we headed?" Ray asked
Ray was calm till he saw that Mariah had her head on Bryan's shoulder
"Wait for it" Bryan said
"Wait for what?" Ray asked
With that Falborg landed next to them 'We have to go north' Falborg said
"We're going north" Bryan said
"Let's hurry" Tala said
Tala got on Wolborg, Ray got on Driger, Bryan on Falborg, Mariah on Galux, Amy and Hilary on Shadow and the took off northward
"Kai seems really stressed" Ian said
"Yeah but why" Tyson asked
Then Kai left
"Hey Kai where are you gong" Max asked
Kai didn't answer but moments later Dranzer was at the window
"Are you guys coming or not?" Kai asked
The others smiled, and got on Dranzer
"How do we know where to go?" Tyson asked
"We retrace the planes track" Kai said
The others came to what look to be an ocean
"Are we going to have to swim?" Hilary asked
"No" Tala said "We'll have three people on Falborg and three on Wolborg"
Amy sat behind Tala and Ray behind Amy, leaving Mariah and Hilary on Falborg with Bryan, Mariah sat behind Bryan and Hilary behind Mariah, Wolborg barked happily and jumped into the ocean, causing the three on him to get wet
"Wolborg" Tala said
'Sorry' Wolborg said
