Bab 3: Journey Day (3)
Me and Asher walk together deeper into the now noisy crowd of kids. There seems to be around 200 kids here. We all immerse into a blob of chatting kids, anxious to form a group of people who we like and will be most useful for the next 4 years.
Making sure not to lose each other, me and Asher locked arms when searching since we're being tugged at from all sides. In the crowd I notice a pair of twins holding each other looking frightened of the mass of people. I lead me and Asher over to them.
"Them?" He whispers in my ear. "They don't look very capable, might get blown over. Plus if they're frightened now what will happen when we face real dangers during Journey." He becomes nervous with my choice with valid points, but I give him a quick pleading look. They need a group and we need people. I don't want to have them be split up to be put into group.
He sighs. We make our way over. The both catch eyes with us. The one on the left speaks immediately.
"If you plan on splitting us up you'll have to find someone else." She says.
"We would like to form a group with both of you in it." I tell her.
At the same time, both of the smile.
"Thank you!" They say in unison.
"Is it just the two of you?" The girl on the right asks.
"Yes, we met earlier." Asher told her. "Why don't you two go hold a spot at a plane for us ok?"
The girl on the left finally let the tension in her body relax, they could finally leave this mosh pit.
The two left the crowd and people and got the closest plane they could find and stood in front of it.
Me and Asher linked up again to search for three more people. I looked at the wall where the screen was. "7:28" it read. We needed to speed this up. Asher began to tug me to the left, letting me assume he had someone in mind. Traveling to the side, not knowing where I was going, my survival bag caught to someone else's, causing me to jerk right, letting go of Asher. Me and the other person had to stop for a moment to unhook our bags. Letting loose of the snatch, I look up. It was a girl, around 5'3ft. She has brown hair that was darker than mine. It was cut to her shoulders with loose front hairs tide back in a half up half down look. She was tan with a few freckles on both cheeks. She had honey colored eyes as well and a sweet smile. She had a strong build like me as well. She's perfect for our group.
"Man I'm sorry for wasting your time." She said
"Oh don't worry about it, actually, have you found a group yet?" I ask her.
"No. If I could join you that would be great! I'm Bella."
She reached out her hand and shook mine.
"Of course you can join. I'm Cleo. I already got a pair of twins to join me, and I just lost track of our other member named Asher when our bags got caught to each other."
"Oh man I'm so sorry, let me help you find him."
We put our bags back on and start searching through the crowd yelling Asher over and over. The screen above read "3:12". I began to panic a little bit.
"The twins are at a plane for us, let's just go over there and wait with them, Asher will come to the plane after the time is up and hopefully he will have more people with him." I tell Bella.
She nods in agreement. Together we link arms and force our way through the crowd. I see the twins at the plane and direct Bella that way. Walking over I finally got to size up the twins looks since before they were huddled together. About 5,5 each, they had blonde hair pulled up into tight buns, dark blue eyes, thin lips and slightly sunken cheeks. They both were flat upstairs and downstairs and thin through their whole bodies. Did they have malnutrition problems growing up? They set their survival packs down in front of them that looked twice their weight. This is going to be a problem.
The time on the screen has reached zero, and flashes red.
"All groups please make you way inside of a plane. They will automatically close doors in 4 minutes and depart."
Oh goodness where is Asher and how are we going to fill the empty spots? We'll definitely struggle more than the other groups if we don't have enough people. What if he got three people since he doesn't know about Bella? What if we have too many? Will we be able to go?
During my little melt down, the twins get into the plane as well as Bella.
"ASHER!!" I yell in the now thinning crowd. As of from a movie scene, the crowd parts and there Asher is with 2 people following him.
Relieved for only i moment, I look up horrified when the screen reads now ":47".
I don't think they'll make it.
