She just sighed. "Hey, listen. We need to be strong. We need to get out of here, okay? "
I nodded.
"Alright, so calm down because we still have to figure out how to get out of this freaking place," she advised.
"Do you understand me?"
She held my hand.
That's when I realized.
That's right.
We need to stabilize, because otherwise we really can't get stuck in it. We have to try to find a way out of this hellish jungle.
We need to move.
We need to keep moving.
We need to get out of here if we still love our lives.
I let out a heavy sigh. "Let's go."
Lily hugged me and continued looking for a possible way. We still have to find Macey and Miss Aya. If I'm not mistaken, the two seem to be in danger.
I was worried about them both. Especially since they're just the two of them together now and we're just not sure what happened, so that's how the child screamed and cried.
I should not be discouraged.
Gradually, the cries we heard faded.
I was even more nervous.
It was also getting dark, so we had a hard time finding a safe way. I can't take out my cellphone because I also don't know where it is.
"Move faster, I'm starting to worry about them." Lily trembled.
"So do i." I responded.
Despite my aching wounds, I struggled to speed up my steps. I was nervous. In a few moments, Macey's accented screams completely disappeared.
The last thing we heard was them calling each other's names.
Lily and I stopped when we felt a presence again, followed by a demonic laugh.
We looked at each other and cursed at the same time.
"Shit!"
"Fuck!"
I sped away. Lily followed me.
They might be in danger! Damn it!" I shuddered.
"That way!" Lily pointed. I followed the direction he pointed out. I'm very tired but I try to speed up my movements so that somehow we can reach the two.
When we reached their place, we only found Miss Aya. She was just standing and crying.
I could feel the presence of the shadow chasing us lately, but it suddenly disappeared after a while.
Its presence is recurring.
I rolled my eyes to look for Macey, but I could no longer find him.
What the hell happened?
AYA
I woke up with a heavy feeling. I was lying on the ground and I could feel its coldness.
I opened my eyes. The atmosphere is dark.
I am very weak.
I could barely move my legs and arms because of the weakness caused by fatigue. I scratched my head. My vein is already throbbing there.
In the morning, I turned around to look for Macey.
I can't find her.
She was nowhere else I turned.
I just cried when I remembered what had happened to him a while ago.
I did nothing to help him. I did nothing to save him from that quagmire. If I hadn't been so weak, it might not have happened to him.
I sobbed quietly when I felt that presence again.
Here he is again.
Anger flared up in my heart.
