Chapter 16 Still Alive

Day 9 on an uninhabited island to be precise in the southern continent. Joe, who was with his friend Arnette, looked confused about what happened to them all. The two who are currently in an unknown location are in a poor condition. The eyes that seemed to have run out of hope made them both look even more pathetic. When the two were sitting lamenting their fate, suddenly a child who looked the same age as the two of them, came over carrying water in a container. The boy then gave the water to both of them. Arnette, who couldn't hide her fear, just looked at the boy with wary eyes. Meanwhile, Joe immediately accepted it and it immediately took Arnette by surprise.
"What are you doing?" said Arnette in a low voice to Joe who was beside her.
"Come on. It's just plain water. Besides, we could die of thirst."
"You are crazy? what if it's been poisoned? We could die."
"Never mind, we should be grateful for being alive until now."
“Gosh, did you hit your head? How can you think like that at a time like this? Wow, this just gives me a headache."
The boy continued to look at the two of them with a friendly look. However, Arnette was still acting wary and that forced Joe to pretend to be friendly to the boy to dispel suspicions. As long as the two of them were stuck in this place, the two of them couldn't think straight anymore and were now looking at each other with worrying looks. Here, Arnette is still thinking about her other friends who separated from the two of them and don't know where she is now. After the three of them fell silent and finally Joe started the conversation even though he looked still cautious.
"Ah. I'm sorry why are we both here? What happened?" said Joe who innocently asked like that to the child in front of him.
"You are seen lying somewhere," said the child casually.
"What? serious?"
"Right. Looks like you don't remember anything. but, luckily still alive.”
"Ah, then thank you. But, why help us?”
"Just coincidence."
Arnette was still looking at the two of them in disbelief. Now his mind was filled with the cruel things that were likely to happen to the two of them. As Joe continued to talk to the boy, Arnette suddenly saw something that caught his attention. Behind a room door that looked like there was something shiny and it made his eyes unable to take his eyes off of it. Not long after, Joe who saw Arnette immediately asked him innocently.
"Arnette. What are you doing?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
Arnette who looked like she was hiding something then sat back down and listened to the two of them talk. Unconsciously, it was already approaching noon. The sun shining on this place made Arnette instantly feel hot and indeed the weather was very hot too. Earlier, the child who was currently with them then told them something and in that instant made Arnette a little angry.
"What are you saying? Impossible!" said Arnette who immediately raised her voice. Joe tried to keep him calm and it worked with a bit of a hassle.
"Come on. You calm down a bit."
"Not. There's no way that would happen."
Arnette, who kept crying and couldn't stop, made the two of them who were with her confused about what to do. Their condition, which until now was uncertain, only made the situation worse. Joe who is still thinking of leaving there and looking for other friends but that hasn't found a way to go yet. Right now, right in front of his eyes was a child who had been talking to him for a while and looked like he was watching the two of them. Not long after, the boy was called by someone so that made him get out of there and leave Joe and Arnette. As soon as he saw the child was gone, Joe immediately told Arnette to stop crying and plan something.
"Are you sure about this?" said Arnette, still doubting Joe's opinion.
"Do you really want to stay stuck in this place?"
“No,” said Arnette, shaking her head.
"Yes, this is our chance."
The two of them then slipped away from one of the forest dwellers' residences and were now heading west. Even though they live in the jungles of this island, they don't look like primitive outback people at all and also use a common language. As they were on their way to leave, Arnette apparently remembered something and made her pause for a moment. Joe who saw it like that, then said something to Arnette.
"You're going to stop there?"
"I remember something."
"What is it this time?"
"You know there was a door in that place?"
"Yes. Then?"
“Behind that door, something sparkled. Maybe it's a treasure. I caught a glimpse of it.”
"So, what's the problem? You want us to go back and steal it?”
"Not. That is not what I mean."
"So what?"
The two of them stared at each other and at the same time, this time in a different place. Apparently Marchell and Aaron had woken up from their stupor. As soon as they realized, they were both shocked by the place that was now in front of their eyes. Instantly his face filled with fear and then saw his hands that could still be moved as well as his heart that was still beating. Meanwhile, Aaron who then woke up, at that moment his face was very surprised and then said something.
"Are we still alive? Wow, this is a miracle," said Arron with a look that seemed full of happiness.
"Don't be happy just yet, indeed we are still alive but we don't know what will happen next."
“Gosh, you don't have to scare me like that. by the way, hey Ethan, Selena. Are you all right?” asked Aaron looking worriedly at the two of them who were currently still trying to wake up.
"I'm fine," said Selena
"There's nothing to worry about," Ethan said casually as usual.
"Wait, where is this place?"
"I was just about to say. It seems we always have bad luck. Is this a punishment for always lying to the family?”
"What are you talking about? it has nothing to do with us now.”
"Hey, you three," Selena said, looking at them all.
"What is it?"
"We'd better get going."
"There is something? Hey, say it"
"Someone's watching us."
"What?"
They then left from there and are now heading towards the southeast. While on the way, apparently Marchell couldn't keep his guard up and was currently still observing the surroundings. The trees and leaves look green along with the silence that surrounds them. It was like being in another dimension.
