Chapter 17 Debate

When they all gathered near a strange looking place. This place made them remember the existence of a group of people who had previously met them. This time Marchell tried to stay calm and seemed to be thinking. While beside him Aaron looked worried and couldn't stop biting his finger. Seeing Aaron who was constantly like that, instantly made Selena who was in front of him continue to stare at him as if getting annoyed with what he was doing. Moments later, Ethan realized something and then made them wonder. Marchell who also saw it, immediately said something to him right then and there. Their gazes looked quite serious and couldn't take their eyes off them.
"Is there something?"
"I just don't think this is right," said Ethan, looking confused.
"What do you mean it's not true?" said Aaron who suddenly joined in asking while looking at him seriously.
"We can't go back."
“Oh my, are there words that are so much better than that?”
“Never mind Aaron, what he said was true. We really can't go back at this time,” said Marchell, who tried to explain the situation.
"So, what's your plan?" Selena asked the three of them.
"We're just standing still," said Aaron
"Not. I think we have to find a way out."
"How to?"
“Did you guys forget about Joe and Arnette? We'd better find them," Selena said slightly annoyed.
"Oh, you're right. Damn I almost forgot about them.”
"By the way, where are we now?"
"Do not ask. I don't know."
"How long are we going to run away for?"
"Until we find them both."
“Wait a minute, how about we rest for a bit? Damn my leg hurts so bad," said Aaron, who looked in pain.
"Okay. Let's just rest here."
"Hey, Serena. Why have you been looking back all the time? Is there something?" Marchell asked.
"I think someone's been watching us all this time. But, I didn't see it."
"Really?"
"Yes. I can feel it."
"Hey, are you an indigo? How can you feel the presence of other people? Is that for real?”
"Maybe it's just your hunch," said Marchell trying to calm the atmosphere.
In contrast to the two of them who continued to talk, Ethan was only silent listening to their chatter at this time. The atmosphere of the forest which is fairly quiet makes those who have been talking sound so loud. The leaves that move in the wind create a very natural sound typical of nature. Those who were sitting now thinking how to find the two of them looked very uneasy. Looking at the gloomy sight of everything, Ethan tried to say something to them calmly.
“You really regret coming to this island?”
"Yes. I'm sorry," said Aaron. Her face shows it all too.
"Why are you suddenly asking that?" said Marchell
"I'm just asking. It turned out that way.”
"Then, you alone?"
"I don't regret this at all. Really."
"Hah? You are crazy? how could that be? Those freaks almost killed us and you just said that. I have no idea.”
While Aaron looked angry, Selena and Marchell looked calm and they were both still listening to their conversation which was like an argument. The atmosphere could no longer calm down, some of them started to get annoyed and complained that they wanted to go home. While everyone was in a state of despair, Marchell suddenly remembered something and tried to tell them.
“Hey, you guys really going to give up just like that?”
"What can we do anyway?" ask Aaron
"You have a plan?" said Ethan
"Yes."
"What?"
Marchell then said something to all of them. Selena also listened to his conversation and seemed to be paying close attention. When it was over, Aaron immediately said his opinion and it was for them to keep his cool.
"Are you serious? What kind of idea is that? what exactly do you want?”
"It's just a trick."
“Trick? Gosh, you want to kill us all?”
"Not. You misunderstood, that's not what I meant. And again this is the only way. Do you agree?” Marchell said while looking at Ethan and Selena.
"That may sound crazy, but I agree," said Selena
"What?"
"No other way. Do you want us all to be stuck here forever? No isn't it? So, we should use all means to escape from here, one of them is with that plan.”
"Wow, it turns out you're the same."
"If you don't agree. Do you have any other plans?” Selena asked as she looked at Aaron and then made Aaron pause for a moment.
"Not. I don't have any plans. But, I don't want to have to deal with death."
"It will not happen. You don't have to be afraid, we can't possibly let any of us die."
"Right. That's not going to happen," said Marchell
"Good. Keep your promise."
"Okay."
"Then we agree with this?"
"Yes."
"Of course."
Meanwhile, elsewhere. Joe's attempts to stop Arnette are futile. He was now silent as he took a deep breath and followed the girl away. Settlements that are in the forest on this island, do look very isolated from the crowd. Some of the residents who lived here seemed to be at home and it didn't scare Arnette at all this time. Seeing his friend who had begun to be almost affected, now Joe said something to him.
“How long are we going to be in this terrible place? You're going to take that thing?"
“Wait a little longer. I have to make sure.”
"What do you think? We'd better go while they're not watching us. What's there to wait for?”
"God, you're so loud. I told you there was something to check.”
"Don't be rash."
"I know."
When the two of them were talking, suddenly one of them came over and it made them both fell silent immediately. The person then sat right in front of the two of them and seemed to want to start a conversation. The look on Arnette's face that looked like she was being threatened made Joe very worried.
"Oh, sorry. Is there something you want to say sir?” said Joe in a tone that was still afraid. The person immediately looked at him and said something.
"Your friend is quite friendly."
"What?"
"You've seen it haven't you? In that place."
"Ah, I don't understand what you mean."
"Impossible. Do you know why we saved you guys?”
"Eh?"
The two of them looked at each other as if they didn't understand what the man in front of them had just said. While sitting down, apparently the man started to say something to the two of them and it left both of them very shocked and almost speechless.
