Chapter 18 Looking for a Way Out

One day before. Once they were all chased by a group of strangely dressed people in a forest. The three of them look desperate because they have to be faced with a tragedy that makes them all dragged into it. Marchell who doesn't know what to do anymore and now he and his friends are in danger. Those people seemed to make a sacrifice using humans as the medium. As long as those who witnessed it directly, of course, frightened them all. In an escape that was so confusing, until now they were near the abyss. The choice between life and death is now in their hands.
"Jesus, this is bad," said Marchell
"Not. I don't want to end up here."
"There must be another way. There must be."
"That chasm is deep."
“Damn, those people are getting closer. What should we do?"
They look panicked and don't know what else to do. Not long after, Marchell saw a gap in which there were bushes and at that moment he dragged his friends towards there to hide. Once those people searched for them, apparently by holding their breath in unison and not making any sound, they managed to hide and not be caught. After the people left them, and it felt safe, everyone started to come out of hiding and was about to leave.
"That was close."
"I really feel lucky."
"Not. It's too late. We'd better get home from this strange island,” said Aaron, feeling uncomfortable.
"I agree."
"But, where are the two of them?"
"Ah, we have to find them first before we can leave."
"The question is where are we now?" said Ethan
"Well, we're lost."
"Irritating. It's bad luck again."
"Stop complaining let's go."
“How not to complain? This is really annoying.”
"Oh yeah guys, aren't you guys aware of something?"
"What do you mean Serena?"
“Those guys, they seem to be wearing strange things like necklaces but they look foreign.”
"You even noticed something like that?"
"I don't see and I don't care."
"I don't think they're random people."
"So what? don't tell me you're going to say that they're from a bunch of freaks?"
"Wait, take your words back."
"What?"
"That's possible, isn't it?"
"Guys, this is bad."
“Good grief, dead end.”
They came to an area where there was no other way to go. Seeing that, they all felt disappointed before finally returning to the path they had previously walked. An erratic journey with a lot of mysteries lurking around them, now it's like daily food. Aaron who was starting to feel hungry, now he was looking for some berries that might be edible. The misfortune that befell them is not a mere coincidence. Selena, who didn't stop, continued to look around. His face that showed an expression full of vigilance made some of his other friends continue to wonder. This time they saw a river rushing right near them. The river looks clear. Even though there was a lot of fog today blocking the view, Ethan tried to look around what he thought was safe for now.
"Wow, the river."
“I don't know how big this island is? but seeing so many plants and even lakes and rivers is amazing,” said Marchell
"I feel insecure after all."
"Yeah, it's not just you pal."
"I'm afraid to die here."
"Please don't think something terrible like that."
"I don't think we're going to die that easily."
“How can you be so sure Selena?” ask Aaron
"I'm just speculating. Do you want to go too fast?”
"Of course not. Honestly, I don't want to experience anything horrible."
"Don't you guys feel something strange all this time?" ask Ethan
"Strange?"
"What are you talking about now?"
"Yeah, I feel it," said Selena
"What?"
"There's something bothering me."
"What's that? oh no, don't say something scary?”
"I think we were invited here. It's not just by chance going on vacation."
"Invited? Seriously?"
"Jesus, this is just getting more and more complicated."
Those who heard what Selena said, instantly fell silent. Not long after, suddenly heard the sound of the bushes moving as if someone was coming. Quickly, they all went into hiding. They hid behind a large bush around the river. While looking towards the place where they heard the voice. From behind the bushes, it was true, someone had come. The person was dressed strangely and looked like someone who was looking for something. His gaze that could not let go of what he was looking for. Aaron who almost made a sound was then immediately silenced by Ethan. After a few minutes, the person then left the area somewhere after being seen carrying water. Slowly, they all came out of hiding and tried to resume their search. Unconsciously, the sun was starting to set. Selena, who looked up at the sky for a moment, then said something that surprised them.
"Very beautiful. I don't want to miss something this rare."
"Hah? What did you say?" ask Aaron
"That's enough. Let's go," said Marchell
"I'm tired, how about resting first."
"Good idea. Let's find a decent place to rest."
"How could there be such a place in the depths of this terrible forest."
"I hope there is."
"Come on, what do you expect?"
They returned to the depths of the island's jungle. Surprisingly, they had never met any wild animals or anything like that. Selena, who was still looking up at the sky, suddenly remembered something. Previously when she opened a book belonging to her mother, Selena found a hidden meaning behind the expression of twilight. That's what made him now continue to look up at the sky as if he was thinking about something. Not long after, they arrived at a location that is considered to be a cave that is not scary. The cave was quite small and they all entered the place.
“Wow, this is like going back to prehistoric times,” Aaron said loudly.
"At least this won't turn us into carnivorous food," said Marchell
"Hey, this isn't bad."
"What's not bad? This place is dark.”
"No one carries a flashlight apparently."
"What?"
"Come on. We won't be here forever. So take it easy.”
"At times like this you can still say that?"
"Come on, don't fight," said Selena
The dark atmosphere in the cave forced them to endure for a while. The sky which had now started to turn dark for a moment made them silent.
