Chapter 19 Keep Escape

That night, just when everyone was about to rest. Someone who then looks watching from behind the trees that are around there. Not long after, Aaron who was aware of someone's presence woke him up and then intended to check the surroundings. Not long after, he saw a strangely dressed man along with several other people discussing something while gathering. Aaron, who was peeking at them, slowly moved to tell the others. However, when he was about to leave, he accidentally stepped on one of the branches, making a sound. The people quickly turned to the direction of the voice and were about to check something. Aaron who was around the place almost got caught.
'Unlucky. Why all of a sudden,' Aaron muttered to himself.
A few moments later, the person who was seen checking in the direction where Aaron was peeking earlier and found no one. Not long after that the person returned with his group and continued their conversation. Aaron, who was still not far from there and was holding his breath, then ran to where his friends were. When he got there, he woke everyone up and immediately told him to leave. Marchell who saw Aaron looking panicked could only stare at him with a confused look.
"What is it?"
"Come on, we have to get out of here."
"Go? Where to?"
"Where have you been."
"But it's still night. It's very dark outside."
"That's true, but there's no other way."
"What happened?" said Ethan who then woke up and was followed by Selena. Now they were all awake and listening to Aaron's conversation.
“We have to get out of here immediately. Those people… they are around here no I mean not far from here.”
"What?"
"No kidding? Were you out?" ask Ethan
"Yes. I saw someone lurking around here so I was curious and took a look.”
"This is terrible."
“What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Selena.
"Wait a minute. where are we going? There is no place here. It's useless, even if going out there will only bring danger," said Marchell
"But, if you just sit around hoping for help, it's also useless."
They then immediately fell silent when they heard what Selena just said. Confusion slowly accompanies them. Not long after, Aaron decided to leave and as soon as he saw Aaron leave, Selena followed him until they both left together. Dark night. Even though it was a moonlit night, it felt really terrible. The four children walked slowly along the island area. Those who had been running away from those people for a long time now only had to wait for their fate. After finishing walking. At last they came right by a hill and sat there looking up at the night sky.
“Hey, this is really sad,” said Ethan
"Noisy. There's nothing we can do but keep running away," said Aaron
“I wonder, why are we so unlucky?”
"Questions that will never find an answer."
"By the way, won't anyone be looking for us?" ask Marchell
"I guess it's impossible."
"Who knows."
"I don't want to die in this place."
"Who really wants to die here?"
"Are we cursed?"
"Hah? Do not talk nonsense."
"Hey, look. The moon is beautiful.”
"Yes you're right."
Meanwhile, this time in a different place. Precisely in a city that is none other than the residence of Uncle Joe. The uncle was seen relaxing while watching his favorite television program. Suddenly, someone contacted him and that person was none other than the port side.
"Hello?"
"Sorry sir, I've been calling you at night."
"Yes? Is there anything I can help? Who was this with before?”
"I'm one of the coast guards."
"Ah, I remember you're Peter?"
"That's right sir."
“By the way, what made you contact me?”
“This is…”
Peter then told his uncle Joe what he wanted to say. His face, which had previously looked happy, suddenly turned flat. Without further ado, he immediately turned off the call and rushed off to a place. The long night has now passed, it doesn't feel like the sun has started to rise. The four children then opened their eyes and saw the very beautiful light of the morning sun right in front of their eyes. Aaron couldn't stop being amazed by it and continued to stare at him with an extraordinary look.
"Wow, it's already morning," said Marchell casually. Meanwhile, Selena was awake and looking at the morning sun.
"Now it's time to go," said Selena
"Hey, wait a minute. this fast?" said Marchell
"Shouldn't we find Arnette and Joe?"
“Oh, that's right. But wait a moment."
“Fine, but we can't continue to linger here. Those strange people could come at any time. It would be very dangerous.”
"I know."
"Hey, can't you see?" said Ethan while pointing to the southeast
"What?"
"Looks like we're stuck in the fog."
"Hah? I don't care," Aaron said
“Guys, I'm sorry I said this. But don't let one of us die."
"What are you talking about? of course that won't happen. Besides, I don't want to die before I feel like I'm an adult."
“Wow, well, don't talk about something terrible like that please,” said Aaron
"I'm just trying to say what's in my head."
"I understand."
"Let's go."
Without further ado, they finally left. The journey is erratic and they don't even know where to go. Now all they have in mind is looking for the whereabouts of their two separated friends. This time in the area where Joe and Arnette are. The two of them are dealing with the inhabitants of the remote island. After listening to everything said by the person in front of him, Joe then fell silent while still thinking how to get out of there and find his other friends. Arnette, who couldn't hide her fear, was now silent as she looked at her fingers and continued like that.
“Now is the time,” said the man
"Wait a minute, what does that mean?" ask Arnette
"It's time to get active."
"Oh, sorry."
Joe, who was still with Arnette, looked resigned and just sat there. The people then went to a hall and there they were seen gathering. Joe and Arnette were indeed captives and were only allowed to sit in one of the meeting places there. Suddenly Arnette whispered to Joe.
“There will be no chance of escape,” whispered Arnette
"I know."
“Then, how is this? I don't want to rot here."
"Calm down."
While they were whispering, suddenly one of them came and was seen carrying something.
