Chapter fifty one
Song recommendation : Tally by blackpink
Lost.
"Where are we going now ?? Huh? " Emily spoke after some minutes have passed from the shameful reminder that she was the one that drag them into the situation .
But what else could she do?
Micheal kept quiet and took the stick in his hand to separate the leaves that covered the path.
Emily wanted to badly bit him on the neck , that she glanced up at since she couldn't reach his eye level .
"Won't you talk ? " She drew her eyes together and sighed.
Fine he could keep pretending to be deaf , she'll just have to shut her mouth. She stomped her foot on the ground . Hmmph
"Do I look like George of the jungle to you,? Well in case you might think I'm George of the jungle or perhaps you might think I studied geography in school . " He burst out laughing at the last sentence .
Emily glared at him , pouted and pretended not to hear what he said .
Shouldn't he know more about things like forest and path and mountain since he's rich ? She was almost sure that he have gone to all the part of the world .
Man was a billionaire for a reason ! What's the use of his money and his annoyingly handsome face if he didn't know the way out ? Tsk .
"I can totally see it in your eyes and your big forehead . You're planning to throw me off the cliff as soon as we've found the way out . " Micheal said in an amused tone but all of a sudden , he concentrated on a thick mass of leaves and dump that looked to be some years old .
"That is if we found the way out . " Emily said under her breath . She finished flicking the leaves and sighed perhaps for the millionth time today . It's been four hours or more now since they've been roaming inside the forest trying to find their way out
"We'll survive but we may die . "
"We'll die but we may never survive ."
"We'll survive but we may die ."
"We'll die but we may never survive . "
Bollocks ! There are no more leaves. That means they'll die and some vultures that have been hungry since century ago and their bald head more balder with the weather and climate has effect them to no return , would made a feast of out their carcasses .
But she'll reincarnate into a vengeful ghost and kill the vultures while still looking for a way out . Then she'll refuse to die because she was very sad . And then God will be very merciful and send her back to earth and she'll love happily ever after .
She was so lost in her nonsensical thought and theories that she didn't notice the firm hold on her wrist was now very loose and Micheal was doing something .
His head was mostly invisible between the huge pile of leaves and all the rubbish present .
"I need help . " He said in a muffled voice
"You need help ?? " She asked again but since he's not replying again she quickly stood behind him
"Dig in . " He said to her and without wasting time she did as she was told . Digging out the dirt and in return getting it smeared all over her . What the heck had they gotten themselves into ? Or rather what the fuck as she gotten them into ?
Phew
*********†******†****
"Do you think we should keep going ?? " Mera breath out the words . Tires is am understatement for what she was feeling now . A mixture of almost mad and fatally hungry would be it .
"We'll have to keep looking, who knows we might be the one to find the opening . " Gabriel who sat on a stone said . Mera leaned her back to the rough bark of a large tree and was internally praying that nothing venomous would be residing there .
The both sighed and Mera brought out her water bottle whose content was almost finish .
They stared at each other not knowing what else to do or say .
"I wouldn't mind if I could find some food right now . Or if some food could find me . " Mera said again breaking the silence
"How would food find you ?? " Gabriel asked
"Of course food can't walk or fly unless by a miracle occur . Which of course is also not possible . So rounding up the whole thing . It is not possible . "
A tiny movement alerted her and she moved swiftly away from there . She quickly eyed the whole tree trying to look for the thing that was causing the movement
"Did something happen?? " Gabriel also stood up from where he sat .
"I don't know . But I felt something moving again. Ahhhhhhhh this is it for us . " Mera smiled widely at Gabriel making Gabriel grow suspicious .
"What is it for us ?? Babe , talk to me " Gabriel stood up getting a bit panicky .
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. There it is .!!! "She let out a scream that could wake all the sleeping beast .

"Where ? Huh ? What? " Gabriel moved back
Mera burst out into a fit of laughter, laughing so hard that the tears stream down her eyes ,she held her stomach with her hand as she groan in an amused manner
"Babe , you are a scaredy cat !! A scaredy cat!! " Mera said again .
"I'm not scared . Can't you see that this place is spooky ? "
Both laughed and sighed . This is getting tired .
. .
*******†*********†*****†
The forest had gotten more sense and she could barely see . Now she was getting disturbed and confused .
Why must she be the only one without a partner ?? Micheal didn't even bat an eye when he suggested that they all go separate ways to find the leading path .
The cobwebs and the stinky smell coming from where she did not even know came surrounding her . She stomped her foot on the ground , what the fuck had she gotten herself into ?? She could swear a hundred times that she wouldn't ever try this type of thing .
She sighed and couldn't even dare sit down , deciding to put a stop to the futile and draining search to turn around and go back to the place that they've all agreed to meet .
After all if one couldn't keep going at least one could turn back . Because that was what the situation was needful . She was all but stick and sweaty with all her hairs scattered all over her face and mouth . Even her stomach joining the croaking frogs and cricket in making sound . It rumble and puffed .
She was sure that it would at least be more than three or four hours since they've been on this never ending search of something that's may have been lost for a thousand years or more ago .
She couldn't help but say "fuck Emily !! " So lucky .
At least Emily was with someone now , while she was here rotting away . Amidst the frogs and only God knows what animals and insect were waiting for her to just drop.down dead . She seriously wished she could but the thought of what she came to do ,
She suddenly slipped on one of the creepers and fell into what seems like a pit . Worse still she couldn't shout , could she ?? .
Plants and thorns that looked scary surrounded the pit that she wouldn't dare to as much as move her neck .
Thankfully she wasn't much hurt from falling into the pit .
Not that the pit was very deep but just that the thorns "wait ? Nestle??? " She covered her mouth in Suprise . She so much wanted to scream !!
Nestle ?? Just a touch could cause her to scratch her skin off . Now she was well and truly doomed .
She couldn't even attempt to get out of the pit ? Apart from the thorns and the scary plant that seems less scary now , there was the Nestle !! Noooooo!
But how could her life turn like this overnight ? She sniffed and let the tears rolled down freely all the way to her mouth , tasting the salty liquid .
She couldn't dare move her hand to clean them from the fear of touching one of the Nestle that was scattered all over the place .
And then !!!! .
She wailed , sobbing and sniffing . She was in a big soft of shit right now .
************†*******
"We found it !! " Emily exclaimed excitedly .
They were covered in mud , leaves and dirt . But all that didn't matter , couldn't matter at this point . They've been digging since Micheal found something weird with how the leaves were shaped .
Emily was doing a quick prayer in her mind that ,even if they wouldn't find the road , they wouldn't bring another problem on their heads by waking one monstrous beast that may or may not live in the den of dirt that they were digging out .
And finally they got to the end of it and met good news . Her stomach rejoiced by making loud rumbling sound ,and guess what ? She wasn't even embarrassed or ashamed .
No , she was too hungry and tired to think about something simple as that . Even if they found the path to the mountain , which it looked like they already did , she wasn't sure that she could walk again . Not until she had something else to eat . She has finished her bottle of water and of course Micheal's own too .
Tedious? Tiring ? Those were too amiable words to express her feeling. She was overwhelmed,disturbed , hungry , perplexed , angry , sad and was having a stomachache .
If there's a single word that could express or what she had just listed , then that is what exactly she was feeling .
Micheal at least was faring better than her . He was still looking cool with his shirt ripped and his pants too . He rolled his chest up revealing his sting veiny hands that have been put to adequate use to last him a week at least, today .
His hair was dirty with bit of leaves and whatever stuck in it but yeah he still looked cool . He looked like the male lead in a zombie movie that had just fought with a herd of zombies and was looking for a way out with his lovers . They both were trying to look for the cure to the apocalypse of zombies that had occured unexpectedly .
That was just how their situation could be simplified . How it could told in a simple form
"Are you tired ?? " Micheal dropped the quick makeshift arrow in his hand and moved closer to Emily .
"Yes. Yeah . Of course and why not ? You don't expect me to be tired ?? (*A small laugh *) if you must know I'm a human being !! With flesh and blood ! How can you still be sane in this condition? Because it was clear as a daylight that I'm going to run mad . " Emily paced around him in circles as she talked .
"Good you have the strength to rant . Save it . Now let's get the others . " He held her wrist and took a bunch of flowers , if the prickly thing could be called one . In his bag and was throwing it on the floor to serve as a guide .
Emily was marking the dark ground by drawing circles around the way .
They have to take every precautions that is available .
They couldn't afford to make another mistake ,else she'll die as she as already predicted .
Now to the other problem at hand ,. How in the seven fucks are they going to find the rest ?? Like where are they going to find them ?
