A girl runs straight, she is heading to a brawly man, someone clearly very strong.
He was working on what is clearly a makeshift flint knife, a lot of debris surrounded him, each a failure, a vein indicating stress was prudent on his forehead.
She stops infront of him, not noticing his stress at all.
"Mr.Adam, do you know when sir Leon will be back?" She asks with puppy eyes, both her hands behind her back.
He looks at her with a gentle and warm smile, he then sighs and shakes his head.
"Not the clue missy, I am busy right now, I am sure one of the others must have an idea". He says with a small laugh, she aided in elevating most of his stress.
"Dummy!" She stomps her feet calling him a dummy, she adheres to his advise and goes to ask the others.
He lets out a long laugh, he too has been worried for Leon.
The girls heads to the boy, he was playing with bugs.
Noticing that she was walking his way, the young boy Jack blushes, he quickly throws the bug he was playing with to the side.
"Hey!, did you ask for anything from Leon before he left?" Ashley shouts, she had determined stare, clearly not leaving till her questions are answered.
The boy, blushes. He tries to answer but keeps stuttering and stumbling his words.
"Uhhh". Escaped his mouth.
Ashley placed her hand on her hip.
"Could you speak properly please". She rolled her eyes in annoyance , she wanted to show Leon the new flower she had found hidden behind a tree stump, it is different and most definitely the most unique one she has found.
Having never spoken to a girl before, Jack was still stumbling, having not spoken much after recuperating his mental strength his actions were now more him.
He breaths, thinking to himself about how he needs to eliminate the thoughts of nervousness, it took him a good moment but Ashley waited.
"Are you going to say anything, you are worse than my younger brother". She rubs her forehead with irritation, she clearly has a violent side.
"I..I didn't, no one did, he left to check traps and collect water". Jack says scratching his head.
The girl leaves the moment he answers, worried about Leon.
Jack leans his head down in disappointment and shame.
"We aren't allowed to leave this area without an adult watching over us too, maybe we can ask one of them to take us to the pond".
Jack says with some hope, even though he showcases worry.
Ashley thinks for a moment with a slight smirk appearing on her face, she runs to Jack.
"Yes!, you are right, we can go there ourselves". Her voice vibrates in excitement.
Jack, now finding backbone asks why she needs to find Leon, she tells him.
"Hmm, can you show me, since we can't find Leon just yet". He blushes with shyness, even with the found backbone it was embarrassing for him to ask this.
"No!" She blatantly states, she looks at him with even more annoyance, she had just started to get more comfortable with him.
"Hmm, I can show you, only if we go to the pond." She says with a sinister grin.
"I don't know where it is, so jack, you'll have to show me". She stares into his eyes.
"Uhhh, uhh". Jack not wanting to be manipulated but still falling for it was about to say yes.
"Hmm, I can take you there". Dale says with a haughty laugh.
-
'Water, water'. Leon's legs shake, his clothes torn and ankles cut, his major injures had somehow healed, the minor ones remained.
He continued to walk until the environment around him somehow changes, feeling delirium he himself doesn't notice this, he was now in a savanna.
He continued to walk.
Bah*
He bashed himself against a rhino.
"Gahh, fuck". His voice hoars and dry, his words were barley understandable.
Having fallen to his bottom, he chooses to focus his mind, wanting to understand where he is.
He closes his eyes and slowly breaths, resting his exhausted body, he has now been gone for 3 nights, walking without stop, only times he had stopped were when he physically had to sleep.
What he is doing is dumb without thought, but like Renared and Adam had said he believes this to be an afterlife.
"Haha, fuck". The rhino and its small herd had ran off into the distance.
"I am now in a sarvana, how is this possible?" He questions his surroundings, knowing well that something like this is nigh impossible, an instant change in his environmental elements.
'Like a fucking video game'. He looks behind himself, he sees the lush green forest, he pivots back to a frontal direction, he sees the plain drought filled Savana.
Its yellowish grass spread to the horizon, the breathing of air and smell of the surroundings was much more different and fluent.
He looked around noticing only small amounts of trees around him, he notes the fact he can use them as landmarks, thanks to the severe scarcity of them, knowing he should continue forward,
A driving force forces him to step without doubt.
His body matches the saturated and burned grass, the new landscape on his feet felt much better, the thorny and foliage filled forest floor had punished him lots, the new ground was amazing.
He has now walked for 20 minutes within the new biome, right ahead of him as was now a house, his eyes flash the thankfulness envelops him.
He falls to his knees.
'Civilisation!, it's really civilisation.' He weeps, even though mysteriously his wounds had healed, he has not drank for almost 3 days or eaten, he can feel and think nothing but content.
"Thank you, thank you, God!" His hoarse voice says aloud, he walks to a bush near the house, they were growing berries.
He hides within this bush, not sure if danger might lurk ahead.
He peers his eyes around, he sees a grown man, around 30 pulling weeds, close to the man was a axe.
'He's massive, berries'. While's observing the man, he had spot a ripe berry, his hunger and thirst betrayed him, his belly rumbles and his throat aches.
'Fuck' he watch's the man, he didn't hear him.
'Close'. He breaths a sigh of relief, he looks around more.
Closer to the house a women was playing with children, the moment his gaze landed on the children, the musclular man flinched.
He looked directly at Leon.
'I am caught' having been caught seconds after thinking he wasn't he leaves the bush with panic in his heart.
'I am fucking dead, oh I hate my life'. He steps out the bush acccepting his incoming fate with his hands up.
