"Do you think we should just stop here and make a house?" Jackson sat down with a long sigh, "We've gotta be miles away from them by now." Jamie fell face first into the hard dirt of exhaustion. Olivia just sat down beside him and extended out her legs. Jennifer leaned Justin up against a log and sat on it. Jackson stood their, awaiting his answer. "Yeah, I guess." Jennifer got up and put her hand on Jackson's shoulder, " Just give us like- an hour or so to rest."
"Alright, you four can rest. But I'm going to start." Jackson said, taking out his wrench. He approached a tree and looked at the blunt object. Blue pixelated particles formed around it and engulfed the wrench to form an axe. He took a swing at the tree and watched it fall over after three hits with the axe. Jackson began cutting up the tree into rods and made a tent out of stick and took the leaves from the tree to make a comfortable place inside and a roof.
"I just made a tent. I have no clue how to make a house." Jackson rubbed the back of his neck. Jennifer patted Jackson on the back, "Good job, Kiddo." The tent was surprisingly big and the entire group huddled inside with quite a bit of space left in there. Everything was fine until, it started raining. Jackson crawled forward to peek out of the tent and looked up to the blackend sky. A raindrop fell right onto the bridge of his nose, "It's raining."
A nearby Rogue ran by and Jackson stopped it, "Why are you running?" The Rogue trembled, "There are approximately 3967 different timelines with thos exact same storm and in all of those timelines, everything is destroyed." Olivia looked up at the Rogue, "A storm?" The Rogue kept running. "W-Wait- Ugh. Come on, everyone. We're chasing a Prototype." The Rogue clearly acted way different from the rest. It spoke for itself, and it clearly had emotion. Most prototypes speak in an annoying monotone voice that made you fall asleep.
Jackson ran after it, leaving the others behind. "Jackson! Wait!-" Jamie called for him, but he was long gone. The rain made it hard to see. As soon as the group got up, Wind picked up and the tent collapsed. The group attempted to continue on but bronze-coloured lightning struck a nearby tree. It was set ablaze and fell over, making it hard to get to Jackson.
To Be Continued.
