Stranded

Chapter 3

'Jessica!' With a fake smile I ran (more  like speed walking really) towards her. 'You're alive'.

She pushed me away.

I pouted. 'I'm really glad you're alive'.

'No you ain't'.

I sighed. 'I don't like you but it don't mean I want you dead'.

Ciara came to my side. Before she could say anything to Jessica, she scrowled and turned away. Clara hûffed, crossing her arms over her chest.

I looked at them for a long time. So big, I thought.

Clara snapped her fingers in front of me, bringing me back to reality. 'What you staring at?'

I poked her right boob. 'They're so soft'

She slapped my hand away. Dean showed up carrying three bottles of water.

'Let's go and join the others'. He passed the two bottles to us.

Silently we left the spot. I saw Cassandra at my right. Blood caked the left side of her hair. Her head was covered in à bandage. The others didn't look so great either.

'Did anyone try the radio'

'It's usless now' Dylan said. He had a bandage over his right eye. It made me think of a pirate.

'Lets split up and look for anything useful' Cassandra said.

After that we took off.

'Anything', I said for the umpteenth time. Ciara looked close to snapping.

'No' She gritted her teeth.

'Anything yet?'

She slapped me. I whined and she slapped me again.

'It's just been five minutes', Jessica said. 'Quit repeating things'.

I leaned on a tree behind me. I was already exhausted. I wanted to stay in one place, not look where to step next so I don't trip on a branch. Some of the trees had fruits. Dean being the fittest one out of all four of us, climbed up to pluck them.

'I'm tired'.

'Already?'

'I'm wounded'

They all shook their heads and ignored me. Jessica took a step forward and the ground beneath her gave way. She screamed and disappeared from our sight.

'That's a pretty big fall' Ciara said, standing near the hole.

'Think she'll be ok?' I asked

She shrugged in return. 'Depends on how she laňded.

'I say we leave her'

'What if she's hurt'.

I shrugged in response. 'Sucks to be her'

Dean wholeheartedly ignored us and went after her. We reluctantly follow.

The place reminded me of Indiana Jones. A sound of an arrow whizzed by and before it could lodge between my eyes, Dean caught it. I was awe struck. Who knew he was a badass.

'Wicked reflexs', I said. He just smiled.

'How were you able to do that?' Ciara asked.

'Reasons', he replied.

What kind of an answer is that?

He went up to Jessica and picked her up. She rubbed her butt and thanked him. There was a certain look in her eyes. I had to stop thinking before pervy thoughts came to mind.

'What is this place', Jessica said.

'Beats me'

I took a step. I triped over a thin wire. We could feel the ground shake.

'What did you do!' Ciara exclaimed.

'How should I know!' I waved my hands in panic.

A huge thud was heard. We looked behind us to see a gigantic rock hearding towards.

What the fuck?
