Pochahontas' POV

I stopped running and leaned up against a tree. I heard talking behind me.

I turned around and saw the Careers conversing about something. Among them was Kocuom. He was supposed to be my ally.

"Pocha is strong. We should definitely get rid of her." He said to the others. My eyes grew wide. The boy with ginger hair turned his head and locked his eyes with mine. He raised a finger to point at me.

I turned and ran.

How could he do that? If he didn't want to align with me then why did he? Just so he could betray me? It didn't seem right.

I kept running. I wouldn't stop. I couldn't let them catch me.

I was almost out of the forest when a tall boy with long blond hair stepped in my way, a long knife in his hand.

I stopped and turned around.

He chased after me.

Was he part of the careers?

Then, I came to a dead end.

I stopped and turned around.

He pounced on me and pinned my arms down with his knees, the knife up to my throat.

I looked into his blue eyes. I saw fear.

He kept his knife at my throat.

I turned my head away. I didn't want to watch him do it.

Then, he pulled the knife off my throat.

Hercules's POV

"Meg? Are you awake?" I peeked through the small opening in the log.

She opened her eyes and a look of fear spread across her face.

"What the heck! Hercules, let me out!"

She started banging on the small log.

"Only if you will stay with us." I said.

She pushed her face up to the hole.

"Let me out." She said through clenched teeth. Even angry she was beautiful.

"Meg, you have to promise-"

"I don't have to promise you anything! You kidnapped me!"

"I saved you. Mulan was going to kill you."

"I don't need help!" She banged the log. "Now let me out!"

I rolled the log over and she fell back and thumped on the back of the log.

I took out the small chunk we used to close off the log.

She crawled out and got up.

Then she slapped me.

"Never do that again." She pushed my chest and walked away.

Naveen's POV

"Come on, Tia, don't leave me here!"

"Take a knife. You can defend yourself. I won't be gone long. Somebody has to find food." She turned around and walked away.

"Let me go with you!" I was so scared. I almost peed when the tube started rising, now I was here and felt like crapping.

"Naveen, we found water. We can have anybody take it." We had found a small creek that ran around our small camp.
