Survival Island

Compromised

Naomi's POV:

I wasn't sure if I trusted these people to well with their quick changes in mind over who they want to be ruled by but I knew that I needed an army to help me get everyone back. All was silent as we continued our march through the woods, scared of being caught or of another patrol being out. I wasn't exactly sure of what my next move was going to be, which was why I was happy to have the silence and time to think.

I looked next to me and saw Liz's worried face and put my hand on her shoulder to assure her that Matt would be okay. "Those men killed Peter and Tiffany without batting an eye, what's so different about Jason and Matt?" She asked coldly as though she almost wanted to blame me for their capture but she knew better than to think that way. How was I supposed to know they would be caught, I was going to try and help them but they told me to stay up in the tree.

I felt guiltier thinking that she blamed me and if anything happened to them I knew I wouldn't forgive myself. We walked in two's along the shadows of the tree's, keeping an eye out for any sudden movement in the air or on the ground. The GPS on the men's watches were really weird with high tech navigational settings. We followed the map until we reached the last set of trees that would keep us well hidden just before the base.

"Alright, everyone gather round." I whispered and they all nodded before staying low and moving closer so I wouldn't have to talk to loud. "We must go in, in three groups. Me and Liz because we attacked the two guys that were together and so they will be expecting us two. There should be ten in two groups, that should be easy since your outfits differ with the lace of the shoes and so get into your groups when its time. We will take a five minute break to rest our feet but then we remeet in our groups to talk about strategy."

They all nodded and sat where they were to relax and Liz kept her eye on the door as though waiting for Matt to come out and run to her. As much as she likes to act tough and say that he isn't her boss or that she doesn't take orders from him, she is definitely love struck and worried for the boy. "We'll get then back in one piece Liz I promise." I said and she looked over at me a bit mad. "Don't make promises unless your one hundred percent sure you can keep them. How many people do you think we can get out one hundred percent in one piece?" She said the last part almost as if mimicking how I had said it.

"As many as I can, what's your sudden problem with me? Do you honestly think I would willingly let then die over me? I'd risk my life for all of them and its about time you cut this stupid attitude and focus on what's important." I glared and she looked at me as though I had just punched her back into reality. "I'm sorry Naomi I'm just worried for them is all." She said sheepishly and watched the door again without another word.

When the five minutes were up I knew I needed to make a plan and make one quick. "First, split up into the groups." I said hoping to buy a few more seconds since no one really had gotten into the groups the first time I mentioned it. Once everyone was as split up, we all huddled around once more in low positions to speak. All eyes waited for me to begin speaking and I honestly had no clue. "Alright you guys hon-" I was about to confess to not having a single idea of what we should do when one of the radios the men had been wearing went off.

Everyone got quiet and listened in, all eyes on me as though I knew they would all along they would contact the men. They all looked at me in awh as though I was the smartest person they knew, but I didn't want to be praised for a jinx and listened in. "Ferguson, Fletcher where the hell are you too?" Asked some lady over the radio and I nodded to them that it was okay for them to answer. The guy nodded his head to me before closing his eyes in fear and reopening them to speak.
