Colors ~ Volume 1

Season 1, Episode 20: The Converging Chase

However—before I could even say a word—Maurice asked before anything,

"Whoa is that a gun?! How did you injure your hand? Did you have a gun with you the whole ti—" Steve shut her mouth before I could yell at her. I stated,

"Okay, I know this is going to sound crazy but hear me out, as I was taking a piss in the trees. I saw a big figure right? So I went to go investigate it and it started to hunt me.."

"Uh, what's your point exactly here George? You have a gun. Maybe you were trying to kill that figure." Robert responded, interrupting me.

"SHH! I'm trying to give some background," I exclaimed. I was getting impatient.

"Just get to the point George, I surprisingly don't have all day," Emily said sarcastically.

"Same here!" Fron said.

"FINE! I got trapped by Ethan, y'know, the Redwood's heir to the throne. I broke myself free and ran back here." I said.

"Hmm, I don't believe you. I mean, that just sounds crazy." Angel replied. She was eating a packet of gummy worms.

"Well if y'all would just let me explain what happened then it would make sense!" I exclaimed.

"Alright, so taking this for granted with a full dump truck of salt, that means 'Ethan' is hunting us down, but for what?" Fron responded.

"Why did you say 'Ethan' like that!? He said that he was looking for the factory himself too and tried to force me to say the location of it by trapping me with a rope. He was being protected by two soldiers and I grabbed one of their guns!" I stated, holding up the rifle.

"Crap, if he's looking for the factory himself then there's a limited amount of time to find it. We gotta hurry it up." Aquafene said.

"Hold up. You said a rope?" Robert asked me.

"The same kind of rope we saw at that fire huh..." Emily inquired. I seriously didn't see the point in accusing me of starting a fire, so I just exclaimed quickly,

"YES! Yes alright, I started that fire! I tried to burn a piece of paper I found and put it on the rope but that's when I realized it was inflammable. I tossed the paper aside when Ethan looked right at me. You guys would've done the same thing if you were in my shoes!"

"Yeah, but we're not. Are we?" Emily asked.

"Oh, would you stop being such a smartass Emily! Let's start to pack up, we have to hurry before Ethan finds the factory like Aquafene said, oh I don't know, thirty seconds ago!"

So we began packing our things and head out for the factory once more. Steve put out the fire by blowing and stomping the fire with his hiking boots.

"Are you gonna carry that gun with you?" Angel asked me while I stood up. I looked at my bandaged right hand that still stung from the medical alcohol but I stated,

"Nah. Jack is gonna carry it with him, it seems like he's very keen on guns." I said, handing the gun to Jack. He looked at it with excitement and aimed at one of the trees.

"Be careful. We might need one of those bullets just in case we encounter anything else." I said, thinking about those animals I freed from my dreams was the first danger I thought of in my mind.

Apart from Ethan and his two soldiers of course.

As we walked, we all took turns walking behind each other's back and looking around, making sure no one was sneaking up on us, especially Ethan and his soldiers.

We made steady haste as we jogged our way to the factory due to our new presence of danger. Time passed quickly and soon enough it had been a full hour after we had first entered Colganla. I wasn't going to make it to my home by after dinner.
