Oh crap I think to myself. The others are still asleep so I try to be quiet as I look at the srange people who are pointing their spears at us. Kayla is the next one to wake up. Screaming. The others wake up in such a rush that Hunter gets a small cut across his cheek from the spear in his face. The other natives take us roughly by the arms and tie our wrists together with coarse rope. Tony limps forward slowly, and I assume it's from the pain in his ankle. So I go up to him after the person holding my ropes eventually just lets me walk on my own without him holding on to the ropes and help him walk as best as I can with my hands bound. He mouths thank you to me and we walk in silence till we come to the middle of a small village with tiny huts all around. Just then, an animal that looked suspiciously like a fictional minotaur bursts out of the woods. It has horns and hooves. But those aren't real right? I only have a second to process it before Hunter was pulling me behind him. I look around and I can't seem to find Kayla or Tony. I look around and see them huddled in the corner of a hut just to our right.I pull Hunter in that direction. We all group together in the corner of the hut when we see all of the villagers start to fight back. They have large sharpened spears in their hands and they start to jab at the monster. The minotaur seems to fall back after about an hour of intense fighting. After the monster had been pushed back, we took it as our chance to escape.
We make a break for it into the surrounding forest. After we run for about an hour, we stop in a little clearing that looks like it was burned down. As a group, we decide that because of the threat of monsters and natives, we had to have someone on guard at all times. The others look exhausted from all the walking and running we did, so I said I would take the first watch. I was around for hours into my watch and it was about one a.m. according to Kayla's phone well that's in Earth time. I have no idea where we are so I guess it doesn't really matter now does it? Around three a.m. I start to get tired so go and wake up Hunter. I tell him to take the phone and wake up Kayla at 6. We have to stay where we are so Tony 's ankle can get better, but if we stay here we're pretty much just sitting ducks in a pond. When I finally fall asleep, I have a dream that I think is real life back on Earth. I see all four of our families in the waiting room in a hospital. They all look incredibly worried so I walk up to the front desk where they have the chart of who's in what room. I find my name on the list and see that they have all four of us in one room. I see that we all look very pale and sickly. I walk out of the room and go check if our families are okay. I notice them looking a little bit more happy as the doctor tells them that we are going to be okay, but he still hasn't found out why we are all sick with the same exact conditions. Then I am jerked awake by a sudden pain in my fingers. I look around and see Hunter standing on my hand with his giant hunting boots. I punch his leg as hard as I can to get him off my fingers. He jumps away and almost lands on the sleeping Tony. I rub my fingers to get the feeling back them and glare at Hunter. He mouths that he was sorry and hands me a handful of blackberries. I ask him where he found them and he pionts at a bush just a few feet ahead of my head. I pop one into my mouth and find that it is surprisingly juicy. We talk until the others wake up. Then as a group, we decide what to do next.
