On Their Own

The People of The Forest

I opened my eyes and saw Scott laying beside me.  We were being dragged by mysterious figures.  I can't quite see the people who were dragging Scott and I.  My vision was blurry and I went unconscious.  I try to open my eyes but, it was hopeless.  My eye lids where heavy like rocks.  "Where......am...I" I said to myself in a weak voice.  I looked to my right and see Scott laying beside me, I look on my left and see bottles of liquid.  I was too weak to stand or talk.  The same mysterious figure walked into a leafy door and gave me something that was green and watery.  I had no choice but to drink it.  I turned and saw the mysterious figure giving the same green and watery liquid.  Scott drank it all in less then 1 second.  I knew that the only thing that I can do is rest.  I awoke by the sound of loud sounds and laughter .  I saw Scott was gone.  "Are they COOKING Scott?!?!" I said to myself loudly.  Not a second later, I grabbed a long stick and charged out of the grassy doors.  A bright light shined into my eyes and couldn't see a thing.  The light stopped shining and I found myself in the middle of a camp and Scott sitting on a log eating some food.  Nobody saw me because they were to busy laughing  and dancing.  "Oh, you are awake ". I turned around and saw a man.  He wore a feather hat and some furry clothing.  "Who are you" I asked the man.   "I am Bob, the leader of these loyal people.  Scoot, tell this boy what is happening" Bob said to Scott.  "For the 5th time, my name is Scott, not Scoot".  "Scott, you have a lot of explaining to do" I said. "You know when we jumped in the water that we used to get off, well.....it was a puddle. Two girls saw us jumping into the puddle and they dragged me and you into a house.  The liquid you drank and I drank was medicine to help fight of diseases from the bruises that we had.  I woke up one hour before you did because I drank all of the medicine.  You only drank half of it." Scott explained very fast and I somehow didn't fall asleep.  Bob walked into the house and told us that they are going hunting and asked if we want to come.  "I'll go" I said.  "I'll stay here and farm" Scott said.  "We head out at sunrise so get some rest" Bob said.  "Where do we sleep?" I asked the Bob.  "In the straw house" he replied. Scott and I went into the straw house.  Scott and I went to sleep instantly. I awoke to the sound of metal clashing against each other and screams.  When I peeked though the door, I was horrified.
