The 7 Tellers

Chapter 5

It is now morning. The 2 unconscious girls are now awake , searching for what they saw.

"This way guys!" Tara said.

Maria and Tara were leading the way to the other area of the forest that was undiscovered.

"Glad you're back guys." Wyatt said. Everyone hugged the two, all except Fel. He only hugged Maria. Fel then walked up to Tara, having a stern look on his face.

"You need to stop getting yourself lost. You're not grown!" Fel yelled at her.

She started crying. " It's not my fault!" She said as she ran away.

Poor Tara. She didn't mean to get lost. She was just a curious girl, who was scared of bees.

As Tara ran away, Fel's face expression changed. From seriousness and anger, to disappointment and sadness.

"Well, let's go get her." Maria said, leading the group towards the direction she ran to. Trina stayed in the back of the group, since Fel was walking so slow.

"You know she's just younger than you. You can't be so hard on her like that. It was just an accident that she ran away, not to include that she has a very creative and curious mind.", Trina said.

"I know, I shouldn't have been so harsh", Fel said, clearly sounding upset.

They both sat down on a log, making sure that they can still see their friends in the distance.

"Fel, you have to remember, she is only a bit younger than you. You have to learn to pull your head in, because she is growing up. I know that your sister is not your cup of tea, but you have to deal with it. "

Fel just stared as she continued, like he was thinking about something. "But anyways, you need her. And she needs you. So give it a burl, because you're not a cactus to her."

Fel gave a confused look. He has clearly not gotten used to her Australian accent, and phrases. Trina signed, knowing this.

"What I mean is, try and bond with her, because later on in the future, she will be your only resourceful help, and you will be her only resourceful help. You may seem useless to her, but you're not." Trina said to him. He then smiled.
"You always have the best advice, Trina." She thanked him, and so they hugged.

"We found her!" Stacy yelled, loud enough for Trina and Fel to hear her. As the two of them caught up to the rest, Fel ran straight to Tara and gave her a big, tight hug. "I'm so sorry Tara. I shouldn't have overreacted like that." he said to her. "It's ok" Tara replied. They both smiled.

But deep inside, Fel was wondering about how him doing something like this multiple times in the past, will affect their future.

Minutes later, everyone was at the destination Tara lead them to.

"Right here" she says, pointing to the location. The seven searched the area to find only nothing but trees, trees, and more trees.

"I need a break." Stephanie said. "I just got my nails done two days ago, and I think all this searching is gonna chip one of my long tips." As she sat down on a rock, something shook the ground. Some of the trees were moving apart.

"Uh, what's happening?" Wyatt asked. The ground shook again as they all fell on the floor.

_ _ _ _ _

"Where are they?" The person touched a piece of grass. They suddenly shook, in disbelief.

"This can't be possible! It was supposed to be stronger!!! Maria and Tara should've been dead!!!!!"

He/She stormed off, looking for her/his belonging.

_ _ _ _ _

The vines slid apart from each other as something was revealed. Everyone was shocked about what they saw.

"What the?" Tara said. She reached out to grab it, but her hand immediately shot down as she unconsciously fell to the ground.

"Back away" The mysterious person said, appearing out of nowhere.

The villain had their hand in a scratching position, as it twisted their hand and forcefully pushed it down to the floor.

Everyone was immediately knocked out.

"You didn't see anything...And you surely won't remember it."

He/She shot the seven with a memory eraser gun, so they will forget what they saw, and will never get in the way again.

Or so the person thought.

2 Months Later. . . . .

"Guys, wake up!" Tara said to the others.

As everyone woke up, they were confused when they saw cops everywhere, and they were in the woods.

"Why are we in the woods?" Maria asked everyone.

Wyatt looked like a light bulb just hit him. "Weren't we on a camping trip?"

Everyone was slowly taking in their surroundings, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Eww what is that smell?" Stacy said as she opened her bag and found a moldy bagel, and rotten strawberries.

"Huh? That's weird." Stephanie said. "When you showed me the label it said it was best before June 30th."

Then something hit Trina. One of the cops came over at the perfect time, because Trina had a question to ask.

"Hey are you guys ok?" one of the cops asked. Trina signaled her friends to not speak, because she wanted them to hear what she was about to say.

"Yes, we are. Umm, would you mind telling me today's date?"

The cop smiled. "Sure. Today is August 17, 2016."

Everyone looked shocked. They all ended up saying the same exact thing a the same time.

"WHAT???"
