My Blood Or My Love? ✔️

Chapter 43: Welcome To The Jungle

I know this is kind of out of the blue but, do people actually like my stories or are they just reading it to find something to criticise about?

Sorry about this philosophical thought but I'm reading through all the comments on every chapter and sometimes I feel like nobody really enjoys my story, I'm so sorry if you don't find it good guys because I know I'm not the best. :( <3

I officially hate mosquitoes.

I know you've all probably heard people complain and hate on them but seriously, I really really hate mosquitoes, per se.

At first it wasn't so bad.  Our plane landed right outside of the Amazon and I couldn't help but feel guilty about it.  If any vegans heard what we had done, we'd never hear the end of it.  We all got off of the plane and was met with a gigantic wall of trees the size of a skyscraper.  The trees were absolutely spectacular, their barks were as strong as armour, their branches extended out to each other and their leaves were a deep green.  The soil underneath us was slightly moist and the loud callings of monkeys, birds and other of its native animals resonated through the Rainforest.  I sounded so poetic but I swear it was spectacular even though we hadn't stepped foot inside it yet. 

Click!  Snap!  Click!  Snap!

"Iz, are you actually fucking kidding me right now?  You're taking pictures on a camera even though we might just be walking straight to our death?"  Jaycon asked annoyingly as I continued snapping away on my camera.

"Shut up, I didn't ask you to take them now did I?"  I fired back while he glared at me like a mother would when she saw her child trodding mud on the newly cleaned floor. 

"You're impossible,"  He sighed and turned away. 

Each one of us had a large rucksack that contained some clothes, food, toiletries (though I didn't know how much use that would be to us), first aid kit, a small tent, a sleeping bag, portable torches and a Swiss Army knife (plus a gun for both the boys but not Clayre and I. Pfffff sexist idiots.)

"It's time to go in," Lucien announced and adjusted the bag on his broad shoulders. Oh boy, how could he still look hot as hell wearing khaki shorts and a plain white shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. It was refreshing to see him wearing something other than his usual expensive suits.

"Wait, before we go in..." I grabbed Lucien's wrist and brought him over to where Jaycon and Clayre were and sandwiched us together with them before turning the camera lens to all our faces, "Everybody smile and say Death!"

I grinned and snapped a photo of all of us together.

"She is seriously the weirdest fucking girl I've ever met," Jaycon muttered as I went back onto the camera roll to see our group picture and saw all of our faces. Despite all of his complaining, Jaycon smiled in the pic and smiled so did Clayre who was beaming. I had a big smile on my face but then my breath hitched when I saw Lucien in it.  He was gorgeous of course but... he was smiling... and he was looking straight at me instead of the camera. 

"Come on.  We should go in now and do as much walking around as we can before it gets dark,"  Lucien said and started walking into the forest.  I clicked my camera shut and hung it over my neck and the three of us all followed him into the vast green maze.

So this is the part where I officially hate mosquitoes.
