~Author's Note~
Okay, tell me something I don't know. Yes, I haven't updated any of my books for like what 9 billion years. But, I'm trying. Anyway, this is the chapter where things get ..
~Chapter O3~
I was sitting, silently crying when I heard this annoying psst sound. I slowly turned my head and saw something I couldn't even believe. It was an actual person! A human being!
"Pssssst," they said. At this point I realized it was a guy. "I know you see me. Come over here."
I was desperate so I just got up and limped over to him.
"I'm Austin. Listen, I really shouldn't be doing this so I advice that you cooperate and nothing else. What happened to your feet," he asked.
"I-i was running a-aaway from big bad animals. Fast run," I said. Now, I'm not sure if you noticed, but my feet were bruised up, I drank a little too much salt water, and I got bitten. I was in no stable condition.
"Okay. I'm guessing you got bit and you drank salt water. I have this peroxide. It might sting but it'll clean your feet and your bite up."
As Austin poured the peroxide where my bite was first, and then on my feet. I couldn't help but scream.
"I don't think you wanna do that. You already know what happens," he said.
He cleaned up my feet and my bite and then gave me water to drink. Clean water. I drank that water tooooo fast!
"Slow down! You can get more when we get to my camp. Well, that's if they let you stay," he said.
"Wh-at do you mean by that," I said.
"You'll see." And with that, we made our way to his camp.

"Okay listen guys," Austin began telling his group. "I know, you're not supposed to bring anyone back but--," he got cut off.
"But nothing Austin! We clearly said to not bring anyone for a reason. They could have some type of disease or an infection and we're all doing fine as of right now. We don't need this tramp," this lady said.
"I am NOT a tramp," I said regaining my words.
"Alex, or whatever your name is, shut up," Austin told me. That hurt. Because my name is Alaya. "You can't kick her out. If you were Alex, you would want someone to help you and bring you back somewhere where there was a chance at staying alive."
"It's Alaya .." I said shyly.
"I disagree with you Austin. I agree with Rach. We can't take chances," some girl said.
"Guys, don't you think this is a little fucked up. The same thing happened when I needed help and you guys weren't hesitant when Rach brought me. But, Austin brings someone and all hell breaks loose," this cute boy said.
"Listen, I don't need this. Do not question my decisions, I'm captain and --."
I've heard enough.
"Actually, all of you guys shut the fuck up. I don't care about any of your rules "Rach." I don't care about what the fuck you think I might have. I actually don't give a fuck about what you guys think of me. I'm somebody who's trying to live and you can't just simply let me in your camp? I will go through anything. Do anything to me. Give me a test, anything. And if I pass, I stay," I said.
"Take this test you bitch."
And with that, Rachel hit me hard on the head with some hammer. I couldn't remember anything during the time when I knocked out to when I woke up. Of course I couldn't. I think I knocked out for a while. When I woke up, there was a burning pain on my back. I turned around to see my back was on fire. I quickly rolled around and around making sure that the fire went out. When it did, I put on a show for these people.
"What the actual fuck. Do you guys hate me that much that you have to set my back on fire," I yelled.
"Actually, you wanted a test. So these are the tests. I hit you in the head with a hammer to see if you could take a hit from any of these wild animals. Then, we set your back on fire. Just to see if you could handle any fires. Now here's your last test," Rach said.
All I saw was a puma running towards me and it knocked me on the floor. I quickly got up and ignored the pain of my scraped legs. I got the nearest stick I saw and decided to use it as my weapon. The puma launched at me again and I hit it with the stick. It got right back up and pushed me on the floor. I stabbed the puma in it's eye and got back up. I saw that there was a sharper stick on the floor. I took that and ended the battle by repeatedly stabbing the puma to it's death. I sat down on the floor, tired, exhausted yet relieved.
"Nice job. I think we can use her," Rach said.
"You guys," I took a deep breath, and then said "are all dicks." And then, I drifted off to sleep.
