I'm conscious but I can't see anything. I try moving around but it's too crammed in there. I feel every step the man is taking and it's getting kind of annoying. "Can you let me out?!" I scream. He stops. Uh oh. He drops the bag. Thud. "Ow! What was that for?!" I say. "Shut it, your so annoying" he growls. "Wow thanks." I roll a my eyes but no one can see. "Can you at least let me out" "Fine." He untied the rope and the bag slipped out around me. Immediately the man grabbed my wrists and put them behind my back so I couldn't escape. He shoved me forward to the chief and my grandma. She was looking at me in disappointment. She's just another of the many people I failed. They were standing on a platform with the villagers in two sections, with Caspian right in front of them, the jungle as a backdrop. The man leads me right next to Caspian. "Are you ok?" I ask him. "For now, we won't be in a little bit" he whispers.
The chief raised his hand to silence the people and us. He cleared his throat. "Today is the day!" He cheered. The village chimed in with delight. "Today is the day we rid the village of these pests! These horrible influences! These excuses of people! Time for them to leave. Sentencing Akela and Caspian to the jungle where no person has ever made it out alive. Since they have made this island become a strange place they must leave." Tears are streaming down my face. Pests? Excuse of a person? I look over to Caspian. He's looking at his feet. I see the villagers are looking at us in disgust. There is nothing we can do. "Take them away!" The chief yells. The men holding us by the wrists move to the jungle. Some other men have long spears take over. They point the spears to our backs forcing us to walk forward. Villagers are chanting. Everything stops as we get to the edge of the jungle. I step forward into the jungle and everything changes.
Even one step in here looks like your in the middle of the rainforest. I don't see Caspian anywhere so I wait. It's been five minutes or at least I think and I still don't see him. Man if I knew I would never see him again I would at least say goodbye. I shudder and walk deeper and deeper into this new and mysterious place.
