Stranded

Woods

Kuro's POV

"Ughhhh it's taking forever to find one..." whined Kuro.

"Well, blame Jio for not giving us a map."

"I blame Jio for everything wrong in the world, Arch. Politics, global warming, etc."

The gang has been walking around for almost the entire day, and it's starting to get dark. But Archie kept them going, because he wanted to find another shiny thing, and to torture us for bullying him in the past.

"Archieeeeee... we need to stooooop... we're tiiiired..." whined Kyoni, "I know you're torturing us but cmon man..."

"Fiiiiine, we'll rest," sighed Archie, "but we are getting up early."

Everyone made a sigh of relief as they sat down, unpacking some food. Kyo was explaining slowly to Waffle how to make a fire, while Luna and Kyoni make a make-shift base. Kuro notices Tak moving toward Puff.

"Oh no," Kuro mumbles as she moves closer to hear what they say.

Kuro notices Puff stiffen as Tak approaches her. She obviously doesn't want to talk to him.

"Hey.." Tak waves to Puff, but she doesn't reply.

"I was wondering, it's been pretty awkward between us and I know I was your boyfriend, but I can't remember any of that. So, I was thinking, maybe we could just be friends, and get to know each other again?"

Ouch. Being friend zoned by your boyfriend... poor Puff... wait, did I just notice a tear run down her face?

Puff turns to Tak with a fake smile, but he doesn't notice it, "sure, I'd like that..."

----------------------------------------------

It's morning, and Puff and Tak seem to be acting normal, though you can tell she's still depressed. We head farther into the woods, and we can't find anymore shiny's. Everyone's getting impatient.

"What if we run into those tribe guys again??" Puff asks, looking around.

"Don't worry, if any of those guys come, we'll be ready." Waffy pulls out a pistol.

"Where did you get that??" Archie exclaimed, concern in is voice.

Waffle smirks. No one asks why, Waffy is just unpredictable.

"Guys, look!" Kuro points to something shining in the distance.

"That must be one of the shiny things! Let's go!" Archie runs in the direction of the shiny thing.

Kyo picks up the shiny thing. When it opens, something attacks Kyo! It bites down on her hand.

"AHHHHHH OWOWOWOWOW!! GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFFFFF!!!"

It looked like one of those bear traps that people put in the woods. Maybe there is a button on it??

"Kyo, I need you to calm down, I want to look at it," Kuro examines the small bear trap, and she was right! There is a button! Kuro hits the button and the bear trap releases Kyo. She makes a sigh of relief, "thanks Kuro..."

Luna looks inside the shiny thing, and there is a note with some bandages near it, they're not enough to cover Kyo's wound correctly. Jio's taunting us!

Luna picks up the note and reads it out loud,
"Dear the 'Fam'
I see you've found my bear trap clue. I left bandages for the poor soul who got caught in my trap, I hope it was enough~
Inside the bear trap is a map to take you to the next clue, but be careful, that trap is very sensitive, and one bad touch will make it bite~

Sincerely,
Mystery"

"IM GONNA KILL JIO!!" Kyo screams as Waffle puts the right bandages on her hand. For some reason, Waffle carries a first aid kit wherever she goes. It's a good thing though but still.

"Kyo, you think your gonna be alright?" Mika asks, concerned.

"Yeah... I think I'll be fine..."

"Alright then," Archie helps Kyo up from the ground, "let's keep movin."
