"Oh my god! You.... You're alive?" Vedha managed to say.
.

"Where have you guys been? I was so scared." Vedha yelled at him.

"I'm sorry Vedha. But... I swear we are searching you from morning." he replied as he got closer.

"We? Then...whe...where are the others?" Vedha questioned him.

"Uhhh....umm...actually... I don't know how to tell you this.....but....uhh.... I....umm..." he stammered badly.

"Speak fast." Vedha ordered.

"I...actually.....we...no... I...." He said in the same way.

"Stop stopping!" Vedha raised her voice.

"Ok... Ahem... Let me tell this story correctly... After the boat crashed we were all unconscious at one place except you." he started telling her.

"Yeah.... I'm familiar with that part of the story." Vedha shrugged.

"Soo..... Everyone was scared..and we thought of going back the same way we came here. But I remembered that you were not with us. But nobody cared. I insisted on searching you, but everybody wanted to leave. So at last it was my decision to find you and go back with you only." he stated.

"What? Thats not true.....they....they are my friends....they will never do that..." Vedha muttered as she collapsed on the ground.

"Sadly....its true.... I forced Sid and Sumedh to come with me but they instantly said no. I asked Ria.....she said that she was too scared to come with me... So I came alone, only for you. " He sat down beside Vedha.

"Ri... Ri.. Ria? Sid and Sumedh?" Vedha said slowly.

"Yea....they left us in the morning." he stated.
"But don't worry, I'm here and I'll save you."

"Lets go." Vedha said as she got up slowly.

"But are you sure Krish that they left us alone?" she asked him.

"Yes Veds......who do you trust more?
Your childhood bestfriend or these people you just met a few hours ago?" Krish asked her.

"Both actually....but thank you Krish for helping me rescue this place." Vedha smiled faintly.

"Anything for my best friend!" he gave her a warm smile which was not soo friendly.

"Someone's screaming." Evan said to everyone.

"Shussh...We can hear that too dumbhead." Ethan shushed him.

Evan just gave him Why are you even doing that?  look.

"What should we do?" Akshay asked in general.

"I think we should check it out, even though it is fully dangerous and strange...we should go there." Sapna said.

Eveyone sprinted towards the direction of the voice. The screams were getting louder and distinct as they were approaching.
After going a little distance, they came to an open space, there were fallen trees, their logs were damp and moss was grown all over them,everything one could find in a forest was present except human beings.

Everyone was confused. They started looking around them. And the screams stopped. Few seconds later, they started again. After looking around a lot, two girls jumped from behind the bushes, Shanaya and Ananya.
