Lost And Found

CHAPTER 3- 1st DAY

MAISY'S P.O.V

It probably had been about a few hours since we got lost and thanks to the peanut packages and a few bars of chocolate in my pocket, it seemed like we could make it through the night. I hoped so anyways.

We were walking side by side, staying close. Well, I was staying close to him more than he was to me. There are a lot of creatures living in the jungle and I did not want to be there dinner tonight or any other night in that matter.

I took out my phone to check again for the 100th time if there was any signal but unfortunately there was none. I sighed in frustration and let out a moan in pain. My legs were killing me after walking non-stop for 3 hours. "Can we please stop?" I asked him and he nodded and sat down himself, he probably was tired too.

I leaned against a tree and he sat down next to me doing the same. He hadn't spoken to me since he told me his name, Eugene. Let me tell you, that is one hell of a sexy name. I looked at him and he was looking ahead, gazing at the trees. What else is there in the jungle more than trees anyway?

Just as I had leaned my head back looking up, I saw something black and orange the size of my hand crawling fast towards me and I jumped up screaming which caused him to move away from the tree as well, looking at it.

"There was a big spider." I said pointing at the tree trunk. I started to itch my neck, getting paranoid. Oh God, there was going to be more of those and probably worse ones until we were found. Were we ever going to get find? What if we don't? I don't want to die in a jungle!

He turned around and started to walk and I caught up to him, "You know, you always leave me behind. You really should stop doing that." I said to him and got no reply. Was he ever going to talk to me again?

If I'm lost in the jungle and going to be lost for a long while I need somebody to talk to. I knew he wasn't going to talk to me but why not try? "So, how's it going?" I asked and he gestured around us and lifted an eyebrow looking at me like it was so obvious and that I was an idiot and I totally agreed with the second one. I nodded my head, blushing for asking something so dumb.

We had been walking for couple of hours now and it was getting dark and we probably should sit down and rest for the night and have a small block of chocolate each. "It's getting dark, we should rest for the night." I told him, voicing my thoughts. He nodded and we found a huge tree to sit next to. I looked around the tree, trying to see if there were any spiders then sat next to him, leaning against the tree.

I took out the bar of chocolate from my pocket and gave him a small block, which he thanked in a nod and then I got one for my self. Doesn't he ever stop nodding? His neck is going to fall off from all the nodding he does.

I looked straight ahead, eating my chocolate slowly. Chocolate does make things a little better. I looked to my right and saw that Eugene had already eaten his chocolate and had fallen asleep already, his breathing heavy. The moment I finished my chocolate, I heard noises of animals. I think I just peed my self, I looked down and nope it was clean. Thank God, because I don't have spare underpants or any pants for that matter.

I inched closer to Eugene, he was sleeping, how is he going to know that I put my head on his shoulder while awake and not while sleeping? So I did that, I slowly put my head on his shoulder to rest and to make sure that there was someone with me in this wild jungle and that I was not alone.

Even though we had been walking for a whole day, his smelt delicious and I sniffed him and froze. What the hell? I felt like a psychopath. With these thoughts, I drifted off to sleep with the hopes that something good will happen in this terrifying jungle tomorrow.
