"I think we have enough for now, we should head back" -said Ethan.
"You could say, Bill will be satisfied" -said Callen.
"The guy who eats worms like jelly beans? He'll be thrilled!" -said Jeff.
"Wait what?" -said Mark.
"You know one time, even before we set up this current camp, we were living on bugs and worms, everyone was vomiting and had stomatch problems all the time, Ed and Josh were even deadly sick once, but Bill, hell, he ate those worms like spaghetti! Like it's the most delicious thing in the world! Man, I'm telling you, if somebody can survive this mess it's that guy" -said Callen.
"I think we all had similar start, but no one enjoyed it more than Bill" -said Josh.
"Interesting guy" -said Mark.
"Oh just wait to see him working, he never stops" -said Josh.
"Yeah, his back will break before he bends" -said Jeff.
"Michael has been working with him and Ed for past two days" -said Mark.
"Rip Michael" -said Josh.
"Rip Ed" -added Jeff.
"How did you and Michael met? Where were you guys before you joined us?" -asked Callen.
"I met Michael on the fifth day, and since then we were going around together. We literally met no one else other than you guys" -said Mark.
"Yeah, same, I was out here with my brother, and later, I met Mason and joined their camp" -said Jeff.
"And where is your brother?" -asked Mark.
Jeff was silent for few seconds and then responded.
"He is out there... I hope" -said Jeff.
"What's your brothers name Jeff?" -asked Ethan.
"Sid" -said Jeff.
"Sid?" -asked Josh.
"Yeah, Sid" -responded Jeff.
"Sid Stone, cool" -said Ethan.
"Anyway, what's your story Mark?" -asked Jeff.
"Well there is nothing much to say, I woke up in some grassfield with no memories on how I got here, or where I was before I got here, I was searching for something... anything for few days, and then one day I met Michael, we were in the same situation, it was then that I realized this is something else, this is... I don't know what this is... and from there two of us went around searching for a way home for long time, and then, we met you guys. That's pretty much it" -said Mark.
"Oh wow" -added Callen.
"Considering winter is almost here, I don't think we'll be going anywhere any time soon" -said Mark.
After few moments..
"Grab your stuff, it's time to go" -said Ethan, and everyone packed up and they headed back to their camp.
Meanwhile, in front of the workshop.
"Mason? What are you talking about?" -asked Zoey.
"Zoey, I figured it out, I know what we have to do now" -said Mason.
"You had nightmares again, put that down" -said Zoey.
"Listen to me... I had a vision, some sort of it... I heard a voice and it told me what to do, I know what to do now, I finally realized what it wants from me" -said Mason.
"Who?!" -asked Zoey.
"The voice! The voice Zoey! It finally showed me where demon is, and we have to kill it before he gets to us!" -said Mason.
"Mason, no..." -whispered Zoey.
"The path is clear, follow me, help me defeat this thing and keep this camp safe" -said Mason.
"What thing?!" -confusedly asked Zoey.
"The demon! I know what it is!" -said Mason.
"What's the demon?!" -asked Zoey.
"Remember Charlie? Remember what killed him? That's it! That was the demon, and he is on his way here, we have to stop it!" -said Mason.
Zoey was speechless.
"Zoey, I need your help with this, I need your support, others might not believe me" -said Mason.
"Mason..." -said Zoey but he interrupted her.
"We have to include others in this and everyone must know because it won't be easy. I need you on my side in this" -said Mason.
Zoey was silent for a moment and in shock, and then she shook her head and said.
"Mason... You know I was always there for you, always supported you and always on your side... but this... I'm sorry... I can't support you in this"
"But Zoey..." -said Mason.
"There is no but... You need to stop with all this nonsense..." -said Zoey.
"This whole world is a nonsense! Us being here is nonsense! This marks on our hands are nonsense! Our lives are nonsense! -shouted Mason.
"I'm sorry... but I can't support you in this" -said Zoey.
"Is that so? Fine. I'll get it done by myself" -said Mason.
Zoey turned around and left in shock.
