Hey, I'm sorry everyone, but I'm dropping out. I can't keep up with the story and other storybooks are taking my time. Lindy is up for grabs if anyone wants her or you can just kill her by falling off a cliff or something... once again sorry.
*OKay... I thought I was out but guess not...*
*Here it goes.*
Johanne
-first night-
I had to stand up from my lowliness. I had to stand up from my saddens. I had to stand up from my fear. Everyone was having dinner and calming their selves. I decided to go in the forest trying to discover anything that could help us. A cascade, a river, fruit tress, caves, any kind of eatable animal. Anything. I was being really stupid, in the middle of the night going out to the forest but my instinct said for me too go. I always trust my instinct.. I picked up my knives and sneaked out to the woods. I tried not to notice.
***
As I searched for something, didn't even know what my instincts got more active. I could hear the forest, it was alive, awaken... Noticing every step you take. My heard detected something, a sound... It was clear and pure... Water...
I started running in the direction of that sound. I was getting insane, I think. My legs jumped every stick and hole. I passed throw every obstacle with the minimum effort. I didn't command my body. The sound started getting harder. Finally I found it.
A beautiful glade with a cascade that turned into a lake. The moon illuminated that place with it's aura. The water reflected that light and gave it a white pearly look. Some ancient trees were growing there, their branches touched the earth, a passage for us to climb on them as hear those trees stories. It was paradise. I was tires, tired of running, of surviving, of crying but yet, tears rolled by my face as I walked to those trees. I found a little shelter, made of rocks. Something small but I could beautiful there. My body was immediately embraced by the soft grass and my head rested in a rock. I fall asleep.
Luis glanced around. Was it just the four of them going? He could have sworn there'd been more kids than that in the camp. But they'd all managed to make themselves disappear in one manner or another at the suggestion that they venture deep into the forest looking for some people who had already gone that way. People who hadn't returned.
"Well, since we agreed to split into two groups, I guess we'll just have to go in pairs." Luis said after a moment's thought, "I'll go with Kate, and you two can go together." He said to James and Chris, "Unless anyone's got an objection to that...?"

I notice that i was not the only going to the forest. Hmmm, what a coincidence..., i thought as i look up and saw that the rest of them were splitting into groups.
I wonder what they are up to...
i simply shrug to that idea as i tugged in my weapon closed to my shoulders. It is not safe to let myself, adefenceless girl, go without a weapon. I checked my ten made arrows. They are sharp as a knife. But i came here just to hunt. I need some few animals for my dinner as well as some fruit to make some juice.
i took one last glance before i prepare myself inside.
I stared down the beach as the group was leaving. Something was standing near the jungle, it looked like a person.
"Hey do you see someone down there? " I asked Alexis.
Alexis looked where I had been looking. "No." she said.
"Hmm. I could have sworn there was someone down there. Someone who looked familiar, maybe from the plane." I said.
"I'm sure it was nothing." Alexis said while adding more wood to the fire.
Alexis
Maeve was delirious from her near death experience. She was seeing people who were probably dead. Really, how could anyone who didn't stick with the group still be okay?
We went into the forest, and I admit I was sort of scared t ogo in, as almost no one who went in had come out. But this had to be done. We didn't say much, we just walked and tried to keep to a certain trail, so we don't get lost.
It was an hour later and we were exausted from all the walking and false alarms. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of something.
"Luis, look, isn't that-" I ran towards the thing, and sure enough it was jhoanne, she was asleep on a rock. At least I hoped she was. I checked her pulse, fortunately it was normal.
"She must be exausted, Luis...do you think you can...carry her to the campsite?" I asked.
Chris
We had been lurking about aimlessly for nearly an hour and we still hadn't found anything.
We were both getting tired.
"Listen, man, is it okay if we sat down for a bit, I'm exausted." I said after a while.
"Suren no problem." James said, after a bit.
*Right, if anyone wants lindy, now's the time to take her, if not she's just going to have to die.*
It was an exausting climb. It took us a half hour t oclimb to the very top, but we didn't speak so we can save our energy. We looked around for the smoke.
"Don't see it." James said.
I squinted my eyes, in an attempt to see something that looked blurry.
"I think, it's down there." I pointed in the direction where I saw something that resembled smoke.
"I think, that's it." James said. We decided to walk towards it. We could start again once we found the fire, and try not to get lost this time.
He scratched the back of his head a little. Prolonged strength wasn't a characteristic of his family, but the camp wasn't too far, and Johanne didn't look too heavy. "I think I should be able to." He said after a moment, walking across to the girl on the rock.
Luis picked her up gently, trying not to wake her, despite Kate's assurance that she was out cold. He turned to go back the way they'd come, and found himself unable to distinguish where they'd come from.
"Shit..." he muttered, "Which way?" Is this what Camille meant?

"Umm..." I looked up. there was no sign of the smoke that had been helping us, stay on track. Oh great, I thought, Things just keep getting better and better.
"There's no sign of the fire, " I finaly said. And then I wished I hadn't. how dumb had that sounded? I mean he could SEE that, it's why he was aking me, but how should I know.
" Yeah..." He said, as he put Jhoanne down.
"Wait..I have an idea. Stay with Jhoanne, ok? I'm gonna go look for...well a sign of the fire, I should be back within...say fifteen miutes, you okay with that?
Maeve and I had sat in pretty much silence for the longest time. We didn't talk until we noticed the fire was almost out.
"Crap." I said, "Do we have any more wood?"
"No..." Maeve said. "This isn't good."
"Yeah, everyone is just going to be stranded in the jugle forever." I looked towards the jungle. "We have to get more wood."
Maeve looked uncertain. "I don't think I should be going into the jungle in my condition."
"Okay." I sighed. Guess it's just me. "I'll go then."
I started down the beach a ways. I had a sickening feeling that there was more than just trees and plants in this jungle. This time when I felt the nausia in me i let it take control and I bounded into the jungle. I just hoped Maeve didn't see me.
Maeve
Alexis was going into the jungle by herself. This probably wasn't a good idea but I didn't feel up to treking into the unknown right now. And the fire was completely out now, she had to go.
I watched her disappear down the length of the beach. She stopped and then ran into the jungle. I could almost swear she had changed somehow...she ran more like an animal would run.
"You're just imagining things Maeve, you suffered a head injury due to a plane crash." I said to myself.
James
We walked towards where the smoke had been. It would hopefully not take long, but it did seem like we weren't walking in the same direction we came. But this jungle was a crazy place.
The whole climbing the mountain thing was pretty cool though.
"Yes, but obviously we are not okay." He stood, showing large gashes along his arms and tears in his clothes. Star had a similar appearance.
"God, what happened to you two?" I asked.
**So did Comet and Star's creator drop out? If so, are we keeping them in since we have like only 6 people from the plane? Someone let me know. And also, do we have a discussion thread?**
I rolled my eyes and jabbed Comet in the ribs. We would have to work on his people skills. We'd decided to get away from everyone because people and us don't really mix well, and when we'd finally decided to join everyone and help them out, we realized how lost we were. We're mutant freaks but we're directionally impared mutant freaks.
"We're fine." I said sending a picture of a glare to Comet. He snickered and got a weird look.
"You sure?"
"Just lost." I shrugged. Comet and I had been lost too many times to count and it wasn't such a big deal. At least there weren't any government agents trying to kill us this time.
