*Still In The Forest

Dorothy’s POV

As we moved closer to the pond we grabbed our empty water bottles to fetch the water laying before us .

Immediately we dipped our bottles inside the pond ,multiple ripples started forming on the surface coupled with heavy noise emanating from beneath the pond .

In an instant, we saw a very huge crocodile swim in a fast motion towards our direction.

We quickly made to withdraw our bottles from the pond in one swift movement, as if not satisfied the crocodile ferociously nearly grabbed my hand but I was fast enough to escape it’s grip .

We made to run but the crocodile then left the water finally landing on the forest floor . Immediately I and Michael took to our heels it began to chase us ,we ran for nearly an hour before we finally lost sight of it .

We paused to catch our breath and take rest before continuing with our journey.

Michael’s POV

I still could not fathom that up to now we neither had food nor water since we entered this forest.

Dorothy!( I called) What do we do now with this condition, I mean with nothing to quench our thirst?

Dorothy’s POV

Of course we must continue moving, I am sure one way or the other we will find something soon to eat. Let us go it is getting dark already.

*Time Skip (Night)

Michael’s POV

Look over there ! I called out to Dorothy, it seems like a small abandoned hut ,come on let’s go and check it out we might make use of it and stay there for the night.

Luckily on our side when we entered the small wretched looking hut no living thing was sighted ,it was just filled up with cobwebs everywhere.

We decided to do some little cleaning so as to sleep there safely .

After sometime, we managed to clean up ,now it was time to bed . Goodnight Dorothy.

Dorothy’s POV

Goodnight too. Well Michael dozed off right away, for me, I could not fall asleep instantly.

I was deeply lost in thoughts thinking about those bad guys and how they could find us anytime soon ,still lost in thoughts I recalled how I used to be happy with my parents.

I could not help the sudden tears which started dropping from my eyes remember all these memories.

Eventually I did not know when I drifted off to sleep .

*Morning

I yawned wearily while stretching my body as I was woken up by the noisy chirping of the morning birds . I decided to take a look around before Michael wakes up so we could move on with our journey.

I was happily watching the forest view when I had a tap on my shoulder by Michael, he had woken up . We rested for a while then decided to continue with our journey. As usual we walked for hours without seeing any sign of food or water.

How come we still have energy to keep moving, I jocularly said to Michael .

Michael’s POV

Don’t you think starving is better than getting killed by those thugs ? Well I prefer the starving to being killed by people I do not know and for no explicit reason.

I just hope we get out of here soon enough and safely.

Dorothy’s POV

Yeah ,I also hope so .

For now we just have to cope with this condition and keep moving as fast as we can .
