She just sighed. "Hey, listen. We need to be strong. We need to get out of here, okay? "

I nodded.

"Alright, so calm down because we still have to figure out how to get out of this freaking place," she advised.

"Do you understand me?"

She held my hand.

That's when I realized.

That's right.

We need to stabilize, because otherwise we really can't get stuck in it. We have to try to find a way out of this hellish jungle.

We need to move.

We need to keep moving.

We need to get out of here if we still love our lives.

I let out a heavy sigh. "Let's go."

Lily hugged me and continued looking for a possible way. We still have to find Macey and Miss Aya. If I'm not mistaken, the two seem to be in danger.

I was worried about them both. Especially since they're just the two of them together now and we're just not sure what happened, so that's how the child screamed and cried.

I should not be discouraged.

Gradually, the cries we heard faded.

I was even more nervous.

It was also getting dark, so we had a hard time finding a safe way. I can't take out my cellphone because I also don't know where it is.

"Move faster, I'm starting to worry about them." Lily trembled.

"So do i." I responded.

Despite my aching wounds, I struggled to speed up my steps. I was nervous. In a few moments, Macey's accented screams completely disappeared.

The last thing we heard was them calling each other's names.

Lily and I stopped when we felt a presence again, followed by a demonic laugh.

We looked at each other and cursed at the same time.

"Shit!"

"Fuck!"

I sped away. Lily followed me.

They might be in danger! Damn it!" I shuddered.

"That way!" Lily pointed. I followed the direction he pointed out. I'm very tired but I try to speed up my movements so that somehow we can reach the two.

When we reached their place, we only found Miss Aya. She was just standing and crying.

I could feel the presence of the shadow chasing us lately, but it suddenly disappeared after a while.

Its presence is recurring.

I rolled my eyes to look for Macey, but I could no longer find him.

What the hell happened?

AYA

I woke up with a heavy feeling. I was lying on the ground and I could feel its coldness.

I opened my eyes. The atmosphere is dark.

I am very weak.

I could barely move my legs and arms because of the weakness caused by fatigue. I scratched my head. My vein is already throbbing there.

In the morning, I turned around to look for Macey.

I can't find her.

She was nowhere else I turned.

I just cried when I remembered what had happened to him a while ago.

I did nothing to help him. I did nothing to save him from that quagmire. If I hadn't been so weak, it might not have happened to him.

I sobbed quietly when I felt that presence again.

Here he is again.

Anger flared up in my heart.
