It was the next morning and I woke up to a million bites on me. Damn misquotos.. I tried to get up, but my stomach started bleeding more. My legs were so weak, and I tried to speak, but nothing came out.


My water was gone, my food was gone, I lost my voice, I cant walk. What am I gonna do.

Then I snap out of it. I started crying and hugging my knees. That was one of the best/worst dreams ive ever had. I missed him so much...all of them. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if my parents never died, or if I never ran away.


I still couldnt get up. I pulled up my sleeve, and put another cut to represent day 2. My arm was shaking, due to how weak I was. I felt like I coudlnt even control my body anymore.


I felt so dizzy, cold, and I was in so much pain. I was hungry and thirsty aswell. I hope everyone is okay.


EVELYNS POV:


I was doing okay. It was very cold, but having the baby with me made it better. I wasnt super lonely. It was just hard to take care of myself, and a baby. Most of my scratches healed and the baby was perfectly fine. I just hope that we will all find eachother soon.


THE NEXT DAY:


EMMAS POV:


I woke up to these footsteps far, but not to far away from me.


I saw this figure walk by me. He was blurry, but I knew who he was. It was Marcus.


"M-Marcus!" I tried to yell, but nothing came out.


I tried again, but nothing happened.


I tried to get up, but just fell back down. I cried out of frustration and just hope he will see me. He walks farther, now out of my sight. I knew this wasnt an hallucination. I can now tell what is a hallucination and what is not. This is not. Hopefully he will see me on his way back. He looked like he was doing good. It made me happy.Β 


I waited, laying on the ground hopelessly, hoping Marcus would come back and see me, but he didn’t come back. I felt a tear come out of my eye. I felt like I was slowly dying.


MARCUS’ POV:


I decided to go on a walk and look for someone. I walked the opposite way I did before and walked a lot farther since I had more time. After about 2 miles, I saw this ledge. It had a bag on it. It looked like Reagan’s. I quickly ran over to it and looked around. She wasn't there.


β€œREAGAN?!” I called out hoping for an answer.


β€œMarcus?!” I hear her call out running down. I saw her, she looked fine luckily.


We ran towards each other and hugged like it was our last. I was so glad I found her.


β€œI thought you were dead.” She said to me still hugging.


β€œMe too.” I say pulling away. β€œHave you found anyone else?” I ask


β€œNo, you’re the first.” She says.


I was glad I found her, I just miss everyone else aswell.


β€œHere, lets share a snack.” She says handing me a bag of chips.


We eat and talk a lot till it is past sunset.


β€œYou should stay here. Tomorrow, we will look for the others. Okay?” She says.


(I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT REAGAN HAS A HEARING AID THAT WORKS NOW)


I agree and we both fall asleep.


THE NEXT MORNING:


We both wake up and get ready to look for the others.


β€œOkay, where did you come from?” Reagan asks me.


β€œOver there.” I say, pointing to where I came from.


β€œK. So we will head more the other way.” She says.


We walk for about 1-2 miles before taking a break. We got some water and tried to figure out how far we drifted. We look to the side of us and see the waterfall. We look at each other and quickly run over to there. It would take a while to climb up, but we didn’t care. As we were climbing, a rock slipped under my foot and I fell a little.


β€œMarcus!” Reagan says reaching for my hand. I grab her hand and she pulls me up.
We continue climbing till we get to the top. We look around and see my dad sitting down. He looks up at us slowly and gets up. We all run to each other and hug super tight. This lasts for about 30 seconds. We pull away.


β€œWhat-how. How did you find me?” My dad says.


β€œWe walked 4 miles to find you. Me and Marcus found each other last night.” Reagan says.


β€œAnd your hearing aid still works?” My dad says.


β€œyeah!” She says.


Her hearing aid was under water so we assumed it wouldn't survive, that’s why he was surprised.


β€œDid you guys find mom?” He asks.


β€œNo, we didn’t find Emma either.” I say.


His eyes widen a little hearing her name.


β€œOh.” He says.


We talked for a little until we realized it was getting kinda late.


"I say we go to bed so we can wake up early and find the others." Dad says.


Me and Reagan agree and we drift off to sleep.


I cant stop thinking about Emma. Weve been out here for about a week and she has no supplied what so ever. Im also worried about my mom and the baby. They must be struggling a lot. As I think of these things, I drift off to sleep.


THE NEXT MORNING:


EMMAS POV:


It was the next day, and I have been out here for 9 days. I got my knife and put a mark on my wrist, showing it was day 9. I can barley move. Marcus never came back so im assuming he found someone. I hope everyone is okay. I hope Marcus, Evelyn, the baby, Reagan, and even Lee are okay. All of a sudden, I hear fooosteps. I hear them coming from the left side of me.
