Immediately we all ran away from the scene, I realized that we are all scattered,

We all ran away in different directions, only 7 people are with me. The remaining 13 are not.

Me: where are the rest?, where did they go??

Chris(pastor): are you asking me?....is it not you we are running after.

Sandra: who are those people?....did any one see there face?

Me: how can we see them?.......there are many trees and leaves here.......they are using them as

Camouflage............which make us not to see them.

(we are still talking when we hear someone pleading).

.

Please don't kill me, I beg of you please...............The person was saying.

Then I signal to the rest to be quiet while we tiptoe to the scene. We saw someone point ingat

Lara while she was on the ground.

.The person was moving towards her when she saw us, I signal to her to keep quiet while I take

A big stone from the ground and tiptoe gently behind him and hit him with the stone blood was

Gushing of his head.

He turn back quickly and hit me on my face and I fell down flat and he bring out a dagger to hit

Me and I hit him at his balls and he also fell down groaning in pain, I took the dagger from him

And slit his throat multiple times until i'm sure that he's dead and I went to lara.......are you alright.......i asked......she just nodded. You can all come out now............i called the rest out.

They all came to meet me and asked whether i'm ok which I replied yes.....cus my body was

Covered with blood, I told them it's not mine.

Michael'sPOV

We've found a place with less trees and leaves and sitdown. While we are treating the wounded one.

Me: we need to remove the arrow gently but first we need bandages or clothe to stop the bleeding.

.

Joy: we cant do that unless we have something like alcohol to use as antibiotics if not the

Wound might get infected which can cause tetanus.

.

Me: but how do we get alcohol or any antibiotic in this place?.

Pstchris: Leaf cutterants.......It part of our specimen we are to find in this place......They Carry

Antibiotics On their Chests. I think I have it with me.

.

Me: I think we all do.......so guys let gather every leaf cutter ant with us so we can use it.

.

(after we've all gather it)

.

Me: so Joy you got your antibiotics, what else do you need?

Joy: hmmm.......just any herbal leaves and I think we already have that with us which is our

Cannibal leave.

.

After Joy finish crunching the leaf cutter and which she use as antibiotics.........we removed they

Arrow head from them and used the cannibal leaf to cover the wound.

We all settle down to discuss.............
