Joy's POV
.
It's been two days now since we were being held captive, we still have no clue about what they
Want from us.....They have been feeding us some ugly looking food even though we don't want
To eat it we have no choice but to eat it.
.
What really baffled me was that......They have been feeding us in excess like five times in a day..........Which got me thinking that,....is this how they feed their prisoners? or is there something else behind it?.........then I remembered Mike how I wish he is here I'm very sure he would have found solution or away to get us out of here.
.
I was still thinking about everything when they brought another food with smiles on their ugly
Face which make me more worried.
.
Samuel: wow look like this people like us already.........i don't think they going to kills us.........
May be they see that we are only teenagers and we mean them no harm.
.
Lara: Then why are we still here......why are they keeping us here when we should be on our way home.
.
Me: Something is not right.....Somethings are not adding up.
After a while they take off their clothes leaving the girls in their pants and bras and the boys in
Their boxers, they started cleaning their body and also covering them in something like paint, a
Red paint.
.
After they finish decorating them they led them to a very big and darkplace, from the look of it...
It looks like a cave.
.
Then I started fearing for what they are going to do to them.
.
.
UNKNOWN POV
.
I heard strangers i've entered our land and what I couldn't believe is that they are all young, so
Since then i've been watching and following them, even when they are pursuing them in the forest, I helped them kill few but i make sure no one see or notice me.
.
When I see that one of them have fell off the cliff, I quickly went there and luckily for him ,there
Are many trees in this place so he fell on it, even the man he pushdown also fell on the tree
But I quickly kill him off, so I went to the boy but he was unconcious, so I carried him to my place.
.
It's been two day now and he is still unconscious and I already treated his wound cause he was
Badly injured,
I think he is their leader so he has to wakeup cause I need his help.
