After Lt. Dan and Des escaped from the huge nepenthes, they lost tracked from their main goal. To gathered the herbs. The map was lost and they did not know where were they at that moment as well.“we kept roaming around but it seemed like we do not have any progress”, uttered Des.Good thing she easily recovered from that day when the Nepenthes ate her alive. She awed her life to Lt. Dan for saving her. She knew, saying thank you was not enough. She tried her best to be not a burden on their journey.“yes, I notice that too”, Lt. Dan replied.“this forest seemed endless”, Des commented.They already forgot how many days they had been walking. All they knew was that it would take them longer time to go back to the campsite.“are you hungry?”, asked Lt. Dan.He noticed that Des looked pale. She needed to rest.“not really but I feel dizzy”, she replied.

 Des did not know what to after what she did. She knew that Ardie would not forgive her for what she had done. She immediately entered the car.“let us go Kuya Jan”, Des ordered the driver.“yes, Ma’am”, the driver replied.She couldn’t explain her inner feelings. She wanted to screamed and cursed but she tried to composed herself. She ran to her roomed and jump on her bed. When her faced touched the soft pillows. She felt comforted. Then, she started to cry. She burst out all her bitterness.Des did not notice how long she had been mourning. Few hours later, she heard a loud knocked from her door. She did not bother to respond to it. Her mind was so empty. The knocked did not stop. Instead, it was getting louder.“Des, open the door”, shouted the voice.“please, open it”, the voice asked again.She knew who was it. It was surely Ardie. Even though she was so mad

            Des wiped her tears as she remembered all the bitter memories she had before she left her home for the mission. People thought that she had the best life among all her friends.                As Des senses came back to the present time, she felt that her body started to ached and her skin started to become purple in color. She hopes that Lt. Dan would be able to come back as soon as possible. She tried to stood up but she couldn’t. Few hours had past and she begun to breathed heavily. It seemed like her heart was squeezed too tight. She felt like there were many pins poking her heart. “help, I need help”, she screamed.She had no choice but to crawled on the ground and got out from the cave. She felt like she couldn’t inhale any oxygen inside where she at, so she decided to came out f

Unfortunately, he failed to find him. As he headed towards the campsite, he couldn’t fine the way. He kept turning back to where he had started. Until, he felt that something was not right. He tried to walked as fast as he could, then unknowingly, something hard hit his head.Lt. Jim, woke up with a little bit of headache. He has so many questions in his mind that he wanted an answer. At that moment, he has to know his exact location. So, he stood up and breathed deeply.“where possibly am I?”, mumbled Lt. Jim.He looked around. He noticed that the place was mesmerizing. It was made of green fields. The trees have different shades of color. Then, he saw, a crystal-clear river. It looks like it has no end and no beginning. From a far, Lt. J

    Lt. Jim closed his eyes one more time and felt the cold water that touches his skin. Then, he got up and put his clothes on his body. As he was about to get out from the river, he heard a loud splashed from behind him. He immediately turned around and checked what was it. To his surprise, he saw a white horse struggling to swam in the river. Without hesitation, he saved the white horse from drowning. Lt. Jim used all his might and dragged the horse towards the river side.  The white horse had numerous wounds. There were three stuck arrows on its body.

Every time he pulls it, the horse moaned in great pain.“chill buddy, chill, you will be alright”, uttered Lt. Jim to the white horse.The horse looked in the eye of Lt. Jim. It s
