Chapter 5 Hatchet Novels & Stories

Winona shook her head at Carl and also mouthed the word ‘no’ toward him with her finger over her mouth. He just nodded. “Well, we have to get you down, and if there are still gators around here, then we have to be very careful…not to mention snakes.” “Snakes?” Amber asked. “Why didn’t the helicopter come back?” Carl looked at her. “The trees…I’m sorry, but it would have been too dangerous.” She looked down and gulped. “So, who goes first?” “Katie.” Jessica said.

I knew very well I have a button on my bed to call for nurses, but because I'm a stubborn idiot I prefer to drag myself out of the room with a nightgown on me and my bare feet. I walked through the hallway to find the elevator. After I find it, I call it and wait for it to go down, where Ralph said he was moving me, thinking he will be there. I saw myself in the elevator mirror, and I was shocked to see how many cuts I had on my arms and bruises on my face. I had a big white bandage on my head, my hair was a mess, and I was looking like a disaster. I let my body rely on that wall from my back, and I'm thinking now that nobody was there when I get up. I could die in this car crash, and I had

There, nestled amidst the towering trees, stood a humble hut, smoke billowing from its chimney into the night sky. Relief washed over me, a tidal wave of emotions crashing against the shores of my weary body. For a moment, the pain in my abdomen was forgotten as joy coursed through me. I had found it—the place I believed to be Elara's hut. I vowed never to make such a risky journey anymore. With cautious steps, I approached the hut, my eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger. The faint sound of crackling fire reached my ears, and I quickened my pace, my heart pounding in my chest.

“So? Will you tell us now?” “Let’s get back to the tent first,” I muttered. “I’ll explain there.” Once inside the makeshift shelter, Vhina handed me my hydro flask. I snatched it, gulping the water and taking a deep breath before telling them everything we saw. Ritchelle turned pale at first, then she burst into tears, collapsing against Vhina, who remained oddly calm. “We’re all gonna die here,” Ritchelle whimpered. “They’ll kill us before anyone comes to rescue us!”

I hurried into the forest with the intention of walking around until dark. As the sun started to set, I made my way to the stream that ran along the east side of the forest. I slowly scanned my surroundings before rolling in the shallow water. The slimy mud had helped mask my scent these last few weeks that I slept outside of Scarlett’s room. When I was fully coated, I carefully made my way back to Scarlett's house. I quickly climbed a tree before settling back against the trunk.

My legs felt weak, unused to the sudden force for movement, but I forced myself to stumble forward. The howls grew louder behind me as I pushed through the thick trees, my breath coming in sharp gasps. The icy wind stung my cheeks, and my heart pounded so hard it felt like it might burst from my chest. The moonlight was my only guide as I turned sharply to the left, hoping to lose them in the dense forest. My eyes caught on a jagged branch lying in the snow, and I scrambled toward it, panting as I reached for the makeshift weapon.

The order could send another squad after this guy. I passed by some humans dancing and one man groped me as I was trying to pass by, without thinking I shoved his hand away, hearing a loud crack as I broke his hand. He screamed in pain. Whoops looking behind me, the Prince Dagon gained on me, forgetting the human, I bolted out of the door and headed down the street and into the forest, to my sisters who I knew were nearby, since we had set an ambush up nearby. Thana stood in the branches of a nearby tree, waiting with four of our squad in similar positions around us.

There, I barely saw the army, trained by the old hag! I look away and flow so fast to restraint myself to stop and landed in the mountain. I said, reminded myself, “That's why makes sure to be strong and must powerful to comeback home, Encrinch!” Just before the sun's rise, we reach the gloomy forest. Misty seems to be filled with reminisce and couldn't stop saying, “I wonder if my fate is right in that place. I'm so excited!” I let her be, and cautiously look the gloomy forest. I ask as I felt like eyes is everywhere, “Is this place really this eerie?”

Lena's brain froze for several seconds, her finger pointing at herself, "Me... mine?" "Um." James went upstairs. Lena found it funny that if Hunter had really listened to her, he would have taken her to see Mr. H. Thinking of Mr. H, she would feel a bit of resistance towards the person lying down. Mr. H was so good, did nothing, Hunter's disgust towards him was simply inexplicable. Hunter's brow furrowed tightly, as if he were dreaming. Dreamt of a bottomless abyss swamp, dreamt of many poisonous insects slowly crawling up from the feet, the person above said, it was to build courage, because the place he was going to in the future was a hundred times more terrifying than here.

.......... Evaki ......... I open my eyes to the shrieking sounds of birds and the rustling of trees as they celebrate the dawn of a new day. A victory smile makes its way onto my face. It's morning, and I made it. But my back says not so fast. I groan in pain, clutching my stomach as I sit up. My bones hurt from sleeping on the floor, and the bed of leaves didn’t help much. I hear the sound of tree branches and leaves cracking, and I know someone is coming. And just then, the branches that were used to seal the hut are opened, and I know I have to get out. I get up and head towards the exit, and I find the two women waiting for me. They show me the way, and I start to walk, the older one wa
