Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Lilac Kamiya's Amazon ❯ To Kill or Not To Kill: Chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )
2 weeks......
It was getting dark and fog was being to rise, but the group continued their walk through the bushes, careful and being on alert every step they took through...it. "It's quiet." Sora said. "Yeah...I'm begin to think that something is going on." TK replied quietly as he continued to look around him.
"Don't get paranoid you got to face things when they come don't think about what if's." Matt warned.
"Easy for you to say." He commented. They have been around the jungle for about what seemed like for ever but what was really only 2 weeks the was no question that they were lost...and had no Idea where they were going. 'Walking along this small river for so long...' TK thought.
Joe gasped...they turned to him. "What?" Sora asked "Look...if I'm not mistaken but there something hidden in the leaves." Joe walked toward the bush and uncovered it. "A boat." He answered they smiled. "This is good...I mean where there is a boat there must be some one.... here." Tai replied they nodded.
"Yeah...but we need some one to guard it...Matt." TK looked at his brother, as did the others. "What? I'm not staying here by myself! Just because I'm crippled is it!" he cried. "No one thought that." Sora said. "Sure." He said angry. Tai gathered a bunch of sticks he set them in front of Matt. "Set a fire animals are scared of fire." He said to him.
"Yeah.....yeah I know." Matt said as he gathered pile of sticks and laid them out in a circular fashion. "Okay here." Tai tossed him the lighter. "Don't lose it we will be back." He replied.
****************
TK pushed the leaves back and walking through Sora, Tai and Joe followed they cautiously looked around the forest.
"There's got to be some sign of life around here...if some guy came into the Amazon they he must have had a camp some where, and he must have had a way out too." Joe whispered. "Well I don't see any sign of a camp." TK answered.
They continued to walk in silence.... Tai smelt the air there was a stench. "Do you guys smell that?" he asked the three smelt the air.. "Awe.... your right." Joe cried he tired to sniff where the smell was coming from...he moved right into the bush... "Joe wait!" Sora cried TK kept going straight ahead...hadn't not heard Joe.
"It smells like decay...." Joe replied he ventured further...Sora ran passed him... "A radio!" she cried knelt down beside the big radio, picking up the transmitter.... she pressed buttons eagerly "Come in...." She called into the transmitter she listened there was a bit of static, she kept at it
"I'm going up.... I found a camp." He whispered to her and Joe and him went forward the looked around the camp site.... a few camouflaged jackets hung up on lines the smell had worsened as the two approached the tent.... the sound of flies buzzing around.
"Damn thing work." Sora kicked the radio angrily. "Stupid thing! Work!" she shouted angry, there was nothing coming from it... "Great." She looked around and followed where Tai and Joe had gone...to... she saw them..
"Guys..." she whispered she looked at the tent.... shocked a bit...Joe and Tai were walking around the out side. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"Joe won't go in..." Tai replied.... Sora waved her hand in front of her nose. "Eww.....this is gross...the smell it smell like something died." Sora replied.
Tai took the step forward opened the tent... "Ah.... shit.... what the...." he looked around.... blood...coved the table there was a pool of blood on the ground of the tent...that was form from the blood that dripped from the table...the blankets were messed. "Holy crap...what ever happened..." Joe trailed off.
Tai went into the tent...he saw a map picking it up. "Guys we might as well take some of this stuff." He replied looking at him...Sora looked sick Joe came into the tent and look around he picked up a flashlight. "We could use that...." Joe then looked over and picked up a compass.
Sora couldn't step any where near the inside of the tent... "Oh god.... I can't go in there." She replied covering her mouth. "Where's TK?" Tai questioned. Sora looked around her... "I don't know..." Sora went back to where the radio was.
..............................
TK kept going he stopped feeling that no one was with him...he turned around. "Tai....Sora.....Joe?" he called...he looked back and kept walking forward.
His foot got stuck under a root then tripping and falling flat on his stomach, he groaned raised his head his eyes slowly adjusted to what was in front of him...his eyes widened he started to freak... a human skull.... "My god, my god....." he scramble to get up he kept slipping he then noticed he was standing on a pile of bones....a lot of them. "AAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" He screamed and took off.
.....................
He was running for his life 'oh my god...' kept running through his mind as in a few seconds he was stopped by some one who grabbed him and clamped a hand over his mouth. Shaking he tried to bite who ever it was.
"TK! Get a hold of yourself! Did you want to tell the entire place to know were we are!" Tai cried, Sora, Joe watched him concerned. "MY GOD WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!" he cried. "What's the matter you looked like you seen a ghost!" Sora said as she watched him carefully.
".... There.....were tons...of bones..." he replied shakily.
"Come on get a grip Don't freak out like that we won't get far if those guys that Matt said where barbaric animal god now's what they'll do if they found out that five of us were around." Tai warned him. "Okay! I get it, all right." He answered.
"Okay good." Tai replied, he looked at the stuff they had in their hands... "Come on we got to get what ever we can get from the tent...I have a feeling who ever was there gotten eaten or killed." Joe said Sora nodded. "Okay guys let's just go get what ever could be useful."
The four then went toward the camp...Sora pulled off the Jacket from the clothesline. Tai had found a flash light it worked still to which was good thing...he gave it to TK.
*************
Matt turned at every little small noise...until he heard what he feared the most to hear....the growling of animal....it was near him...Matt stood up. "Get away!" he warned it, it only growled slightly...the bushes stirred around him. "BACK OFF!" Matt shouted.
Matt stuck a stick into the fire...he waited for the stick to catch fire...then took it out of the flames.... he waved it around the area. Matt kept his eyes on the look out.
From the corner he saw a flash of black he turned to face it. 'Nothing. What was that...dose it enjoy to play bloody mind games?' he thought worried and yet angry at the same time. The flame on the end of his stick went out...smoke came from it a bit he then put it into the flames again.
"Come out cat." He replied he stood up next to the fire the stick in his hands holding it in a protective stance.
"Matt." Tai and the other's came...he put his guard down... "Look we have to move there's a panther around that sounds hungry...I'd rather not stick around and find out." He answered to them... "Okay but first we found a camp.... it was deserted." Sora replied.
Matt looked at the stuff.... "Boot grease?" he asked. "Yeah.... we could put it on or faces...for camouflage." Joe said, Matt nodded "Good Idea." He opened the small can taking his finger he swiped it over the black substance...he close his left eye and put a streak of boot grease on...
Then making another streak under his left eye.... Sora dipped her finger into the black substance also...then applying to her face as well.
"TK your turn Sora held up the small container to him. "No thanks....." he replied looking at his brother then to Sora. "Come on it's a good Idea." Tai said he then copied the print on Sora's face because it did look pretty cool.
Joe and TK looked at each other. "Maybe to you guys this is a good Idea but...I don't want my face painted with grease." Joe said. "Okay fine....I'll keep it in my pocket for now." Matt said as he put the container lid back on and closed it then into his pocket it went.
"Come on." Matt said the lead the way through the forest.... they suddenly heard a scream from there left. "We have to see who is there! They could be in trouble." He said then ran through the brush Joe followed the other three stayed back. "Matt Wait!" Tai called, She and Tai responded and took off, Tai followed her. "Sora wait a minute." He called after her.
TK was left there alone once again..... "Great...they leave me behind..." he went to followed them.
***********
Joe came to a halted beside Matt who was looking at something. "Matt what is it?" he asked. "Look...a guy he's tied to a pole." He replied.
"What that's insane..." Joe stopped mid-sentence. He kept muttering something they couldn't understand. "What's he saying?" Matt questioned.
Tai, Sora then TK arrived to the scene now. "We should help him." Sora said she went to go but Matt grabbed her arm.... "Sora it's a trap." He whispered, Sora pulled her arm away from him... "He's a human being Matt! You can't just leave him there!" she shouted. Tai put his hand over her mouth. "Sora shh." He whispered to her.
"Well I'll back you guys up." TK said he grabbed a stick, they watched the man.... "Come on they aren't coming back..." Joe got up approached the man. "We here to help you!" he said to him as the man looked at him terrified. Matt came out and started to help Joe out. "OH my god!" Joe cried out.... "What?" Matt asked.
Joe shook his head in disbelief. "They....cut his eat off!" he cried the left side of the mans face which they couldn't see because it was dark and the rain pouring didn't make it any better...blood ran down his face on to his close.
The man rambled on.... over and over....in Spanish "Kill me please! Before they do."
"Joe come on.... they are coming!" Matt called to him panicked... "We can't just leave him here." Joe complained. "We have too.... he won't be any good.... if they find out that he's gone they will know that were out here." He cried...Matt pulled Joe away from there.. "Run!" Matt shouted to the three.
"What's why?" TK said to him. "No time come on!" he cried.
The rain poured down on them now...the five struggled to see as they ran through the bush.... it was wet. They all took cover behind a large tree, panting and exhausted the rain continued to pound from the sky.
The heard pain stricken screams, they all closed there eyes knowing well what had happened visible ill and shaken and scared. "I don't want to be here any more." Sora threw her arms around Tai...and began to cry...TK looked away from Sora who was crying. "I used to like horror films not any more...I'm living one in real life." He exclaimed quietly.
"I wanted to help him...why didn't you let me help him!" Joe shouted angry at Matt. "It was out of your hands! He was goner either way!" he replied angrily
Joe took his glasses off and wiped them of the best he could. "Okay.... look were all testy...at time okay...I'm sorry...I'm not used to this..." he replied to them. "We all aren't." Tai said as he held Sora in his arms....
Morning....
Sora was first to wake up.... she looked around...her clothing was soaked from the rain that night the sun was out and the birds sung, she sat there 'Nice bloody day' she thought bitterly. Sora heard faint rustling in the bush then saw a flash of skin colored clothing.
"hmm...someone's...around." she got up and took the stick that was in TK hands.
Quickly ran after who ever that was who was spying on them.
