Gavin - Survive On The Terrible Island
Chapter 18's

" srekk." came the sound of friction of leaves from behind the bushes moving in front of us..

" bro.. Did you see that ? " said nico slowly retreating from his seat with his eyes wide open

" yes, check what's behind the bushes.. "

" hiih.., I don't dare bro.. What if there's a ghost or undead like you told me before coming out from behind those bushes ? "

" tsk!.., you do not make it up. keep your words, because every bad word you say may be a plea in this forest.. "

" no, my God. I cancancel my words. I beg god "nico join his hands like a man who is offering a prayer.

" haa. you are this.. "

sighing I walked forward to check what was behind the bushes.

" bro.., careful.. "

I don't feel good, but I hope nothing happens for now..

stepping slowly while being on standby to pull the sword at my waist, I exposed the bushes with both hands...

" sat. cit.. "

A rat came out from behind the bushes as I approached it.

thankfully it was only a rat. but even though the rat also looked strange.large rat with a length of about 70cm.if it was seen in the city surely people would be frightened to see it

" uh bro..? you're back.., is there something behind the bushes ? "

" you're such a coward, it's just a rat.. "

" ooh, mouse yes. kirain what was. hahaha hehehe.., who said I was afraid.. "

" huh.., you're full of shit... "

" but bro. isn't that weird? "

" you mean ? "

" how can a mouse move such a thicket ? "

" it was indeed a mouse, its large size. Its body length was probably about 70cm "

" hiih.., how is there such a big mouse.., "

cih.., this guy just said he wasn't scared, but now he's starting to curl up like a tringgiling.

" we're in the woods, chances are you'll see something bigger than that.. "

" no. if it was bigger I couldn't imagine if I'd been eaten by that rat"

" i've.., better.you just sleep, I'm disturbed by your noise.. "

" jiah bro.., understand me. I do not have the courage like you. see the fog around me alone I still feel threatened.. "

strange, I still feel a very uncomfortable air here..,

at 23:55pm.., I really can't rest now.if I sleep I'm afraid no one is keeping us safe.

" grok.., shuh.."

this nico.., he said he was most frightened, but look at how he fell asleep like this.

" vinn. "call a woman to walk up to me..

" what's up, marissa ? you're not sleeping ? "

" i can't sleep, I don't know why I'm so nervous tonight.. "

" huumm ? are you thinking about something ? "

"of course.., in a place that's such a pain like this how can I calm down "

" come here and sit down, "I said patting the taro leaves that I had prepared for him to sit

" thank you, " answered Marissa sitting next to me.

" so.., do you want to tell me about something ? "

" vinn.., you have to be careful with doni.., "

" humms ? why is that ? "

" i heard that I was planning something with allan and Cindy.. "

" be calm.., so I just need to stay alert right ? "

" after all.., I was on my guard with the three men, especially after he tried to attack me.. "

" yes, I was very surprised to see him attacking you.. "

" but sa.., I see like there's something between you. It's like he's very possessive of you.., does he have a relationship with you ? "

" uhh ? ti..no. I only know him. we are tied to the hehe business "

judging from his suspicious body language, he was definitely lying to me. But why was he trying to lie to me?

" well, if you say that then I'll believe "

" ummm. "he answered nodding his head

" this cold is getting so. I feel like I'm going to freeze.. "

when viewed from the clothes he was wearing, he definitely felt that way..

" this, wear it. It'll make you a little warm "I gave the tiger skin I made into a scarf on him.

" uh.., thank you, yes.I feel warm "he said shyly while holding the scarf with both hands.

" thank God if you like.. "

" a. I like it really "

damn.., I pretently gave it to him, but I myself was also cold wearing this shirt.

haa.. , but considering my father's words to protect women.uuhh this survival enthusiast father has been helping me since childhood..

" don't., don't bother me bro. I'm so sleepy right now." nico sounds like mumbling behind me..

I heard that, then turned back to see what he was really doing..

" bro.., I said I was so sleepy..!? "

a black hand was purging was walking on nico's face..

" nico.., wake up.. ! " i shouted while kicking his butt slowly

" haaaa.., that's scary.. ! " cried marissa as she saw the piece covering nico's face

the hand piece was from the wrist with his fingers.it was twice as big as the palm of my hand.

" uh bro... What's up ?? " slowly nico opened his eyes and. "hiiihhh ! " he threw the hand off his face.a slight scratch spewed blood from nico's face

" hiih.., what is a creepy bro. hiiih "nico wriggled his body goosebumps then ran to my side..

" it's a hand piece that came out of nowhere.. "

" haaah ! " sounds of screaming from the girls' place as well

" dang. let's get there quickly "

I saw rara and clara running in fear approaching me.

" what's up, ra ? "

" it was like I saw a creepy figure from behind a tree there . "pointing toward the tree in front of the resting place..

" i too, sis, I saw the figure move from tree to tree quickly.. "

" did you see the form of the figure you mentioned ? " i asked rara and clara..

" hmm., it's not so obvious brother.it's because he's in the dark.. "

" yeah vinn.., I saw like both of his eyes were big. His body was not so tall, he ran very fast when I saw him "

I held my chin while thinking about the creature they were talking about, and another hand crept on nico's face.

" vinn.., what's going on this time ? "

marissa asked with an anxious face to me..

" haih.., I still feel goosebumps imagining that hand crawling on my face.. "

" hummm, it looks like this place is no longer safe for us.. ?? " clara said standing next to me

" from the beginning there is indeed no safe place for us to be on this island.., if out of the forest meet with pirates.if it remains in the forest we will face the creatures of the forest inhabitants.. " I said to them

" are we over ? "

when Clara said that, all the faces gathered here looked so sad..,

" wait.., where's Cindy?, I don't see adit, allan and doni either ? "
