Gavin - Survive On The Terrible Island
Chapter 9's

“ what's wrong sister vinn ? “ Ask clara to me

“ what you mean by tomb is a tomb located between two old trees with large roots that creep under it ? “

“ Right Brother ? what happened to the tomb, brother ? “ the curious clara started to bring her face closer and opened her eyes wide staring seriously at me

Wait. don't have to be this close either. I can sweat cold this way..

An old tomb wearing slightly large natural stone markings above and below it. At that time I only briefly passed the tomb, but I felt an uncomfortable atmosphere around me..

Not to mention the mystery about the zombies that rose from the corpses has not been solved.

Given the bodies and tombs related to mystical things you should not have to take the risk to go there

“ brother.. how ? “ ask clara again . They were waiting for the answer to the question about the tomb while I was sitting thinking about it..

“ I..., having an unpleasant feeling about the tomb, the place looks haunted at a glance I passed by..

“ If so.. Should we go there as soon as possible to find them “ said marissa cut my words “ do you know the way there clara ? “

“ No..., I was very bad to remember the place and get to know the direction hehe “

At the end of Clara's reply she had been assured she did not know the way. Marissa's sharp gaze turned towards me

“ yes. if that place anyway, I know. I have one of the fastest way to get there. “

The tomb is in the southeast direction from here..

But.. in a dangerous place like this I have to walk by escorting two girls ?

I began to hold my breath closing my eyes and speaking in my heart..

(My shoulders will definitely feel heavy this time.. )

“ then, it is certain we leave now also “ marissa stood up from her seat and walked into the cave

He was indeed too quick to make a decision without thinking about the impact first..

“ That's how sis.. although marissa tends to act recklessly she has a warm and friendly nature “

When Clara said that to me, I felt her words were very contrary to what I was going through..

“ ooh... is that so ? “

I would love to believe the words of my sweet sister sitting next to me..

But the truth is it's all the opposite..

“ yes sis.., how did you first meet with marissa ? “

“ Yes.., quite silly.. “

“ Hihihi.. I've guessed it. surely he did something funny right ? “

“ Humm, funny. anyhow.at that time he was almost prey by a leopard.., I happened to hear his screams and then helped.. “

“Ooh ?! “ clara who heard it, shocked to close her mouth with her right hand ..

That was a reasonable reaction.., running from the pursuit of the undead was indeed muddying. But how to run from a predator that has speed running above humans ?

It's almost impossible..

“ That's so scary.., he must owe you his life.. “

If I answer he challenges me what is the reaction of Clara ?

“ let's pack guys.., “ marissa come with bring some wide leaves to pack leftover meat for stock..

“ vinn.., “

Without explaining it, I already knew..

“ yes I will cut it small.. “

We began to prepare to travel to the tomb site mentioned earlier

One of my worries was gone because they did not take a bath in the little river Marissa mentioned earlier..

I wish I could protect them and may luck be with us..

“ you guys ready ? “

“ Umm “ they nod assies

With the accompaniment of the sound of friction leaves in the trees that are blown by the wind from the west..

We began to set foot on the moist soil in a blanket of dry leaves..

Befriending the fog every day makes me accustomed to feeling the air pressure that continues to erode this mental..

“ Are we still far vinn ? “ marissa asked me by rubbing her forehead that was covered in sweat from exhaustion

I raised my left hand parallel to my chest to look at the direction of the compass..

“ should be three to forty minutes more we will arrive.. if it keeps going like this “ I replied on marissa “ are you tired ? “

On the left side I turned to see Clara with a gasp wiping her face that was originally wet with sweat..

I think it's best to rest for a while, but time has shown at 21:00 pm. My gut feeling is bad if we have to arrive at the tomb by midnight..

And as if to answer my thought Clara said...

“ is fine brother.. It is better we continue the journey. I am worried if we get to midnight there “.

“ how about you marissa ? “ My Lake

“ I'm fine.. let's go on “

“ okay.. “

Indeed, not long ago I was with Marissa. He actually hid his weak and vulnerable self..

But it is his determination that makes him strong..

I saw a stream of water formed like a moat that extended with clear-looking water under the hill in front of us..

Slowly down the hill I led them to stop for a moment to grab some water to drink..

“ you must be very thirsty.., let's stop for a moment to drink water there. “ show me heading forward.

“ hmm.. well.. I also feel very thirsty. “ said marissa resting her breath panting standing bent over with both hands pressing on the knees.

“ yes sis.., my mouth also feels very dry.. “

“ okay.. come.. “

I led them to check this clear-looking stream of water..

the depth is only about a meter.. The water is clear and does not smell of mud at all..

under the water's depth, I could see clean rocks and gravel with no moss at all..

I started to take it for me to drink.., the sweet and cold taste when touching the throat..

“ You drink. This water is safe.. “

“ Umm. okay brother “

Clara began to take water with both hands and drink it slowly..

Although this forest is creepy, it is still lucky to find many sources of water to drink..

I don't know for sure, maybe this forest is a tropical rainforest given the rainfall that occurs..

After we stopped for a drink, we continued on our way up a small hill in front of us..

Passing through the thick and two-meter-high field of weeds. The me in front slowly opened the way for us to pass..

There was nothing else but another line of trees that we met after passing through the sea of thatch..

But this time I had a bad feeling, like a pair of eyes were watching us from behind the trees..

“ Roar ! “
