This is what Daniel told himself as he struggled through the underbrush, eyes keen for food to forage. His belt bag already held wild green apples, small and more sour than sweet.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlBDrVvMPP
Group 5 had three people, three mouths to feed. The finder, the mapper, and the killer.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cnE350XTh
George the mapper had said there was a good fishing pond in this area. He hadn’t steered Daniel wrong yet.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wca64051M
Mosquitoes buzzed in the finder’s ears. He sighed audibly, something he would never do in front of the others. They would undoubtedly quote Rule 3, the lucky ones should never complain. Daniel hated Rule 3.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qdqbR75aM
The pond ended up being smaller than he expected. The finder rolled up his sleeves and waded into the murky water, fishing net in hand.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCwZ040OfK
While cornering a fat little fish Daniel heard a whisper from the trees above him. He froze, heart pounding. He clutched the coarse net nervously as he slowly looked up.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6mS34YwGI
An unlucky one. It was crouched in a branch, so covered in mud and leaves that it blended into the tree. The whites of its eyes were all that allowed Daniel to see it.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DVmsCu0uY
He stood stock still, remembering Rule 1. the lucky ones must never respond to an unlucky one. No matter what it said, he couldn’t speak back to it.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FYGHjqdob
He was afraid to blink, lest it suddenly jump out, or worse, disappear from sight.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxNKIBdP6d
The unlucky one in the tree whispered again, this time loudly enough for Daniel to hear. “Are you alone?”117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4SG4jG7We
He moved, splashing out of the pond in the direction of camp. He heard a grunt and the sound of foliage moving behind him. It’s following me.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yKTCyQ8Au
Daniel tore through the underbrush, finally breaking into a run at the edge of a field.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30U6r7XaoW
He was nearing camp when he heard it again, right on his heels. The voice was hoarse and ragged, a shout this time. “Listen to me! We need your help! The survivors all need to come together. . .”117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gvELbpKcO
Daniel didn’t register the rest, he had spotted Group 5. George was crouched over a fire and Kate was emerging from the tent.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FkegcbeGQ
As he ran the finder threw back his head and howled, signaling danger.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjRClvt7ZK
Kate immediately snapped into action, heading his way in a full sprint. The unlucky one whimpered and sounds of pursuit behind him ceased.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJBRw715PJ
As Daniel and Kate crossed paths, he breathed a sigh of relief. She would deal with it now.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULZo8ZEZC0
It was ten minutes before he and George heard the telltale sound of a gunshot.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQAaj99bfq
“That one took a while.” George was drawing up a new map, his brow furrowed in concentration.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVrrFtSbZC
“I think I lost my fishing net.” Daniel responded absently.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7DsLpF1OU
Without that net, he could not do his job, and his was the most important job. Without the finder, Group 5 would not survive in the wilderness.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbAzqQKzLC
