Chapter 5 - Chapter 4: New mates

'Tch not again' thought Ruis to himself as he felt a warm breeze hitting his face.

'Eh, this isn't London!!' he couldn't believe what he was looking at right now.

There was lush greenery around him. Mango trees, banana trees and so many other different types of vegetation he had never seen before. Small rabbits were moving about while butterflies moved around from flower to flower.

He was in the middle of some kind of forest.

'at least I got out of that horrid cold and soggy London weather '

Ruis looked around, he was in between a tall and healthy mango tree and another tree had never seen before. 'So this is where mangos grow, should I get some?. ' He thought to himself.

Ruis soon decided that being stuck in the middle of nowhere and having nothing to eat won't do him any good.

So he began climbing the tree. He surprisingly was good at climbing, though he had never done it before. He gripped the somewhat fragile branches and hoisted himself slowly to the nearest mango in range. He plucked a good number of them. 'I guess they do look ripe. There is a strong smell coming from them.' He remembered his mom telling him about the way to identify if a mango was ripe or not. He held the mangos against his belly with one hand as he thought of a way to get down from the tree.

*crack

The dried leaves were making this sound as someone was walking on them, a couple of feet away from the mango tree that Ruis was on.

" How long must we walk Brody?". A girl's scared voice hit Ruis's ears. She spoke with an accent.

"I don't know Nadia. We have to find a place to stay.".

As Ruis stretched to look between the leaves that covered his view. He saw a black male, he was around twenty, thought Ruis to himself. He then glanced at the supposedly scared girl.

She was a white female, blonde hair. She was around Ruis's age.

'What are they doing here in this place where there's absolutely no one.' He debated whether he should ask about this place he was stuck in. But he chose not to see they were equally lost as he was.

" Do you think we will meet other people ?" whispered the girl to the boy who was standing next to a massive rock looking around his surroundings.

Ruis who couldn't hear anything tried to stretch more.

*crack

*Branch cracking

*Thud

Ruis managed to land on the ground with only minor discomfort in his upper legs. ' Fuck, suddenly it just gave out'

"THE FUCK, WHO ARE YOU " shouted the boy who pushed the frightened girl behind him.

'" I don't mean any harm please, I.was was picking up some mangoes, see"

Ruis pointed to the many mangoes laying on the ground beside him.

"WHERE ARE YOU FROM FIRST" the boy asked.

'London, I swear I have no idea how I reached her. First I was teleported to some weird hall. Then the weird horse creature told us about some culling, then we took to that room...'

"Oh so you are is a boarder yourself. You are one of us. We haven't seen anyone in a long time too so we have to be cautious. Sorry about that. The names Brody. James Brody. HAHA, just joking. My name is Brody Nwonkue and this scared little girl is Nadia Morozov, that's right ey, Nadia?"

She nodded slowly and flashed a cute smile.

'Oh thank god. Nice meeting both of you.' I shook their hands ' I knew it seemed awkward shaking someone's hand in the middle of nowhere.' My name is Ruis Valladares. So what are we supposed to do now.'

"Survive" Brody answered as he gripped my hand and looked up at the dark gloomy sky.
