Chapter 22 - Jennifer Begins to Feel Something for Jack

Jennifer was not sleepy, so instead of lying there she stood up, "Where are you going?" Kevin asked.

"I am not sleepy, I am going towards the river, I will sit there for a while", she said and left the camp.

After a while, Kevin took the candles, needles, and voodoo doll and started chanting while sitting in camp. In his mind he imagined hurting someone who had that particular doll, he was not aware of the fact that Stella is sleeping with the doll.

In Jack's camp, Stella and Jack were sleeping. Kevin started inserting the needle into the voodoo doll's foot. While sleeping Stella felt uncomfortable, she woke up and got out of her sleeping bag. She looked at her foot, this time instead of shouting she started searching for the insect. But found no one.

Jennifer was walking towards the river but she stopped and started thinking about Jack. She wanted to go there with Jack. She started missing the moment when Jack held her hand, when Jack looked into her eyes, she decided to go back and ask Jack to join her.

Meanwhile, Kevin inserted the needle in the voodoo doll's leg and Stella shouted. Jack woke up and saw Stella who was in pain. "What happened? The insect?" Jack asked.

"I don't see I can't see any insect but it hurts, ah my leg", Stella started weeping.

"Stella don't let me see", Jack stood up and sit near Stella. "Please stop crying Stella", Jack said and started looking at Stella's foot, and soon observed a red pinpoint hole which was bleeding.

"Oh no, it's some kind of infection I think, or skin allergy many, I don't know " Jack was worried.

Kevin inserted a need in the chest of the voodoo doll, he was consistently doing it. This time he wanted to kill Jack so he started touching the needlepoint on the voodoo doll's neck, and he started scratching her neck.

"Jack! It hurts, ouch!" she said and touched her neck.

"Where? Show me!"

The same spot was on Stella's neck, Jack withdrew a tube from his bag pack, "what is this?" Stella asked. This is anti-allergic, you might feel better.

Then Jack started applying the cream on Stella's foot, then on her leg, and when he came close to her neck to apply the cream, but soon Jennifer entered, "What? Jack! you should have told me before", she said in an emotional tone.

Kevin heard her voice and immediately put all the things aside and covered them.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Jack shouted.

"There is no need to shout! I think it was my mistake, I always asked you about Alizy but forgot to ask about Stella, after all Stella is also your childhood friend, and it is pretty normal to develop feelings for her", she said and left the camp.

She ran towards the river, there was no one, but an empty boat, maybe that boat was for someone who had an emergency, Jennifer sit in the boat and started moving the pedals, she heard Jack's voice who was consistently calling her but she didn't stop and kept on moving the pedals, it was night, only the moonlight was helping her to see in dark, she kept on weeping, at one point she stopped moving the boat, she got tired, she was in the mid of river, the trees looked more terrifying at that hour.

She heard something, as if someone was calling her, "Jack?" she thought and looked around and found no one.

Someone called her again, she looked towards the forest, and consistently started looking there, she was unable to look anywhere else, it felt as if someone is captivating her to look there. Immediately she came back to her senses. She was frightened.

She thought about going back, she tried to turn the boat but it was of no use, she felt as if someone else is controlling the boat, she was trying to move the pedals backward but it was of no use.

She took her phone out of her pocket and dialed Jack's number, at this time he was the only trustworthy person. The call was not connecting due to a signal problem, she kept on calling, and suddenly he picked up the call.

"Hello? Jack! Jack! listen to me!" she cried, but no one responded.

"Jack, am I audible? Why are not you speaking?" She shouted, then she heard a voice as if someone is whispering, and then she heard a sound as if a girl is giggling, but the point was that the voice is not coming from the phone.

She disconnected the call and felt as if someone is sitting behind her, she turned around, but no one was sitting behind her.

"Who is there?" she shouted.

No one responded, then the pedal of the boat started moving on its own. She bent down and turned her eyes close, soon she felt that the boat was stopped.

She opened her eyes and saw a board in front of her, it was written "Embarcadero Cuemanco" on that, and she reached that destination.

she got out of the boat, and looked at her phone she got ten missed calls from the jack, and two missed calls from Andy. She ignored them and called her mother.

"Mom I am back from the trip, but instead of coming back home I am going to grandma's house, I am feeling tired so that mountainous area will help me, I might feel refreshed", she said to her mother.

"But why you are going there? Is everything okay?" she asked.

Jennifer tried to speak but she disconnected the call, her mother called her again, "Jenny? What happened my love?" she asked.

"Mom, everything is fine, I am just missing grandma", She tried to smile.

"Oh, it's okay then, if you need anything, do let me know", her mother replied.

After giving the driver the address, Jennifer got in a cab and they drove out in that direction.

On the island, Stella's condition got miserable, "You rascal! I know you did something with my Stella!", Kevin shouted at Jack.

"Stop blaming, Kevin", Andy said.

Jack was just worried about her friend Stella, she couldn't breathe properly, he ran towards the river to find the boat, but at that hour there was no boat, so he decided to come back to the camp.

They didn't sleep, and decided leave, while packing the bag Jack saw the doll inside his sleeping bag, he was shocked to see that and said to Andy, "Andy look, our Stella started loving the dolls".

"Oh, I think she might be missing Alizy, that's why she took the doll with her", Andy replied.

"Stella slept with the doll?" Kevin shouted.

"Yes, she slept in my sleeping bag, and while rolling the bag I found this doll", Jack replied.

"No, no, no", Kevin shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes", Jack added.

"Damn it, how is this possible", Kevin cried.

"Now you are overreacting", Jack said.

"What happened Kevin? Why are you behaving like this?" Andy asked.

Kevin didn't reply and just kept on looking at Stella, Stella's hand was on her chest, and she was unable to breathe properly, while standing at the edge of the river they were waiting for the boat to arrive, early in the morning a boat with a number of passengers arrived.

They asked the sailor, that they wanted to go back. After reaching Embarcadero Cuemanco's point they immediately took a taxi and headed towards the hospital.

"It's not possible I cannot do so, no it must be a mistake, not my mistake but", Kevin thought.

The doctor examined Stella and asked the nurse to admit her. Andy called Stella's parents as well.
