Chapter 24
Jake Pov:
The others were gliding through the air ahead of me, looking back the helicopter was still following. But, there were a total of 3 helicopters now, better use that. "Guys, I am talking through a com I installed on the suits. We have three helicopters following, probably one for each of us," I start.
"I want you all to line up in front of me, Hannah, I want you on top of Emma. At my signal, Emma, you fold your arms into a cross, Hannah, you hug Emma. You will enter a Dive, when you are around 20 feet max from the trees, you will reopen. You will enter the treeline and glide to the ground. The dogs will meet you, Ryder will lead you to the boat, alright?," I ask them.
"Copy," They say. With that they start getting into position and I make sure I am in between them and the helicopters.
"Go," I say. With that they dive, me following perfectly behind to hide them. Once they are hidden, I continue on flying, the helicopters clearly confused on where the others went. Most think the trees are to thick to enter, but not when you are going at the angle we are. That is why I timed it when I did.
Maneuvering quickly, I flipped over, still flying, and take out a hand gun. I was still around a hundred feet above the tree line. Doing the calculations, I pull the gun in front of me, Shooting the front and left helicopter. The pilots die instantly from the headshots. The front heli flies into the right, taking them all out.
With that, and no time to look, I extend my arms, and fly into branches. My wings are torn, and I am thrown off course. I manage to grab a tree, only to slip, though the branches break my fall and I go unconscious. When I come to, Ryder is licking my face and I hear, "He's over here."
Instantly afraid, I bounce up into a fighting stance, only to see Emma and Hannah, and fall. I bite in the pain that stings me as to not draw attention. Emma comes over and examines me and Hannah watches from beside her. "His right leg is broken, as is his left arm, and the right is out of socket," Emma tells Hannah. Great, just great.
"Find two branches and tie them to my leg. Then, take tatters of my suit and make me a cast. Also, get me one stick for my mouth," I say through gritted teeth.
They instantly shoot off as the dogs lick me, thinking it will heal. I just lay there as Emma comes back with a stick for my mouth that I bite down on. Next, she jolts my arm back into place earning a groan from me and a whimper from Ryder. Then she puts my arm in a cast as Hannah appears.
"Here," She says and they start to bandage my leg. When it is all said and done they help me to my feet. I wrap my right arm over Emma's shoulders to steady myself.
"Find me a walking stick if you can," I ask Hannah.
"Already got one," She replied revealing a sturdy stick I can use. Taking it I test it before nodding.
"Ok, follow me, we need to move, fast," I tell them. With that I start walking with the dogs, Emma, and Hannah. We head through the forest, making the most of our time. Though there were points when they had to help me get over or through some obstacles.
"We are almost there, up ahead there is a hidden inlet. The tree's cover it up along with part of the cliff. Inside there is a beach and my boat. We will take it and, according to my watch, leave at 23:00, 11 hours from now," I tell them as I limp in with them.
"What will we do after then?," Hannah asks.
"Simple, head to an island that no-one knows about. It is only reachable by following specific instructions to the letter. We will hide out there for a few years. When me and you turn 16 and Emma 14, we will come back. We will act like we got injured in the forest and lost our memories, only knowing our names and a little bit about ourselves," I respond.
"You act like you have done something similar before," Hannah replies.
"Maybe I have or I created a scenario like that, who knows. We should get settled," I replied as we head down to the ship.
Narrator Pov:
The characters are all split up, all over the place. One remains in isolation inside a cave. Two lovebirds are leaving for another island with a Former military man. A group of four knuckle heads are inside an abandoned Hobbit Hole village in the middle of the island. And a group of three are leaving to a island almost impossible to find.
How will our characters fare? An what will they be like when they return?
