Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Alexia was having a nightmare, she thrust herself side to side as tears fall from her eyes.

Hey, beautiful, hey, Beauty, you should...

Xander!!! Alexia shouts out of her sleep, Beck looks at her. Oh! It's a dream. She said wiping her face.

Are you alright? Beck asked, she shakes her head and move slowly into Beck's arm, she rest her head on his shoulder.

I am scared, so scared that we were killed here. He gasped.

Nothing will happen to us, I am sure that, the rescue team will get to us soon and we will be saved, so you have nothing to worry about.

When are we moving to the other side of the jungle? Alexia asked, Beck look at her. Come on, let's start moving, so that before the sun sets, we must have gathered wood for our new shelter. I am excited. Beck smiled, she is like a woman in her trimester, she switched moods all the time, one minute she is sad, happy, crazy; cold... He really can't tell.

But...

No, but let's go fast before the sunset, come on. Alexia pack some of their stuff, which is their canned food that is left with very few canned water, while Beck also packs some important things, like the swear and penknife.

You are happy, right? Beck asked.

Of cause, I am super excited. She walked ahead of him, she hummed, but unfortunately, she misses her step.

Aw! She screamed as she rolled into a rope like wood, which tangled her. Beck wasn't fast to catch her. Aw! She screamed trying to get out of it.

Don't move!!! Beck yelled, Alexia, closed her eyes in fear. This is a deadly rattan, the more you struggle, the more useless it becomes and you get trapped more. Let me try. Beck used his penknife to cut it, Alexia gasped as she try to catch her breath, Beck's eyes run in circles, and he could hear sound.

What is...

Watch your back. Beck yelled as he dodge the arrow spear at him while Alexia turned, the arrow went straight to the tree with different arrows coming from different angles, Beck grabbed Alexia's hand as they run, and more of the tribesmen kept running after them, Beck realized that if they keep running they might get hurt.

You should run. He yelled at Alexia.

Handsome!! She called.

I said run. He yelled at her, and as he fought back, Alexia refused to run, she watched him fight with the men, they just have some pieces of leaf over their private parts. He was able to get a spear from one of them, and that was what he was using, he used it to fight, Alexia watch as they fought, one he pin the spear between his legs.

Aw! The man screamed, as Alexia burst into laughter, Beck turned and look at her, she had no idea what they are into, and that is the reason, she had time to laugh.

I told you to run, what are you still doing here? He pulled her as he speak.

Urg! One of the females jumped from up, pinning her spear to the floor as she stood in front of them ready to fight, Beck sighed inwardly, it was obvious that more are coming, he used his two clenched fists to touch after waving one finger and pointing at her.

She didn't get any sense from it, she attack him, this time, Alexia knew they are in trouble, her tears just keep falling. Beck was fast to dodge the weapon in her hand, that is probably made from precious stones, giving him access to throw her, she stand firm and was rushing to Beck again with the weapon, she and Beck struggles with the weapon as she try to stab him with the weapon, the two fall, as they roll on the floor.

Handsome!!! Alexia yelled as panic clouded her whole being, coming to realize that they are dangerous and probably don't understand their language, the girl's eyes bulge out when she noticed that her head is going to hit a stone but Beck used his hand to support her head and roll her over and grabbed the knife from her hand, she shakes her head in fear as Beck pierce the knife to the floor and run as he saw more crowd he pulled Alexia's hand and run.

Alexia's tears didn't stop falling as she run.

Stop crying, I promise, I will save you. They haven't gone far when the men appeared in front of them, pointing spears, bows, and arrows at them right now surrounded, Alexia's hugged Beck tight as her tears wet Beck's chest.

Are they going to kill us? Alexia asks in midst of her tears, Beck really can't tell, he doesn't even know if they are more men in the trees or somewhere hiding just waiting to attack.

Beck gesture to them that they are not bad people and that they have no intention of attacking them, they are only lost in the jungle. The men look at it each other and argue baselessly, to Beck, it seems they were arguing and one of the men look like the leader's eyes redder and more deadly, Beck thought that was the leader but unfortunately it's not the leader, one was falling from one of the branches, Beck was fast enough to dodge him and fall to the floor.

He roared and then hit his two fists after touching his chest and pointing to Beck, Alexia looked at him in terror.

Relax! Is like he want to fight.

Fight? Alexia said in tears, she is hurting with everything happening around her.

Yes, just stay pulled. He move from Alexia, as he takes his stand in front of the man, and set to fight, the tribesman was first to hit him, causing him to fall to a wood, he wanted to hit Beck, he move from the wood and the tribesman clenched fist goes to the wood, Beck hit him on the back and throw him off his head, he grabbed Beck's jacket, pulling it off him, as they fight the other tribesmen screamed in excitement but Beck also had one of his possession, something like a wristband.

Alexia, in turn, screamed for Beck, Beck looked at her, she just closed her mouth, Beck would have laughed at the childish girl, he is with but no, they are in danger, the tribesman throw the shirt in anger, and rushed to Beck, the fighting continues, threw punches at each other, when the two ball fist meets, the tribesman withdrew it in anger, he was going to attack again when a spear was shoot in the middle.

Beck watches as the tribesmen make way from whoever throws that spear while Alexia runs to him.

They said a word in their language and then bow, probably acknowledging her as the Princess, she makes her way to Beck, and she placed the shackle around Beck's neck, Beck recognizes her, as the lady, he fought with previously.
