The Lost Scouts - Part 3

He fell unconscious, but could sense someone dragging him by his two foot and two hands. He woke up with a start. There stood a toothless shabby guy with an evil-looking smile.

He was in trouble.

As he started to panic, he heard a LOUD call. ‘John! John!’ someone said. He half-expected to find himself in bed. But, no, this was the reality, not a dream. He heard the toothless guy say in a whisper ‘What do we do? Run?’ as the calls continued. ‘No. Drop him. We’ll get back to them later. I know where they’ll end up. I am sure of that.’ replied another person. It was then that John realized that there was another person, probably an accomplice. He felt himself being dropped in the ground.

Someone came nearer. His vision became firmer, they were John’s team who were calling loudly to John. There was someone with them. That person looked helpful.

‘We were in the station when two guys came and hit you in the back. You were a little far away from us; they probably thought you were all alone. They dragged you to this forest. We followed them; we didn’t dare show ourselves. Then we called out to you, hoping you’d gain consciousness. You did. We have a good news and a bad news. The good news is that we had found this kind person on our way in the woods who is allowing us to stay in his inn for lost campers in the woods free of charge.  The bad news is that we are lost in the woods.’ explained Emily, gesturing towards the other man. ‘His name is Mr. Smith.’ she added.

‘OK. Let’s move to my hotel. It’s not far away.’ said Mr. Smith.

‘Do you have a mobile phone or something?’ asked John, as Mr. Smith led the way.

‘Yes, but there is no network in this area. Also, I know the way to my inn, but not out of the woods.’ he replied grimly.

They walked for about half an hour while John guiltily followed since all had been his fault.

‘Here it is...’ Mr. Smith said.

It was a big hotel with five floors and at least 50 rooms.

As they entered, John had a creepy thought that the hotel looked like the ginormous old-fashioned mansions in horror movies.



A sneak peek of next part:

‘Poor Mr. Smith! He died saving us! We might end up the same way if we don’t come up with a brilliant idea! Wait... I have an idea! Mind you, it is truly crazy! But anything better than dying, right?

  1. Please check out next week Tuesday for the next part.
    Hope you enjoy it.
    Have any ideas on what would happen now?
    Feel free to leave them in the comments 😉.

    Thankfully, John is OK. Well, but not yet safe. Though he has shelter, he is nowhere close to escaping the woods! As the sneak peek already points out, the scouts are gonna be in mortal danger! Just comment for the plan to work out and share since each share is like a support to the Kangaroo Scout Group. 🙃

    Thank you,
    Atreyo 😀
