Chapter 6

Trapped in the Unknown

The following morning, the group set out to explore the surrounding area. As they walked, they noticed that the jungle seemed to be thinning out, and the trees were becoming more spaced out. They walked for several more hours until they came across a small village. The village was unlike anything they had ever seen before. It was made entirely of wood, and the houses were built in a circular pattern around a central area. The villagers seemed friendly enough, but they spoke a language that the survivors could not understand. The group was relieved to have found people and approached the villagers cautiously.

Suddenly, a group of armed men emerged from the woods, shouting and pointing their weapons at the group. The villagers quickly scattered, leaving the group alone and vulnerable. Before they could even react, the armed men captured them and dragged them away. The armed men lit some mysterious plant on fire the smoke made everyone unconscious.

When they opened their eyes the survivors found themselves in a bustling city with beautiful pyramids and canals filled with water. Markets filled with people where the survivors saw many exotic plants and animals. The carriage carrying the survivors reached an open field there they were sold as slaves. The man who bought Abdullah and the other survivors was very harsh with them. As the days passed, the survivors were forced to work hard, chopping down trees and carrying heavy loads. They were treated like slaves, and the natives showed them no mercy. Abdullah, Muaz, and Maha were separated from the other passengers and were forced to work together, each day becoming harder than the last.

Despite their dire situation, Abdullah and Maha found solace in each other's company. They would sneak away whenever they could, sharing their thoughts and hopes for the future. Abdullah realized that he had fallen in love with Maha, and he knew that he had to find a way to save her and the others.

One night, while the natives were sleeping, Abdullah and Muaz hatched a plan to escape. They knew it would be dangerous, but they had no other choice. They woke up the others and quietly made their way out of the camp. As they ran through the jungle, they could hear the natives shouting and chasing them. The group ran for their lives, not stopping until they were sure they were safe.

Finally, they collapsed on the ground, exhausted and relieved. They knew they had to find a way out of the jungle and back to civilization, but they also knew that they had to stay alert and prepared for whatever dangers lay ahead. The survivors were determined to make it home, no matter what it took.
