Terrifying Nightmare.

Stella stood behind the tree, still under the influence of shock, tears were involuntarily pouring from her eyes, and what woke her up was the sound of other people coming.

Who came, it was a person with a mask too, but in a different shape.

As soon as they saw it, the others bowed their heads in greeting. Stella guessed that he was the leader of the group.

The masks of these men were rather gaudy, old-fashioned and covered only the upper part of the face.

One of them spoke to the commander and said, "Master, we have eliminated all the intruders, what are your next orders ?"

The language was understandable for Stella, but the dialect was different from the one in her homeland.

The man replied, "You did your job well. These enemies are not allowed to enter our territory, protecting it is the duty of all of us."

His voice was calm, but at the same time, it reflected strength.

He continued, "Remember well, if one day it happens and they enter our homeland, we will all be finished, and the ruin will come upon us as it happened before, we should not allow it to happen again."

His words were extremely hostile.

Stella silently watched with her hand over her mouth so as not to make any sound alerting them to her presence, but unfortunately, when she got a little closer to see what was happening, she broke a small branch, which made a sound.

At that moment, one of the men noticed that voice and told the other next to him, Stella knew that they were paying attention and were already approaching her, the blood froze in her veins from the intensity of fear, and the first thing she thought that she would die soon.

But after a moment of reflection, she noticed a group of sparrows on the branches of the tree above her, without hesitation she decided to make them fly.

She calmly grabs a small pebble next to her and throws it over the top to hit the twig, as the two approach her and prepare their weapons, the sparrows fly off as Stella had planned.

One of them said, "Oh, it was just sparrows."

Stella was holding her breath so that no one would find out about her, she not sure that this trick would work, especially with people like them, aware of all the details of the forest and its places, their senses must be very good.

Suddenly she heard someone else's voice, he spoke angrily with the two men, "What are you doing here ? Stop procrastinating, we still have other things to do."

Immediately the two followed him, saying, "Yes, Master."

This person was the one who followed that leader in stature.

Moments later all the men had left, however Stella did not move from her place until some time later.

"What if it's a trap to find anyone who's left ?"

She went to check on the trip crew, she was hoping to find someone still alive, but unfortunately for them all dead. She looked at them with heartbreak, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Why did this happen ? Everything was fine, why did it come to this ?" She was completely devastated.

" What am I going to do now ? I stayed in this place by myself, and I can't go back, they must be on the beach lurking for anyone, besides, there are these dangerous jellyfish."

Stella is sitting next to the bodies of her fellow passengers on the trip, and her body is trembling with fear and despair, as she ponders what she can do after fate leaves her alone in this scary place.

Realizes that she cannot return to the ship, the masked men have reached her, and at the same time, she cannot stay in the forest without protection. She fumbles around for any indication that could guide her towards survival, amid a mixture of despair and tense anticipation.

She thought about what would happen to her, her parents and her brother, and if she would be able to come home again, she blamed herself for coming here in the first place.

"Damn me, I should have thought more, if I had, I wouldn't have ended up like this, my survival was just a stroke of luck this time. That girl took advantage of me, yeah, she must know, so she didn't want to come, instead she threw me into this hellhole." She thought bitterly and angrily of Emma.

"On the basis that the continent is just a nature reserve, how are there people here ? do those responsible know about this ? If they know and send this mission, they're a dirty bunch."

After calming herself down, she began to think about what she should do now, "I should find a place to hide first, if these people find me I will end up like the poor people in front of me."

She collected the food and water they had left and put it in a backpack.

"I'm sorry, guys, I couldn't do anything, but I promise when I get back, I'll sue those bastards."

Suddenly she noticed something in the sky, it is a smoke, it was thick.

Stella guessed, "Those savages, they must have blown up the ship. Anyway, that's good, now they're distracted by it, I have to take the opportunity to look for a place to hide for at least some days until I find some way."
