Chapter Five: Jello
I sat away from everyone else carving wood, and making spears since there weren't enough weapons for everyone. Then I saw Jason building a stage. Curious I walked back into camp. After an hour of building the stage was done. It wasn't the best but it was a stage. 'What could he be doing'. I wondered as he climbed onto the stage "Everyone gather around!" Jason called out.With no hesitation everyone walked over and stood under the stage. "Okay so as you may or may not know I'm Jason. Nice to meet you. Anyways I know we've been having fun and all but I think it's time we got serious. We need a leader. Now from how long we've been here I've been observing everyone and decided the six best candidates for leaders. So when I call your name please come onto the stage."
He clears his throat "Abby, Birds, Phoenix, Yamilette, Sunrise, and Jello."
Everyone he called shyly got up on the stage. After watching them I sighed and walked up on stage to. I looked around at everyone else on the stage. Most of them looked confused except for Sunrise and Abby. They looked like they expected this. Then Jason started talking again "Okay so everyone here is gonna give a speech on what they think is most important to do for this camp and then everyone will vote. Let this begin. We'll start with... Phoenix."
Phoenix sighed "Well alright then... Look. Ever since we got down here everyone has been super excited but lots of us still act like we're on the Ark. I don't need to mention the whole Seg, Samantha situation do I? Anyways um... I believe something important for this camp is moving on and forgetting the Ark. So I think we should try and find some of the bomb shelters so we can find supplies. Er... That's all."
Murmurs of agreement came from the ground. "Okay very good Phoenix. Seems like a good amount of people agree with you. Birds you're next"
Birds stepped forward "That was a good speech from Phoenix but why should we go find the shelters when we can't leave camp without being attacked. I talked to Seg and they were all kidnapped by human like creatures still living on the ground. Savages. if we leave camp they'll kill us all. So I say we stay here and stock up on supplies. We have everything we need right here including guns. there are also ways of making other weapons. Why take a risk when we can easily survive right here."
Before anyone could say anything Jasaon said "Wow that's a pretty good point. I think Anyways. Yamilette?"
Yamilette slowly walked up "Um... well both of them had very good points but neither of them mentioned anything about taking care of the injured. Right now Samantha and Seg are in the Drop Ship and if they're wounds don't kill them then infections will. We have no bandages or anything. Now I agree with Phoenix and Birds on some levels but what we should do is have a group of two set off and watch each others backs. No goofing off and find supplies. We already lost one of us. Let's not lose anymore."
Everyone stayed silent and just looked around nervously. After hearing Yamilette Sunrise left the stage then I sighed and did the same thing. Then Abby stepped up and looked into her sleeve and saw notes Jason wrote "So despite what everyone else has said I believe it's mainly ridiculous. We are not weak. We are warriors. I say we gather all the weapons we can and locate these creatures before they attack us. We will not sit around like sitting ducks!"
There were uproars of approval and I just sighed. 'They must be stupid or something. We aren't warriors. We're kids. She'll get us killed'
