The Red Jerboa Part 15

By Ryukenmaxximus

Jerboe made tintoberry pancakes for breakfast, which was Jebris’ favourite food, after eating, she left the den and foraged for some berries. When she came back there was nothing left. She could smell rotting carcasses under her. The ground started shaking and a death worm with a red glow around it dragged Jebris into the sand...

She woke up. Both James and the survivor were asleep, she couldn’t feel her legs. The survivor woke up and smiled at Jebris. He then got up and gave her some tintoberries and some water. James woke up and also smiled at Jebris, the survivor said he was going to meet an old friend of his that he hasn’t seen in years. He started packing and then said. “I saw what you were trying to do, follow me.” Jebris and James followed, they were sucked into a machine that transported them to the simulation. “We need to get Silver back.” Jebris said with determination. “But where are we, this isn’t the volcano.” James explained “This is the ocean, I don’t like it here” just then 2 survivors entered the area. One of them was a young girl and the other was an adult man. The young girl shouted. “Oh my gosh!!! Jerboas!!! I want them both!!!”

Jebris and James didn’t want to be taken, they just wanted to find Silver and then leave. They jumped into the ocean. “ Get those Jerboas for me!!! NOW!!!!!!!!”

The adult threw a silver coloured Ferox out of a cryopod and gave it some element. Then he jumped into the water and chased them. Jebris looked back and then stopped swimming that ferox was Silver! But it seemed she didn’t recognise her. Silver was about to grab Jebris when James pulled her back and pulled her deeper. He knew Feroxes weren’t very good at swimming as they couldn’t hold their breath for very long. He was right Silver swam back up for air and James and Jebris swam to safety. They found a cave that went upwards and they managed to hold their breath for long enough to make it to the top where they could get air. They decided to start exploring but the cave went deeper which meant they had to hold their breath again.
