Today the weather in Greece was very pleasant, but Lana was not in a good mood because her brand new dress got ruined while ironing. She was so excited to pick up her cousins from the airport.Now she was just mourning at home, and meanwhile, her father, Mr. Johnson, told the driver to go and pick up the children alone.

"Why are you sad? At the end they are coming at home, aren't they?" Mrs. Johnson said, trying to cheer Lana up. "Why should I not be sad? My shirt got burn because of this stupid iron," you know Demir (one of her cousins) had told me that you are so lazy that the day will be the day of celebration on which you got up early. , and you know what I told him? Not only will I wake up early, but I will also come to pick them up myself, and if I can't do that, I will eat noodles through my nose. Demir wants to make fun of me, and I am confident that David, Rose, and Kyle will also support him until he feeds me noodles with my nose. Only then will his soul find peace. Mrs. Johnson started laughing, "You all have grown up, but your behavior is still childish. Come on, get ready and come help me in the kitchen. Your cousins were coming in a while."

A little while later, the car horn honked, "Here they are, your cousins," Mrs. Johnson said as she and Mr. Johnson welcomed all the children.

"Are the noodles ready, Lana?" Demir asked, teasing Lana.

"Why are you asking me do you want to make pickles from noodles? You can surely ask Mom, I was in a hurry today as my dress burn while ironing," Lana replied.

"How can I trust you, Lana?" he said.

"Well, then don't. I dont care ," Lana replied.

"You should get ready , after all, you are going to eat noodles through your nose," Demir said.

"Lana, you..." Lana's mother interrupted, "Okay, that's enough. You both have started fighting again. Come on, freshen up, change your clothes, and get ready for lunch."

DINING TABLE

They were having lunch together and discussing that their attention was drawn to the TV and the upcoming news broadcast. Some parents were standing with their children's pictures, pleading for help to save their children who seemed to be in great danger. "There are many cases related to the Utava jungle coming up these days," Kyle said. "There is nothing like that, these are all nonsense," David replied. "Children get involved in wrong activities without informing their parents, and when they get into trouble, they go to the Utava jungle and commit suicide. The same thing happened to my colleague's brother," Rose added. "But could all this be true? Every other day, news related to the Utava jungle is coming up. There must be something in that jungle," David said. "This is just a way to increase ratings, nothing else," Demur said. "I don't think so. Look, there are almost 24 cases related to the Utava jungle," Lana said, looking very scared. "Mrs. Johnson's, don't pay attention to all these things. Finish your meal," she said, turning off the TV. Later that night, they were drinking coffee and discussing the cases of Utava jungle. D emir said, "Why don't we go to the Utava jungle and see for ourselves? I am fully convinced that these are just stories and nothing else."

to be continued......

Hmm, it can be thought about. You know what, let's go day after tomorrow. Rose suggested that we should record jungle videos and tell people that they are just stories and nothing more. What do you guys say?

Hmm, David said, yes, that means there's no harm in it. Kyle agreed, exactly, there's no harm in it. Where there have been 24 reported cases of fear, there will be our 25th. (Lana said sarcastically)

You have always been a coward since childhood, crying at every little thing, Demir teased Lana.

You are right, D emir, Lana

david said nodding. Lana started getting annoyed with all the teasing from everyone.

If Lana is scared, she will cry and then her parents would scold us, won't they, Kyle laughed at the thought. Lana looked at kyle intensely and said, yes, I'm ready to go. And if I complete this trip without being scared, not only will you guys cover the expenses of my upcoming trip but also give me $500. Deal?

Deal, Demir agreed. But Rose added, it shouldn't be known to uncle and aunty. Alright, Lana agreed.

Okay then, deal, D emir confirmed.

Lana is packing her things in her room when Rose comes to her and asks, "Is the packing done, Lana? Hmm, I just have a few things left, everything else is packed," Lana replies.

"Okay," Rose says, thinking, "You know how much we all love you, after all, you are the youngest among us siblings. We will be there with you, so there's nothing to be afraid of." (Rose said this with a smile).

"Hmm, you're right," Lana replied, also smiling a little.

"Okay, now you rest. Tomorrow's journey is quite long," Rose said as she left the room.

Lana took a deep sigh and thought for a while before putting a pocket knife in her bag.

EP 2.

Survive. (p 1)

They were all heading towards their destination, not knowing that their little adventure was soon going to turn into a deadly game

"Where whoever goes never comes back. Perhaps, on the surface, there was a lot of peace on Earth."

They were heading towards Utava jungle and it was almost midnight with no end in sight. Rose, David, and Lana had fallen asleep while Kyle was driving and Demir was guiding him when suddenly their car's tire collided with something and burst.

The noise was so loud that everyone woke up startled. Kyle was sitting in the driver's seat when the accident happened, so he tried to brake the car, but his hand got hurt.

"What happened?" Lana asked. "Ah, my hand hurts so much, Kyle shout ."

"What's wrong?" Rose inquired. "Nothing, maybe it happened because of a pothole. Kyle has been driving for a while. , you three take care of Kyle. Let me go and see what's wrong with the tire," Demir suggested.

ok(rose)

It had been 15 minutes since Demir had stepped out of the car, but he hadn't returned yet. Lana started to worry about him, so she took out a pocket knife from her bag and kept it close to her. She then brought David with her outside the car.

Outside, it was only darkness, with complete silence all around. There was no sign of D emir anywhere, and now David began to worry as well.
