Ethan's eyes fluttered open and he slowly got up and looked around in confusion. Ethan couldn't remember anything at all, not even his name. After he got his bearings he looked next to him and he saw 1 girl and 2 other guys unconscious on the jungle floor. The girl closest to him was wearing a pair of jean short shorts and tank top. The girl had red hair that had that perfect natural style with a hint of a curls and she was of Asian descent.

Ethan turned his attention to his back because he felt something heavy on his shoulders. Ethan knelt and he pulled a backpack off his back and he opened it from curiosity. Inside the backpack was a hatchet with the orange plastic blade cover on it. Ethan pulled it out and he looked inside seeing what the rest of the items were, inside were three MREs and a filter straw.

Ethan put the hatchet back in and he opened the middle zipper and peeked inside. The first thing that Ethan saw was a tarp with some paracord and a roll of duct tape. Ethan dug through the backpack, he felt what he assumed was a cube like item, Ethan pulled it out and on the item it said emergency poncho. The backpack was a sort of survival backpack which could be the thing that meant life or death.

Ethan opened up the large front compartment and he saw a medium sized little bag with a zipper. Ethan pulled it out of his bag, he looked at the little bag as he noticed a Red Cross on it and below the cross it said medical kit. Ethan put the item away and he zipped up his single strap backpack and placed it on his back again. Moments later the female closest to Ethan woke up and she began to look around curiously until she spotted Ethan. The woman looked at him and she spoke "where am i?" She asked looking at him.

Ethan spoke to the woman "I don't know." He answered looking around at their surroundings. After a moment Ethan spoke, "do you remember anything about yourself?" He asked looking towards her. The reason Ethan asked was because he didn't remember a thing about himself. "My name is Sky, what is yours?" She asked looking at him with her beautiful and bold emerald green eyes. Ethan spoke with a calm tone "I-I-I don't know my name" he said as he looked at her his eyes showing a hint of worry.

Sky looked at Ethan as she spoke in a gentle voice, "that's ok....maybe you'll remember shortly" she commented to soothe his worry. Shortly after he nodded in agreement and he spoke "better check your backpack" he said looking at the medium sized backpack on her back. Peaches proceeded to check her backpack and inside were tools and food and water with some similar items to Ethan's backpack.

A grunt was heard then a Irish voice was heard "where the heck are we?" The voice asked which caused Ethan and Sky to turn towards him almost simultaneously. The larger man stood up and he spoke again his Irish accent thick "who're you two?" He asked. Sky spoke, "I'm Sky but he can't remember his name" she said gesturing to Ethan who just stood there awkwardly. The Irishman just laughed non enthusiastically and spoke, "great, well I'm William." He said as he looked at the two others.

The other person woke up with a start and he got up and looked at the others that were around him. "Where am i?" He asked. Sky spoke "we don't know, do you remember your name?" She asked looking at the shorter man. The man spoke, "I'm Nate, what's your names?" He asked the three people that were currently in front of him. Sky spoke "I'm Sky and this big guy is William." She gestured to the larger Irish man.

Ethan was looking around and Sky spoke, "he can't remember his name at all" she said as she looked at Ethan in curiosity. Ethan was looking around, and he gasped as he looked at three large concrete walls around them. One led to a labyrinth of jungle and trees. The whole group followed Ethan's gaze and they all began to look around in curiosity at the walls while Ethan looked in front of them while he tightened his backpack to where it was snug around his back.

The day had just started for them all, but they had a hour of sunlight left to get a bit deeper into the labyrinth of jungle right in front of them. Ethan spoke, "lets start moving this way." He said as he began to walk forward into the unknown. Sky spoke, "hey, greenie what if it's a trap?" She asked as she and the others ran after him. Ethan replied when they caught up to him, "we need to see if we can find a way out of here" he said as he looked around at the surrounding area.

The others reluctantly agreed with him and they followed him into the unknown territory in front of them. Ethan pulled his hatchet out of his backpack. He used it to cut through some of the thin vines that exposed a clearing in front of them. Ethan stopped for a moment and he looked around, something felt off to Ethan so he stopped the group. Ethan approached the clearing his hatchet at the ready as he looked around. A short moment later he waved the group to come in because he didn't see anything dangerous in the area.

The group came in and sat in the hotspot of the jungle that they were in as night was beginning to come over them. Ethan finally took notice to the clothes he had on, he was wearing a pair of cargo pants that were fitted for him and a waffle knit black shirt that was also fitted for his skinny body. Ethan kneeled and he spoke "welp, we will stop here for the night...we need to recuperate after the eventful day we had today."

The two guys agreed, and they laid down on the soft grass near each other, but not too close. Ethan laid down and he closed his eyes to sleep. Peaches laid on the grass and quickly fell asleep because she was already exhausted from the eventful day. The group slept peacefully that night, or at least the three others did. Ethan wouldn't sleep too well because of a dream.

Dream POV

Ethan was strapped down on a table by arm and ankle straps and a tall older man with a grey beard with salt and pepper colored hair, sat beside him. "You're our best chance son...it was always you Ethan" the older man said as he looked at Ethan with a smile on his face. Ethan noticed the letters on the man's lab coat it said WDRA on the coat but there was something else.

Ethan noticed a lanyard with a security badge. On the card it showed a photo of the man, and below the photo it said, 'Dr. Nick B' on it. The doctor put a syringe in his arm and injected him with a medication caused him to black out.

Dream ends
