Initially, she didn’t worry too much about Adie because she was busy barbecuing seafood with the other parents and playing Duck Duck Goose with the children. However, after a while, she started to feel uneasy.
She glanced in the direction where Halston had left, her worry growing.
She figured he would have found Adie by now.
Abby was worried too, and was too distracted to play games with the other children.
She grabbed Flossie’s hand and asked anxiously, “Momuny, where’s Adie? Why hasn’t Daddy found him yet? Did something happen to Adie?”
“No, that won’t happen.”
Although Flossie said that, her heart was pounding in her chest.
“Abby, be good and stay with the teacher.ru go look for Halston and Adie.”
“Mommy, I want to come too.”
Abby was worried about Adie and didn’t want Flossie to go out on her own at night.
“No, it’s dark now.It’s safer if you stay here.If you go with me, I’ll have to look out for you too, and I’ll be too tired to look for Adie…”Flossie touched Abby’s head and said gently, “Be good, Abby.I promise I’ll bring Adie back.”
“Not only Adie… You’ve got to bring Daddy back too, okay?”
“Umm…”
After a brief hesitation, Flossie nodded.
“Okay, I promise I’ll bring both of them back.”
Finally, Abby stayed with the teacher obediently and watched Flossie leave.
The island was a typical tropical island.
It was not spacious but was full of trees and plants, and one could easily get lost or fall off a cliff if they were not careful.
Both Flossie and Adie had experience in navigating complicated terrains like this, so she just held a torch with one hand and a machete with the other, hacking away at the plants in her path. Soon enough, she was halfway up the mountain.
“Adie!”
Flossie called out, her loud voice spooking nearby birds.
“Adie, where did you go? Stop playing around. When I find you, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
She hoped that Adie would come back quickly when he heard her threats.
She was also trying to keep the mood light; She wasn’t afraid of the island, but…
she was afraid of ghosts.
After all, it was the wilderness, and she didn’t know what to expect.

into trouble.
If she still couldn’t find him, she decided to go back downhill to get profession help
The dark mountains looked gloomier as time went by.
Suddenly, Flossie heard painful whimpers as she was walking.
“Help!”
That cry came from a dense bush.
“Who…Who is it?”
Flossie quickly shone her torch on the bush.
“Help!”
The voice came again, sounding more urgent.
Although Flossie couldn’t see who it was, she had to do something.
“Hold on, I’ll save you!” She put the torch in her mouth, planning to tear away the vines to see what was going on.
“Don’t move!” Halston’s voice came from behind her suddenly.
He held her shoulders, stopping her from moving forward.
Shocked, Flossie turned around.
She sighed in relief when she saw Halston.
“Where did you come from?” “I was tricked when I used this path just now.” Even in the dark, Halston looked pale and weak.
“What…
What’s wrong with you?” Flossie asked hesitantly.
“I got curious and tore off those vines, then I got bitten.” Halston sounded weaker as he spoke, and his body swayed for a while until he leaned against a boulder beside him. “You got bitten?” Flossie looked at the vines in confusion.
“Wasn’t someone calling for help? How did you get bitten?” “It wasn’t a human but an animal.” Halston coughed as his breathing grew shallow.
“That animal…
is quite rare.
It’s a human-shaped snake that lives in mountains called a narserial.
It comes out at night and imitates human speech to lure people in, then bites them.” “Really?” Flossie asked doubtfully.
She knew that birds could imitate human speech, but she had never heard of a snake that could speak.
“It’s fine if you don’t believe me.” Halston was too weak to explain much.
“Listen to me just ignore the voices you hear in the mountains.
Those who have been in the mountains know that there are many beasts lurking there, and some are more cunning than people.
