Jabari asks her to go towards the mountain and gather some branches

He points

But we already have wood -

No that is for something else

Don't waste time

She nods and starts walking towards the hills

As she gets close she hears noises in the bushes

She thinks it's a small animal and goes to investigate

A man stands up wearing the bush over him and covered in mud

He lunges at her

She starts to run and up pops another man from the dirt

Also called in mud

She turns around and sees the other man

The one closest to her grabs her arm

She wiggles away and runs into the thicker brush

They keep chasing her and she starts going up the hill

Another man is waiting

She gets scared and recognizes him

It's omari

She starts to relax and goes towards him

He pulls out a machete and smiles evilly

Her heart stops

She turns to her left and runs as fast as she can

The trees are becoming less sparse

She thinks she can hide

She stops for a moment and hears a branch snap

Breathing heavily

She looks around frantically

She doesn't see anything

Then she looks up

Damu is in the tree and he jumps down

She pics a random direction and takes off running again

She's tired and out of breath

She trips on a log

She looks at it

It wasn't there by accident

It was being held up by smaller pillars made from other logs

She didn't have time to wonder

She gets up and keeps going

Her left foot steps on a pile of leaves that was concealing a hole

She didn't fall in but twisted her ankle

She stumbles to her feet and starts limping

She notices a rope

She grabs on it

It's attached to a met covered by leaves

She accidentally sets off the trap and the net snags her hand and pulls her up

It took all of her energy to not scream in pain

As she's dangling

Swinging her legs

She tries to break free of the rope

The pain is almost unbearable

She swings towards a branch and grabs hold

She tries to stabilize herself

Shakily she reaches in her pocket and pulls out a small pocket knife and cuts the rope

Then she starts cutting more of the rope leaving herself with a crappy noose

She hears the men getting closer

She lassos a branch of another tree and uses the rope to swing to it

She keeps doing this until she finds a tree that feels safe

She breaks some branches and conceals herself with the leaves

She doesn't move

She just waits
