What The Luck!? Chapter 187
Advertisement
Asher could hear someone breathing heavily behind the tree to their right side. Hed knew that it could be a fake prisoner waiting to ambush them. He motioned to Louis to walk around one side of the tree while moving toward the other. Asher could clearly see the confusion on Louis's face so he leaned in, "there is someone behind the tree, be ready."
Louis held up his hand and prepared to use a small zap if necessary. He had drained almost all of the lightning within his body after the last run in so he was sure he would not harm anyone. He was still stuck on hurting the staff member but seeing that the staff member was already recovering before put him more at ease.
Asher circled the tree and saw the silhouette of a persons' arm. He knew that he needed to be prepared for anything and was already in his stance. The one thing that caught him up and made him relax though was the lack of hand cuff on the wrist.
"Wait Louis, there are now arm bands or hand cuffs on the wrists. It should be a camper." Asher gave a hushed shout to alert Louis who was about to jump at the figure behind the tree. To Louis, this was just a darker shadow in the night so he would never have known the difference without Asher.
"Hey, we are campers too, who are you?" Asher was tentative about speaking out but he did so anyway. His calm voice made a noticeable difference in the person's hectic breathing. With the breathing patterns sounding calmer Asher knew that he would have an answer in a minute.
"Asher?" The voice was easily recognizable to him and Louis.
"Sammy! What are you doing hiding behind a tree?" Louis was the first to react. It only made sense because this was his own family and he was always worried to some degree about her.

"Well, I can't see anything. Plus I had some guy yell near me and then like four prisoners or whatever they are, ran at us. That's the last time I saw Jackson. Laura was somewhere but I can't keep up with her." Sammy sounded like she had just recovered from the verge of tears, this was understandable since she had just become lost in the woods at night, the added chaos just pushed her more.
"Don't worry, I can be your eyes. Just grab on to Louis's sweat shirt and use it as a guide. I want to try to find the others but if not we will follow some opf the tracks left by campers and staff back to the camp." Asher was confident in his ability ti find the way with the night vision glasses.
"We will also save anyone we find so eventually there will be too many people for the fake prisoners to do anything," Louis added on a little more to Asher's work load, but his own adrenaline was fueling him.
"Alright, then let's go." Sammy bounced in to the mood from Louis's high energy and was ready to move in a second. Asher noticed that there was a slight breeze as she jumped to grab ahold of Louis's sweatshirt making him wonder if she was trying to use her super power in some way.
With the now three person chain, Asher led the way following another set of footprints on the ground. It was much easier in the area to follow them since the dirt was soft and easily took the shape of the shoes people wore.
"These look like larger shoes, either Jackson was with three twins of himself or we found the trail of some fake prisoners. Want to follow them?" Asher was already leading the two ahead before receiving an answer. He knew that they had no other leads and just had to take the risk.

"What will we do if we encounter them? I can't really fight…" Sammy was worried that she would be taken. She knew that Asher could see right now and that Lopuyis had his lightning body to defend him. The only weak link was her.
"You have been using your super power this whole time. We both noticed the wind being extra breezy, right Asher?" Even Louis had noticed the wind acting up since his hair was partially exposed under the hood of his sweatshirt.
"I-umm, yeah. I just want to figure it out. After today's fall, I feel like my mind is so much clearer. It's like someone removed a locked door and I have so much more space to explore." Sammy had been focused on this the most of all while they walked. She had been letting her body operate on autopilot while she practiced.
"Then you will be fine. If you can use enough to slow three people falling then you can use enough to scare someone enough to let one of us come help. You won't face someone alone. Look at us, we are a human chain. We are like this so that we can help each other." Asher easily made sense of their situation and plan if they were attacked.
"Asher has a point, just because he is leading us doesn't mean that there aren't any other benefits to walking like this." Louis backed Asher up making Sammy feel even more comfortable.
"I didn't realize you two noticed." Sammy's voice was timid, they could tell she was embarrassed about their noticing since she was trying to be discreet while practicing.
"Come on, we should finish sooner than later so we can sleep a little extra tonight." Asher had grand ideas that he would get to nap more if he finished earlier, however, no sooner had he let these thoughts come through his mind did he noticed that the number of footprints was growing.
"I'm not sure if there are just three...or thirty fake prisoners that came through here," Asher said this and instantly heard some noises nearby. These sounds signaled that the three may have just walked in to a deadly situation, the prisoners' nest.

Ari-os
Ari-os is a story about a 21-year-old woman who woke up in an abandoned lab with little to no memories of her past. Turns out she is in the future now and the world became a very different place from what it used to be. Magic appeared in the world, changing it forever, and humanity created a way to control it, allowing people to increase their physical and mental abilities while shaping the world according to their will, but something caused civilization to regress, becoming a mere shadow of what it used to be. In her journey to figure out who she was, what happened to the world, and how much time has passed, Kali will discover ancient ruins, fight horrendous creatures, find how humanity has fared in this harsh world and meet with droids that walk the land as remnants from the technology that the world once had. In this story, you are going to see Litrpg elements such as a system with panels, skills, and stats (Although not inside a game, the main character has access to information about her growth much like an RPG). Survival elements will be present but it won't be the focus of the story, but crafting and enchanting on the other hand are going to be quite prevalent. Please, do let me know what you think in a comment or review, all criticisms are welcome. Also, English is not my native language so if you see any grammar mistakes, do tell me :) Chapters of ~2700 words each.
