Benjamin and Jinx were caught up in their little discussion and without them knowing, the snakes were now surrounding Caleb.Caleb's breath came in short gasps as he tried to fend off the snakes that were closing in on him." Hey, some body_ help m..e _ me"For the first time in his life, Caleb had actually asked for help from the teenagers. It was silly, but he felt the need to do so."Help me!!" He gasped, his voice barely audible over the hissing and slithering as the seven deadly serpents surrounded him. He could barely remain focused, his lungs screaming for air and his throat was already full of water.The fact that he was drowning was a dreaded punishment but then, seven serpents was nearing him each minute.His sight was enveloped by the never ending rush of the water. There was an unknown force that was constantly pulling him downwards. He had struggled so far but all seems useless. His energy was slowly fading away. All he wanted to do was to at least make it out alive rega
Chapter 48."What are you getting at?" Caleb demanded. "This is a pond. There is no way it can be a river."Benjamin was still silent. Not because he was coming up with a brilliant idea, but because he was confused."A river, a pond. What's the difference" "A river has a current that pulls the contents of the water from one place to another," Caleb said, remembering his own struggle in the pond which almost drowned him. "And a pond is stagnant…" Then he remembered the pond had kept dragging him like when he fell into a river last year and the same thing he felt when he fell into the pond."I think we should follow this pond," Caleb relized. "It must be the river.""Oh, so few moments you doubted it's a river and right now you have suddenly agreed?" Benjamin was so annoyed with Caleb. " You are unbelievable"" Yes I used to think it wasn't but then I recently recalled something "" Guys, please if indeed this is the river then let's walk alongside it. Maybe we might find something u
Caleb gripped the log with all his might, determined not to let go. But the churning waves had other ideas, and their massive strength insisted on putting Caleb to the test.Soon enough the whole log drowned alongside Caleb.Just like last time, he couldn't keep up. His legs flailed helplessly in the water and despite his best efforts, he couldn't control their involuntary movements, making them bob up and down more like useless deadweights than functional limbs.Panic hit Caleb as he looked yonder, he could see the snakes were slithering forward, their beady eyes fixed on him. "Not again!" he thought, trembling all over. "Help!" He shrieked, his voice barely audible. At that moment, Benjamin sprang into action, slicing through the water like an Olympic swimmer. Within seconds, he reached Caleb's side and grabbed hold of him. Despite the wounds in his stomach, Caleb felt a rush of relief. In one swift move, Benjamin hoisted him onto his log. Safely out of harm's way, Caleb began to
Chapter 50. FreedomThe sun shone brightly in the cloudless sky as they emerged from the tunnel. Glancing around, they realized they had finally made it outside. However, their excitement was short-lived as they soon approached a dead end, a towering metal gate blocking their path.Though they could see everything, they were partly still inside the cave, and only the metal bar was blocking them from getting outside and finally being free!Peering through the metal bars, they gazed longingly at the lush forest beyond. Frustration crept in as they realized they were trapped."I can't believe we've come so far only to be stopped by this damn gate," Caleb muttered, his hand running over the hard surface of the black metal bars that had brought their journey to a halt.Benjamin started thinking deep. So far they had survived all the dangers they thought was in the dungeon and eventually they had followed the river and had appeard here. The only thing blocking them from escaping was those g
Chapter 51. chiropractor***As the three people continued to walk further into the jungle trusting their instincts into leading them to a save haven.They walked for a considerable distance, and so far the only food they saw was just a small peanut. But that was already rotten. With no food on their journey, their stomachs wasn't helping and it kept on sending alarms telling them he needs to be feed.Caleb on the other side, was wondering what will happen if he swallow another object. Even if the object is good for eating, he wouldn't risk it. What if some of the food substance trigger the rocks to react again?What will happened then, we he die?He watched as the two teenagers walked eagerly searching for food, not knowing the risky environment they had been walking through!As they walked they happened to see a mango tree. It's bark was the size of a persons waist. It's height, was just 15 feet tall and it stood firmly with it's leaves getting a lot of the sun rays.They rashed und
Benjamin fell to the ground from a height of 15 feet, and dislocated his right arm. His right leg and shoulder were all in pain. As he struggled to sit up, a sharp pain shot through his entire body. Suddenly, Jinx saw a tall, black figure fall from the tree. They looked up and saw a large branch of the tree coming down together with the creature. Caleb and Jinx watched in despair as the black creature fell on the ground. Caleb moved to check it out, and noticed that the creature's skin was made of pure ore, and its four hands were slightly broken. Caleb was horrified to see that the creature's chest had been cut, revealing its internal anatomy. Suddenly, the creature let out a loud roar before its entire body became stiff. "This can't be good. It looks like it was calling for help," Caleb thought to himself as he turned around, only to discover Jinx running towards Benjamin, who was badly injured.Benjamin's breath was slowly fading, and his heart couldn't keep up with the amount
[HP 8/10]Benjamin bones began to rejoin it self, But as the healing went on, nobody was close to him to help him stand up. So instead of being able to wake up, he was still unable to move.The two creatures had mourned their son and they were done with that. The only thing left for them to do was to avenge his death.The mother scanned the area with her black eyes, then it saw poor Benjamin lying on the ground.When she neared him, she smelled a strong sensation from the boy. The creature backed down. The smell was familiar but he couldn't pinpoint what supernatural it belonged to.She could see clearly that the boy wasn't only a human, and they could feel the presence of something else.But that didn't distract her. They had made their minds to bring Carnage on the person that killed their son.The female creature spread her four arms. Suddenly, wind blew, sending dust and leaves to circle around her. She then jumped high, with the air enabling her to hover in the air.Their wild nos
Benjamin was distracted by creature In Front of him. It wouldn't be long before the creature lunches itself on him. His heart began to tremble, his ankle was bleeding, his face was covered in bruises and his already broken hand was hurting again.As he stood there, he was regretting the moment he didn't wait for his arm to heal properly, before he attacked the mother.A large finger was released. As it came closer to the boy, the air coiled around causing smoke of dust to fill the scene.Benjamin closed his eyes waiting for the attack to just kill him. But as he continued to wait, there was a strong instincts in him, constantly telling him to attract the creature.It was as if someone was his mind telling him to do it.He swung his hands again. The blue sharp aura was released from his hands. Just as the creature neared him. A sharp object had cut off her hand. Smoke accompanied with a an awful scent was smelled evaporating from the black creature open wound.The creature flew upward
