WHAT A JOURNEY: Chapter 1 – 20
Chapter 20
“Oh my candy Goodness, that was crazy mehn” Kiwi screamed out when we got to another part of the jungle.
“That is the real definition of all that glitter are not gold, a place filled with berries yet condemned with crocodiles” Ruby complained.
“At least we should all thank God that they didn’t appear while we were asleep last night” I stated.
“We would have been history by now” Kira said.
“Mmmh” I heard Marichuiy grumble.
“Are you OK?” I asked Her.
“I’m so hungry” she replied as she held her tummy.
“Hahaha, that’s what happens when you don’t eat dinner” I laughed at her and she hit me. I brought out a sandwich from my backpack and gave to her.
“Hey, this is yours, I have mine” she made to open her backpack but I stopped her.
“It is my duty to take care of you”
“Who made you my guidian Angel?” She asked me.
“No one, eat” I replied, she chuckled and started eating.
“But wait yo, where exactly are we going?” Michael asked the question we’ve all forgotten to ask, well we all know where we are going literally but where exactly are we, where’s our next stop.
“We are going to kuluvanda temple of course, to break Marichuiy’s curse and get a lot of gold for Salvador” Kiwi answered nonchalantly. I Palmed my face.
“This girl is crazy” Marichuiy whispered.
“Hey that’s rude” I complained “but kinda true, she’s crazily dumb but it’s adorable” I added and she laughed.
“Girlfriend that wasn’t a direct question, but you wouldn’t know that because you are dumb as fk” Kira fired at her, I clenched my fist, if only she wasn’t a girl, I would have punched her hard.
“Don’t you dare insult her b*tch” Bathny retorted, Kira rolled her eyes and walked away to join Michael who was in the front.
Kiwi sighed. Marichuiy went to her and held her shoulder.
“Hey don’t mind her, she has always been rude, ignore whatever she say to you” she stated, Kiwi nodded.
“Or perhaps you lunch her a little” I added and she giggled, adorable.
“OK, lets join the others” Bathny said and we all joined the rest.
“OK, our next turn is by the left” Salvador informed us.
We took the path and continued walking.
“Uhm, when you were staring at the map and asking us to take this route, did you Also notice there was a bridge here.?” Ruby asked as he stopped and stared in front of him.
“A dangerous one at that” Michael added.
WHAT A JOURNEY: Chapter 1 – 20
We all got closer only to face to slimest and longest bridge I’ve ever seen.
“I’m not crossing that” Kira complained and sat on the floor.
“Oh please Kira, can we not do this now” Bathny spat out.
“Is it my fault that the bridge is so long and high, is it my fault that this journey is getting dangerous by every minute, is it my fault that this mission is completely mission impossible?” Kira cried out loud, tears streamed down her cheeks, the girl is really going through a lot.
“Babe calm down, its not that high, I’ll cross you over” Michael tries to assure her.
“Let go off me…” She screamed and snatched her hand off his. “Leave me the h*ll alone, that is what you keep saying ‘have it’s fine, I’m here, I’ll take care of you, I’ll cross you over’, I’m sick and tired of it” she cried.
“Kira” Henry called her.
“Stay out of this” she fired at him. “Michael you sit and watch this people insult me right from the moment this evil man kidnapped us..”
“I’m not evil” Salvador stated.
“Shut up” Kira fired and everyone shuddered in fear except Salvador.
“OK, that’s it” Salvador said, he picked his gun and cocked it about to shoot Kira and that made her flare up.
“You wanna shoot me..” She fired at him.
“Shoot me I dare you baste*d” she cried.
Michael snatched the gun from him and turned back to Kira. “Baby…”
“Don’t you dare baby me, everyone made fun of me but you never asked them to stop, twice you guys have shown me that you could deny me anywhere, I’m tired of it, you keep promising to take care of me but you never try to get me out of here”
“Kira please calm down” Michael pleaded.
“I wanna go home Michael, take me home, I’m done” she cried.
I noticed that Kiwi was crying too.
“Kira please we are sorry if we treated you badly” She tries to apologize.
“Save it Kiwi” Kira fired, she cried as she stepped away from all of us.
“Kira please, I’m sorry for getting you into this” Marichuiy apologized, Kira shook her head as she continued backing away from us, I have a bad feeling about this.
“Babe please just come back, I’m sorry” Michael tried to speak, Kira was about to reply when she stepped on a stone, I heard something snap on the floor and before I could blink Kira was already dangling from a tree with rope strangling her neck and she was struggling to break free or at least breath.
“Oh my gush Kira” Kiwi screamed.
WHAT A JOURNEY: Chapter 1 – 20
Michael dropped the gun in his hands and rushed to her, he held her legs to at least release the pressure of the rope.
“Oh my goodness what do we do” Marichuiy asked.
“Do something, anything” Michael shouted.
“Cut the rope, we have to cut the rope” I yelled at them as I look for a way to cut the rope.
“To cut the rope, we would have to climb the tree” Henry snapped.
I’m good at climbing, all we need now is a knife” Ruby stated.
“Well there’s no knife but I have a bottle of gin, we can break it and use it as knife” Ricky informed us, he brought out the gun and tossed it to me, I poured out the remaining drink in it and smashed the bottle on a stone, I picked a piece and gave to Ruby. He jumped on the tree and started cutting the rope, by then Kira body was already getting rigid, she was fast turning white.
“Ruby what the h*ll is keeping you” Michael cried.
“Almost got it” Ruby replied, he finally cut off the rope and Kira fell off but Michael was fast enough to catch her, she was coughing and breathing heavily.
“Here, give her some water” Marichuiy handed him her bottles water, Michael gave Kira and she managed to drink a little.
“Uh, we gotta go” Salvador commanded, we all stared at him as he walked towards the bridge, when he noticed we weren’t coming, he turned back and yelled “now!!!”
“Why is he so heartless, jeez” Kiwi asked.
“Uhm, I don’t think he’s being heartless right now, I think he’s running” Bathny stated as she stared at a direction.
“Running from what?” Ruby asked.
“Fro….from……from those” Marichuiy stammered as she stared at the same direction. We turned to see what it was.
Dmn.
Two black wolves were staring dangerously and hungry at us, their maroon eyes seems to be scanning our bodies to know who has the fattest meat.

“Mich….Michael, pick kira up, I’m outta here” Henry whispered and zoomed off, Ruby dragged Kiwi and Bathny joined them. Marichuiy and I helped place Kira on Michael’s back and he ran off.
The wolves seem to have noticed that we were running for our lives, but they didn’t want loose their food, they jumped down from the stone they were standing on and began chasing us.
I have a feeling we are not gonna leave this jungle alive.
