Chapter 4
Falling forward, Ann laughed,"It's not the rock's
fault you fell over it."
"Now you two, be careful!", laughed Damon as
he helped them up.
"Yes papa,"snickered Leigh,"Okay Damon,
we'll be careful."
Giving the rock bad looks, Leigh walked ahead. She
stoped suddenly and gasped,"Damon...Damon!"
He looked up at her and rushed to her side, followed
closely by Ann. As soon as she realize what Leigh was screaming about she
backed up, almost falling over Leigh.
In front of them was a bubbling pool of green
acid. It smelled awful and looked just as bad.
"Alright, we'll just walk around it."sudgested
Damon, but it was easier said than done. The other side of the pool was
only 20 feet away, but it was very long. It seemed to go on for
miles.
Ann took a deep breath and closed her eyes. A
small crystal bridge apeared in front of them going across the pool.
Surprised, Damon backed up into Ann. "Ouch! Hurry, Damon,
Leigh, across the bridge!"
Still surprised, Damon and Leigh ran across the crystal
bridge. Slowly, Ann stated across. "This bridge will disapear
soon, but I can't seem to move."
Just as she got to the edge, the bridge disapeared from
underneath her. Not knowing what he was doing, Damon reached out and
caught her.
"Ann!", screamed Leigh,"Hang on
Damon!". Leigh held onto Damon as he pulled Ann up.
He sat her down on the soft grass, still shooken up, she
whispered,"We need to keep going. We need to find the
unicorn."
"Calm down Ann, you're okay now, you're safe.
We're here with you.", reassured Leigh.
Something from behind let out a shreiking roar.
Damon turned around and blinked hard.
