Adventure in a Forest

In the end of December '07, Angela, Joey, and I were in the field.

" Let's go explore beyond Silverpool", said Angela, adventure shining in her eyes. Silverpool was where the river became larger. It was a very peaceful place with land and water surrounding it, kind of like a island.

" I don't mind", Joey agreed.

" Fine", I said. I was in the mood for an adventure but going beyond Silverpool meant that we had to cross the hunter's territory.

We started to walk. By the time we reached the iron-bar fence, Joey and I were beginning to become scared.

" Let's turn back", Joey said, with fear in his eyes.

" We can't stop now", Angela said encouragingly.

" Angela is right Joey, this could be fun". Reluctantly, Joey continued on.

After we crossed the iron-bar fence, I looked upward and what I saw numbed my whole body from head to toe.

" What's wrong", Angela asked, sounding concerned.

" Look up", I said. Angela and Joey looked up. What they saw scared them to. The hunter's post was gone.

" Why would it be gone?" Joey asked.

" Maybe they are hunting on the ground now", I said, trying to sound calmer then I actually was.

By then we had stopped walking and had realized the gorge was wider. Angela looked to the right. Her eyes were glazed with fear and I could tell that something was wrong. I shock Angela, trying to get her out of the trance she was in. She came close to me and whispered one word "look". I looked over to what Angela had been so afraid of. My heart lurched in fear and surprise. Across the gorge and about ten feet from us were two hunters glaring right at us. It didn't take me more than five seconds to dash off, the way we had came. I ran faster than I had ever ran in my life. I had to run. The hunters were putting our lives in danger. I heard Joey scream " They are chasing us!". I had almost forgotten! Joey and Angela were still there. I looked back, and, to my relief, Joey and Angela were following me. I was worried for Joey. He was much slower then me and Angela. I stopped. Joey and Angela caught up to me and we sat down on the ground. The hunters had stopped following us. But my biggest relief was that we were safe. My heart was beating so fast that I couldn't talk.

" That was scary", Joey said. I flased him the " Be quiet, we just got chased" look. He fell silent. After a few minutes I stood up to see where the hunters were. They were walking toward the houses! I stated to walk toward the basketball hoop. Angela ang Joey fallowed. As I was walking with Angela and Joey beside me I realized that my friends would do anything for me and I would do anything for them.

I hope you enjoyed this story!!
