Truth or Dare

Chapter One

Aleu and Kodi were outside playing when Aleu said, "I dare you to go into the cave over there!" Kodi looked fearfully over to the cave. "But Aleu, there's a scary bear in there," he whimpered, stepping closer to his sister. "There's no bear!" Aleu laughed. "Cut it out, Kod." Kodi shrugged. "Okay, I guess I'll go," he mumbled. "You go Kodi!" Aleu cheered. Kodi slowly walked into the cave. It was dark and he couldn't see his own paw in front of his nose. He shivered but walked further into the spooky cave. He slumped as he walked, feeling low because of taking a dare. Stupid dare, Kodi thought. Screw this. I'm leaving. But he didn't get far. There was a bear. And it was right behind him. The bear growled. Kodi whipped around. "The bear!" he yelled. Aleu came running. "What bear? OMG! Kodi!" she shouted. Kodi was running as fast as he could. "Come on, Aleu!" he screamed. "Forget the dare. Get outta here!" Aleu followed Kodi. They reached the edge of the cliff. "We're doomed," Kodi moaned. "No we're not doomed!" Aleu cried. "We have to jump!" Kodi glanced over his shoulder. The bear roared. "But we'll be killed!" Kodi said. "And we'll be killed if we don't!" Aleu cried. She shoved her brother off the cliff. Then she followed.

Chapter Two

Aleu stood. Kodi did too. "That was close," he panted. "Yeah. Come on, let's leave before we get ourselves killed," Aleu said. They walked back to the boat that served as their house. "Dad!" Kodi called. Balto came running. Jenna did too. "What is it? Have you two been hurt?" she demanded. "No Mother. Aleu told me to do a really stupid thing," Kodi hissed, glaring at his sister. "Heh heh," Aleu said. "Not funny Aleu. What did you guys do this time?" Balto asked. "We played truth or dare," Kodi admitted sheepishly. "What? That is really stupid," said Jenna. "I know, I know," Aleu murmured. "She made me go into the old cave. I was nearly killed by a bear!" Kodi exclaimed. "Oh, Aleu!" moaned Jenna. "We won't do it again Father," Aleu promised. "Okay. Now come inside for lunch," Jenna said. They followed their parents inside. "What did you guys do this time?" Saba, their sister, asked. "Nothing, Saba," Aleu replied. "Okay, we played truth or dare," Kodi told their younger sister. "That's dumb!" Saba cried. "I know right?" Kodi shook his head, even though he was the one that had taken the dare. "Eat up." Jenna shoved some fish in front of the pups. "We're going hiking today," she said. "Ooh! Hiking!" Saba said and dug in. "Promise me we won't go in the cave," Aleu said. "We won't," Kodi said. "What happened?" Boris the goose asked, stepping into the room. Aleu and Kodi looked at each other.

"You have no idea."

THE END.
