And now….here's chapter 3!
After walking for about a half an hour, the bionics decided to take a water break.
"Ok" Chase tells his siblings, "We'll take a five minute break." Exhausted, the bionics sat down and pulled out their water bottles from their backpacks.
"Ugh" Bree groans, "I wish I had my super speed. I would've been at the mountain hours ago."
"Well technically it hasn't even been an hour Bree" Chase corrected, "It's been a half an hour." She rolls her eyes.
"Really Big D?" Leo whined as he pulled out a health bar from out of his bag, "That's all you packed for us to eat? Two little health bars. Yuck."
"Well it's better than nothing" Adam replied, taking a bite out of his bar, "Hey. They're actually not that bad."
"Great." Bree blurted out, "We each have water to drink and two bars to eat for this whole trip. We're going to starve!"
"Thanks a lot Big D" Leo spoke into the air, "Who knew your careless thoughts about packing emergency food would kill your kids?"
"Don't worry guys" Chase says, trying to calm them down, "I'm sure there's some fruit out here in the woods somewhere." Adam looks around.
"Well I don't see any" he tells his younger brother.
"Well maybe there are some fruit trees deeper in the forest."
"I hope your right Chase" Leo told him, "Can't really trust that you're right anymore now that you're bionics are gone."
"Not like we believed what he was talking about before" Bree joked. They both snickered.
"Haha so funny I forgot to laugh" Chase sarcastically replied, really feeling upset about what his siblings had said about him on the inside.
"Does anyone know what time it is?" Leo asked. Bree looked down at her watch.
"Well its seven-thirty p.m. on earth" Bree answered, "I don't what time it is here." Adam looked up at the sky.
"It looks like its getting dark here." He informed his younger siblings while standing up, "We better start walking again so we can find shelter before it gets dark." He helped his sister up to her feet.
"Yeah" Chase replied, standing up, leaning on his walking stick for support, "Leo didn't you say it could get down to -10 degrees here?" Leo nods.
"Yup" Leo replies, "We better hurry and find shelter. It's already starting to get a little chilly." Bree nods as she starts to shiver.
"Let's go" Adam says. The gang gathered up their things and began to walk deeper into the forest...
"Adam" Bree whined as she stopped walking "I'm tired. Can we stop now? We've been walking for hours now. I can barely move anymore. It's so hard getting places on foot without my super speed."
"Now you know how the rest of us feel" Leo told her. Adam turned around and walked over to his sister.
"Come on Bree" he encouraged, "After we find somewhere to stay for the night, we'll stop, ok?"
"Come on Bree" Chase said, "I think I see a cave just a little up ahead."
"The walk hasn't been that bad." Leo added.
"Easy for you three to say, you guys aren't wearing heels!" She exclaims. "I don't even think I can walk another step without collapsing." Adam stood in front of her and bent over.
"Hop on Bree" Adam told her, "If you can't walk anymore, then I'll carry you until you get your energy back." She hopped on her older brother's back.
"Hey no fair!" Leo cried, "Chase and I still have to walk!"
"I thought you said the walk wasn't that bad." Chase replied.
"It's not, but I still want a ride!"
"Come on. The cave's just a little whiles away."
After about fifteen minutes, they reach the entrance of a dark cave.
"Here we are" Adam says as Bree hops off of his back.
"Good thing we found it" Leo replied, "It's starting to get cold out here."
"Let's head inside."
"Wait" Bree started, "What if there's bear or a lion in there?"
"Bree" Chase replied, smirking "Lions don't live in the forest."
"Ok smarty pants, but bears do! There's probably one in there waiting for us to come and fall into its trap and then BOOM! It will eat us!" Leo started laughing, "Something funny Leo?"
"Bree" he laughed, "That's ridiculous! Oh boy. You're funny Bree." Bree slaps Leo's arm, "Ow!" Adam chuckled.
"Guys" Chase says rolling his eyes, thinking about why his siblings had to act like children, "Knock it off." He begins to walk into the cave, "I'll check it out."
"Be careful" Bree told him.
"Don't get eaten by a lion" Leo joked. Chase walked into the cave. It was pitch black and he could barely see anything. He took his bag off of his back and pulled out his flashlight. He clicked it on and looked around the small cave. Nothing seemed to be living in the cave and it seemed pretty safe to stay in for the night.
"Ok guys" Chase called out to his siblings, "You can come in. There's nothing living in here!"
"Are you sure?" Bree questioned, "You didn't see any bats or raccoons or-"
"I'm sure Bree!" Chase turns around as Adam, Bree and Leo walk into the cave, "It's kind of small, but we'll make it work." They turn on their flashlights as well.
"It's kind of rocky in here" Bree complained, looking down at the ground, kicking rocks that were in front of her feet.
"Would you rather be sleeping outside?" Chase impatiently asked her. She keeps quiet. Leo gasped. "What now?"
"Look" Leo cried, pointing towards outside the cave. They all turned around to see that snow was heavily falling down from the sky outside.
"This planet is weird" Bree comments, "One minute it's hot and the next minute it's cold and snowy."
"I'm glad we found this cave in time" Adam says sitting down, "Or we would've been out there freezing to death."
"Well we're still freezing to death in here" Bree replied, sitting down next to her brother. She opened her backpack and pulled out her blanket inside provided by Mr. Davenport. She bundled herself up in her blanket. Leo sat beside her and covered himself up with a blanket as well.
"How about I make a fire?" Adam suggests.
"Good luck searching for sticks and stones in that weather" Chase huffed, glancing back outside at the snow.
"Ok know it all" Bree replied, "Do you have any ideas of helping us stay warm?" He shrugged in response.
"How about we just all get some shut-eye?" Leo says, lying down on his back. A few seconds later, he popped back up and started gagging and coughing. Adam and Bree pat his back. "Yuck I think a spider just crawled down my throat."
"Eww" Bree said standing up, "Ok I can't sleep somewhere where tons of icky bugs are going to be crawling up and down my body while I'm asleep." Chase sighed.
"Why are girls so scared of insects?" he muttered to himself, "They're not that scary."
"Ok" Adam said to Bree, stomping his foot down on some of the insects that were crawling about on the ground, "I think I just killed the last one."
"Adam there will be more crawling around in a couple of minutes. They're everywhere!" She looked through her bag, "Why out of all things did Davenport not pack bug killer for us?!" She sat back down. Adam sat down with his legs spread out in front of him.
"How about you lay your head on my legs Bree?" he asked her, "At least that way it will be less likely bugs will crawl into your mouth."
"Well" Bree started, thinking about what her brother had just said, "Alright." She slowly put her head on Adam's legs. She yawns. "Well I'm hitting the hay everyone. I'm still pretty tired from all of that walking. Night."
"Night" Adam and Leo tell her.
"Night" Chase mumbles. Bree closes her eyes and is soon fast asleep.
"Ok I'm going to try this again" Leo told himself, lying back down on his back, "And another spider better not crawl into my mouth. Goodnight everybody." He closed his eyes. Chase walked to the back of the cave, threw his walking stick down and sat, facing the cave wall. He pulled his blanket out of his bag and laid down. He pulled the blanket over top of his body. Just as he was about to shut his eyes, he heard his older brother call out his name.
"Chase?" Chase turned to see Adam looking at him, "Come over here with us. You'll be warmer if you bundle close together with us." Chase shakes his head.
"I'm good thanks." he replied, not wanting to feel claustrophobic snuggling together with his siblings in a small cave.
"Alright suit yourself. Night." Adam placed his head back on the ground and closed his eyes. Chase turned back around and tried to drift off to sleep, but he couldn't. He had too much on his mind to be sleepy. It was his fault that they were trapped on this planet after all. He should've been focused driving the ship home, not arguing over stupid things with his brother and sister.
He wondered what Mr. Davenport and Tasha were thinking at this time. They were probably worried sick about them. He wondered if Mr. Davenport somehow had the ability to track down their ship and rescue them. Probably not. Chase knew he had failed. He had failed as a mission leader. He had failed as captain of the team. Chase slowly closed his eyes and somehow found a way to drift off to sleep as he wondered about what was yet to come the next day…
Sorry if the end was kind of cheesy. It was kinda hard to end this chapter because I split this chapter in half. Hope you liked it anyways. So, they're still all ok…..for now... (but maybe not for the next chapter…*wink wink* *nudge nudge*) Wow, one minute it's hot and sunny on this planet and all of a sudden it gets cold and snowy? Talk about weird. Do you think they're safe in this cave they're staying in or do you think something or someone's going to attack them? I'd like to hear your guesses and thoughts on this so far, because I'm pretty sure something BIG is going to come into play next chapter. Be prepared for a lot of action! Make sure to leave a review for me and see you next time for chapter 3!
