Another Start
Fan Fiction Made By Blue Waters
I do not own the BOY/GIRL BATTLE SERIES. BUT IF I DID THE GIRLS WOULD HAVE STAYED IN BUCKMAN, AND I WOULD HAVE MADE A SEQUAL TO THE SERIES.
ENJOY THE CHAPTER!
Hello people of Fanfiction! I am back and ready to update! I would like to give a special thanks to my fellow authors and my wonderful reviewers.
Enjoy the chapter, though this one is a bit depressing. What Caroline explains later on, is based on what happened to my friend, me, and our other friends. I hope you will be pressing that little blue button on the bottom of the page to write awesome words…
CHAPTER 21: Traps
Caroline POV
I woke up the next morning with a headache. A really bad one. Way to start the day, feeling like you have a hangover.
Wally was already awake and looking up towards the sky. "Morning," he said brightly. "Morning." I mumbled back. I stood up, pulling leaves out of my hair. I would kill for a comb.
Wally stood up with me and we started walking. Not only was my head pounding, but I felt a bit dizzy too. Wally held my hand and stopped walking. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing," I lied. He shook his head. "Your walking a bit slower and you look pale. Seriously. What's wrong?"
I sighed. "I just feel a bit off that's all."
"What do you mean?"
"My head hurts a bit and I'm a little bit dizzy."
"Want to wait for a bit before we keep walking?" he offered. I shook my head. "It's going away now." I said. He raised his eyebrow at me. I sighed again and kissed his cheek. "Really, Wally. I'm fine,"
He let it go, but held on to me more firmly. To distract myself from the headache, I thought about the past four days. Then, I suddenly came to a sudden thought, and came to a halt.
"Wally. They don't know about the traps," I said horrified.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
"The traps that Will set up to catch the lions. Our siblings are looking for us right now. Heading this way. They don't know about the hunting traps. Wally, they'll walk right into them! Who knows what stuff Will used to capture the lions. What if they get shot in the head or something?" I explained in a rush. Wally's eyes were a bit wide and he looked grim.
"Can you run?" he asked. I nodded and said "The problem isn't if I can run or not. The problem is either if you can keep up with me or not," and we took off running.
Eddie POV
I woke up the next day with Jake's arm still around my waist. Slowly, I sat up, careful not to wake him. I slipped off his jacket that I was still wearing, replaced it with my own, and exited the tent. Once outside, I pulled my hair into a ponytail and slipped on my baseball cap. Beth was already outside of the grey tent, and sitting on the ground in front of the river. She saw me and said "Morning Big Sis," then tossed me something covered in aluminum foil. I opened it and saw it was a cheese sandwich then began to eat. Even though I'm a girl, I can eat like a bottomless pit. Same thing with my sisters. We never knew why. (I use this line all the time, especially when I go back for seconds during lunch at school. A lot of the boys look at me all weird every time I do.)
By the time I finished, the twins had already gotten up. Beth handed me two more sandwiches and I tossed them to Jake and Josh. Once they had wolfed down their own sandwiches, we packed things up. We decided to eventually cross th river, but to go one by one. First Josh crossed, then Beth. Then after my sister, I went.
The water was really cold, and rushed around my ankles. I carefully made my way across the river. I nearly slipped, nut I caught myself on a rock nearby. Finally, with my knees and ankles wet, I stumbled onto dry land. Jake then made his way across. Finally, he waded out of the rushing river. He was nearly onto shore, when he slipped. I caught him with one hand and pulled him onto land. "Watch it. I doubt that the rocks are willing to make friends with you," I said.
He rolled his eyes. "I run into one stupid tree, just one, so I make a lame joke, and no one lets me forget it."
We set of again.
We didn't walk very far, when we came to a circle of trees, eight in total. We walked across the circle, and we didn't get very far, when we heard shouting. I intently reconized the voices. Caroline and Wally. We found them.
At first, we saw them running towards us waving their arms and shouting "NOOOOO! DON'T!"
I was about to ask what were they shouting about, when suddenly, Beth ends up in a net and in the air.
Normal POV
Beth let out a shriek as a net came out from under her feet. She let out a "HELP" as she hung in the net nearly 9 feet into the air.
Caroline and Wally ran towards Jake, Josh, and Eddie. Wally was right a few feet away from Caroline, when the ground disappeared from under his feet. He fell down a hole about 7 feet deep and way to deep to climb out of.
Mean time, Eddie ran towards the tree to tey and help her sister, but got knocked out of the way by Jake as another net flew at her. The net caught Jake, who lost his balance, fell back and into the river.
"Jake!" Eddie yelled and dove in after him.
Eddie ignored the cold shock of the water and swam as fast as she could after Jake.
Jake was struggling with the net that dragged him deep into the water. Eddie held a small knife that she had hidden in her hiking boots. Jake finally stopped sinking since the net had caught on some rocks. Eddie finally reached him and opened the blade. She started sawing through the bindings and Jake pulled the net wider. Eddie ditched the knife and helped Jake out of the net.
They started swimming up. Their lungs felt like they were going to burst, but they didn't stop swimming. After what seemed minutes, when in reality it was 20 seconds, they bursted out of the water, gasping and gulping air. Panting, Jake and Eddie swam to shore. Jake pulled Eddie out of the river. Her hand was bleeding from where she had cut herself from cutting the net too fast. Jake had a small cut on his right temple from banging it on a rock. Eddie smiled at him, relieved. But her smile vanished.
Josh in the meantime, had climbed the tree to where Beth was. He carefully reached ut to her, and Beth reached out to him. He handed her something. It was a small knife. Beth cut a bit from the top of the net, big enough to slip through. She dropped the knife onto the ground below. She stuck out her head and arms out of the net and grabbed onto the branch that she was swinging from. Carefully, Josh held her steady as she pulled herself out of the net. Josh made his way to the tree trunk where the branch was about three feet wide. It should hold them both. Beth made her way towards Josh, focusing on him. Finally, she reached him and he hugged her against him. Thankfully, they were to high for their siblings to see.
Slowly they made their way down the tree. Beth grabbed a branch and quickly knew her mistake- the branch mad e a snappin noiose and broke. She fell several feet before she grabbed onto another branch.
"Beth!" Josh yelled down to her. "I''m fine!" She yelled back. She waited for josh to climb down to her , and they started climbing down together. Finally, they reached the ground.
Meantime, Caroline was stretching out her arm as far as she could, and so was Wally, but they still couldn't reach each other. And even if Caroline did get a grip on his hand, Wally doubted that Caroline was strong enough to pull him out of a hole. Caroline grimaced. She was even more dizzy now, and that was so not helping.
Eddie, Jake, Josh, and Beth rushed to help Caroline. Eddie couldn't reach him, but neither could Jake. Beth suddenly remembered something.
"Eddie, Caroline. Remember how our cousin Mary got stuck in that well when she was five?" she asked.
(Flashback)
Eddie and Caroline remembered how their cousin, Mary, had fallen into a well many years ago. The girls, being only 6(Caroline), 7(Beth), 8(Eddie), and 5(Mary's twin sister, Ruth), they didn't have many ideas at first. But then, Caroline had thought about a rope, but since they didn't have any on them, Eddie suggested a human rope. So, Eddie had held Beth by the ankles, Beth held Caroline, and Caroline held Ruth. Ruth had grabbed her sister's arms and slowly, Eddie pulled beth up, then they pulled up Caroline, then they pulled up Ruth and Mary out.
(End of flashback)
Eddie grinned. She ran up and told the twins about the plan. They agreed it was worth a shot, Caroline was held by Beth, who was held by Eddie, who was held by Jake, who was held by Josh. Caroline wasn't very happy about being held upside down when she was dizzy as hell, so she held her head up and focused on Wally's eyes. She hooked her arms with Wally's and Josh slowly pulled up Jake.
Jake and Josh both pulled Eddie out. The three of them pulled Beth out, and they all pulled Caroline along with Wally. As soon as Wally and Caroline were both out and on the ground, Jake and Josh both hugged Wally, much to his surprise. Beth hugged Caroline, while Eddie punched her instead, saying "Don't EVER scare me like that again!" and then pulled her baby sister into a huge hug. When they finally realeased Caroline and Wally, Eddie and Beth hugged Wally to his greater surprise, and Josh, and even Jake, hugged Caroline, much to HER surprise. When the hugs were over, Wally was grinning a little, but Caroline gave a weak smile.
Tears were pouring out of her eyes. "What's wrong?" Jake asked.
Caroline showed everyone her side, where a dart was stabbing her. The twins eyes widend, Eddie and Beth both gasped, and Wally dropped down to his knees next to Caroline asking when this happened. But all Caroline could manage was a small shrug before she blacked out.
Sorry about the depressing cliffhanger. But don't worry, I PROMISE you all a happy ending. I even have the layout for the sequal to this Fanfic in my iPod, but I am going to need some votes if yes, you do want a sequal, or no, you don't want a sequal. If it's a no, then I'll start my next B/G Battle Fanfic anyway. I'll update the next chapter as soon as possible, maybe by next week or so. IDK.
But anyway,PLEASE REVIEW!
LOVE YOU ALL!
LOVE AND PEACE, AND BACON! AND CHEESE,
