I'll never know how he kept his head, by my dad had that door open in record time. Water came pouring out and Donald lay on the floor. Molly got there first with me right behind her. I checked his pulse and sighed with relief. He was alive. He was alive!

He woke up a few minutes later, sitting up. I wanted to hug him, but Molly beat me to it, except she slapped him.

"Don't ever do that to me again!"

"Sorry. I'll try not to die from now on."

"You… are… impossible!"

"You haven't figured that out yet." He was on his feet. "Well I'm fine, so let's get going."

We walked back to where my dad was looking over a large pool of water. At the bottom was a wave encircled as we'd seen before. Across the pond was the circular room, I could see the coffin.

"It can't be that easy," was all my dad had to say. I knew he was right. Whoever built these was really good at puzzles. They knew what they were doing. "Dad, does your journal say anything?"

"I have nothing on this part. I suggest one of us swim across."

"Of course, if you want someone to possibly DIE," Molly commented. The girl caught on fast. Dad seemed to be examining every detail. We were all getting very impatient.

"Well…" I walked over to him, when of course I fell over my own two feet and toppled into the water.

"Sarah!" I came up coughing and froze for a moment when nothing happened. I was still alive, which is always good.

"What do you want me to do?" I was still frozen, except for the shaking. This water was COLD.

"Well, she should swim across, obviously." I was still frozen as Dad ignored her.

"Move across the room very slowly one step at a time. If I say so, get back here as fast as you can." I nodded and started across the water, I could touch the bottom. Everything seemed alright as I climbed out on the other side.

I rushed to the coffin and threw the lid off. "Nothing!" I heard groans and walked back to the water and climbed back in. Odd, it seemed almost tropical now. "Dad, the water got warmer!"

"Get over here quick!" I took off at a run when I heard something open.

"HURRY!" They all cried at the same time. I took off at a run.



"Oh my god, there's piranhas!" This made me freeze.

"RUN!" They cried again. I heard things swimming as I took off. I was almost there when I felt immense pain in my leg. The water started to turn red. "SARAH!" I felt more pain in the other leg. I continued to run, keeping my arm above the water.

"AHH!" My dad wasted no time. I threw out my hand and he pulled me out faster than I could blink. All I felt was immense pain in my legs. I looked down and saw they were red covered with small gashes. I started freaking out. I felt like I was being stabbed, it was so intense.

"How do we get out of here? We can't go back through that room again." I cried out again. Molly kneeled down and tore part of her dress. "I don't have enough for both of them." She started wrapping my leg and I heard more tearing as others donated fabric. She applied pressure as I again cried out. "Hey, it'll be alright. This is just going to help stop the bleeding."

Sallah leaned against a brick on the wall, resulting in an open door. I guess they figured no one would find that because the piranhas would devour them first. Everyone cheered as Dad hauled me into his arms and carried me out the door. They ran all the way to the car and placed me in the back. "Do you have a first-aid kit?" Donald pulled one out and handed it back to Molly.

"I should have gone out there instead of her."

"There's nothing you can do now but get out of my way so I can fix her up." I really liked this girl.

"You have medical background?"

"If you wouldn't have done all the talking and listened to me on our dates you would know both my parents were doctors. I know a thing or two. She's really torn up." Well, that made me feel better. I almost said that but nothing came out of my mouth. Donald, all frazzled over her comment, and I'll never figure this one out, managed to tip the car over.

My head slammed on the pavement and everything went fuzzy.

"Well, that was fun. Good going, Mr. Racecar Driver. Let's just make the girl bleed more and see if that helps."

R&R. Man, the girl gets hurt a lot. Well, she's human but maybe we should put someone else in danger next time.
