I was awoken by the robotic voice yet again "Mission three"
Oh no not anther mission come on I need a few days rest. I had a horrible lightheaded feeling like I was falling over but I was still lying down. I pull myself up to the horrible realization it was not all in my head. There was sand all around the glade all around us. I look over to Gully's bed just across from me was doing the same thing just looking around. He looked back and me and called out.
"Gemma you are sinking." My stomach sunk along with my hammock. I was sinking and didn't know what to do.
"Its quick sand what ever you do not struggle you will sink faster!" Alby called out from his hammock. I tried my hardest to lie completely still I had to slow down my breathing or else I will sink faster my heart was going 1000 miles an hour. I heard from the distance newt call out with a frontend voice.
"Guys." I looked obvert to newt to see that he was sinking to. Alby reputed his instructions for everyone to all stay still. I knew that it would take a longer time to sink if I stayed still but I will still end up eventually sinking. My Body just took over my mind and I rolled out of my hammock and landed in the sand. It was a horrible feeling it was yielding under weight and therefore tending to suck down any object resting on its surface and in this case it was I and all the other gladder. I had to go to the metal box maybe there was something that could save us all. I knew it would put me on the top of the tally but it was to save my friends it's worth it. I had to find a way of getting over to the box.
"What are you doing Gemma?" Alby said yelling at me while he was still in his hammock.
"Its too dangerous!" Newt said also calling from his hammock.
"Yes while that is true it is also rediculacly dangerous to just sit there and do nothing and slowly thing to our deaths." I replied fast as every movement was fragile.
Alby called out from his hammock
"Listen to me Gemma and listen closely do everything say relax if you panic you will sink farther but if you relax your body's buoyancy will cause you to float. Breathe deeply. Not only will deep breathing help you remain clam, it will also make you more buoyant. Keep as much air in your lungs as possible just incase you go under. Get on your back and swim the more you spread out the harder it is for you to sink. Float on your back while slowly and carefully extricate your legs. Once your legs are free you can inch yourself to safety by using your arms to slowly and smoothly propel yourself backward with your arms in a sweeping motion, as if you were swimming. " I listened carefully word for word of what Alby was saying. I trend everything slowly and carefully. It wasn'tgoung to be easy to get moving but it was working what Alby was saying. I wasn't far from the box I was only a couple of center meters away I reached my hand out as far as I good while turning on my stomach. I struggled to keep myself up so far I was just hooding onto the box with most my strength. I slowly opened the lid of the box.
"What is it Gemma?" Alby called out
