Lol, I'm out of it. It hit me, why keep telling you who each chapter's going to be about, if the very first thing in the chapter, is the person's POV? Lol.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
(Blake's POV)
It didn't really work out the way we would've liked.
Stopping a few moments later, some distance into the woods, I collapsed to my knees in agony and had my hands clapped over my ears. "Dude!" I called, feeling like my head was pounding even worse than before. "Where'd that come from??"
Hunter stumbled to a stop beside me and shook his head with a wince. "Well, guess the whole wind blowing by your ears thing is bad with newly heightened senses. So ninja streaking's out for now." He muttered as he rubbed his ears. "I guess it's safe to say that didn't work."
Think of running real fast, how the wind blows past your face. You can feel it, and with strong winds, you can hear it. Then increase that sound about ten times, and the pressure, and you'll have ninja streaking. It took a lot to get used to as a ninja, but with our senses that much more sensitive, it literally hurt us to run that fast.
Getting up slowly, I sighed and frowned at the headache I had, looking around. We were standing at the edge of a fast-moving river. There were boulders sticking up out of it that we could cross, and surprisingly, a few green crystals on those rocks. "Uh, Hunter?" Pointing to the crystals, I raised an eyebrow at him. "I think we're going the right way."
He raised an eyebrow back, but made a gesture to head towards the rocks and we began walking.
It wasn't easy getting used to the new senses. It was like I was on overload. I could now understand why Kendra let us get separated from the others, and what she meant. I felt like my body was high-strung, ready for an attack from anywhere.
Making it to the river's edge, I sighed as I looked around. "We'll have to climb across." And that water looks fast. Following the way the water flowed with my eyes, I saw a massive waterfall and felt my eyes widen. Great. "So, I'll go first, I guess?"
"No, I will." He argued with that 'don't bother arguing about it' tone, as he climbed out on the first boulder. Slipping a little, he crouched down and seemed to scan the water before leaping out to another one.
I watched silently in worry as he slowly leapt out a few more, until he was close to halfway across the river, then climbed up on the first boulder again. I slipped a little too, and felt my body go rigid when I realized just how slippery the rocks were. Glancing briefly at the waterfall, I felt my hand ghost over one of the crystals and looked down at it. We so can't slip now. I thought as I took a deep breath and jumped out to the first boulder.
Luckily, I watched as Hunter glanced back at me before carefully making his way a few boulders more.
I climbed over part of the one I was on before leaping to the next one and immediately jumping to the one after. Ok, so this isn't so bad. I saw one with a high peak coming and knew I'd have to jump, catch that peak and climb it. Or so I thought.
Slipping a little again, I braced myself as Hunter climbed up it with little trouble and turned to wait for me at the top. Holding my breath, I jumped as far as I could, and reached for the ledge, hoping against hope that I'd make it.
But I didn't.
I felt my hand hit the rock wall, just inches from the ledge, and my body began to fall. Then, a hand grabbed mine and began pulling up. Whoa, talk about déjà vu. Looking up, I gave Hunter a look when I saw him giving a cocky, albeit worried grin. "Don't you dare say a word." I warned as he pulled me up a little, and I managed to grab on to the ledge.
Once I managed to haul myself over, I glared at him, just waiting for him to say what I knew was on his mind.
"Like I said, always saving your butt!" he laughed out as he sat on part of the large boulder.
Shaking my head, I opened my mouth to say something when I saw something moving behind him. Closing my mouth again, I stared at it and felt my eyes widen as my vision got extremely clear. It was like someone hit the zoom button on my eyes. I could see tons of fairly big spiders running out of a hole behind him, only these things were yellow in color, and had these odd legs that seemed to stick up higher than most spiders.
Looking to the hole they were coming out of, I saw some with red spots on their backs, and in the hole were what looked like bones. I couldn't make it out clearly. "Um, Hunter, you might want to move." I stated as my throat dried up.
Those spiders were scurrying right at my bro!
"As in now!" I called, grabbing his arm and pulling sharply as I jumped to the next boulder.
"Whoa!" he called as he shakily followed me. "Dude, Blake! What was that about?!"
Looking back at the boulder, I pointed to the hundreds, if not thousands of spiders coating the rocks he'd been sitting on. "Could just be me, but those didn't look friendly." I said with a grimace.
He shuddered with a face of his own and nodded a little. "You know, I agree."
"And you were saying about always saving my butt." I threw at him before turning and jumping to a smaller boulder, continuing my way to the other side of the river. Once there, I turned and watched as Hunter followed me, slipping once, and giving me a playful glare when got to the other side.
Brushing my hands off on the shirt I had taken off earlier and tied around my waist again, I vaguely noticed that even by the water, the air didn't lighten at all. Looking to the forest, I knew we had a long ways ahead of us. Who knew just how long, so with a final look at Hunter to make sure he was alright, I began walking.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Finally got a POV change in there, huh? Ok, spiders aren't scary to a lot of people, but I'm arachnophobic, so…..
Also, just a notice I'm going to try to make the chapters a little longer. And if you ever find where the quote should be, it's empty… It's because the chapter was prepared ahead of time and I created it before I wrote any farther and I didn't have a quote to put down.
Hope you liked it.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Dude, you just had to fall in!"
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
R+R please.
Thank you.
