Chapter 7 Passageway, a New Traveling Buddy
We headed into the passageway, weapons ready. The dripping of water and the shushing of water filled our ears as we continued further into the tunnel.
"You think we should have brought her with us?" Brad asked as we walked. I looked at him if he was crazy.
"What? She does have a jewel and it seemed that she didn't want to stay there."
"True, but we can't take care of her. What if a monster shown up? We don't know if she can fight. She may have a jewel but a child should not be around people like us." With that said, we entered a chamber of some sort. In the center, a giant rock spike hung, almost touching the ground. Moss clenched to the ceiling. I then felt a breeze.
"Did you feel that?" I asked.
"Feel what?"
"That breeze, didn't feel that breeze?"
"What are you talking about? There can't be a breeze down here." He then started to walk pass the giant spike. As he was walking pass, I noticed that the moss from the ceiling was moving toward him.
"Brad! The moss!" I yelled to him. He saw the moss move toward him and he cut it before it got any closer. I then felt another breeze and it felt like it was coming from the big spike. I looked toward it. I then realized it wasn't a spike but a rock monster. Its arms were the moss on the ceiling and its eyes were tentacles that were also made out of moss.
"Me will eat you!" It said, its jaggier rock teeth being shown as it talked. It then attacked us with its moss like arms. I hacked and slashed at it, but his arm kept coming at me. It seemed that the arm wasn't getting shorter. I took a quick look at Brad. It seemed that he was having as much luck as I was at getting pass this thing, but that quick look was all the monster need. It grabbed me with its wet, slimy hands and lowered me towards its mouth.
"No! Alex!" Brad yelled, but he got hit to the ground by the other moss arm. Thinking that this was the end, I closed my eyes and waited. I then felt something whiz by me. The monster screamed in pain and he dropped me to the ground.
"Use some burn outs on its arms. Do it quickly!" A familiar voice said behind me. Not going against its orders, I took two burn outs from my pouches and threw them at the monster's arms. The arms went a blaze and the monster screamed in pain. I ran to Brad. I had put him on my back, which was quit a task, and carried him out of the passageway. We exited the passageway and entered a forest. I took Brad off my back and leaded him against a tree. I then lay on the ground, waiting for Brad to wake up.
'Hope he wakes up soon.' I thought. I then heard something in the bushes. I stood ready, my sword in hand. The thing moved again, and I charged it. I knocked the person over and dragged him into the light. It was Jacqueline.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"What does it look like? I am running away again."
"Why are you running away anyway?"
"I don't want to live in a temple all my life. I want to go out and see the world. Plus," She looked at me with a sly look on her face.
"If you don't take me with you, I can say that you two kidnapped me for a ransom."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Oh yes I would."
"What is with all the yelling?" we looked to were the voice came from. Brad was standing up, looking at the two of us.
"Brad, we can't take her with us."
"Why not?" She questioned.
"You are a child. We can't do jobs, fight monsters, and protect you all the time."
"He does have a point." Brad said.
"Who says you have to protect me? I can fight."
"Yeah? With what?"
"My fists are my weapons."
"Ok, so you can fight, big deal. So can we."
"Want to fight me?" I would not normally fight little kids, but she was really getting on my nerves.
"Bring it on, tiny!" I started to take my sword out but Brad stopped me.
"What's up? Why you stop me?"
"She can come along." I gave him a shocked look. She on the other hand was jumping for joy.
"Oh thank you, thank you." She ran up to him and gave him a big hug.
"OK, fine, she can come, but you are responsible for her."
"OK." He nodded.
'How do I know I that I am going to regret this?' I thought as I started to head up the road.
"Come on you two. Lets go." I said.
"Oh, guys. Can you do me a favor?" I turned around and looked at Jacqueline.
"Depends on the favor." I said.
"Alex!" Brad yelled at me. I gave a 'What?' look. He then turned to Jacqueline.
"What is the favor?"
"Can you two call me Blitz? I don't want people to know who I am and they will find out if you two keep calling me Jacqueline."
"OK, Lets go Tiny." I said.
"It's Blitz!"

So, PLEASE don't give me reviews to update sooner cuz I am going to start to be overwhelmed between school and my stories. Anyway, thanks you to my new review, YamiJeff. Thank you. Now I got two reviewers, yeah!
