Spot's POV

"Are we almost there?" I asked.

"Yes now will you stop acting like a five year old?" Henry asked.

"Ya know I am very offended by that." I said.

"Well get over it." Race said and I slapped him in the back.

"Shut up." I said.

"Make me." Race said.

"I will." I retorted.

"Oh yeah how?" Race asked.

"By sticking your foot so far up your ass you won't be able to see." I said and he started laughing.

"I'd like to see you try." Race said.

"Well come close enough and I will." I said motioning toward him with my hand.

"PEOPLE!" Jack yelled.

"What?" Me and Race asked in unison.

"This is not the time! We have two of our best friends dying and all you can think about if fighting!" Jack yelled.

"Sorry." We both mumbled. There was really nothing better to do at the time and it was getting our minds off of the subject instead of slowing us down by thinking about it every two seconds but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make Jack even more mad.

"So where is this gold stick again?" Blink asked changing the subject.

"It's past all of these woods and the lake in the hills near a pond called the pure water pond." Henry said moving a branch out of his way.

"Why do they call it that?" Blink asked.

"Because the water in the pond is so pure that it looks like your staring into a mirror." Henry said.

"Cool." Blink said ducking under a low branch.

"Well can we move a little faster? I mean we don't have much time." Jack asked.

"We are moving as fast as we can. All these trees and stiff are slowing us down greatly." Henry said.

We walked for a few more minutes in silence before we got to the end of the woods and were faced with one of the hugest lakes I had ever seen.

"How are we going to get across that?" I asked as we stepped up to the edge of the water and looked in.

"Good question." Henry said.

"Well we could just swim." Race said.

"You don't know what's in that water." Blink said. "There may be snakes or something."

"Well we don't have time to do anything else." Jack said as he stepped into the water. "We have to hurry."

Jack was followed by Blink and then I noticed that Henry had just transported himself to the other side of the lake.

Lucky damn ghost.

I got in after Blink and Race followed me.

The water was freezing! I felt like I was about to be frozen alive!

We were about half way there when I heard Race scream from behind me.

I shot around to see what was wrong and he was gone.

I went back to look for him with Blink and Jack in toe when he came up gasping for air but then was pulled back under by...something.

I looked around some more but couldn't find him.

He came back up and my eyes for ten times wider when I saw what had hold of his arm.

It was a crocodile.

And it wasn't just any crocodile. This one was about 10 Jack's put together.

I ran to Race and with Blink and Jack's help started to try to open the crocodile's jaws.

His grip was too tight and soon he had us all under the water.

I saw Henry get a stick from on ground and then came and started beating the croc in the head with it.

I guess this was too much for him and he let go of Race.

We got Race to the other side of the lake and laid him on the ground.

He was bleeding very badly from his arm.

I looked at the other guys and noticed that I was the only one with a shirt on. Well they didn't have time to put one on with all that was happening.

I took my shirt off and wrapped Race's arm up tightly in it.

The bleeding seemed to stop after a minute and we helped Race to his feet.

"Ok who's idea was it to swim across?" Race asked and I rolled my eyes.

"It was yours dumbass." I said and he smiled.

"Oh." He said as he started to blush a little bit.

"Well let's get going." Race said and we set fourth on our journey.

Skittery's POV

This was too much! I couldn't take it anymore.

It was like a million people were stabbing me with knives every second.

"I wonder if this is what hell is like." Mush said weekly from across from me.

"Well if it is I'm just glad I believe in Jesus." I said through the pain.

"Yeah me too." He said.

I looked up at him and saw tears of pain running down his face. That's when I realized that I was crying too.

I'm sure it only lasted an hour or 30 minutes at the least but it seemed like eternity.

But then it stopped just like the burning pain had stopped.

"Oh shit not again!" I said. I knew that each pain was going to get progressively worse and I did not want to know what was coming next.

But then it hit.

It was like I was being eaten alive by lions or something and right now I wish they would just send in some hungry lions so I could be rid of all of this pain.

AN: Gees I don't like making them suffer like that. But don't worry it won't last for much longer.
