Chapter 5:Tiger and Plants
"What do we do? We're trapped at one end by a tiger and the other by a bear!"
Debbie was going a little nuts.The tiger continued growling,as though trying to get them to bolt like frightened rabbits,which seemed to be working on Debbie.
"Maybe it'll stay there if we don't move......"
"We can't just stand like this forever."
"I know,but we can't run,it'll pounce on us at our slightest movment and if we try scaring it off,it might make it angry."
Then Eliza had an idea,but it'd be risky.Slowly she eased toward the hatch and the kitchen.The tigger didn't notice her,so she safely got to the kitchen.She opened the refrigerator and pulled out some of her dad's can of kippers.Coming back,she opened the canned fish and set it down on the floor,sliding it toward the tiger.It snarled as the dusgusting smell filled the air,butstill,he dove for the food.The Thornberrys were gone in an instant and were out of the Commvee within a minute.Mainly because the bear's claws were still stuck.
"Mom.Your turn."
Marianne picked up the dreaded tool for summoning all this danger,shook carefully,then let it fly.She rolled a 3.Then peered into the middle of the broad.
"They grow much faster than bamboo,take care or they'll come after you."
She groaned as the plants started appearing and rooting on the beautiful trees that encircled them,thus trapping them inside.They watched as the purple flowers started to appear and they weren't really happy about it either.
"Ok.That's not good..."
Debbie shivered and said angrily."Not now,Donnie."
But then she realized it wasn't Donnie,but a vine slowly wrapping around her leg.It give a hard pull and Debbie lost her balance.She screamed as it started pulling her away.Nigel leapt forward and grabbed his older daughter's hands then tried to pull her to a stop,but the vine continue to pull in the other direction,dragging him along with it.
"Get it off!"shrieked Debbie in panic.
Eliza sprang and grabbed her father's jacket,pulling.The large yellow flower appeared,open wide,ready to eat Debbie the second it got to her.
"Hang onto her,Nigel!"yelled Marianne.
"Pull!"
Unaware to them,Donnie had rushed to the vine that had ensnared Debbie's leg.Jabbering wildly,he sank his teeth into it.It wasn't long before the vine snapped.Debbie,Nigel and Eliza flew backwards as the large flower retreated into the darkness.
to be continued.
It's been a while,but I've been getting ideas for new stories,add onto the fact that I only really have an hour and it's usually spent chatting with my friends or something....Hope you like it.
