Soft footsteps ran anxiously toward the dark looming trees. Following them were angry and excited pairs of footsteps. Running for her life, Mariposa leaped into the forest. Pain shot through her legs as she landed on her knees.
"Ohhhh God, please help me." She gasped but her feet picked up the pace and continued running. Laughs and howls of hunger filled the air as three girls chased Mariposa through the woods. Branches reached out and tore at Mariposa's face and costume dress. Mariposa was soon aware of the increasing volume of the footsteps behind her.
"Faster, Faster, FASTER!" she whispered to herself and her legs burst with acceleration. Deeper and deeper into the woods she ran until her legs could carry on no farther. The ground reached up and pulled Mariposa to its cool surface.
Closing her eyes, she listened for the hungry predators.
"Did you see her Angelica?"
"No Jackie. How' bout you Brittany?"
"Damn. She escaped. Keep searching, she's around here somewhere."
"Aw man. Do we have to? It's really dark now."
"Yeah, can't we leave?"
"NO! I'm not leaving until I've taught that little twerp a lesson! So shut up and search!"
"Jeez, alright already. It's just that this forest gives me the creeps."
Mariposa shuddered at the sound of their voices. She slowly got to her feet and prepared herself to run again when a voice suddenly spoke behind her.
"You little wrench! I'll teach you a lesson for stealing my man!"
Mariposa felt she being yanked from the ground and thrown against the tree. She groaned with pain as she slumped to the ground.
"Yeah Brittany! Show her who's boss!" shouted the two very excited Angelica and Jackie. As Mariposa tried to stand up, her left cheek met with Brittany's angry right hand. SLAP! The pain of the slap brought Mariposa down again to her knees. But with determination, the injured girl brought herself to a standing position, facing a very angry Brittany.
"Who do you think you are, talking to my ex boyfriend!"
" I'm sorry. I only laughed at his joke. I won't talk to him anymore. Lo prometo! I promise!"
"I'll make sure you WON'T!"
And with a roar, Brittany lunged forward and tackled Mariposa. Unfortunately for them, they were fighting at the edge of a tall steep cliff, the bottom a long, powerful rushing river. Quickly, Mariposa shoved away from Brittany but watched in horror as Brittany started to roll toward the edge of a cliff. Brittany was so dizzy that she continued rolling and if she didn't stop, she would go over the cliff.
"NOOOOO!" yelled Mariposa as she blocked Brittany from rolling over the cliff but unfortunately Brittany was rolling so fast that she pushed Mariposa over the cliff.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" she screamed as she fell down, towards the rushing river.
