Louis and Lori hid behind a bush as the two brothers approached the trap underground. The whole herd was hiding all around the trap. The possums, not including half possums, were in the trees, the mammoths were hiding behind some boulders, and the sabers were in some bushes.
Louis' brothers popped up out of the ground and walked toward the berry bush. Just as predicted, they tripped the vine. Surprise was evident as they were yanked up into the air and dangled by their ankles parallel to each other.
"Help!" They both screamed.
Lori waited a second for dramatic effect and then stepped out from behind the bush twirling her knife around her finger by the thumb hole.
"Oh, wow, Look at you two. I didn't expect to see you here." She said, sarcasm dripping from every word.
"Thank goodness!" Mark exclaimed. "I thought we were going to be stuck here forever!"
"Mark." Noah said. "Doesn't it seem a little fishy to you that she just so happens to be here?"
"Well, now that you mention it…" Mark trailed off.
"So, what do you want in return for letting us go?"
Peaches walked forward and stood right in front of Louis' brothers.
"We want you to stop beating up Louis!" She said jabbing him in the stomach with her trunk.
"And if we refuse?" Noah asked.
"We leave you here, to fend for your self's." Shira said walking up to them. "And may I remind you that we are the only one that now where this is."
"You couldn't just leave us here." Mark said trying but failing miserably to hide his anxiety.
"Watch us." Lori said smiling. Everyone turned and walked away into the woods.
"Lori, what are we doing?" Louis asked enviously. Lori looked strait ahead as she counted down.
"Three…two…one."
"Wait!" Noah and Mark yelled after them.
How did she know that was gonna happen? Louis thought.
"Just call it intuition." Lori said as if she had read his mind. Everyone turned around and looked back at the brothers.
"Does this include mental beating?" Mark asked.
"Yes…" Lori said
"Fine, we'll do it."
Lori held out her knife to her side and Eddie grabbed it as he ran by her and ran up the first tree that had mark dangling from it.
"Careful Eddie!" Finn said nervously.
Mark slammed into the ground on his head and did a little of a head stand before tipping over onto his back. Noah expertly grabbed the vine around his ankle so that he almost landed on his feet when he hit the ground. They brushed themselves off, looking around at the group. Lori threw her knife up into the air and caught it at the handle, pointing the tip at Louis' brothers and baring her teeth menacingly. They ran off and Lori smiled, proud of herself as ever.
Ugg, writers block. thank god that's over, it was painful to write that chapter. finally I can get on to the good stuff, MOHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!
