We had been walking for a few hours and my leg wasn't getting any better, if anything it was worse "Are we there yet?" Gabato whined as we walked across a few stones in a river "We get there when we get there Gabby" Alexander replied, there was a faint rumbling but we all heard it "What was that?" Sean asked nervously,
the rumbling came again only this time it shook the ground harder "We gotta go, move move" Hank said, we all rushed across the rocks quicker and it killed my leg "Wait what is that?" Kailani asked looking up, I looked aswell to see some small dots of something falling from the sky, it looked a little like ash but it was sparkling
"Volcanic ash?" Sean asked, I held out my hand and a few dots landed, but it wasn't ash I knew that for sure "It look's like..." "Gold" Alexander finished when Gabato couldn't "Pure gold" he said "That must be the treasure Robert Louis Stevenson was talking about on treasure island, Volcano's are made out of what they errupt so if that things errupting gold then it's..."
Sean stopped and faced us "Mountain of gold" Gabato said in awe "Must be massive gold pellets everywhere let's go check it out" Sean said heading for the volcano "Hold on, that'll take us days out of our way we don't have the time" Hank said holding the map "Let's make the time, I mean volcanic gold that's a huge scientific brakethrough"
Sean said "Look I understand that but we gotta get to the nautilus" Hank replied "Hank I'm not just a little kid, I get a say in this too" Sean said "Sean I am responsible for you I'd never take a chance with your life" Hank said, Sean was lucky to have Hank in his life because my dad could care less about me
"Hey you can't tell him what to do, your not the boys father" Alexander said "Well from what I hear you haven't been much of a grandfather" Hank replied "Well I've given him something to live up to, science, adventure, wonder..what have you ever given him?" Alexander asked "I've given him a lot of things Alexander, a sense of responsibility being one of them, something clearly you don't have. Your not going for that gold, were getting outta here end of discussion"
Hank said turning back to Sean, Sean scoffed and I decided to help out with this bad situation "Sean please, I'm scared and I just wanna get off this island as soon as possible" I said honestly, I wasn't lying I was actually terrified at the thought of drowning, but who wasn't? "Fine" he snapped, he stormed off and I rolled my eyes at how childish he was sometimes,
I walked behind Kailani who hung back a bit "Is he always like that?" she asked motioning to the pissed off Sean, I nodded "Pretty much" I replied, my leg stung again only this time it went further down,
I winced and held it "Are you okay Lanie?" she asked a little worried, I nodded "Yeah, I caught my leg on something in the cave but don't worry it'll be fine" I replied reasuringly, she nodded and we carried on.
After walking a while longer we reached a dead end, sort of "Alexander are you sure your compass readings are correct?" Hank asked folding the map "Course I am, why?" Alexander asked "Why because were down here and we need to be all the way up there" Hank said pointing to the top of the large mountain
"To every problem there is a solution my large friend, and I think this might be a fun one" Alexander said in thought "You think this might be a fun one? Well does anybody have an' umbrella because Mary Poppins here is gonna fly us up onto that cliff" Hank said mockingly "I knew you'd be great for something, better wait here Henry"
Alexander said, he dissapeared into the bushes and we all watched curiously "Where's he going?" Gabato asked "I don't know but that guys completely out of his mind" Hank said, my eyes widened as Alexander rose up ontop of a large bee, I covered my mouth feeling very sick "Oh I certainly am, it turns out mounting the bee is easy, if you don't look into it's eyes"
Alexander said, my leg was killing and I was on the edge of puking, this was not a good day for me "That is so sick" Sean exclaimed in awe, I gagged "Don't say that" I muttered, I took one glance at the bee and it was enough for me "Oh god" I said, I ran behind one of the large plants and bent over, the puke wasn't coming out yet but I wished it would
"Lanie, you okay?" Kailani asked standing next to me, I shook my head and stood up straight "I don't do good with bee's" I replied, she nodded "Don't worry you can ride with Sean" she said not getting it "No Kailani, I'm allergic to bee stings, if one sting from a tiny one when I was five nearly killed me imagine what this could do"
I said, her eyes widened "Okay that's bad" she said biting her lip, I nodded "I'm gonna go get Sean" she said, I nodded and she ran back "Lanie what's the matter?" Sean asked, Kailani was with him "I'm allergic to bee stings" I explained, his eyes widened "Why didn't you tell me before?" he asked, I glared "I didn't think I'd have to worry about riding one"
I snapped, he nodded "Okay well, it won't sting you Lane's, I swear c'mon just close your eyes and hold onto me, like when we were on my dirtbike" he said, I sighed "I don't know" I said nervously, he held out his hand "You trust me right?" he asked, I thought it over for a moment "Yes" I said taking his hand, he smiled and we walked back,
except we past the others and he managed to jump onto one of the bees, I was next to it with wide eyes "I change my mind" I squeeked, he rolled his eyes "C'mon Lane's, either this or you drown" he said,
I groaned knowing he was right, I took a deep breath before throwing one leg over, I sat down and held onto Sean's waist, the bee was surprisingly comfy, but then again it was very furry "You holding on?" he asked, I nodded and we flew up.
