Chapter 5 If Today was your last day
If I just told you that today was going to be your last day to live on this planet and tomorrow you will die, what will you do?~Doc
Daring-Doo found her way to the temple of doom, so they called it anyway. Something about this temple was puzzling Daring, the door was left wide open, there were no traps, it was just a simple snatched and grab. The question that Daring-Doo was asking herself was that if it was so easy taking the statue, how come no other explores where able to take it for themselves? Daring-Doo did not like what she was facing against as she walk deeper into the temple.
She found a bottom floor of the Temple with light coming from the entrance. "There shouldn't be any light in this place." Daring-Doo told herself as she floated her way down to the bottom instead of walking. With her bad wing it hurt a little bit but nothing she can't handle. As she made her way through the entrance it was like a giant pool. And in the middle of the pool was the statue. As Daring came closer she notice all of the skulls, must have been the other explores that came here she told herself as she came closer to her prizes.
Once she was facing the statue, something told her to look around more carefully. All of these explores had died, and it was really easy reaching the statue, if she takes the statue will the door close before she will get a chance to escape? There is some kind of a trick, there always is. "This is too easy; I don't like easy…if something is too easy it make me nervous."
Daring tail lightly brush against her whip, she complete forgot she had a whip; it was a gift from the Doc. With a smile Daring came up with an idea. She grabs her whip and tied it around the statue, trying not to move it to trigger any kinds of traps. With the statue tied to the whip, Daring walk back to the entrance of the cave and jerk the statue toward her. She caught it with her hat and places it on her head. "Pure gold…and still no traps. Maybe all of the other explores had set all of them already." With that theory Daring turned around and bump into something, as she look she saw the most ugly creature she ever seen in her life…a monkey with a naked skull on its head but fur on its body and claws where about three times to long.
"You are the trap I see." With a smile Daring-Doo quietly back up as she look around more of these monkeys where starting to appear. "Now I see the danger in this place…I been in worst, remember the sand pit trap Daring…much worst." One of the monkeys chases after her and she deflected his attack by her whip, then two came at a time, then three, then four. The monkeys just kept on coming after her until she was finally trap. With her last breath Daring-Doo back kick a monkey in its head which made him flinch a little giving Daring enough time to high tale her way out of that place, the chase was on as she look behind her to see the monkeys starting to chase her.
