Do no insult me. I wanted to put this creature in for a reason. It will make sense soon.
Chapter 6 So Close
"So, Hershel Layton. What do you like to do?" Caroline asked.
"Me? Well, I love solving puzzles." Hershel answered as they walked through a forest.
"And drinking tea!" Flora giggled.
"Is that right?" Caroline bit her lip.
"Shouldn't every English gentleman like tea?" Hershel took the rim of his hat and straightened it out.
"I guess." Luke answered.
The four of them continued walking silently. Then all of a sudden trees started to fall. "What this?" Hershel asked surprised. A giant tree fell right in front of them.
"Hurry! Let's get out of here!" Caroline shouted. They started to run further and further into the woods. Caroline tripped over a root and fell to the forest floor.
"Caroline!" Hershel shouted.
"It alright. Just leave me." Caroline shouted back. Hershel shook his head. He ran over to Caroline and grabbed her hand. He looked behind him at the falling trees. His eyes went big.
"What the?" His mouth opened to mouth the words impossible. He picked up Caroline in his arms and started running.
Caroline got out of his arms and started to run herself. The four of them came upon a bridge. "Get across quickly!" Hershel shouted.
"What's chasing us?" Luke asked.
"A…..A dragon."
"A what!" Flora asked.
*Grahhhhh!* The four of them saw a massive dragon behind them. The wing span was almost unmeasurable.
"Go across NOW!" The four of them ran across the bridge, but the bridge was unsteady.
"Careful." Caroline ordered. When they came upon the middle of the bridge the rope on it started to rip.
"Hold on!" Hershel grabbed onto the kids. Caroline held onto Hershel's arm. *SNAP!* The bridge from under their feet. They fell down, down, down to the water below.
