Chapter 19
A/N- So this is the hunt. That's all I got to say.

Boz's POV
I ran into the jungle. I need a plan. What am I going to do? In need to get as far away from the castle as possible. I'll go to the other side of the island. How do I get there? I'll just swing on vines through the jungle. Why am I asking myself all these questions? I don't know.
I ran to the jungle, grabbed a vine, and started to swing through the trees. After a few minutes I decided to take a break. I found a banana in a tree and started to eat it. Then I sat down on a log, which made me realize how tired I was. I laid down and started to doze off. There was no way Candace's father could find me here. I covered a lot of ground in a little time. How could I be so tired! I was knocked out for ten hours. That was the last thing I thought before I fell asleep.
I woke up with a stinging feeling in my neck. I felt my neck and pulled a dart out. Then Candace's dad jumped out of the bushes. I really need to learn his name. "How did you find me?" I yelled. "You were easy to track. You smell like rotting egg." When I get back Brady and Boomer are gonna hear about this. He walked towards me with a razor in his hand. Oh no, I'm gonna get shaved. I quickly climbed a nearby tree and started swinging away as fast as I could. "Run while you can! In a few minutes the dart will have you completely paralyzed!" I heard from behind me.
I didn't stop until I got to what used to be the Darkside. I climbed the tallest tree I could and tried to hide in the branches. I was losing feeling in my limbs. Soon I wasn't able to move at all. I laid in the branches for three hours. In just a few hours the night hunt would be over. I was beginning to regain feeling in my hands and toes. Then I heard it. Something moving beneath me. Suddenly, a grappling hook landed just next to me on the tree. I was able to turn my head just enough to see Candace's dad climbing up the tree on a rope.
I knew if I could ever date Candace I would have to keep him from getting up here. I don't know if it was the poison wearing off, or if it was just knowing the consequences of what could happen, but I was able to move my leg just enough to kick the grappling hook off of the tree. I heard a thud and I assumed it was Candace's dad hitting the ground. I relaxed for a few minutes, thinking that I was safe now. Feeling was coming back to my limbs. Then I heard a thudding noise. Then I heard it again. I propped myself up and saw Candace's dad, at the bottom of the tree, with an ax, trying to cut it down.
"What are you thinking?" I screamed. "You're allowed to hunt and shave me, but not kill me!" He didn't stop. "If you kill a king it's considered treason and you can be put in jail for the rest of your life!" The noise stopped. "Nobody dates my daughter without going through me!" I heard as the chopping resumed at a faster rate. And Brady he thought he had problems with Mason being overprotective. I had to get out of the tree. Using all of my strength, I stood up and propped myself against the trunk. I looked at the nearest tree. Under normal circumstances, the jump would have been easy for me, but these were not normal circumstances.
The tree started to shake beneath me. It was now or never. I jumped, and somehow managed to grab onto the other tree. Seconds later, the tree I was just on crashed to the ground. Then I heard screaming. "Oh no, he's yelling another war cry!" I ran away as fast as I could, which was more like a slow jog. The screaming continued. Maybe something was wrong. It could be a trap. But if something is wrong, helping him might get me on his good side. I'm going back.
Apparently, when you cut down trees in the jungle, there's a chance you could disrupt a waka waka nest. That's what had happened. The waka waka was attacking Candace's dad, and it looked as if he had already been bitten. Boomer had told me on his first day here he saw Mason take on a waka waka with his bare hands. Worth a shot. All I have to do is remember everything Jack and Kim taught me about karate.
I ran up behind the bug and karate chopped its back. It turned around and dived towards me. I punched it in the face and then followed up with a roundhouse kick. The waka waka hit the ground and then flew off. Candace's father was knocked out and the sun was starting to come up. I dragged Candace's father to the village and called for help. Some people came and helped me take him to the hospital.
I walked back to the castle and into the throne room. Boomer was sitting on the throne. Jack and Kim were asleep on one couch, and Brady and Mikayla were sitting on the other. Candace was pacing around the room. "Boz!" Candace yelled when he saw me, which woke Jack and Kim up. Candace ran over to me and gave me a hug that was more like a tackle. "You're not bald. I guess that's good," Candace said smiling. "Yeah I won," I told her, "but I need to tell you something." "Where's my dad at?" Candace asked me. "That's what I need to tell you. He's in the hospital. He was bit by a waka waka bug." "Oh no. When can we go see him?" "Right now if you want." "Yeah let's go. "Okay, we'll take the King Cruiser, but let me get something to eat first."
"That reminds me, did you eat your sock egg?" Brady asked. "I need to talk to you two about about that," I said in an angry tone as I looked at Brady and Boomer. I went to the kitchen, got a banana and then left for the hospital with Candace in the Cruiser.
A/N- Another early update. Don't get used to them. I estimate that this part of the story will continue for at least another five or six chapters. In the next chapter, Candace's dad wakes up and Brakayla and Kick try to give couple advice. Please excuse grammar mistakes.
