Chapter 2
"I think the cry came from behind the bushes," I said to Chris pointing towards my left. Chris held my hand and we tip-topped, without making any sound.
"Help!!" Somebody shouted. I turned towards my right to see Monica shouting. Somebody was on her. Wait...he had wings. He was a huge creature with sharp claws. I was not able to see anything as it was so dark. He raised his claws to hurt Monica.
"Noooo wait," I said shouting. I tried to move forward and help Monica, but Chris stopped me.
"Leave me " I yelled.
"No, he'll hurt you" he yelled back.
"So should I just stand here and look that weird - dangerous creature hurt my friend?" I yelled pushing Chris away. I picked up a stick and went towards the creature when he looked at me. I was about to see his face when he picked me up and threw me far away. "Aaaaaa" I cried. I fell on the ground, hitting my hand on a rock. My head hurt with that dangerous stunt. That creature had pushed me too hard.
"Mia, oh god!!. Are you alright?" Chris asked helping me sit. I ignored his question and looked here and there.
"Where's Monica?" I asked.
"Jake took her inside her tent. She's fine. She is just a bit scared" Chris explained.
"Who was tha.. ouch " I cried. My hand was bleeding.
"Oh, Mia. I can't see you in pain" he cried.
"It hurts " I cried.
"One-minute dear," he said. He ran his hand on my wound and closed his eyes. And in a second the pain vanished. The wound was gone.
"How did you do that?" I asked examining my hand.
He hesitated a bit and then answered "I applied some herb which I picked up from the bushes ". That was weird. How did he get the herb? I didn't...
