Koda ran far ahead of us and Kenai and I trailed behind. As delicately as we could, we made our way across this valley of fire. I stuck to Kenai as close as I could because I was genuinely terrified, which was something because normally Kenai and I were daredevils, but, even we knew when not to cross the line... Most of the time.

        "Hey! You sure you know where we're going?" Kenai questioned as we tried to catch up to Koda. We heard him say, "Yeah! Yeah! Follow me!" We continued on and Kenai said, "Keep close to me, Tehya." I nodded in response. I'm not planning on leaving his side anytime soon. Then, the ground beneath Kenai's foot crumbled and steam came out of it. We quickly backed up. I looked around noticing that our small friend was missing.

        "Koda? Koda?" I shouted walking around.

        "Koda? Where are you?" Kenai wondered. We looked around, but we couldn't see him. Suddenly,  heard Kenai scream and I screamed to because I thought something terrible was happening. I turned to see Koda laughing his head off. Really?

        "Don't do that." Kenai stated.

        "Scared you, didn't I?" Koda said.

        "There's scared and then there's surprised." I stated trying to brush off my fear. Maybe this place isn't so bad after all if Koda wasn't afraid of it.

        "And you two were both." Koda pointed out. Kenai and I glared at him, but Koda's attention was drawn to something else. "Whoa." He said. We turned to see what he was looking at and saw that there was a rock formation shaped like a skull. I turned to see Kenai smirking and knew what he had planned out. He roared right behind Koda, but Koda didn't even flinch. This kid was going to be hard to get pay back. Koda chuckled and turned to him, "Nice try. Ah. You gotta little spit right there." I looked at Kenai and laughed as I saw that he did have drool hanging out of his mouth.

        "Huh. Kenai, Tehya." Koda said. Fear was written across his face.

        "You're not getting us this time." Kenai said.

        "No, Kenai, Tehya look out!" Koda shouted. Suddenly, a spear was thrown inches from us. We turned around and saw Denahi. He had caught up with us.

        "Come on!" Koda shouted. I was about to run, but Kenai wasn't moving. I shouted, "Kenai!" The ground beneath Kenai's foot grumbled and steam puffed out. He still wasn't moving. Then, he roared and stood on his hind legs. He came came crashing down and the ground broke beneath him and the steam poured forth and prevented Denahi from hurting him. He turned to me and yelled, "Run, Tehya!" We were able to get across the valley and there was log for bridge leading to the forest. We were going to get out of here.

        "Kenai! Tehya! Kenai, Tehya, where are you?" We heard Koda shout. He wasn't on the other side. I looked at Kenai and Kenai looked back at me and said, "Tehya, stay here. I'll be back. If Denahi comes, run across the bridge." He took off back into the valley. I waited anxiously for them. It wouldn't be long before Denahi shows up. Then, I saw Kenai and Koda running towards me.

        "Go across the bridge, Tehya!" Kenai shouted while holding Koda. I began running, but almost slipped off. I would have to walk, but walk as fast as I can. I hurried across the bridge, then heard Koda shout. I turned around and saw that they were walking slowly now to otherwise they would fall into the river below.

        "Kenai!" I shouted as I spotted Denahi. I felt so helpless. What could I do? What could I do? Denahi lodged his spear into the log and attempted to take out the log bridge. Kenai nearly slipped and fell into the water. "Kenai!" I shouted in fear again. He stood up and tossed Koda over to me. Denahi kept trying to take out the log bridge. The spear broke and he resulted to using his hands and was successful. Kenai barely made it to the other side before the log bridge collapsed.

        I ran up to Kenai and hugged him while I heard Denahi shout, "NO!" I let go of Kenai and we both watched Denahi pace back and forth. My heart broke for him. I have never before more desperately wanted to reach out to him and tell him that it was Kenai and I. I watched in horror as Denahi jumped and barely cling onto the log. It wouldn't hold him for long. I had to do something. Otherwise, he was going to fall into the river below. I couldn't lose another brother. I climbed onto the log trying desperately to grab him with my jaws.

        "Tehya!" Kenai shouted from behind me.

         Denahi tried to swipe at me, but as his hand fell, I caught hold of his sleeve and attempted to pull him up. The log was steady for the moment and I turned to see that Kenai was holding it.

        "Tehya, hurry! I can't hold it much longer." Kenai yelled. I tried to pull Denahi up, but I was struggling. He was too heavy for me.

        "Kenai! Help me! I can't hold him much longer." I yelled. Suddenly, the log shifted and I stumbled and fell with the log and Denahi. Denahi and I both screamed. Then, someone grabbed the fur on the scruff on my neck, but the sleeve I was holding onto tore and I saw Denahi fall into the river below. Denahi... I saw him emerge from the water and grab hold of the log and I sighed with relief. He was alright. I turned to see that it was Kenai who caught me and he helped me back up to safety. Kenai embraced me and said, "I thought I almost lost you, Tehya."

        I embraced him as well and said, "It's okay, Kenai. I'm right here." And physically, I was there, but mentally I was not. Once again, I was torn between two worlds.
