-----------------------------
When I stepped through the portal for the fourth time that day, I felt both happy and relieved that it soon would be over.
I stepped out from the portal and sighed in relief. I was relieved until I saw the portals position. I screamed as I started falling and struck something soft, yet hard. I tried to breath but all that came into my mouth wasn't air nor water. It was sand. A pair of strong arms found my hands and I was pulled upwards. I gasped and coughed as I was brought to the surface. Sounds of singing birds filled my ears and I opened my eyes as I was spitting sand. We were In a jungle. I looked down and noticed that we were stuck in pond of sand or some sort. Trees was standing tightly against each other around the round pond, prevent us from seeing what was on the other side.
"What the heck is this?" Lyon exclaimed as he tried to move.
"Don't!" I exclaimed. "Stand still. This is quicksand."
Quicksand is a pond of sand which will bring you further down the more you move.
Sting sank down further.
"Great! Any ideas?" Sting groaned.
"Freeze it?" Lyon suggested.
"It will freeze us too." I sighed.
I bit my bottom lip.
I have read about quicksand and such things but not how you get out from one.
Lyon scratched his head and I could almost hear their brains work.
I sighed.
Boys.
"Try to find something to grab on to." I told them and they nodded.
"Good idea." Sting told me and his eyes started to search for something to help them get out from there.
I could feel myself being dragged down further and sighed.
This is so not what I needed right now.
"Over there!"
I flinched and turned to sting that pointed upwards.
I brought my eyes upwards.
A tree branch.
I smiled and faced them.
"We have to work together. Who can hold their breaths for the longest time?"
Sting raised his hand and Lyon shook his head.
"Okay, Lyon get up on Sting's shoulders. I'm going to use you guys as a ladder and get up to reach that branch. I will then get it down so that we can get out from this mess, okay?"
Lyon shrugged.
"Sure."
Sting sighed.
"This is going to be heavy."he said and Lyon gave him a dirty look. I sighed.
Boys.
"Okay, be careful when you walk to each other. Every step you take will only bring you further down."
Lyon nodded and took slow steps to Sting. Lyon was buried to his waist when he stopped next to Sting.
I slowly made my way towards them and Lyon, with the help of sting, started to get up to his shoulders.
When they succeed, with lots of groans and complains, I finally started to climb them both. I tried my best to not hurt them,me hitch was a total failure.
"Ey! Watch were ya stepping!" Sting complained and Lyon muttered.
"Sorry." I apologized and gave them a half smile.
I sat down on Lyon's shoulder and started to reach for the branch.
"Hurry!" I heard sting say and I tried to reach further.
But the more I reached, the further away I got from it. I knew that Sting was sinking and it would be only a matter of minutes before he would be buried. I bit my lip and sweat was running between my eyes.
I looked down and to my fear, sting was buried to his throat. Sting was breathing heavily from the impact of the sand and tried his best to hold on.
I screamed out in frustration and my arms was starting to ache from the injuries the whip gave me earlier. The whip wasn't going to help so much and it would be only a matter of seconds before we would be buried beneath layers of heavy sand.
I got up my feet in Lyon's shoulder and started to stand up, we started to sink faster.
It was now or never.
I jumped and reach out for the branch.
I got a hold on it and steadied myself. I started to swing back and forth, trying to get the branch down.
I got and idea, I got up on the branch and started to walk along it. The branch snapped and fell. I jumped and landed safely on the grass.
The branch hit the sand and Lyon jumped down as quickly as he could from Sting's arms and grabbed it. He helped Sting on top of it and I reached for my whip.
Right now it didn't matter if it would hurt me, cause if I wouldn't take the chance, then they would surely die.
I drew it and it wrapped itself onto the branch and I pulled it with all my might backwards.
The branch flew towards me and stopped dead as it hit a rock. Sting and Lyon flew forward with a scream in surprise and landed with a thud on the grass.
Sting was breathing heavily and a giggled rose through my throat and I started to laugh.
Sting and Lyon gave me a weird look.
"We'll that sure was interesting."
They laughed and we all laid there God knows how long, just laughing from the shock and event that just happened.
