章 19: EYE OF THE TIGER

We didn't die.

I guess I'm just overdramatic but Easton and I did not become alligator food. We crossed the bridge successfully and now we're back to our original mission-finding that damned box.

"I told you we'd make it,'' he says smugly.

"I told you we'd make it,'' I mimick. "I'm never crossing that contraption ever again."

"You're just a scaredy-cat. It's not that bad."

"Whatever you...what's that?"

In between shrubs, I could see a wooden gold and brown box. I finally found it! I leave Easton's side and run forward towards the direction of the box, "Easton, hurry up,'' I yell.

As I ran, I see a figure zoom past me and grab hold of my treasure!

Now it's on.

"Hey hey hey,'' I stomp towards whoever it is that's holding my property. "I caught sight of that box first so I will really appreciate it if you let it go, like right now before I shove you..."

"You never stop with the threats do you, Princess?"
