Dark Waters

I felt better after Vara talked to me. I kept glancing back now and then to see if Pique was less mad. But she was glaring at me still...When would she get it. I always replied with a small snarl.

*sigh* I wonder when all of this would finally be over...That Blaziken had been a real pain to deal with.

"We must hurry and get to Icefall Cave. There might be others tracking us, and I don't think we can withstand another battle like that. I know of a shortcut, but we have to move fast because it is only open until dawn. Then it will disappear until tomorrow. Full Moon Bridge." Emmett said and hurried on. Odd name....

"Emmett. Isnt this the bridge that disappears with the moon?" Vara asked. He looked back at her and nodded. "Are you crazy?! Lots of gijinkas have disappeared from this bridge never to be seen again! How can you expect us to cross it?!" Pique yelled at him. Heh I welcome a challenge...

"It is the only way. If we want to reach the cave safely we must go now. Before the moon is gone!" He started across. I started to fallow him.

"Ep! You can see right through it!" Nina jumped back staring down at it. "Come on don't be a baby.." I muttered under my breath...I knew I should be nicer specially what happened tonight....

"We have to go now! The moon is going to disappear, and the bridge will go with it!" Emmett looked up at the sky. "RUN EVERYONE!" Everyone started to make a dash to the end.

I was almost there when I tripped on my skirt. I growled in frustration I looked up to see Vara had stopped. "No Vara! Go on and leave me here! I'll be fine!" I tried to get up but fell back down as the bridge started to shake.

"I'm not going to leave you hear! So come on!" She pulled me up and we started running again. Almost there! Then the bridge shook one last time and it disappeared.

We fell into the heavy current and I thought I would just be another one of those gijinkas that "disapeared". I clawed trying to resurface but I had never been the best swimmer.

At least Vara would be ok...She was part water type so she could get out easily. I stoped trying ready to welcome death...I could not hold my breath any longer and water floded my lungs.

I flet someone grab me and pull me to shore. I coughed up water and looked over to see Vara looking worried at me. "Poochy are you ok?" I nodded.

After a few minuets of rest I looked up my eyes a yellow to help me see. How far did we fall? I could barely make out any thing.

I gave up after a bit turning back to Vara. "Why did you help me?" I looked at her. "Huh? What do you mean?" "I mean I told you to leave me when the bridge was collapsing..." I looked down at the ground. "I couldn't ju-" "You could have...Then you would be up there with the rest counting me as dead and move on with your life."

Vara looked shocked and we sat in silence.

Continue?
Poochy
