Chapter 5

    Aspyn immediately began shooting arrows. Terrence just stood there frozen with fear.

    "Well." Aspyn said, "Help me out here!"Terrence snapped out of it and rushed in with his sword. Five minutes later, the hippogriff had six arrows in its neck and four cut marks.

    "This thing is not easy to kill." said Terrence.

    "Any ideas?" asked Aspyn.

    "RUN!" yelled Terrence. Terrence noticed Aspyn running farther than him. Wow. She's fast. He thought.

    "We can't run forever!" said Aspyn, "but I guess we can hide there." Aspyn was heading towards a tree and was already half way up when Terrence caught up.

    "Well, are you coming?" Aspyn asked.

    "Umm… I can't climb trees." said Terrence. It was true. He never really tried before.

    "You… WHAT!?" Aspyn yelled. Her cheeriness was beginning to wear off. She groaned and climbed down the tree. They looked around for another hiding spot.

    "Look. There's a cave on that mountain." said Aspyn. She ran over and began climbing. When Terrence didn't follow her she stopped.

    “You can climb rocks, right?" she asked.

    "Yeah, it's just that… I'm afraid of heights." Terrence replied.

    "Seriously!?" Aspyn exclaimed. I should have worked alone. She thought. They began looking for more options.

    "That looks like an underground passage." said Aspyn. And please tell me he's not afraid of the dark. When Terrence just stared at the hole in the ground, Aspyn slapped her forehead and closed her eyes. When she opened them, Terrence was already in the hole peering out.

    "Are you coming?" he asked. What's wrong with her? Then, Aspyn smiled and jumped into the dark tunnels.
