Treasure of Ali Baba and the Sixty Eight Thieves

Chapter 22 : Run

The cave...

Friends started following Brook. They were trying to move without getting caught. But suddenly those two skeletons reappeared in front of them.

"Catch them," the skeletons shouted.

They started running along with Brook. After sometime, they realized that the skeletons chasing them have increased from two to thirty.

"Its actually weird looking at skeletons chasing us," Rohan said.

"Its more scary than weird," Vikram said.

"Wait, why don't we fight them," Ujaas said. "With two warriors, Vikram and Malika on our side. Maybe we can beat them. After all they are just some bunch of dead people."

"Alright, now that will be fun," Rohan said. "Who could have thought we will beat some skeletons."

They stopped, were ready to put a fight with skeletons.

"Guys, ready?" Vikram asked.

Vikram could hear everyone say yes except Malika.

"Malika?" Vikram said.

When they turned around they saw Malika still running away.

"What are you doing?" Vikram asked her.

"I am strong but I can't fight skeletons," Malika said. "They are scary and I am scared of ghosts."

"What do we do now?" Rohan asked.

"Run," Akash shouted and they again started running. After sometime, they saw the path splitting into two.

"Left or right?" Akash asked while running.

"Right," Everyone said.

Akash went right but everyone went left.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" Akash shouted.

"Oh, we are confused between left and right," everyone said.

"Don't worry, I am with you," Brook said to Akash.

Friends somehow split and now, Ujaas, Rohan, Vikram and Malika were together, and Akash and Brook were together. They lost the skeletons chasing them. Now they started walking quietly.

Akash and Brook were walking together.

"Watch your steps, there are some pits in this part of cave," Brook said.

But it was impossible for Akash to avoid them and he fell into a pit. He got a little hurt and the pit being a little deep, he was unable to get out of that on his own.

"Are you Alright?" Brook asked.

"Yes, I think so," Akash said.

"Here, take my hand," Brook said and threw his hand in the pit.

"What are you doing?" Akash shouted and threw his hand back to him.

"Oh sorry, yohohohoho," Brook laughed.

The other friends on the other side of the wall could hear them because the wall was thin.

"I think something happened to Akash," Malika said looking concerned.

"Brook is with him, he should be fine," Ujaas said.

On the other side, Brook tried giving his hand to Akash but it didn't reached. So he took his leg and grabbed it in his hand and tried reaching it to Akash.

"Ahh, it hurts," Akash said.

"It will be fine," Brook said.

"Deeper, deeper," Akash said.
