Darkness Falls

Lost Jungle

I woke up on a warm morning. Mosquitos zoomed around my face. I put my head under my blanket to think. Maybe I should stay? Help Layla? She is either dead,alive, or nothing. Slow down with my thoughts! Too overwhelming! Okay... Everything will be okay... AHG! I am going crazy over this stuff! I'm going to be quiet... I jumped out of my bed and grabbed a pancake to eat. I shoved it into my mouth. I want to see more of Layla. Gone? Not gone. No more of this! I chewed my breakfast while running out the door, Maria didn't wake up. Lucky me! I charged to the jungle biome. Jungles are awesome. For some reason this place has like four biomes in square forms, you can see all of them together clearly. Trees were grown to a height of a mansion. Chirps were heard. Lovely songs the birds were chirping... Next thing I knew it, I tripped and landed into a lake. Unlucky me I should say because guess who popped up like always! Maria. "Why'd you leave without me?" She said frowning at me. "Uh... I wanted to go look at trees! Without you..." I blurted out. Ogres barely ever wake up. You could hear their snores from the jungle biome. Except maybe even miles into the jungle. I was covered in... What was this?! "Girl... What have you got yourself into?" Maria said in a sassy voice. I couldn't say anything back. I felt like I was stuck inside something. I could feel air from the bottoms of my feet. Tried flying but couldn't get out. Wings were stuck into the liquid. Maria reached her arms out to get me out. The jungle floors were wet. She slipped into the liquid with me. "Now what?" I said. "Grab onto that branch?" Maria replied. I grabbed onto the branch besides us. Pulled and pulled. I pulled myself out. Maria, still sinking. I used my powers to grow the branch for her to grab it. It grew to her, grabbed her and pulled her out. I was covered in gray liquid, so was Maria. "Ewww!" Maria said, looking down at her brand new dress. I wiped my hands off in the other lake, which was actually water. I jumped in the clear lake waters with few fish swimming. Maria jumped in too. The other liquid was slowly coming off. The clear blue water was turning like the other liquid. Gray, Gross, and very hard to get out of! I moved my arms around in the water. Good thing that it was all water. Just the color. We couldn't see anything. Nothing. Besides the house. We just settled in and went to sleep on a tree instead of the ogres house  because of the long walk it took to get there.
