The Misadventures of Emerald

I JUST GOT KIDNAPPED WHILE CAMPING!

Apparently it's not just my house that does these weird things, it's basically wherever I am.

So I was camping with my dad and Ruby. My mom decided to stay home for some reason. I think she doesn't like camping as much as we do. Anyway, we were camping and just about to roast some marshmallows, but at that moment, I felt something extremely soft and comfy on my shoulders. Before I even got the chance to turn around see what it is, I was pulled backwards, away from where we were camping. I ended up in some strange dark area with a little bit of light from above. It turned out to be a possessed bear that pulled me. "Grr, GRR GEE, grr" That was only noises it was making. Using sign language, the bear instructed me to continue directly away from our camping site. "What the heck, bear!?" I said. "Why do I have to go over there? I'm going back to camping." As I was heading back to where my family was, the bear pulled me back again. "*sigh* fine. What do you want?" The bear then, again, pointed me away from the site and also held up a photo of a golden herb. I assume it means that I have to go in there, get the golden herb, and bring it back to the bear. I had no idea why it wanted me to this, or how it expects me to do this or anything. Oh, and the bear also said if I fail, then I was going to be stranded there. It wouldn't really be a surprise if my parents haven't noticed, because I'm the only one suffering through these things.

I went through with the challenge because I really didn't have a choice, but as soon as I did, I just thought, "What does that darn bear even need a golden herb for anyway?" And for some reason, I thought that I was going to find out. My journey didn't really take all THAT long. Just a few mountains here and there and a little lack of food. Nothing that terrible. When I finally made it to the top of my last mountain, there was the golden herb tucked in a nest. Again, I didn't really know what the bear needed it for or why it needed it in the first place. Who cares... for now that is? I grabbed the herb immediately followed by prehistoric birds threatening to attack me. They dropped down and tried to pick me up. I wonder what would happen if they DID pick me up. Would they use me for food? I don't want to know. They ALMOST picked me up, that's for sure. TWICE actually! Once straight after getting the herb, and the other as I was exiting the nest. What happened next was that it was midnight and I starting to grow tired. I even passed out on my way back to the bear. I suddenly wish I have gotten more sleep earlier, because I woke up without the herb. It wasn't in the nest again either so I didn't know what to do. I went back to the bear and told it about it. Dang, it was furious! "What do you even need that herb for anyway?"

"Garr." It said.

"What?"

"Grr grr GAA GOO garn!"

It started attacking me, but I easily avoided it by heading back to our camping site. That was kind of pathetic, the bear barely put up a fight. It was just kind of... dashing towards me. I'm just glad to leave our camp site and go home where I can lay in bed and heal my headache. I'm just writing this to pass the healing time and I think my headache has already gone away.
