The Adventurers Dread

Chapter 1: We gotta go! What are you doing?!

I ran down the stairs, with my hands gripped around my satchel. The moment i reached the door, i heard rapid knocking, growing louder by the minute. His head flung backward as i opened the door. Jeremiah stumbled inside and collapsed onto the floor. I kicked at him and yelled, "WE GOTTA GO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I get a low mumble in return. I kick some more until he grabs my foot and trips me. I fall face first into the position he is in. I flip over and get more comfortable because i know we will be down here for a while. "Was it that hard to sleep last night?" As if he were trying to nod in agreement, he bangs his head three times on the floor. I stand up and flip the lever opening my fridge. I pull out four extra glass bottles, and throw one at Jeremiah. "Lets go." I kick him on the side of his body, and open my door. I heard one more groan as we headed out to the hit desert. He pops off the top of the water bottle, and takes a long drink. "Someone's thirsty." "Yeah, no kidding!" "And cranky." I mumbled. We kept walking until we reached the first shady spot for twelve miles. I set down my satchel and collapsed onto the ground. The time on my watch says 12:36pm and we left at 12:20pm. "Just a couple more hours. And we will be there, just a few...more...hours." I say slowly growing drowsy. "Hey, don't pass out just yet. We can do that once we get to the temple, just not now, ok?" "Yeah, ok." I sat up on the tree that was blocking us from the hot, blocky sun. He lifted me up off my butt, and grabbed my elbow. I looked up at him. His eyes were very anxious. He released my elbow, and my knees quivered. Who knew the heat could do this to you? "Im ok." I breathed. The corners of his mouth lifted up like he was going to burst out laughing as we walked. I just rolled my eyes and took a sip of my water. As the day fell it grew colder. I shivered a small bit and reached for my bag. I took out a small coat that i packed cuz i knew this was going to happen. I pull out the extra one for Jeremiah and hand it to him. He wraps the jacket around him and continues forward. "Do you ever stop looking at whats in front of you?" I asked. He stopped and grabbed my hand. His green eyes bored into my skull. "No. Not when something big is happening." I nod my head and we kept walking. I grabbed his arm, as my eyelids grew heavy. "Hey i think we should rest for a bit." He looks at me and nods his head. We lay down on the warm sand, and i shut my eyes. I can sense his watching me. But i ignore it and fall asleep slowly.

I wake up, and see the sun blinding me. I block my face with my hand. I sit up and see Jerry with a bottle of water in his hand. "Hey." "Can I help you?" "Um ok, that was rude! I stood up and grabbed my bag. "Still no sleep?" He grunted as an answer. "I'll take that as a no! Get up we're leaving." He stood up and started walking, and I quickly followed. We walked in silence as we approached a large hill. I slapped his arm a few times. "Hey lemme go up first." He nodded his head and I slowly walked up the hill. As I reached the top, I could see more and more of the place in front of me. Jerry, walked up beside me. I almost fainted.
