Chapter 7:Torrent Trials

'Pssst..Jessica..' Cassidy Whispered To Jessica.'Yeah..?' She Said,Narrowly Avoiding Tripping On A Rock.'Blake Seems...A Bit Suspicious...Don't Cha Think?' Cassidy Said,Eyeing The Person In Question,Who Was Leading The Pack Of Kids.'Yeah...' Jessica Said. Blake Did That Weird Shaking Thing,Right Before Stopping Right In Front Of The River.'Okay..' Blake Said.Cassidy Noticed That His Voice Was A Tiny Bit Higher Than It Had Been After He Had Shaken. Something Was Up With This Guy. Something Only Cassidy Seemed To Notice.'The Torrent Trial Is To Dive Into River Sugarsand And Find A Blue Coral Plant,Like This One.' He Said,Producing One From His Pocket.'Once You've Acquired One.Bring It Back To Me.' Blake Said,Pacing Around The Riverbank. 'Now,You Will Only Make The Team If You Retrieve One Quickly Enough AND Definitely Bring One Back,Now Form An Orderly Queue And Wait Your Turn...'

Meanwhile,Somewhere On A Cliffside In The Forest,Sammy Was Still Carrying Pipsqueak,Whose Arm Had Now Stained The Back Of Her Shirt.'Y,know,That Guy's Directions Were A Bit Vague..We Haven't Got Anywhere In At Least An Hour!'Pipsqueak Said,Looking Across The Forest.'Yeah...'Sammy Replied,Slightly Out Of Breath.'Hopefully It's Nearby And He Didn't Try To Send Us Somewhere Else On Purpose Right? As If!' She Said,Brushing Off Her Extremely Good Point. 'Yeah..As If...' Pipsqueak Agreed,But He Didn't Sound Certain.

Hey What's That Blue Th- I Should Probably Stop Rambling To Myself...Im Gonna Drown Otherwise.  She Grabbed The Blue Coral Plant And Tugged It Out Of The Sandy Riverbed.She Surfaced,Wet And Spluttering,But She Had Done It. 'Wowzers! Blake Said! Looks Like You're On The Team.' 'B-But Blake...' Perry Said 'She Was Down There For Minutes! How Could She Possibly Be On The Te-' 'Ahem,Girl..' 'My Name Is Pe-' 'GIRL! What Part Of You're On The Team Do You Not Understand?!?! Gosh!' Everyone Was Stunned Into Silence Once Again. 'I Mean Er..' Blake Tugged At His Collar.  'N-Next?' 'Hey...' Said Somebody Who Looked Remarkably Similar To Pipsqueak Except Taller. 'Where's Danny And That Girl?' 'Hmm,Perhaps They Got...Lost?' Blake Said,With An Uncaring Expression On His Face,Right...Cassidy Thought. There Is Definitely Something Up With This Guy..Then She Realised,Blake's Similar To Indigo Eyes Had Transformed To A Glittering Light Blue When He Shook Again. Yep...Definitely.. She Thought.
