MY DESTINY

Chapter 26

Vianca's POV

What Ethan had done with me the previous night had completely shook me. Finally it was morning and the storm had stopped we are supposed to wait here for some more time until the rescue team arrives. I sighed as I was strolling in the porch outside the cabin. I was standing near a tree thinking about Ethan's horrible actions last night when I suddenly heard Ethan shouting my name. He pushed me away and I got scared that he is trying to hurt me again but the next thing I saw left me in horror. I saw a big green snake hanging on the bark of the tree near which I was standing. I was about to pull away Ethan from that snake when it suddenly bit Ethan on his hand. Ethan caught the snake and threw it somewhere in the forest far away from us, quickly.

"Ethan!" I shrieked in horror when I comprehended what had happened.

I went near him and he was about to collapse. I sat there on the ground with his head on my lap, he collapsed. Shit! What the hell just happened?! Oh god! What if something happens to Ethan?! NO! I then recalled our camp instructor, Mr. Campbell's words who said there are a lot of poisonous insects here.

Ethan's life is in danger because he tried to save me from the snake but ended up hurting himself. No! I can't let anything happen to Ethan. No matter how bad he is on the outside but I know he has a soft side which I have seen sometimes. If anything happens to Ethan because of me I will never be able to forgive myself.

"ETHAN! ETHAN! ETHAN! ETHAN PLEASE WAKE UP!!! I SAID WAKE UPPP!! PLEASE ETHAN! WAKE UP! ETHAN PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES! ETHAN OPEN YOUR EYES! ETHAN!!!"
I shouted and cried as I was shaking and tapping his head constantly.

I started crying loudly when I saw two red dots on his hand, indicating the snake bite.

"SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US! HELP! PLEASE SAVE US SOMEBODY!" I kept on crying constantly, shouting and begging for help but there was no one in this wilderness who would listen to my cries and come to our aid.

I can't just sit here waiting for the rescue team to come and save Ethan, I need to do something. His life is at stake and that too because of me. I will not let anything happen to him. I saw that his forearm had started to turn blue, it means the venom has started spreading in his bloodstream. No, I need to stop the venom before it spreads in his entire body.

I remember once when I was younger I along with Mom and Dad went for hiking when some snake had bitten my mother on her leg and Dad had suked the venom off her leg and he spit it. But that venom was not very poisonous so nothing happened but I don't know if Dad's trick works here. But I don't have any other option. No matter what I have to save Ethan. I'll try and see if it works.

I then bend down and I slowly sucked on the red mark on his forearm. I sucked the venom and I immediately spit it down on the ground. I continued sucking and spitting the venom and I had also tied his forearm with a cloth, stopping the venom from spreading any further in his body. I continued it for more 15 to 20 minutes but I had accidentally swallowed some venom. But I dont think anything will happen to me. Slowly the blueness on his forearm turned back to normal it means I had eradicated the venom from his bloodstream. But I started feeling dizzy after a couple of minutes. I slowly saw Ethan opening his eyes. Thank god it worked.

"Vi-Vinaca! What's going on?" He said slowly as he was trying to get up.

"You are safe now Ethan. Don't worry the rescue team will be here soon." I said as I started feeling even more dizzy. Oh lord!

He got up and he was in a sitting position when my head started spinning like crazy. I then felt a liquid gush out of my mouth. The last thing I remember is collapsing in Ethan's arms.
