The Auroran Adventure

Chapter 4 - Cliff Hanger

Without hesitation or thinking, Lucas quickly climbed over the edge or the cliff, we all stared at him like he was delusional. However, he on the other hand was smiling from ear to ear. 

"Guys, I found a cave," he whisper-yelled so that only we could hear. We carefully scrambled over the side of the cliff. We all tried to get in but it was too small for all of us to fit in. I was a cliff hanger, literally. We all stopped breathing for at least two minutes. We could hear their voices loud and clear.

"I swear they were here Gus" Said a light feminine voice. 

"Well, there not so let's stop wasting time and get a move on" Exclaimed the deep masculine voice.  

Few that was a close one, we all scrambled out and stretched even though we had only been down there for a few minutes, it felt like days. Everyone was asking me how I was able to hang on like that. I guess doing 7 years of gymnastics paid of. If you haven't already guessed, Delilah and I are like the power twins. I dance and she sings. 

However, I couldn't sing to save my life and and Delilah couldn't dance to save her life. We decided it wasn't safe here and decided to keep moving. Lucas took a map out of his back pack. There was one pretty close by but we had to pass a waterfall. I loved heights and all types of thriller rides. Delilah however, was terrified of heights. I hope we don't have to go past it because if we did, she would have a panic attack. Looked like Rosie was terrified of heights too, because she had the sight of plain terror on her face. 

We started to walk towards the waterfall, believe me it wasn't close. Even though I trained for like 20 hours a week my legs were throbbing. If mine were like this I couldn't even imagine how Delilah felt. Before we could walk more, Rosie suddenly fell to the ground. We all decided to take a break. By the way Lucas was looking at Rosie, you could see the glares of pure love. He was worried sick. 

Rosie suddenly got up and kept walking, she said that we could take a break at the waterfall, but we had to get there first. After 3 more kilometres of walking we reached a bridge with a 400 meter drop underneath. The bridge was old, rickety and had a weird smell to it. It smelt like burnt marshmallows.

We all agreed that we should go lightest to heaviest. Since, I was a Dancer I had to go on a strict diet. That made me the lightest. I carefully took a step onto the wobbly bridge, it was like I was at adventure camp except I had no safety harness. The wood kept creaking, I don't know if this bridge is going to last long enough for everyone to walk on it.
