Dora the Explorer

~Fourteen~

I walked a few feet from Tico, I looked back at him, and kept walking. I shouted Benny's name a couple times, but I didn't hear anything from him. I just heard fire in the distance. Each step I took made sounds of dead leaves shriveling up. I lost all I had with me. After a while I took a rest and drank water from a nearby stream. I started to think I should just keep going to Swiper but I couldn't stop him alone. I heard some gunshots by me and I got up and ran to them as fast as I could. Benny was on the ground and one soldier pointed his gun to his head. I pulled out my pistol, pointed it, and... Benny got up and hugged me. He had gotten shot I. The arm but it wasn't a big injury. "Where's Tico?" He said. I gave him a despondent look. Then a tear ran down the right side of my face. "No." He said with a shaky voice. "Let's go." I said. After that we didn't talk that much. About an hour passed and I heard marching. There was less and less trees around us. Benny and I both climbed up a tree. I couldn't believe my eyes. Rows of Swiper's soldiers everywhere. They were far and they looked like ants. There were also towers with cannons on each one. Six towers in their own spots given the ability to cover more than enough ground. In the middle of everything a massive structure filled that space. It looked like a prison. A huge Jet and helicopter on the top, and ten huge tanks like the one I encountered when Tico died. Then I looked through my telescope, looked at the door, and I saw Swiper the Fox.
