The Forest Adventure

"We're lost!!!" said Christy "I thought you said you knew this trail by heart!" It was a rainy afternoon and what a better place to be than lost in the forest behind Grandma's house. "I do, but this place seems different than the last time I hiked here.” said Joan. "That's because you were six, now you're twelve." "Well, our first priority is to get out of the rain before we look like we'd jumped in the lake." The two girls looked around. They found a hollow opening in the bottom of a tree that looked big enough for both of them. "Come on!" yelled Joan. Both of them ran into the hollow opening. "Are you sure this is safe?" asked Christy "It was the only thing I found." said Joan. Suddenly they heard a grumbling noise on the side of the tree. "Joan, said Christy "tell me that was your stomach." Joan looked out of the tree and saw a bear right next to it. It was so close that she could feel its fur on her nose. In fear Joan yelled, "Run!!" and the two of them ran out of the tree. It didn't take much time for the bear to realize what was going on, and with instinct he tore after them like lighting. Christy looked back and yelled to Joan "Run faster!" The two of them ran as fast as they could, Joan was the faster one. Suddenly she stopped short and Christ ran right into her. “What did you do that for!" she yelled. "Look!” said Joan. Christy looked down, if Joan had ran any farther than they would have fell off a cliff into the river down below. "Groooooowww!" The two of them turned around. There in front of them was the bear. His brown eyes stared at them in anger, his hair standing on end. Little by little he was walking toward them, making the two girls walk toward the edge of the cliff. "What will we do?" whispered Christy to Joan.

Will the two girls outsmart and escape from the bear or will they have to fall to the river below? Find out when I write the next part of The Forest Adventure.
