We went to the front garden . And Ava asked " Now what we have to do "
"Nothing , There is a challenge for you both " replied Emily with a brief smile .
"Which challenge " I asked Emily holding Ava's hand firmly .
"There is a big tree in the mid of jungle . You both know about it . It is famous for its fruit . You both have to go and pluck a fruit . We will also participate in this challenge . Both of us will go through different routes and who will pluck the fruit first will win and she will be the ruler of us for next three days " replied Emily with a pause .
" Here is your torch " Bella replied giving us the torch . She continued " There will be two teams , One team will be of me and Emily and the other will be of Ava and Allice or do you want vice-versa?"
"We both looked at each other and asked " But why we need to do this "
"It is a game for tonight , are you afraid "
Ava replied with a deep breath " No we are not . We accept your challenge . Ok so here is your back pack . "
And they went off to wear jacket .
I asked Ava to look what is inside the bag .
She looked inside and said " There is a torch , some snacks and a water bottle "
"Are you really ready for it ?" I asked
"Yes , we have no other way "
They both came and we started our journey.
"First of all we all will move together till that mango tree and then we will divide " Emily said .
We agreed and walked till the Mango tree .
"So here we are , there are two paths following to the big tree .Move through any one but remember both are equal in distance and no cheating is allowed . The fruit of that big tree is very famous and sweet .We all will taste it . So that team which reaches first back to Ava's cottage is the winner ." Said Bella with a deep breath .
I replied "Ava let's take the right one path "
"It's completely your choice " Replied Bella .
And we decided to move through that right one path .
We all started our journey.
Me and Ava turned the torch on . It was a quiet long way and there was too much peace in the forest . We both were afraid because the light of torch was going at small distance.
" Let's talk something " said Ava .
"Ok I cannot afford this peace " I replied .
And we started talking about our school that suddenly we see something cracking in our foot .
We thought it to be the fallen leaves but the voice was increasing as we move further and further.
At last Ava said" I am tired hearing this voice . Lets see what is it of?"
We put some torch light and what we see pool of blood on the yellow leaves .
We both stood firm.
"This...…. this blood is wet , and have footprints of our shoes ." Ava said .
"Yes ! It...…it means that an injured person has passed from here .?"I replied .
"No , look at this small tree it has blood all over it ." Ava replied .
"Oh ! please stop it Ava . We are not inspecting someone's murder case " I replied and continued " Let's get out of here all of a sudden otherwise we will lose the challenge "
"Ok let's go " Ava replied .
And we continued our journey . We were moving through the Mango trees ,that Ava said " Allice mango trees are there ."
"Yes but we need to go to the big mango tree ." I replied .
" But all mangoes are same and have same taste ."
"No Ava we will not cheat "
"Ok let's go "
We started our journey again ..
" We will use a shortcut on our way back " said Ava
"Which shortcut?" I asked
" The shortcut from your house "
"Oh ok "
We stooped there for a while and drank some water and continued our journey again .
