Chereads / A Journey To The Darkness / Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

We walked more than three hours continuously. Lisa was breathing hardly and Max and I too. Because of the tiredness we felt hungry. We were unable to have lunch too as the mysterious animal. Then I remembered that we have some apples left. We ate apples while walking. We were eating apples for two days now. As we could not find anything else to eat so there was no way to have a meal without apples. In my heart I was thinking whether the apples were poisoned by Morgan, the cruel witch but I didn't talk about it with Max or even with Lisa. In a way we had a hard life for two days and I had no idea about how long we have to stay there. Though I don't like home that time I really wanted to go home. However I had to finish this curse of Morgan. I did not have any other choice though I did not like to go further.

We had reached the mountain of hope few more miles were left. We all had happiness although any of us did not show. Max wanted to rest for a while. Both I and Lisa agreed with him and sat down on the ground. We had no more apples left to eat. So we spent some time talking. Suddenly Lisa screamed complaining an ant bit her leg. Max checked her leg to see what had happened. But the scar was quiet different. It was a spider which had shining legs. We were reading the book one by one. One part for each. In my part I read about the dangerous magical animals in the forest. And I was sure that I saw that spider in the book. The spider was a poisonous one. I told about this to Max making sure Lisa cannot hear me. Max or I did not have any idea about what to do. Suddenly Max started turning the pages of the book and stopped after turning the page about animals. There he found the spider which had bitten Lisa. There was a picture of the spider too. There was a column specifying the cures if someone are bitten by the spider. But the only way to make that person survive was to take the patient to the graveyard. And also there was a map which showed the way to go to the only graveyard of the mysterious world. We were almost there. "We are here!" said Max. I stood up and looked around, asking Max to look after Lisa as she was suffering from pain. Then I saw the entrance of the graveyard. A big steel arch holding the name "GRAVEYARD". It looked scary and I did not want to go there but we must go there. I showed the graveyard to Max and he asked me to follow him after taking Lisa to his arms. I did as he asked me to do.
