Stuck With the Devil Death trap!

Continuation of last episode...

both of them reaches the small land..where the tree is standing...

Ajax Ravencrest

so? *as he look at the red flowers of the tree*

Ajax Ravencrest

I'll cut that down for you...

Ajax Ravencrest

*as he moves forward his hand hoping for the knife*

Leah windward

No need I'll do it...

Leah windward

*as she walks closer to the tree*

Ajax Ravencrest

are you planning to climb the tree?

Leah windward

Yeah..

Ajax Ravencrest

But it's too high for you...let me do it..

Leah windward

I can't let you do it...*as she keeps the knife back in her small bag, tied at her waist*

Leah windward

*her hands grabbing the tree tightly to climb it*

Ajax Ravencrest

Be careful...

Ajax Ravencrest

*as he stands their, watching her climb with concerned eyes*

Leah windward

*grabbing the tree tightly , while she slowly climbs it*

Leah windward

*in mind* this tree is so slimy...weird...

Leah windward

*finally reaches the little canopy of the tree, as she slowly stands on nearest branch*

Ajax Ravencrest

Are you doing fine?

Ajax Ravencrest

*as he look up at her*

Leah windward

I think I almost made it!

Leah windward

*as she takes out the knife from her bag, raising it towards the upper tree branch at her head, trying to cut it*

Leah windward

Com'on! cut it knife!

Ajax Ravencrest

You are doing it wrong Leah! it's not a cake it's a damn tree!

Leah windward

💢 what am I supposed to do then?

Ajax Ravencrest

Maybe you should have brought a axe with you..

Leah windward

💢 well I don't have it on me!

Ajax Ravencrest

Use the knife as axe then! Strike the knife at the branch with force!

Leah windward

... alright! Like this ?!

Leah windward

*as she strikes the branch with the knife*

Ajax Ravencrest

Harder Leah! That's not enough!

Leah windward

I am trying! *as she strikes the branch again and again*

Ajax Ravencrest

it's going to take whole day with that strength..

Ajax Ravencrest

*as he folds his arms around his chest, looking up at her with disappointment*

Leah windward

💢 I- *suddenly the knife slips off from her hand due to sweat in her palms, falling down the ground*

Ajax Ravencrest

....I swear...you are an idiot...

Leah windward

💢

Leah windward

I am going to come down to grab it-

But suddenly the branch she was standing on...cracks at its edge... making her lose her balance..

Leah windward

*screams*

Ajax Ravencrest

be careful!!

Leah windward

I am trying-

This time the branch totally breaks free from the tree, making her fall..

she closes her eyes from fear , expecting to fall on ground... fracturing her bones...

But rather...she feels Ajax's warm arms grabbing her body...but not strong enough to cut out the impact of force ....as they both fall on the ground...with Leah on top of him...

Ajax Ravencrest

Argh!!

Ajax Ravencrest

f*ck! That hurts!

Ajax Ravencrest

*as he closes his eyes enduring the back pain *

Leah windward

*quickly gets away from him , as she sits next to him, helping him sit up*

Leah windward

Are you ok?! Are you hurt?!

Ajax Ravencrest

I'll obviously will be hurt from that idiot..

Leah windward

I am sorry Ajax..I didn't mean to..

Leah windward

*her eyes turn guilty filled with moist*

Ajax Ravencrest

......ugh..it's not your fault! and It's not that bad either

Ajax Ravencrest

it's not like my back is broken..

Ajax Ravencrest

*as he tries to stands up with the help of his hands, but Leah quickly helps him to get up*

Ajax Ravencrest

it's abit hurt.. that's all..

Ajax Ravencrest

Don't worry about it...

Ajax Ravencrest

I can still walk..

Leah windward

But...It happened because of me..

Leah windward

*as she feels guilty*

Ajax Ravencrest

idiot...it's not your fault..the tree was weak...

Ajax Ravencrest

Whatever it is... atleast you got what you wanted...

Ajax Ravencrest

*as he look at the broken fallen branch on the ground*

Ajax Ravencrest

Just grab whatever you need... let's get out of this weird place...

Leah windward

y-yeah..

Leah windward

*as she quickly grabs her fallen knife, using it to cut small part of the big branch*

Leah windward

*keeps the small branch in her bag, as she gets ready to leave*

Leah windward

Let's go..

Leah windward

*as she moves at his side... letting him throw his arm around her shoulders for support to walk*

As they both get over the floating stones together.. slowly making their way to other side...

Almost to reach on the land otherside.... standing on the second last stone to be crossed...

Ajax Ravencrest

I thought this place would be much worst..

Ajax Ravencrest

*as he smiles triumphantly*

Leah windward

We should first get out of her-

Suddenly their is light sound of splatter in the pond..

Leah windward

what was that?

Ajax Ravencrest

what?

Leah windward

We should hurry up!

Ajax Ravencrest

*His eyes widen when he suddenly notices something like slimy dark thick rope trying to grab Leah's foot*

Ajax Ravencrest

Leah!! Move!!

Ajax Ravencrest

* he pushes her away from it, making her fall on the safe ground otherside*

Ajax Ravencrest

*but the rope grabs his foot instead, pulling him with it, inside the water, in the pond*

Leah windward

*fallen on ground as her eyes widen with fear followed by her scream*

Leah windward

Ajax!!!
