Rachel shouted, “We have to find Dazz!! He could be bitten by an animal or something.”

Tanya said, “We all go through this bridge one by one as it is very weak and likely to break.  Ladies first.”

One by one all the girls reached the other side. Some scared boys also went before Natalie and Courtney who were left with Luthor and Tanya. Luthor made Tanya go next. As soon as she got cleared Courtney followed. Then Natalie started moving. Courtney shouted, “There are some weak planks. Be careful on which plank you step on.”

As soon as Courtney said this, Natalie got conscious and scared. Her feet started shaking. Luthor could see that the bridge was not  able to support the shaking. Natalie’s left leg got stuck in a plank which made her more hysterical. Luthor shouted, “Calm down! I’m coming for you. Just stop moving.”

Rescue

Fortunately Natalie decided to obey Luthor and stopped moving. Luthor carefully stepped onto the bridge. He knew he did not have much time but he had to move slowly. He slowly moved towards Natalie. When he reached Natalie, he said, “I’m gonna pull you out. Just don’t move.”

Gently, he tried to pull her left leg out but it was stuck firmly. He said, “This will pain a little.” He  turned her leg a little and like a bottle cork her leg came out. He said, “Now slowly move towards them I’ll stand here till then.” She started moving. The side from which they came was coming apart due to the weight.

The left attachment was already off. Luthor had to run now. He tried but the right attachment fell off and the bridge went down. Natalie cried, “No!!!! He died because of me. He could have left me to die. I’m of no use.”

They saw a pair of hands coming up from the hill side. It was Luthor and he was alive and kicking. He had a firm grip to the bridge and climbed up when the bridge settled. When he reached topside, Natalie ran towards him and hugged him. Everyone could see the happiness and satisfaction in Luthor’s eyes.

They still had to find Dazz so they split up…

Stay tuned for more crisp…
