8 CHALLENGE

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 .
