The Danger Ahead…

The Danger Ahead

She had been warned, but now it was too late. Her stubbornness nearly got her into serious trouble. Walking through the forest, she got lost. It was nearly half-dark when she thought that this wasn’t a great idea. “I should have listened to our Adviser not to roam around by myself” she whispered. As she turned around and decided to turn back, a big dark shadow stood up on front of her. The shadow seemed to glare at her for some reason which made her so terrified to move. Her blood in her veins seemed to stop and her face went pale as if she had seen a ghost.

A reflection of light bounced at her watch, caught from the shade of light from what is left from the sun to the dark shadow which stood before her. When she had seen a part of the dark shadow, she then realized that it was a grizzly bear staring at her. Before she could move, her bones froze as if she was paralyzed.

She didn’t know what to do, though petrify, she tried not to move or make a sound. Suddenly, commotions from her team were heard nearby which distracted the bear and fled away. She was lucky of not being hurt by this ferocious animal. Still shaking and shivering, the team tried to pacify and comfort her. In the camp they lighted a bonfire. Everybody was cautious and alert fearing of the possible attack of the bear so they decided not to sleep and wait until morning.

As the morning breaks with the sunlight penetrating through the tall trees illuminating the forest, they immediately packed their things and wait until their bus arrived near the road. The bus finally arrived and they were drove home safely.

Everyone shared their thoughts and experience with their friends. And was one of an unforgettable memory of their life in camp.
