Chapter 6
Gold, diamonds, emeralds, and other minerals I can't name, sat on the cave floor. "That's a lot of treasure," Grace said. "Might be millions of pounds," I added. I limped over to a throne and sat down. "There's the ticket," I said as I buried myself deep into the throne. "Spread out team," Max said. "Wait!" Grace said. We all looked at her. Her legs where spread out, her arms pointing toward both, Max and Jay. "That's not what I meant by spread out," Max added. "I forgot to tell you," Grace went on, annoying Max comment, "The person I talked to, said, 'There's a cursed chest down there, don't open it' so don't open any chest!" We nodded and I got up. I went to the back of the cave where I saw the group, hovering over a chest. It was made of full gold, and diamonds, were scattered all over it. "Just a peek," Max said. "No! You heard Grace," I butted into the conversation, "Oh who am I kidding! Open it!" Jay and Max opened the chest, and a puff a green smoke rose from it. A green liquid spilled out of the chest. "What is that?!" Grace asked. "I don't know, and I don't wanna find out!" I yelled, "Run!" We sprinted out of the cave. I tripped over my own feet, and yelled, "Help!" The crew ran back, and helped me run. "The wall!" Jay yelled. We left the grappling hook up on top, and we climbed up. The green liquid, bashed through the rock wall, as I yelled, "Run, faster, leave me!" "Never!" Max added. We ran faster and got to the ladder. In the midst of the madness, I heard Jonah say, "On you, Alice, run!" in the background. I went up first, and held on harder than ever. I climbed up, not daring to find the time to look down at the crew. I heard a scream, and hoped it wasn't one of my crew members. We got out of the crew, and I can speak for everyone when I say, my heart was pounding, our breathing, hard. Once we all got out, the liquid let out a sound, that seemed like, "Don't come back..." "Is everyone O.K.?" I asked. "Yeah," they all said. We packed up, and went out side. We all stared at the sky, and clouds. They weren't normal. The clouds were dark green, and the sky was light green, the same as the green liquid. A huge ghost like cloud hovered over the rest. I stared at the sky in amazement, and said, "I have a feeling we shouldn't have opened that chest."
