lifeless troubles by sharon cruz (best books to read for young adults TXT) 📕

Before my eyes I saw another creature, a 12 foot tall spider! and below was Bert as the spider was feeding off of him as he tries to fight it off. Adrenaline kicked in and I ran and began to attack the big spider. “Get out jac!, don’t! Save yourself!!” Bert yelled but I didn’t listen. I tried to get it’s attention and it worked the spider looked at me with it’s hairy legs and 8 eyes. Scared, i stabbed the spider and stabbed again. “NOOOOO!” Bert yelled and in the corner of my eye I saw him crawl toward me. I backed up as the spider went forward. Soon I was towered and trapped. “Bert!” I began to yell. I then stumble and fell but tried to back away. Its fangs drooled with acid looking saliva as I bumped to a palm tree. Just as I closed my eyes ready for my death, I waited it for the spider to eat me alive and away... but when I opened my eyes again the spider just stopped and looked at me, that’s what I thought. Until I saw that instead of me it was staring at my stomach. At that moment, the spider looked at me and we had a moment and glared at one another as Bert yelled in the background. Obvious something interests the spider and the next thing you know it’s fangs went and grabbed me by my bra and scurried away.
“BERTTTTTT!” I screamed as it took me away deep into the forest. “JACLYN!!!” Bert screamed as well. “FIND MEEE!” I screamed back and that was the last thing I said as Bert disappeared in the distance... I hung by the spider’s fangs as it took me somewhere deep, deep in the darkness. But what you will never believe this...
That I went to whole different world, in other words where ALL the creatures that Bert and I faced were all living together. This place where I was at, Bert will never find me and who knows what the spider will do to me. The creatures had smelled me from miles away and when they saw me some stared at me and some got crazy. So as the spider went through all that and up to its own nest, It dropped me as I looked around so scared out of mind. I stood up as the spider walked away. I couldn’t see where I was at but I didn’t want to find out. I kneeled down and tried to feel around the ground where I felt sticky and gooey and mushy stuff. I picked up my hand and smelled it. BOY! Did it smell awful! As my eyes adjusted the dark I saw a figure by me. I didn’t want to look what it was but I did anyway. I reached over and gently touched it. It didn’t move and then I got closer and touched it again. Nothing...
So that’s when I grabbed it and it took me awhile but as I felt around it felt like...fingers? I looked closely but an over power smell nearly killed me. Guess what? I was right. I freaked out and threw it and I yelped. I can’t believe this! Bert please save me!! I thought... i breathed heavily and tried to stay wide awake... I stayed in silence as at times I drifted to sleep. But was awaken again when I heard a rattle and movement in the distance...
I looked in that direction blindly. The next thing, I figured the figure out. It was the spider but it had visitors...great. The spiders came surrounding me and I found the nearest object I found. (Which was an ax, wonder how it got there?) “STAY BACK!” I yelled and I was ready to fight if only they attacked. Me against 3 spiders. So once was made one move I swung axe at the spider and made it bleed, green blood squirted out as I moved away from it and swung again. So this mean business... once the spider got that, they all attacked as I ran and swung, one, I got them really angry that they will want to hurt me and two, that I didn’t want to die. Blood and spider parts went everywhere, as chopped and chopped away at each one. It went on me and I mean everywhere. It’s legs, head and many more flew here and there and I couldn’t believe that I was winning! Once I was done with the last one I was exhausted and out of breath. I fell on my knees and I looked everywhere and saw how gruesome it was... I knew from this on I was a different person. I looked at my arm and it was stinging badly. I was bitten by one of the spiders. I dropped the ax and then began to cry...i was trying to stay strong but not everyone was tough to hold it in. A light hit my eyes and I noticed all night I’ve been fighting the spider as a light purple light shone through. I was so glad see that and that I knew I have survived the night...

CHAPTER 9: WHERE AM I?

I was so drained but I wasn’t going to give up so easily. Bert was on my mind as I walked through the island. The spear was with me as I kept going. I used it to climb up step hills as well as getting food. I even aided my spider bitten arm by taking out the venom and wrapping it with a vine tightly.
Hrs. flew by and no search of anybody. It was quiet almost too quiet. I heard a small screech behind me behind me and I quickly turned, the spear pointing out. Nothing...
Soon I heard running and turned the other way. Nothing...
“COME OUT!!” I yelled and once it teased with me again I finally faced it. This one was like a puma but imagine it 10 times your size. There was no way I would survive this one. So my decision... I ran! The puma was right at my tail. I did zig- zags but it wasn’t stupid and still went straight. I turned quickly one corner as I nearly fell and behind me all I heard was tree stumping, crashing, and thundering footsteps. I turned again but I jumped on a bush and fell over. I faced my back on the bush and stayed quiet. My heart thump loudly in my ears and I listened carefully. I dared to take a peek and I saw the creature 2 feet away from me. I looked straight ahead and saw that there was a tree nearby. I looked again quickly and then crawled slowly and lowly toward tree. I looked back a few times but when I got to the tree I quickly slammed my back on the bark. I stayed down for a few minutes and that when I heard the footsteps so close. I had goose bumps all over my body. Then it’s head came in. I held my breath...
The moment was tense that I began to sweat. The puma smelled around and hopefully it wouldn’t notice me. Finally after a long moment that seemed like forever, it went back and I sighed in relief...as I stood up I ran down the hill I saw a familiar figure. A boy 5’10 handsome, tall and blonde sat down by himself with his head down. “BERT!” I yelled the boy looked up and looked around. “BERT!” I yelled again and this timed he looked in my direction and I waved at him and immediately he stood up and ran toward me. Once we reached one another, I jumped on him as we kissed in happiness. I got down and Bert gave a thousand kisses non-stop. “I missed you so much. I thought you weren’t alive.” he said and we kissed one more time. I’ve never missed him so much or anyone in my life before besides my family of course. Bert looked at me and saw what I was covered in, “what happen to you?” he said. He even noticed my arm that was wrapped up with a vine. I just looked at him with my eyes full of love. “You will never believe it.” I said and he smiled at me and he just wiped the sticky smelly goo away from my cheek. “I have all day.” He said kissing me one more time.

CHAPTER 10: KEEP HOLDING ON

Bert kicked the wooden door to the side as he carried me in bridal style in our “home”. We fell as he kissed me all over. I laughed as I pulled his thick blonde hair back romantically. Bert slid his hands on my back and all over almost ripping my shorts off and I took off my bra once again and he took of his pants as we went with round two. He kissed my neck and I pulled him to my lips. “Show me again how much you love me.” I said and he did. He messaged between my legs and I moaned in pleasure he pulled me up as he hovered over me. I slid my legs down his leg and touched his muscular arms. Bert began to sweat as I licked the sweat away and bit on his nipple.
“mmmmmmmm” I said as I bit my lip. Bert kissed me so strongly as I pulled his lower lip out. I sat on his lap and whipped my hair back as he kissed between my breasts. I groaned in pleasure and wanted him to tickle my ticklish spot. He again rocked me as I once again clawed him but made him bleed. Finally, I was free to yell and I did. “Yes!” I yelled and he chuckled and looked at me. I just stared at him.
This could only last forever.
After the powerful sex we lay together as Bert kissed my forehead and I lay on his chest again and slid a sexy finger down his chest. Even though we lay together naked I didn’t want to move away from him but sooner or later we have to because we were not safe in here. Once dressed, we went out of our “home” and had plans to finish up and a round two to get ANYONE’s attention who was out there.

5 weeks later...

5 weeks and a Friday morning we have been on this island and nobody got our attention. Help flew by here like 3 times and didn’t notice us. It’s almost been a month for us and Bert and I believe that our parents and friends think we are dead. But we still had hope. How could we have hope when the help will say to our family that they “try” their hardest and they couldn’t find anything or any sign of us?
But while we thought of that, I, on the other hand threw up on the side of our “home” right outside and I have been doing this almost every morning. I was getting sick... weaker every day and I don’t know what was wrong with me. I was even so bloated I couldn’t bare the stomach. Bert came outside to assist me as he poured water in his hands and wash my face with it. I grabbed the water he found, drank some and gurgle it, then spit it out. I was kneeled over as Bert checked my forehead. “No fever.” He said with a bit of relief. But I always had no fever. I always felt awful and had the strangest cravings and wanted more food than I ever ate. Bert helped me up and I felt like how I felt the first day we landed here. Sea legs...
