The forest was quiet. The warm breeze gently rustled the leaves of the trees. A nearby brook babbled happily over the rocks and pebbles in its bed. Only a muffled cry coming froma giant Venus Mantrap broke the peace!
Inside Anya struggled to get free. She pushed desperately against the inside of the tough leaves but tgot nowhere and the sap burnt her hands. She knew if she didnt get free quickly the sap would slowly dissolve and digest her fabulous body, and she would wind up as nothing more than plant food.
But it was impossible to escape. The leaves held her so firmly she couldnt even reach down to get her sword out of its scabbard. Anya began to sob, partly from her predicament, partly from the pain of her burning skin. The juices were beginning to pool around her feet and soon she imagined they would fill the entire pod. Anyas feet were hurting alot now and she realised that this was the end!
Time passed and as the fluid reached her waist Anya passed out...
She awoke with a start in a strange place. Anya found herself ina room with blue tiles on the walls, and she was lying in a bed with soft white sheets. The pain from the acid was gone and she checked her legs and skin... She was healed! But who had rescued her? Moments later that question was answered. |
